I hope this doesn't lead to a backlash of people yelling that this has already been talked about....
Anyway... Here go's...
I primarily do death metal vocals, and at one time, I was able to get very deep, and still be understood, and I could growl for a long time before getting harsh... Then I stopped...
Long story short, Im back to doing vocals, and I can hardly growl for more than 10 minutes before going harsh... Then on top of that, I was singing with my buddys band, and I was doing Slayer style vocals, and for some reason, when I do those vocals, I lose my voice for a couple days... now, it's been about 4 days, and my voice is pretty much back, but I can't growl to save my life...
It's like it just won't happen. It sounds more like I'm struggling to breathe than a growl...
Has this ever happened to anyone?
How can Slayer style vocals be more damaging than death vocals?
Any tips on screaming the Slayer style vocals without all the damage... I found I really enjoy that style, but when I scream that style, it's like I naturally push WAY too hard. I mean, the last time I was screaming, my head was pounding, I was drenched in sweat, I was dizzy when I was done, and I was breaking into cold sweats...
