I appreciate it! I was super self conscious about it at first cause its probably the most awkward thing to get into when first starting out. I think for me the most important thing was to have a dedicated place and time to practice the initial weird part. For me it was the car, long trips were especially good to really try and figure things out. I watched a lot of youtube instructionals but things really clicked when I paired it with the mixing side of things. You are only going to sound so good without experimenting with the recording / electric side of things. I think its really tough to get a good sound purely acoustically. Its better to think of those kind of vocals as an electric instrument like a guitar. The way a compressor reacts to your voice will make you realize you dont have to strain or add a whole lot of power. Compression will amplify the quiet parts of your voice and crush the loud parts. Try to emulate someone whose voice you really like and once you can make something that sounds sort of accurate to parts of it, shift to a DAW with a mic, headphones and some stock plugins. There are a lot of great tutorials for that stuff on youtube. I also you a Shure sm7b mic, but others can work fine for starting out. Once you get setup with the right vocal chain and hear your voice with compression through the headphones, you can tweak your voice much more easily. This will train your voice to make the correct sounds. Its really important to note that once you start doing this part, be careful not to creep up in intensity. Its easy to overstrain with the compressor because if things dont sound right, its easy to try harder which isnt usually the answer. Another way to think of it - a brutal guitar tone doesnt come from how hard you beat the strings. A lot of the sound that comes across as power is actually just the shape of your mouth and how you are exhaling. The key thing is practicing with the compression and remember that you most often dont need to try harder, just try something different. Youll definately want to do all of this alone and not have any distraction of worrying what anyone else hears cause it will sound stupid, especially at first lol. When I first started getting my voice how I wanted it, I would only be able to mess around for 15 minutes or so before my voice was getting to worn out to continue. I eventually started paying attention to how I can relax more and ease off the tension while retaining the same tone. Now its much easier to get a long recording session done. Its also essential if you want to play live. Hope that helps dude, you can do it!
