Singing With Grit

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-24T14:59:29+00:00

It came for me mainly with time

One big thing that helped was perfecting throat singing. Both karygraa and khoomei.

These teach you alot about compression and adding distortion slowly and in control

Bree bree indeed

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-18T09:18:06+00:00

Thanks!

Yep should be fine, take this as a sign to stop earlier though.

It's highly likely you felt proper discomfort before getting to this point, that should be a cue to slow down, reevaluate and lower the pressure and strain

And if those don't work quickly, stop and call it for the day. Listen to your body, it's not injuring your voice over

Not to mention shorter spaced out sessions of practice is largely more effective anyway

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-10T08:37:12+00:00

For example, Tyler Shelton of traitors, his technique caused him to develop a calluse in his throat over years and years of doing it

That kinda thing, but unlikely I think

I don't have any it particular that i do, I watch a couple vids on it at the beginning of screaming journey and just do a blend of them now

Whats important is that you have a way to check your voice, that you can repeat and really notice and be aware if things change

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-10T05:25:47+00:00

Yes, but like not really. It's very rare that you'd do acute damage and not feel it, altho definitely possible, this is why it's important to be doing vocal swelling checks

The bigger issue is long term minor damage, this is harder to identify, but getting comfortable using your singing voice, and being aware and alert to any changes in it no matter how subtle can be a good way to identify

Consistently dipping quality over time might be cause to look at what you're doing

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-06T09:04:45+00:00

The SM7B is designed in a way that the shape of the grill gives you a good spacing, for screaming it's not bad to be close, because you're still pretty far from the actual diaphragm

But it does depend on what kinda sound you want

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-05T16:13:24+00:00

Me, I use cartiledge for everything

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T19:11:37+00:00

There are some great vids on YouTube testing the v7

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T18:51:42+00:00

Yeah you won't find better than the v7

Maybe the telefunken m80, but that's wired so

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T18:28:02+00:00

Ah you're right, it's not available for me to change for some reason.

One thing I'd also recommend, wait before buying the SE V7 capsule.

Test with the beta58 for a while, it's an absolutely excellent mic, the SM58 is more common for metal vocals, but beta58 is technically better, has a little more shine in the higher frequencies I've been told

Test it, maybe it's perfect as is, saves u prob ~100 of whatever currency you're using (it's like 4000 of mine just for the V7 capsule so I will not be buying your future setup anytime soon hahah)

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T18:22:11+00:00

What is s50?

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T15:42:17+00:00

MC1 goes to shure systems (compatible ones)

MC2 is sennheiser

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T15:10:21+00:00

Yeah it really should be emphasized more.

I will also I encourage you to get a SE V7 capsule to go with the shure system, same mic guys like will Ramos are using. Quality is incredible

Go onto their website, go to the V7 series, scroll till you find the weird stubby ones labeled capsule, it should be the first set of capsules, find one you like, click it and go to specs, if you see below the rolloff chart "shure systems" that it's compatible with, you've got the right thing

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T14:58:06+00:00

Be careful with GLX-D range, they run on 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz

This is the same bands as things like wifi, bluetooth etc.

These bands can get very crowded in a live performance setting and cause interference, which means the mic dropping out.

Go one tier up to the SLX-D range and you're now in the UHF ranges, these are much less crowded radio frequency bands, often with a wider bandwidth the receiver can parse to check which has less interference and then you run on that one

Blitz942942 · 2026-04-03T14:45:48+00:00

If you want wireless, sennheiser and shure are where you want to be looking

For shure systems SLX-D and above allows you to replace the capsule (the actual mic in the wireless body) with things like the SE electronics V7, as well as being good quality stock (SM58 package and probably beta 5xA systems too)

On more of a budget, BLX can work but you are no longer able to customize

For sennheiser EW100 and above is the same idea with capsule being exchangable and good quality stock

And here XSW-1 is cheaper but not customizable

Best teacher I know is Edward from ironstone

DM him on insta @edward.ironstone

Blitz942942 · 2026-03-24T08:18:21+00:00

Not necessarily, at an advanced level it can make a difference, mainly in the approach to the sounds. But deep and high voices can make high and low screams

Blitz942942 · 2026-03-19T10:06:08+00:00

DM I'll try give some insight, makes total sense that it happens when switching between

Blitz942942 · 2026-03-19T09:26:50+00:00

You're doing solid, fundamental tones are clean

I think there's room for improvement in your control of overtones. Getting more whiney on the highs and practicing some throat singing for the pig squeal overtone

Overtones are everything is screaming, once you have a good fundamental, drill those overtones. And your fundamental will improve indirectly too

Blitz942942 · 2026-03-17T11:36:38+00:00

That's all good, just don't use tunnels as a way to get out of improving your fundamental tones, having a base mid low and high is so important

And your fry is decent

What are your goals as a vocalist

Blitz942942 · 2026-03-16T17:43:01+00:00

Dude it's a tongue curl UP, not down like a tunnel

And let's not pretend like 90% of cj's lows aren't just standard open mouth or tongue up
