The Best Rock Singing Techniques

Aug 1 / Draven Grey
Explore the benefits of practicing range and dynamics, utilizing voice breaks, and the safe approach to high notes and distortion. From being solid in the basics of singing, to warmups and live recordings, we discuss the absolute best techniques to focus on in order to improve your voice and give you room to grow.

In This Episode...

  • Why practicing both range and dynamics is valuable for high notes and distortion
  • How utilizing your voice break can allow you to tap into different harmonics
  • How adding distortion can help relax the voice into higher pitches
  • Be careful on low screams: the danger of pushing distortion
  • The note vs the approach: knowing what you’re doing wrong when singing high notes
  • Up and over: how to successfully sing higher
  • Twang compression: the power of keeping your resonance up rather than pushing
  • The power of cry: how feminizing the voice and whimpering makes it easier to sing
  • Cry vs twang: why cry and twang are useful for belting and distortion
  • If it feels too heavy, it probably is: going off of what you feel in your voice rather than what you hear in an album 
  • When you want to push, cry more: why crying is essential to singing well
  • The main benefit of listening to live recordings: holding yourself to realistic standards
  • Singing is a fine motor skill: how learning new coordinations for the voice is like learning to write
  • Give yourself time and space to grow: learning to sing is a process
  • The power of the essentials: you are never too good to go back and touch up on the basics
  • Why a good warmup is an essential part of singing well
