My personal fix to this problem is to focus more on using vibrato. That relaxes my voice and helps with pitch. I try not to overdo it, though.

I still have a bit of a difficult time handling distorted lines that go down in pitch and maintaining the distortion. I sometimes get to thin sounding. That's what Brian Johnson does as well, but I'd prefer not to. I'm going to work on it.

Yes, that's probably correct. It can actually help to think falsetto, but then really try to project to your voice and make it as loud as you can while bending at the waist and knees slightly each time you sing a line. And it can also help to think that you just want to go for it and basically scream your lungs out. Here's another tip, ask a band if you can try to sing Back in black and don't expect to nail it until after many, many tries and tell your band mates that you're just experimenting with this. That's what I did. They'll just be happy to play a song like this because it's a fun guitar song . The lines are so high that it's impossible to land in chest voice and singing this stuff with a band is the only way for you to see all the difficulties of this type of singing style. If you're just practising this at home, you may THINK that you're covering all issues but might found out that some things are missing when you try this with a band.

Now that I've been practising vocals for 7+ years with this type of singing in mind, I feel in some ways that I know less about singing But such a thing can happen on the road to mastery, if that can truly even ever be obtained. To answer your question, I believe it's a matter of several things but the most important ones are overtwanging to create the distortion (and actually conciously trying to make the sound ugly, evil and angry - and then perhaps pull back slightly if you want a bit less of the distortion), thinking about being in head voice and not chest voice for such high notes, bending slightly forwards during the sung lines to support your voice (probably the most important element because you will be experimenting with this and occasionally hurt your voice a bit, which is when you must take a break for a few minutes, and this is what protects your vocal folds from being fried to dust with too much airflow when you're doing vocals like these) and finally, try to "project" your voice to the back of the room instead of tensing up in the throat (this makes your voice big and I've found that it sounds much better with a powerful band behind you and the audience connects MUCH more to such a sound). There are other important things too, but these are the things I found to help me the most. But you guys might already be doing all or some of these things - and maybe lacking in other things, so what you need to to could be slightly different. In that case, look into stuff what you probably already have learned on this forum, like inhaling on a slight smile while keeping your shoulders down, not overly pronounce consonants, merge your vowels into the most resonant ones (Eh and Ah can help in this type of singing), etc... Good luck and hope this helps.

Hi guys, long time no see. I thought I'd post a very recent live recording of myself for the fun of it. This is me joining up on vocals with an Icelandic band called Rökkur (translates roughly to "Dusk") last weekend in a pub called Bar 11. We did many 70s and 80s rock songs that night. This is one you all know - called Thunderstruck by AC/DC ! Let me know what you think

Apart from all the normal things you need to do in order to sing healthy (support, throat relaxation, etc.), I think in this style of singing you raise your larynx unusually quickly with ascending pitch and that makes screaming easier and healthier. If you come from an SLS background you'll have a habit of not raising your larynx enough for these sounds to happen without hurting your throat. This guy overdoes the screaming in my opinion, both in this clip and some others, but here he's singing pretty clean:

Hi Ron, good to hear from you as well. Well, the part about moving to Sweden is incorrect, but I might have mentioned wanting to move there at some point . I'm gigging a few times per month, doing pop and classic rock for people to dance to - even getting paid . I've been recording Steve Vai guitar covers and putting it on youtube, practising Judo and writing lyrics and songs for upcoming original stuff. What has changed here since I've been done?

It's been quite a long time since I posted here, but I was a regular until I got famous in my village of 10 people. Ok, that's bs, but I just wanted to drop in and say hi to some of my old friends in here. What's up, guys? . Steven and Willie say hi too - I saw this video and was reminded of my favorite vocal forum:

One of your better ones, IMO. Great job Robert. Cheers.

I hadn't heard those. Extremely good Bob. How about recording entire tunes, with better equipment, and let us - and the world - enjoy your voice?

I'm coming back from the dead to give Robert HUGE props for that piece of singing! Very, very nice, Robert! One of your best singing I've heard and just great singing compared to anyone.
