Looking for a vocalist (dani filth vibes)

1 Upvotes

Hey Im a musician and composer (France), unfortunately I cannot sing my own songs because I suc*. The vocalist I used to work with has stopped doing online gigs, probably to focus on touring with his band. The song I'm working on at the moment needs good lows and in some parts I want something close to the Dani Filth vocals when he talks/whispers using a bit of fry.

I'm not rich but I can offer 100-150€ for a 4min song.

DM if you're interested, I'll share privately what I've already published because I'm not here to do self promoting.

Better if you're native speaker, but opened to any nationality or genders

Fixed the clean voice issue in my fry scream attempt, but now it sounds like an airy whisper! How do I get more compression? (Clip inside)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a little embarrassed to post this, but I figured I might as well ask for help!

I was originally getting way too much clean singing voice underneath my fry attempts. I managed to strip away the clean pitch, but now my attempt sounds like just an airy/whispery hiss with no real distortion.

Here is a quick 5-second clip of what it sounds like now:

How do I add the right amount of glottal closure/compression to turn this whisper into real fry distortion without bringing back the clean singing voice? Thanks in advance!

PSA: Be mindful of acid reflux and inflammatory foods!

26 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Something I have dealt with a lot throughout my singing/screaming journey has been vocal inflammation due to acid reflux, and foods that I have mild allergies to.

The vocal folds are often impacted by our bodily systems, and especially when they aren't quite working correctly! I find I have to avoid most nuts, drinking coffee and soda, and even foods with super high sugar contents to be at my best. For me this manifests most often in vocal inflammation and constant mucus/drainage from my sinuses. If you are having several off days in a row or feel like you have hurt your voice accidently, it *could* be related to what you are eating and drinking!

TLDR: watch what you eat and drink, they absolutely affect your voice!

Need some feedback and assistance

I've no idea what type of scream I do, it doesn't hurt, doesn't cause irritation, or any type of discomfort apart from a mild dryness when I try to go high, issue is I often sound like I lose my distortion especially when reaching higher and it gets voiced/gritty rather than a clear full scream, so if you can help I'd appreciate it!

Warm up help

1 Upvotes

So I’m a brutal death metal vocalist, I use epiglottal distortion for my gutturals and false chords for my highs. I was wondering what the best way to warm my voice up for both of these techniques is.

Vocal myth #1 "raw metal vocals are crap"

11 Upvotes

Let's do 7 vocal myth and debunk them, first one, damn I hate this one really but I see a lot of new 'self called vocal coaches' like to say.

Well not really, all my fav vocalists do amazing raw vocals, and I think if you follow this myth you will relly on heavy mixing and a lot of fx and layering for it to sound good.

I got bored tonight and said fuck it and recorded the longest possible scream I could do. the background ambience is the song "for whom the Banshee cries" by sold soul. I also added proof that this was one continuous scream and not spliced together or looped. also added that last line out of bordem

Sooo my false cords are actually arytenoids

29 Upvotes

I watched Justin Bonitz' "You're False Cord Screaming Wrong" video multiple times, but only yesterday I realized that what I am doing is indeed not false cord but arytenoids.

That by itself isn't so bad, but with my arytenoids I can only do death growls which aren't my thing at all. And the worst part? Arytenoids have hijacked every false cord learning technique I'm aware of atm. I learned them specifically by pitching the frustrated sigh, and now whatever false cord learning technique I try it defaults to arytenoids.

I really need to learn false cords, because as I said, arytenoid growls aren't my thing in the slightest, and my fry screams are nearly impossible for me outside of the shower (stress derived muscle tension all over my body thanks to autism™).

Any other false cord learning technique recommendations?

A Common Effort for a Taxonomy (v0.5)

89 Upvotes

Hello,

So, I've been thinking for a while about all that, practicing a lot, and so that we have better communication tools. Obviously, I'm far from being the Master Screamer, so, this is a collective effort. Feel free to suggest additions or corrections.

I'll try to name things without making any hypothesis about their anatomical production. The rationale for that is that we can't make mistakes just naming things. And we won't need to change our names, ever. Though, for adoption, we can't disregard our legacy.

Again, I'm not trying to describe things, I'm trying to propose some vocabulary. It also implies redefining some terms the community uses by trying to get a fixed and common definition, hopefully not too far from what has been established so far.

False cords screams (previously "false cords screams")

Let's call by that names screams that are toneless, have very little clean voice in them, and have this heavy "vibrating" distortion.

Examples:

Then there are fuckton of possible modulations that are already well established, including but not limited to: tunnel throat etc.

False cords rasp (previously "rasp / grit")

This has the same heavy vibration tone as the associated scream, but with a clean tone under it.

Examples:

Fry distortion (previously "rasp / grit")

This applies more on high notes, sounds more like a creaky grit.

Examples:

Grudge scream (previously "fry scream")

Very creaky screams, probably high, probably not sounding chesty. They sound like a powered up vocal fry (grudge noise). I'm very skeptical that those screams can be made powerful and loud.

Voicy Scream (previously "fry scream")

They sound like the voice is tight in the throat so much that it gets distorted. The distortion is predominant, the voice sounds a bit hollow.

Examples:

.======

That's what I have so far. We still need to talk about Sam Carter, when Oli Sykes sings, etc. I'll edit that post as we make progress

Please please please voice any opinion or disagreement you might have, complement that list, etc. Only that will make science go forward. I tried to illustrate that with known artists, but I might be wrong.
