      bro I am from India and I am a singer also. I wanna add some sort of distortion just like the song From the inside of Linkin park. I can hit that high note but with clean voice only. How to add that aggresion or raspiness or distortion? please make a tutorial on it. trying since last 3 years but couldn't figure out

      @@WavesOfDMusic Start at the top of your chest voice, near (but just under) your falsetto. Then add volume and FIRM breath support (your core should tighten significantly in order to get the support necessary). You’ll naturally start getting distortion. cheers! 🥂

    I've heard rumors that Michael Jackson's natural voice was quite a bit lower than his speaking voice, so he could be relaxed in that regiater all the time. Not sure how true.

    • @sellinhate9874

      That might be true. But he lost his voice over the years and adapted his music style according to that. Here is a detailed vocal analysis:

    I’m learning if you practice everything as relaxed as you can you’ll be golden. I found myself doing to much with my body a lot in the past. Watching these videos has taught me quite a bit. Still got a lot of work to do though. 😂

      Everyone wants to run before they walk I admit I was guilty of that early on. Practicing slowly bringing in the distortion instead of just trying to go for the full sprint right out the gate is the key. I still struggle going to higher notes even to this day but I can get my voice really low very easily. I may have to try what he is explaining but I have always struggled getting higher tones out of my voice.

    Singing is like everything else, you have build the body in the area you want to use proficiently. If you’ve never bench pressed before, you can’t expect to go beat the world record on your first try., if you’ve never driven a car you probably won’t win a formula 1 race. Practice practice practice, and let your body build itself to handle what you want to perform.
    That’s been my understanding.

      @TheMookie1590 2 місяці тому

      dont forget to adjust your breath compression when adding distortion. some people crank a lot more compression in when adding distortion when its not needed.
      this triggers yourValsalva maneuver as well which increases your blood preassure a ton. which increases tension.
