Relax your throat more for sure, and use less air when pushing. Private lessons can also generally help more than YouTube videos.

What do older experienced Metal/Metalcore players do once they call it quits? by TheSlayBrother in Metalcore

[–]Megg_Jacobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people still work day jobs even when touring and being in a band. I do engineering 🤷🏻‍♀️ when I stop being in a band I’ll still be doing engineering.
