Kurt Cobain didn't distort his voice, he literally destroyed it. Not did he smoke like a chimney (don't smoke) but his singing-style obliterated his cords, nightly.
False. He distorted his voice purposefully. Usually during live sessions he was on heroin and other substances and smoked cigarettes a lot so the sounds were not quite consistent and but the distortions were wanted and controlled when he wasn’t that messed up. He didn’t destroy his voice at all but he did destroy his life with his deep depression and overall lifestyle / drug addiction.
He sang pretty bad on unplugged , singing the meat puppets song I remember his voice sounded like trash, I used to think it was intentional like on smells like team spirit but he definitely didn’t have good technique he kinda just winged it , like his live Guitar playing sometimes
Can you actually explain the technique rather than just doing it?? Like not just saying; Step 1. Sing normally Step 2. Now sing with perfect distortion 🤔
I came here to say the same thing, and kind of leaning into the note? Man, that doesn’t help at all. It’s like asking for a map to get somewhere and you say “eh, that way-ish”
Amazing approach For someone like me at 76 years of age, and many years of struggling to reach top notes in opera etc (As a tenor expected at least top c) . this came 60 years too late!! But they say never too late. I feel like reborn with your techniques. I thank you so much and wish you all good things..
Well I have to admit, that this Video is absolutly wrong. 1. Louis is using the epiglotis and not the falsecords. What's the difference? The epiglotis is the part of the throat we use to swallow. The falsecords are desined to help us cleaning the vocalfolds. So the falsecords are above the vocalcords. That's a big difference (but both techniques ain't easy.)
They never do. It’s the most annoying thing ever. And all they do ask if their range is amazing and can’t barely hold a note. I’m like bro do you even watch the videos. Is like one ear in out the other,
I can do the Louis sound perfectly!!! But vibrating my true vocal cords feels impossible 🥺. It always hurts and I can’t seem to figure it out at all. I usually just use the false vocal cord bits to spice things up since I’m mostly singing jazz to myself anyway, but when I want to sing rock is just sound so flat without that added texture. I can’t figure what that added distortion feels like, so I can’t figure out how to produce it. Maybe I’m just not made for this lol
Well you're absolutly made for it. It's just that louis Armstrong is using the epiglotis and not the falsecords like it's mentioned in the video. Those are two different techniques by them own.
Wrong. You actually did cartilage and epiglottis vibrations instead of false vocal cords - they were involved in phonation, too, but they were not making the main distortion.
Hi Matt! Unrelated-- I'm looking to educate myself on the larynx, diaphragm and the body overall regarding vocals. Only done a quick Google search; do you have any specific direction for me to go? Thank you for the video
Please check out my Nirvana covers. You see you don't have to destroy your voice to imitate Kurt Cobain. I've been singing along with Nirvana for nearly 30 years. I have figured out and taught myself how to sing in his style. I have a very good understanding of his vocal melodies and guitar melodies. In fact I'm interested in starting a Nirvana cover band and eventually original band if anyone interested.
maybe im too much of a newb for it but this how to tutorial forgot how to explain how to sing like that. Seems like great exercises but not very helpful if you have no idea how to make that sound in the first place. :( very discouraging.
That's cool but you didn't explain how to add the grit brother. We can't add grit to singing if we don't know how to access the grit in the first place my guy
Would you consider this (chorus), ua-cam.com/video/0joxaFXo7Bs/v-deo.html, rasp and distortion? Also, how amazing are his vocals?I am a mediocre guitar player trying to get better at singing to accompany my playing. I just found your channel and am excited to dig in.
@@ramseyvoicestudio here ua-cam.com/video/H8bn4w3mMrI/v-deo.html it's insane!! people used to talk about how her vocal range wasn't even fully developed yet and she already made some ~magic~ (she was 19 at the time) 🤩 seriously, you'll thank me later hahaha. i'd love to see your reaction 👀
Hello i wanna ask one quick question what² do i need to learn apart riff run, vibrato ,falsato, Vocal fry .... Can you plzz tell me i wanna be a singer im trying my best to learn.... And what are they all call all these like a combination of all these things that a vocalist should know example riff n runs, vibrato n others
Techniques like the ones you mention are last in importance in learning to sing. You must have a good grip on the basics, check this out: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-sing/

