a question about screaming.

[kariann330]

Death growls, banshee screams, i do it all and have for about 4-5 years. Im professionally trained by one of the best in the hardcore industry, the lead singer from Otep. Im wondering if anyone knows if the technique i have learned will make vocal feminization easier for me, or harder for me. Also if there are any other screamers here i would love your feedback especially on this one.

Thanks
Kari.

I was a champion Death Metal vocalist having learned from the best (Mark "Barney" Greenway, Lee Dorrian, Mick Harris, Jeff Walker, Bill Steer, Ken Owen & Oscar Garcia).

I was able to do it flawlessly and with no throat strain whatsoever. But once I stopped recording stuff for my solo project in 2003, things began to decline. Then my tonsils became infected. So, between that and working on my female voice, my Death vocals totally died (pun intended).

In the last year or so, I have not only got my death growls back along with developing a decent female singing voice, the thing that worked for me is a lot and lot of practice and retraining the muscles in my throat once I had my female speaking and singing voice down.

Mike Patton was also a huge inspiration in that regard as well.
