Skizzo00 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi new to the forum Been reading through many threads, only just started back at page 70 & im gradually reading backwards trying to learn as much as possible. Ive basically learnt mainly from SLS in the past. Anyway so as im reading i thought id start a thread specifically aimed at what im looking for as i go. These singers: 0:02, 0:16 etc The gritty/distortion effect he puts on his vocals when he goes high. 5:36, 5:47 & onwards. Again this guy uses it for the higher notes often from then onwards. Do you achieve it via learning to close off the vocal folds/holding your breath & then use your stomach muscles to "support/push" the air through gradually creating the rough sound. Am i on the right track? Any info/terms/threads you have towards clearing up this subject for me would be great thankyou ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzo00 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I see this has prompted some serious discussion lol I wasnt sure if theyre doing some kind of vocal fry taken up high, i can do that quite easily. I think what theyre actually doing is what this guy shows for chest grit just taken up higher: I can do that i think, it does feel a little sore though even though i feel it in the soft palate. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePowerOfOne Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Tell you the truth, I don't know a whole lot about distortion and how it works, so I can't help you there. What I do know is that distortion/grit/rasp etc, are advanced techniques, so make sure you know what you're doing, and also make sure you're supporting properly before you fool around with it too much.
