(1/7) > >>

mookers:
yeah, i'm in two bands now in a place that is very sparse with talented musicians with indie rock tastes, so i'm tryig to cover multiple roles. so far i'm just a bassist (but i'm looking into expanding that) and i'd like to learn to sing like the dudes from Grandaddy and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. i've been told i'm a tenor, and i can sing on pitch, but my range is horrible.

i don't really know what i'm asking. i guess i'm asking if any vocalists out there have any tips that could help me train my voice. it is hell of frustrating. i can make my hands more nimble or expand my lung capacity for wind instruments, but can i expand my pitch range and improve the sound of my voice? (it's kind of bad.) or is that something one is just born with?

mookers:
ennybody

RUMBLEMOOSE:
Yes you can.

Bear in mind I'm a terrible singer, but I have it on good authority that you can learn how to sing. There are tons of vocal coaches all over the world, they must be doing something other than telling their students, "stop sucking so bad."

I've heard tell that Chris Cornell used to sing/scream the highest note he could reach as loud as he could first thing every morning, and the note would gradually get higher and higher. The downside is that, nine times out of ten, this will ruin your voice first.

mookers:
haha i suppose you're right.

and egad. that is dodgy.

mookers:
there has to be a way that costs less (read: no) money though. i am hell of poor. the only instruments i've ever bought new were from Costco.
