VOKILLLZZZ SUGGESTIONES[views:4028][posts:22]__________________________________________________ [Sep 17,2008 8:44pm - DEATH FIEND sli sli sli ""] so the new incarnation of deathamphetamine requires that i do vox. now i've been doing all sorts of different pukes screams and growls for recording projects for years, at full volume too, but after 3 solid hours of doing it at practice my throat gets a little sore, and this is not helped by my prodigious bong-hitting. any of you vocalists out there have any suggestions for warm-up exercises, or after-practice damage control? kthx |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 17,2008 9:48pm - Dave_Maggot ""] nothing to it but to do it, and do it and do it. it'll get easier and easier. |

| ________________________________ [Sep 17,2008 10:10pm - Pires ""] agreed maggot. only way its going to feel comfortable is to train your throat to make it comfortable, and the only way is to keep doing it. its not something you can really teach. just keep at it, and eventually it'll work and you wont get sore. and lay off the weed prior to practice till then. it'll only make it tougher. but after practice, make sure to make up for loss timing with the bong. |

Practice in the car with the stereo NOT blasting. I never knew how to sing sustainably until I had to scream and then actually sing notes - now my evil metal dude vox are a million times better for having to learn. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 18,2008 4:45pm - Dave_Maggot ""] sometimes i imagine myself with my pants off in front of a large crowd. and sometimes it actually happens. thank you alcohol. |
| __________________________________________________ [Sep 18,2008 8:38pm - DEATH FIEND sli sli sli ""] thanks doods tho i think i got my exercises and stuff down, im really just looking for ways to recover faster when i blow out my voice, and or not do it as much in the first place, without having to stop smoking weed |
