Voice audio samples!

Merkaba · 09-01-2004, 12:59 AM

hehe, that was to get your attention.

so i got my mic back. and i was wanting to see if any of you are interested in hearing any of the stuff i talk about, like gliss, falsetto, scrape, etc. And dont go throwing a bunch of "do what jason oreantasi does in the song Shooting Blanks in My Hand...that scream that he does at the end" cause i aint gonna know it! I will post a few clips of my favorites, maybe some cornell, some apc, deftones, mudvayne. but since i live in an apartment i cant just be screaming a bunch, at least i'd rather not. So If any of you want anything or something you might not understand, post it. and i'll make a list. I will certain do some rasp because sometimes hearing it done in the raw helps you hear what you need to do. when you hear stuff all the time from studio recordings, its different than hearing it "live". I actually made a big stride by hearing mudvayne live and realizing how he was doing what he was doing just by hearing him have to pronounce it more since its live.
anyways, let me know. im out.

yea man, that would be super rad an it would help alot of people out....including me

j0s1ah · 09-01-2004, 05:44 AM

can't wait to hear some stuff. btw, what kind of mic do u have?

Danielhm1 · 09-01-2004, 05:55 AM

Merkaba-1, i was wondering if you can post some of your screams up. i have been singin for almost a yr now, and love it. I can inhale scream real good, but only just starting to get the exhale ones (falsetto / whisper). I can do the Come Push the Sun Aside part in my own summer - deftones. id you have msn please add me, [email]danielhm1@hotmail.com[/email]

Merkaba · 09-02-2004, 05:04 AM

"I think god is moving, its tongue..."

well i dont inhale scream. for my own reasons. if you want, then be careful is all i can say.

I'm sure i'll put a couple of deftones type deals up.

Levitate · 09-03-2004, 11:17 PM

hope to hear your stuff...I appreciate all the good advice as others do ...rock on!

Danielhm1 · 09-04-2004, 07:29 AM

Merkaba-1, i find that inhale screams do least too me.... i guess its because ive been doing them for ages, but it doesnt have any effect too my singing voice... i want to master the exhaling screams like chino though... i have a pretty good strong falsetto voice, and when we get our demo cd back i will post them up. I just need a bit of help with the exhale screaming... i just need to know the right procedure and perhaps hearing the transition from singing to screaming might help. Please add me if you have msn. Thanks

Merkaba · 09-04-2004, 03:53 PM

the thing about chino/mudvayne/linkin park screams, you just cant push as hard as i think alot of people think. i mean you can, and keep doing it, but you wont be able to do it for long. but the mic should be your friend. plus you have to find that point where your cords activate with the tone you want. you have to play around with that first. too much or too little air pressure and you lose it.

i was just playing around with my mic and did an inner scream that i think is pretty fukin wicked, i guess. I'm not an inner scream guy, its just not in my genre, though you could really get someones attention with it. perhaps for me it would be in some slow spacey song. for effect. not something i would do alot of.

But i will hopefully have some samples up maybe later tonight. i have to go to work though. We'll see. anyways, hopefully you can hear the transition and figure it out! chow

here is the link to some samples and a bit of an instruction i guess. I hope it can help. If anyone wants anything else let me know!

Winter-seed...AKA b&h · 09-06-2004, 12:36 AM

dude your falsetto scream is awsome.
I can scream but wen i scream in falsetto i cant get rasp for some reason........it sucks

UsefulIdi0t · 09-06-2004, 02:51 AM

you should do some falsetto screams with words so we can here it a little better. other than that they are awesome

Merkaba · 09-06-2004, 04:09 AM

yea i thought about that after i did it. i was kinda in a hurry to put something up cause my work schedule is hectic this week. hmmm. I'll try to think up some good falsetto passes to put up. i know soundgarden will give me some ideas... already got some. Limo Wreck.....

funny, i havent written much of my own stuff with alot of falsetto.

yea, if anyone else has any other "requests" let me know.

keep working. its more about the gut really. I just came up with another thing to listen to to kinda get a feel for it. if i can remember it later i'll put it up.

edit:
ok, i just recorded it, but the upload thing for the site is down for maintenance, so check back to see if i have it up. should be something like falsetto lesson 1.

Merkaba · 09-06-2004, 04:22 AM

by the way Jos1ah, i use a SureSM58, couldve sworn i put that up but i guess i didnt.

Winter-seed...AKA b&h · 09-06-2004, 07:34 AM

oh markaba man, ur a legend.
That stuff helped so much already. Im already starting to get a feel for how the scream should be.
Thanks alot for that

Danielhm1 · 09-06-2004, 07:46 AM

Hey, great work on those audio samples, it inspired me to do a quick demo of a new song im testing with the band, i do an inhaled scream in here, im still working on the exhaling ones.
The recording is real dodgy and just done DI guitar and my shure sm58 into my laptop

my band can be found at www.boxplot.tk
let me know of opinions.... if anyone is looking at help with inhaled screams, let me know.... Mereka-1 awsome screaming man

Levitate · 09-06-2004, 09:48 AM

lol...South Carolina

I meant to put up a disclaimer, forbidding you all from making any fun at any southern drawls, slants, rolls and or accent i have. hehe. but it was late. I've noticed that depending on my mood and the emotion, i get really gutty so to speak, or im high pitched other times. I never really thought i had a low voice. maybe because of the mood. who knows. Many people say i sound like i girl when i pick up the phone somtimes, I'm just all over the place i guess.