Thank you wery much for lesson. Can you to analize rasping quality for Daria Zaritskaya ( Metallica mushup). The UA-cam channel is: 'Sershen&Zaritskaya'.
Hi im new hear im learnin hard rock and metal core. My 3 inspirations are craig mabbitt(escape the fate), jermy (a day to remember), and spencer charnas (ice nine kills) ibe learned a lot so far.
Would you agree that this song has vocal distortion ua-cam.com/video/S5PofRQAGLc/v-deo.html ? If not, I really want to learn whatever it is she does to achieve that growl-esque sound
Yes!! I wanted this for future!! Right now I'm finding & developing my mixed voice though let me get rid of my vocal break & learn singing normally & THEN!! This legendary distortion is waiting for me!!!! Btw my vocal break is at e4 but I still get 'a little bit strain' like my larynx raises around 1-2 Centimeter, now is okay to raise the larynx by a little bit!? & also I'm practicing mixed voice it's very hard to sing in mixed voice I'm practicing though some turns I end up finding it & then again I start cracking pulling my chest voice bla bla! Anyways so so raising the larynx by around 1 centimeter okay?
@@ramseyvoicestudio yeah I've seen it & practicing the exercises fr some time... I some time end up singing in mixed voice accidentally but have strain in it plus all the other times I either crack or pull my chest, I'm trying to remember my mixed voice feeling & use it but I can't even hit a g4 with mixed voice (whereas I can belt higher than g4) I crack if I try I can 'sometimes' hit e4 with mixed voice... I think I should make my mixed voice e4 sound good & not strainy first then go higher right!??
@@ramseyvoicestudio cool! Then I'm gonna work on my e4 with mixed voice then will go higher, & btw I'm not sure if I'm a tenor or not though my voice sounds pretty light like brendon Urie type a lil bit, but still not sure, I can't sing in mixed voice but my 'just chest voice' belting is actually very good lol I can belt a g4-g#4 if I'm warmed up, my best belt is normally is f4 f#4 not higher will work on that later, I'm gonna work on the e4 first, well being honest I'm not also sure about my vocal break/passagio my d4 is kinda awkward maybe that's my, anyway but my passagio is somewhere in the d4-e4 area & I hope I'm a tenor (& will remain one after puberty too, btw I hit puberty at 12, in 2019) & gonna work on mixed voice! Well is there any way to know if I'm a tenor or not? & also will I remain a tenor or not??
I don't think it's time yet to have a vocal studio, mate. Also what you present here is not really a rock distortion. CVT calls it blues growl i think and besides impersonating Louis Armstrong and some blues (ish), or gospel scenarios - there's not that much use for it.

@winternight119 sorta- he was literally screaming. That's what was originally meant. You're not supposed to literally scream.
@@PascaleLaurent81A clear example is in the song "Where did you sleep last night"
He sang pretty bad on unplugged , singing the meat puppets song I remember his voice sounded like trash, I used to think it was intentional like on smells like team spirit but he definitely didn’t have good technique he kinda just winged it , like his live
Guitar playing sometimes
Kurt smoked from the age of 12. What are you on about?
I can't get distortion happen and sound like I'm singing at all. 😭 I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'll keep trying.
same
Can you actually explain the technique rather than just doing it??
Like not just saying;
Step 1. Sing normally
Step 2. Now sing with perfect distortion 🤔
Apex, are you able to sing clearly already? Step one
@@ramseyvoicestudioYeah, i was wondering how to get from a nice clear "Ay" sound, to adding the grit. how should it feel?
kind of like you're leaning into the note
I came here to say the same thing, and kind of leaning into the note? Man, that doesn’t help at all. It’s like asking for a map to get somewhere and you say “eh, that way-ish”

I'm pretty sure you're using arytenoids here and not your false cords
probably both
I would argue that when you release a video, it at least flirts with the coolness of raspy and distorted voices. Thanks for this one buddy.
you're welcome!
I guess I am quite off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
You said it Matt. Learn to sing clean and correct first. Few beginners will listen.
hopefully they will!
They never do. It’s the most annoying thing ever. And all they do ask if their range is amazing and can’t barely hold a note. I’m like bro do you even watch the videos. Is like one ear in out the other,

But where is the rasp? :(
this sounds like arytenoid rattle/jazz growl.
most of it is. There’s a little false vocal chords sometimes, but the vast majority isn’t. I don’t think this guy is very well versed on rock vocals.

Hey, are you familiar with Chuck Billy from Testament? His voice is considered raspy and distorted right?
that,
false cord
true+false cord
and true cord helped me to find it, thanks
That's my singing style when i had a band, but now I know that there's a right exercise to do that, I'm not doing it correctly before
That was dreadful in the beginning when you were singing with distortion.
I think I'll pass on doing these exercises. I don't like rasp and I don't like distortion in my voice. I already sound like a cat! Lol
yeah, I don't like doing it much, just for example
