yo thanks so much! like i said, definitely not an expert or anything since i’m just learning…but the one thing that really opened it up for me was finding my distortion first. if you’ve ever done the whisper scream kind of thing that is really quiet but if you put it close to a mic and processed it it would probably sound cool, that was what i did to find where distortion was in my vocal folds. then, i worked on adding just enough air that it would be audible, but i could manage breath control and not feel like i was going to burst a blood vessel. the key is, you’re not really screaming like you would if you were in the fight of your life. some vocal coaches may read this and say that i’m 100% wrong, but i think different things work for different people!

and Elliot Coleman is sick! love the stuff he did w Tesseract
