bdam123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've been doing vocal exercises and studying for about 2 months now. I've seen great improvement in my singing in general. I want to learn more technique to obtain a certain kind of grit. I was wondering if you guys could guide me in the right direction. I understand that I won't be achieving these goals overnight and I'm willing to work hard to get my voice to sound the way I want it to. I just really need some light shined. Here are some examples of what I like. Go to 2:22. It starts at the beginning of the phrase "String it along say you'll love me either way" The example I gave is just one of the many occurrences of this particular technique. Feel free to scan the video for more examples. This is a more extreme version. Go to 3:07. He applies it on the word "Way" in the lyrics "This Way". Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonpall Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I was waiting for someone other than me to comment on a rasp thread :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarit_Aloni Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Maybe I didn't get it right, but It isn't you singing , right? If it isn't so I didn't understand really your post. I think that If you would liked to have some comment about your singing that will be better if you can post something of yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpall Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 His question is not well worded but I assume that he wants to learn how to sing with rasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebAndNet.com Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I may have understood the question-- improved singing with grit or rasp. If so, let me begin with singing is in the ear of the beholder. Singer does have sufficient grit, relative to the remainder of the song, to get at the desired emotion communicated. No need for more grit. However, I think his interpretation is weak, thought it is a good song. The singer has some bass and a mid range; yet, continually sings on a very high sound. This makes the song monotonous. High, high, high, and more highs. My opinion is less highs, more attention to audience singing, and more balanced in overall pitch range.

bdam123 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm more interested in the technical stuff. I'm taking a guess that some of this rasp is achieved by a strong chest voice thats being pulled up very high. Am I close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
