Its been a while since i uploaded anything. Just recently discovered Obscura, and felt the urge to learn a few licks and riffs. This one pretty much forced me to start practising on arpeggios and stringskipping again, which is good =) My playing is sloppy as hell. But it will get better i hope

      Just be natural and dont force it. You already know how to do it subconciously example when you are really angry and scream at someone, you may notice that u already has that basic growl. If you can somehow capture that technique while u r angry and learn to reproduce it later then u can build upon that basic growl to evolve into other type of growls

    After I have practised I can feel a small pain in my throat. On a 1-10 scale it's a 2. It always dissapears. Is that normal in the beggining or am I doing something wrong?

    • @Slowfingered
      @Slowfingered 3 місяці тому

      This is a tricky one to answer. But the most important thing is that you don't feel pain while doing it. Pain is a clear indication of wrong technique. But what you describe sounds more like being sore after a long workout, which is normal in the beginning. As it takes time for your muscles in the throat to adapt. But it can also be that you are pushing your voice alittle too much. Or trying to do too much in too short time. I mostly felt this in the beginning. Then i learned to not push as hard, and be more relaxed. But i still feel sore every now and then after a long recording session, or live show. Just listen to your body, and see if it gets better. If not - try something different. Hope this made sense, cheers

    Thank you for sharing :) My question is: do you consider it safe to try to learn growling on your own, with YT tutorials for example, on a regular basis? I'd love to learn growling but I'm too anxious to find myself a coach. Yet I'm concerned that incorrect techniques, if not pointed out by someone and fixed, could make some damage to my vocal chords. What do you think?

    • @Slowfingered
      @Slowfingered 3 місяці тому

      Think of it as going to the gym. Do you need a personal trainer to learn how to work out? No. You can figure it out on your own. Just pay attention to your body. Try stuff out. If you feel pain while doing it, then you're 100% doing it wrong. If not, then keep doing it until you see results. If you don't see results, try something new. Thats my approach to pretty much everything. Unlike working out, it is very hard for someone to hear if you have bad technique. It's all about how you feel when you do it. But with that said. It sure doesn't hurt having someone giving you tips & tricks to get stuff going in the right direction. As i did in this video. Hope my answer somewhat helped. Good luck, keep at it!

    • @Slowfingered
      @Slowfingered 5 місяців тому

      Right on, thank you. You sound alot more genuine if you use your own vocal style, because you're able to relax more and not think about it. Taking breaks and days off is super important. For the last album i did 4-6 hour recording sessions, then took one day off before next one. That way, you recover and don't build fatigue. Cheers

    • @Slowfingered
      @Slowfingered 5 місяців тому

      Hard to say. But i suspect that the cough is a result of using the wrong technique, which is causing strain. You should feel no strain, discomfort or pain at all. Check out my first video in the description. Wish you the best, don't give up. Cheers man

    • @Slowfingered
      @Slowfingered 7 місяців тому

      Correct. But i explain it in a different way. By learning to shout "Hey" as i do in th video, you automatically engage the right muscles. Using the 'diaphragm' and other terms never helped me understand what it means or how it should feel. But you're 100% right about not pushing it with your throat. Cheers

      Thanks for the feedback! It's a bit hard to know without hearing/seeing what your doing. But a thing to keep in mind is that it's not about the volume and doing it "loud". Try to do a deep laugh (if that makes sense) without it being loud. The louder you are, the more tension your putting on your throat. Atleast from my experience. Might do a part2 video on this. Hope it made sense. Cheers mate

" Alex stop trying to sound like Dani Filth and put more Balls in Your voice .....Which at the time really pissed me off...But it was the perfect fuel to The fire...I would practice at it Daily with that idea seared in my head ...Kinda of like how you clearly pointed out.."

But atleast for me, i had no idea how my natural and relaxed growl would sound until i found it. Only been doing this for 5 years so far. But 2 albums and a bunch of live shows later, i still sound like i did when i started.
