      Agreed. If every song I heard had it, I’d grow tired of it, but that’s not been the case for a long time (if ever).

    Huh. I called it “singing through your teeth”. That’s how I karaoke 90s songs! Had no idea there was was a word for it.

      I’d say stop doing it, but since it’s karaoke it’s almost like you have to do it.

    I watched the video and still don’t understand why she wants / wanted to get rid of yarling. She makes points but it’s just a different sound overall rather than a “worse” sound IMO. It makes the bands she references feel iconic and unique.

      Because it kills the resonance and shrinks the sound. She explains the reasons with examples and everything.

        Yeah she did say that but still it’s just different, not bad. I don’t understand why it would be bad. Lots of artists have unique differences and I appreciate that

          Grifting Youtuber vs Eddie Vedder 😏 I think I know which one I prefer. This is yet another slight on the working class bands of the 80s and 90s. What’s next, no more growls in death metal? Everyone has their schtick.

          Fucking youtube grifters…

    A buddy of mine called it emphysema rock back in the day and that term has stuck with me through the years.

    ‘Don’t do that thing that these several clearly successful musicians do because it’ll make you sound weird.’

    I wonder why some people seem to change their voices when they sing

      I’d assume its to achieve a certain style that they the singer find pleasing or complementary to the rest of the bands signature sound.

        My favorite band with the most distinctive vocal sound is The Blood Brothers… They stopped the band very young and it makes total sense why—you can’t vocalize like that for too long without completely frying your voices.

      There’s a lot of necessity there. Our natural speaking voices use the throat and lungs in a different way than any singing techniques. And, there’s multiple ways of using them to get a desired sound.

      So there’s some degree of style involved, but past a certain point you have to change your voice to sing rather than just speak in tune (which is still a valid thing of its own)

      Fashion. British acts go through eras of sounding American, then sounding as British as possible, then American again.

      The style of Kurt Cobain doesn’t resemble Chris Cornells (and vice versa) at all though.

        The charismatic voice is working with the university of Alabama(I think it was) to understand metal and Rock singers vocal techniques. Chris Cornell has come up many times in those videos

        She has done a lot of videos on them and, as professionally trained opera singer and vocal coach, is very much a fan of what that end of the vocal pool has done

        Worth checking out some of her videos. Certainly better than whoever the hell this idiot is

      Cornell fries his vocals(lightly) to reach high notes.

      Cobain fries his vocals because he can’t sing.

      edit: ok, fine, cool off, I apologize. I didn’t mention that Cornell uses a decent amount of falsetto, and exceedingly well, I might add. Best singer of the 90’s for rock was Layne Staley, followed closely by Scott Weiland.

      Still tho, love Cornell. Not even joking tho, Cobain works fine in a high intensity band and probably would’ve done great at hardcore. I just find him kinda forced on slow tracks.

      Worst? Henry Rollins. Henry Rollins himself will tell you he can’t sing and has on camera.

    I absolutely hate the thing Eddie Vedder does and it was kind of a rift with my housemates at uni, who were too unsophisticated to understand The Jesus & Mary Chain like me. If everything is so emotionally intense that you might just die at any moment, then nothing is.

    He was good on Twin Peaks The Return though.
