To be honest I self-taught most of what I can do, so maybe the advice I'll give you doesn't work as well for you. Also, I don't know how much you know about vocal technique, so maybe I'll be giving you pretty basic advice and it's something you already know, but nevertheless, here it goes. Basically, I started imitating Zack de la Rocha at first. When Zack does high notes he uses his full-on head voice, similarly to Rob Halford in Painkiller, for example. Bruce's voice comes from lower in your throat, it doesn't fully come from the chest, it's still head voice but not completely up there. Notice that head voice and falsetto are different. I couldn't do Bruce's voice right away, and here's probably the best advice I can give you; if you try to sing something higher than A#4 and it doesn't come out cleanly at a normal volume, sing it quieter and don't force it, and try to get it louder over time. Focus on it sounding consistent and clean first, then on sounding louder. Hope this helps!

​@@_metal_rafa_ I have searched day in day out, hours of video footage, I saw hundreds of videos, podcasts, everything, so I sorta do know what you mean. I did notice that my head voice could be pretty bright and loud, but it lacks the lower end, the beefiness, and taking the volume down for some reason makes it more coherent. And I did notice that it improves. Right now my head and chest IS connected, but in a very thin way (not breathy, might I add). It's still loud and has that bright ping, but it's whiney, and I still wouldn't sing like this, but this will improve with time you say? Also, thank you for the response, your message is very clear! ​

It will definitely improve with practice. At the end of the day you're working out some muscles and they get stronger as you exercise. Give it some time, practice some songs that you find are just a bit out of your range and you'll see how it gets easier and easier, then keep going up, rinse and repeat. Cheers and Metal! 🤘

@@_metal_rafa_ Thank you so much for the advice! I will definitely follow it!

Thanks a lot! I'm not a singing teacher by any means, but I can relay some of what I learned from mine. There are different kinds of distortions and each one has its own technique, but all of them have a couple of things in common. First of all, I think it goes without saying that if you feel your throat itchy or it starts to feel sore, that's not good at all and you can damage yourself if you keep going. That said, I'd say the two keys to get good distortions would be: First, relax. Tensing up is only going to tire you down and it won't even sound that great, and you risk having to get throat surgery in the future. Relaxing also allows you to have more control, and with more control you can do more things with your voice, not just blurt out a scream and that's it. Second, don't ever try to sound loud. I know, it's ironic as hell, and I was blown away when my teacher taught me that, but if you think about it, it doesn't really matter that much if your distortions sound quieter, because you will be singing through a microphone anyway, and there you have all the amplification that you need. Many singers even use distortion pedals to make the effect more powerful. You should focus more on it sounding good and not hurting or feeling uncomfortable at all, even if it comes out quieter. With enough practice you'll most likely sound louder over time and meanwhile you can just support yourself on the microphone, because that's what it's there for. I hope this helps. You can find videos in RUclips from guys like Ken Tamplin or Chris Liepe about approaches to different kinds of distortions. For Hetfield's gritty voice, at least for me, the approach would be like imitating the sound of a dry heave and dialing it down to where your voice is still a bit clean.

Why not? People have accents.

Nah, those kinds of shows are very fake IMHO. Right now I’m very happy with how things are going with @metalized_band.

@@_metal_rafa_ Ok, will follow THAT channel. Amazing voice. Cheers

Thanks a lot! We're working on it, one gig at a time: ruclips.net/video/Te5g8tLsMbE/видео.html 🤘😎
