The nitty gritty

Good video Derek!

 

The most interesting part for me is when you explain what to visualize in order to get that gritty stuff into your soft palette-ish area. Because that's really hard. It's just like mongolian throat singing, kargyraa style. I've been struggling with it for years, but haven't found it yet.

 

So what I'm asking I guess is, are there more ways of approaching it, apart from being a mullet?

I have no idea. Let me try again.



Apart from sounding like a
muffler
, how do I activate the grittily grit-grit-grittidy?

 

 

Tellin ya dude, mimic a muffler and engage your abs. Its hard....took me about 3 years to be able to do it right. If you can get the initial "muffler" sensation down....you are well on your way.

Can you explain how Juliet Simms gets that clean,

crisp, grittiness when she is wailing in this video?

Damn, she can certainly wail! All grit comes from the same place...you can vary the amount of "effect" by how much downward support you use.

 

She almost has a bluesy grit to her voice in spots. I'm not very good at it, but from what I've read, blues grit is done by maintaining a raised larynx ( Kermit the Frog ) type sound, and then adding in the grit. Kinda like the grit Christina Aguilera uses...or Louis Armstrong.
