    Since this is such an iconic heavy rock/metal scream which many vocalists simply can't match, I would have liked to hear more about what it takes to match that breathe endurance. I can't match that scream and many trained vocalists can't either. How might someone train their lungs and diaphragm to emulate that very visceral scream? Perhaps that sort of held vocal fry is damaging to the voice, all of your listeners would be very interested in the mechanics of that extreme voice in that studio.
    Also, I love your content and I keep coming back for a reason!

    • @buttnugget2900
      @buttnugget2900 Рік тому

      Often times the scream is quiet so it uses less breath and the mic is held close to the mouth to pick up the quieter scream and make it sound louder. It's more about sustaining a good air control than power behind it.

    The mono, lo-fi thing at the intro is kind of a stylistic choice. I think it can add tension to the start of a song, and contrasting lo-fi with the full production when the song fully kicks in makes the rest of the song sound more full and intense.

      I don't know whether he wrote this song or not, and i don't know how his life was(whether he was depressed his whole life or at the end), but i do believe that singing all these depressing or songs with deep meaning that talk about depression, suicide, numbness etc.. that it affected his mind - placebo is a very powerful thing, you know how someone tells you "Just smile a little, you'll feel happier" - and it is true, if you do put on a fake smile, you'll feel a little bit joyful... Imagine rehearsing these kinds of songs over and over and over, even if its just a song, you're still talking about depressing stuff, and your brain gets tricked..

  • @tennies
    @tennies Рік тому

    It's certainly processed to do the "mono speaker thing" at the beginning, but it is also partially what you have to do to have multiple instruments live together in a mix. If you listen to a soloed guitar in most rock songs, it's a much thinner sound than you perceive it to be in the mix. The bass, drums, and that second guitar really fill in the frequencies. You can actually hear some of this if you look up the Live at the AOL Sessions. It also seems much more pronounced live as the volume difference doesn't come through the same way between a mic and your ears (and you aren't going to have that much volume difference on a recording).

    @The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage Рік тому +12

    For the intro bit... Often times, for hard rock and metal, the rhythm guitar is recorded twice if not four times, with one set panned left, one set panned right, creating that wide, beefy sound.
    The intro probably started by having just one guitar track placed in the center with no bass guitar playing to provide that extra oomph.

    I have a couple of suggestions for you, Ken. They're definitely different than this one, though.
    The first one is inside the wonderful world of Bardcore - Hildegard Von Blingin'. There isn't much in the way of a video to watch, but she changes the lyrics of songs so they match an Old English style of speaking (the music does too). I also really like her voice :)
    The second is Eurielle. Pick a song. Any song. You can't lose.
