How do you fix this?!
Question: When I growl, sometimes my throat suddenly gets dry and I can't growl anymore cuz I don't hear anything but air coming out. Sometimes, even if i drink plenty of water I still can't get that sound. I'd learn to growl properly, and I don't are about people telling you the same old stuff like --breathe from your diaphragm-- or --push the air, do this and do that and blah blah blah-- looks like nothing really helps.
How can I growl all day long without having this problem? And how do I increase the volume?

i sing for a metal band and had the same problem. you are forcing it to much it sounds like. the biggest thing i learned was not to force the screams or growls because it will injure your vocal chords. rule of thumb if it hurts youre doing it wrong. there is a great dvd out called "the zen of screaming" by melissa cross who has worked with lamb of god every time i die godforbid and alot of other bands. hope that helps a lil.
as for volume we need to realize that when you are growling or screaming you are yelling not singing. it is not the same form of techenique but the basics are the same.
What is with people asking retarded questions. Why on earth would you want to growl all day?
Practice makes perfect. Try to quit practicing each day before your voice disappears. This will build it up instead of breaking it down. Your voice is like a muscle. If you work it too hard you are damaging it too much and can't use it. Just a little each day will build it up like building muscle. And arizona green tea instead of water helps because it has honey in it.
