Brutal Vocals ?!
Question: I am in a band and all we're missing is a vocalist... none of us can sing much.
We were wondering if someone that can't sing could sing brutal, and how to achieve that ?!

i sing for a metal band so i guess i scream to.. im a vocalist.... now how to scream properly. first off do not do it the same way you sing cuz you will really tear up your vocal chords. you need to actually scream(or yell) but you need to do so while useing your diphraghm and the most important thing...DO NOT FORCE IT AND IF IT HURTS STOP! there is a better way to do it. also if you kinda push from the muscle right below your bellybutton it will make it come out easier but it kinda makes you feel like you gotta poo. but after you get used to it and get it down the feeling will go away.
one of the biggest things also is to not think about it. ive found that when i am just there and in the moment type deal with my voice it sounds better and just kinda flows out. (guess that goes with what i said before dont force it)
this like anything else takes time and alot of pratice. the first few times you do it you will probably loose your voice but it will fall into place. i mean when i first started i did it by trial and error and probably did a number on my chords. for like 3 months id loose my voice every pratice.
also theres this dvd (the zen of screaming) i got it after i learned how to scream and i found out i figured the right way to do it already but it still had some good tips and stuff. not bad to have especially for the vocal warmups. also i have an article that ive written that goes more in depth if you want me to email it to you get ahold of me.
if this helps or if you have anymore questions you can email me at

listen to david gates and bread
Listen to Pantera, or the Gorn from the original Star Trek.
It takes practice but yes you can do it. The main tip is to not form the growl in the back of your throat as this will sound alright but will quickly mess up your throat.
Start with a deep breath and kinda clench your abs as if trying to force your breath out but don't let it exit your body all at once let it exit while you want to say something.
Play with tongue placement to change the sound and after practicing you will begin to form your own technique.
Drink lots of room temperature water.
Tell you what everyone! This guy asking the question is super smart. He answered one of my questions and he is really cool.
I don't know much about a band but I know you are cool and I suggest craigs list for a vocalist.
