Zakk Wylde, James Het. I don't know why.
Well, lose the lisp.Pflöyd wrote:Really, vocals are my absolute weakest thing which is pretty much why I don't do them at all. My vocal range is pretty much in the lower Michael Hutchence/Patton/Pete Steele/Leonard Cohen range. Slow and deep ( :o ) and almost deliberate. I have a "phone sex" quality to my voice (so I'm told) but it's pretty limited and already well-done by other people already, so I'd never actually use it.

I think (although I'm not sure) that most DM vocalists growl at very low volumes?DBS wrote:how do people do death metal vocals? do all dm vocalists have some sort of processor, akin to something like a distortion pedal for a guitar?
It's basically just using the back of your throat. Some of them do use pitch shifters and distortion though.DBS wrote:how do people do death metal vocals? do all dm vocalists have some sort of processor, akin to something like a distortion pedal for a guitar?
Whoa there, young fella. Let's not get crazy here.DBS wrote:its on par to opera singers.
i agree that opera singers are much more skilled in their sonics. however in terms of difficulty, both death metal vocalists and opera singers operate at similar levels. this may well be many pints of cider speaking, but i appreciate both equally. having said that, i'd rather listen to opera than DM. but much like DM theres only a few people i genuinely like. i cant, for instance, listen to ANY female opera singer. ive digressed so much off what i meant to say i feel stupid for continuing typing. im sorry floyd for this awful post. death metal sucks and so does ballet.Pflöyd wrote:Whoa there, young fella.

i was unaware that i'd divulged the entirety of my musical library to the board. i listen to very little opera music. i have maybe 12-13 operatic songs on my playlist, taken from about 14 CDs that are in my parents' houses. i have a similar amount of Death Metal songs. i was simply comparing the two, not trying to appear cultured.BassPhemy wrote:If you're trying to imply that you actually listen to opera you're full of shit.
i want you to check out this dudes voice. im seen him perform live, he doesnt use a harmonizer or anything. he uses some REALLY weird techniques....Pflöyd wrote:Death metal vocals (as I have heard them) come from the bottom of the diaphragm and the back of the throat. Singing like that is only as difficult as it is to sing in the lower baritone/bass range in that it requires a lot more abdominal force because lower notes require more energy. DM vocals don't require intonation really, so manipulation of the facial muscles to command pitch isn't even really an issue, so it's purely endurance and little else.
And it's no secret that "singing" like that is horrible for your voice in general. It's a lot of undue strain on the vocal chords.

his main voice he inhales rather than exhales to get that sound. he also has the squeal scream and "predator" voice.
