  1. Speaking of vowel shade.. a great example is Layne Staley. Not many people can imitate him well.. He sings in the mask and very nasally..and has a distinct way with this consonants and vowels.
  2. absoutely.. it takes practice and you definitely need to be careful, practice the technique and be patient.
  3. Great topic.. And yes it is about pressure and conserving your breath. I have been watching Ken's videos and practicing the technique for quite some time. In my opinion what it really comes down to is achieving a confident great sounding upper register without blowing your voice out. If you can focus your tone and sound with good breath support, you can produce the desired sounds and then let the PA system carry your voice into the club. And the audience hears this great powerful sound. I am a baritone like Ken. I use to think I was limited to singing stuff like the doors and stone temple pilots.. etc.. medium range stuff. I was always lucky and had a very high range, however it would kill me to sing more than a couple high songs at gigs.. my voice would tire. But with this technique I can sing all the high material I want and I feel fine the next morning. And you can get that powerful raspy sound without killing yourself. As Ken says you need to compress so that you dont expel to much air drying yourself and totally wearing your voice out. The rasp is lightly added but the sound you achieve with the proper technique is awesome.
