    You're willing to do the seemingly silly things which are actually vital to the survival of metal vocalists. I have a horrible confession... I don't warm up. It's stupid and ridiculous of me, I know. I've been getting a tad cocky and now I'm suffering for it. This is exactly what I needed. Just a full, legit warmup video I can work along with to help me get my mojo back. I'm gonna follow this everytime I scream for the foreseeable future. I don't wanna lose my voice. Thanks David!

      Couldnt agree more. Im just looking into it. I like doing impressions and such and just want to learn how to do metal vocals for my own gratification and amusement so I can add it to my mental collection of vocal abilities. But he for sure takes this seriously, as silly as it seems. To me this is the equivalent of using a specific phrase to get the right "voice" for an impression. A warm up in its own right for sure. Example, I say "Holiday Hooby whatty?" To get myself into Jim Carreys Grinch voice. It has enough range and vocal variety to nail down the different inflections and facial expressions. Hasnt failed me yet. Ill definitely be giving this exercise a try

    I'm usually not warming up like this, only for a minute or two clean singing and I was always losing 40-50% of my vocal capability after rehearsals or gigs, feeling my throat kinda swollen, but after warming up with the video, daaaaamn man, I am reborn, I'm finally not losing my vocals, scream without much effort and I'm not tight as usual. Breathing feels a lot easier and I'm not pushing as much as usual. Thank you!

      Our primary focus is on creating content that will help people! When David isn’t teaching we are either filming for our EVI Now program, David is working on his own music or we are doing behind the scenes stuff (planning, editing audio/video, etc.) and trying to get sleep occasionally so there’s not that much time to do more covers or “flex videos” than we do at the moment but this series will continue on so there will be more like this soon!

    Hi David!
    I want to thank you so much for all of your helpful tutorials. I'd written a metal viking musical and have been trying to put together a pitch album, but whilst in lockdown (I live in England so we're currently in a second one!) I challenged myself to learn how to growl, so I could lay down vocals on the tracks myself.
    Not only have your tutorials really helped me to learn how to scream safely and consistently, but having had no singing training before, even the act of following the melodic part of the warm ups has made my natural singing voice ten times better!
    So thank you. If we ever get the musical funded I'd love for you to be our casts vocal coach :)

    9:55 is the only part I hate doing, I try to muffle the sound with a pillow whenever anyone's home it's so annoying. But I do it, and you helped me get a monstrous high scream (without hurting my voice) so thank you very much for that.

    EVI user here - really good to see a full warmup demonstrated.
    One thing I was hoping to get clarity on - at around 14:40, David converts that basic fry into the fully fledged fry scream. I know the advice is to 'stand up' into the fry rather than 'sit down', but I'm struggling to fully grasp that concept and how it should feel.
    Any other pointers, cues, or advice on what it should feel like?

    • @ExtremeVocalInstitute
      @ExtremeVocalInstitute  3 роки тому +20

      The fry scream is one of the most misunderstood and difficult to achieve sounds, and a lot of the time it takes trying different approaches to see what sticks. Getting the initial distortion can be achieved by letting yourself sing through a voice crack and focusing on the fry-like distortion when it comes. From there it’s using that focus to increase the amount of distortion sound and projecting it at a target in your field of view to give your body something to lock onto. From there you can let the sound and intensity of it build naturally rather than through extensive physical effort. Give that a shot and over time that should do the trick! If you feel you’re still having trouble after some time, you can always feel free to get in touch with us directly and we’d be happy to help you!

    Hi David, someone has heard my first attempt in metal singing (and I've done first project in my life as vocal duel) and said I have a talent. Because I have never sung before and have no comparison, I don't see it. There is an opportunity for me to be a metal vocalist but I want to learn how to do it all and start properly preparing and exercising my voice for what might to come. And there is my question: is it normal for me to feel my vocal cords during a warm up? Shall I warm up always breathing from the bottom; diaphragm? Do u think Ur above video is the right one for such an newbie like me? 😆 I just don't know where to start and be the best version of myself in future.

    How long before a show should you do your warmups? And I’m assuming we’re only to be warming up once daily?

    So you are expressing very softly. Is the low volume to set a pace for the warm up? To you know make sure you gradually stretch your vox? so the longer you take to warm up the better?
