If you have access to a piano, find the lowest note you can sing. Play it four times staccato-style and sing the same note simultaneously and move to the next one and do the same thing. When you can't go any higher, stop, and start from the beginning. Do this for a few weeks, 5min everyday and you'll be able to go a bit higher. Maybe. What do I know anyway…

I'll cup the mike if I fucking want to.

Okay, I was going to wait to make a better post when I wasn't busy and drunk, but this is a terrible idea. Straining you're vocal chords to find the lowest note, especially when you don't have any training, is an awful idea.

First things first, do you have any musical experience? Do you know any theory?

Try doing a "C" scale, the first scale in the embedded video, and then just try to follow the notes as they progress upwards. If you want any pointers and have a mic, record yourself doing it on vocaroo. I'll try to find your range.

I would look on youtube for some generic "learn to sing" video first. Besides that, just try to match pitch (i.e. sound the same) with the melody in the songs you are listening to throughout the day. After you do this for a day to a week, try to start hitting pitches on the virtual keyboard (http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/music/piano/), and then try to hit different intervals on the virtual keyboard (i.e. from a C to a G, a perfect fifth) or here (http://www.musictheory.net/calculators/interval). I would also try to sing along with and try to do the ear training exercises here (http://www.musictheory.net/exercises; this is pretty advanced for a beginner, but would be worth it if you're trying to pick apart melodies or chords).

>linking to this unfunny fatso

You never surprise me.

>>4153

It didn't seem to me like he was even trying to be funny at any point in the video. And if that guy looks fat to you then you must live in fucking Zambia.

>tripfagging

please don't bring that level of cancer here

>>4155

If that guy doesn't look fat to you then you're probably from Mississippi.

If you want to do (good) death/thrash/black vocals, you should do this.

1.Sing clean, you will sound like shit but don't give a fuck (RHCP WILL HELP) sing californication and shit.

2. Sing louder and push your voice more, (this might hurt, hedonism will help)

3. try emulating your favorite singers and lose all fantasies of having perfect technique

4. remember attitude is everything, grow ball s you motherfucker faggit

5. BLACK 'N ROLL ,LISTEN TO MIDNIGHT AND TRY TO DOT THAT.

6(66).fuck i'm drunk, get a band together and do what the fuck you want to do, everoyne (including yourself will love it). Most importlantly, don't release anything that has a shitty commercial plastic sound. (be original enough, pls.)

Try to learn guitar or bass, will help with your note-ear.

Almost forgot the most important part, listen to all the singers you like and do what they do, the pain will go away if you do it enough, fuck all these snobs with perfect singing, except Iron Maiden. Drunken teenage faggot with a band signing off.

>>4153

He's a fat tryhard fuckhole but he knows his shit. He explains it in a really easy to understand way that tells you exactly why cupping the mike is cancer.

>>4156

I've been here since the beginning. If you haven't gotten used to my tripfaggery then you're probably just a whiny little retard.

>>4155

Idk, I mean he's definitely fat but he's not some like landwhale. And I'm kind of caught on the humor too. It's not actually bad jokes, his delivery is just awful, though.

Agyl from Scald (RIP, sweet prince) learned to sing while working on a crane. Why don't you try doing that, slugger?

Does anyone have any tips on how to get the really raspy vocals like Jeff Walker?

Smoke weed everyday.
