qft.

before you sing you should drink straight up water... things like soda, and juice all have things in them (like sugar) that can coat your vocal chords and make them less effective...

i'm an instrumentalist but i'm in this class about singing right now if you'd like to know more about how to make singing easier on you....

same here. and i find that weird. i mean...it's liquid and it's got water and fruit in it...what's the deal?

KharBevNor:
A lot of people disagree with it, but I basically think at least part of the problem with the relative uniformity in a lot of black metal nowadays is everyone is singing the same. The best black metal vocalists are people like Varg Vikernes, who just sound like some poor bastard being tortured in a dungeon of ice.

And every black metal album, if not song, needs at least one point where some fucking krieg riff comes in and the singer just screams until he starts choking. Those are the greatest things ever.

Same thing goes for folk, especially neo-folk. Don't learn to sing! In my opinion, some of the rougher sounding vocalists have an authenticity and emotion entirely absent from more trained types. The exception to this rule is the lass you get to sing your lines back at you, who should never have anything less than operatic training.

That is one of the reasons I like wassisname from Rise Against. He doesn't have the most perfect voice in the world, it's pretty rough around the edges, and he doesn't have a great range. But it does the job, and he sounds real, and he sounds like he's putting every last damn bit of effort into every word.

Bob Dylan is another example of that. His singing on his first Christian album, Slow Train Coming is probably some of the worst he's ever done. Ever. But on 'I Believe In You,' it's probably the most passionate he's ever done, and it's beautiful, even though holding some of the longer notes his voice cracks and falls apart.

You can't replace passion and honesty with competence.
