Welcome to the #ScreamSmart Voice Training!
Singers of Pop, Soul, Blues, Rock and Metal Genres, Vocal Coaches and Voice Teachers, Voice Therapists, Actors, Voice Artists,...
RATTLE, FRY SCREAMS, GROWLS, RASP,... ?
Vocal-Effects are neither a new fancy trend nor are they unnatural to the human voice.
The Terminology used to describe what we hear - or feel when producing those effects - adds to the confusion for singers, songwriters, voice performers, producers and even voice scientists.
So, instead of assigning Vocal Effects to Rock and Metal genres exclusively,
many other musical genres and singing styles benefit considerably from adding variations to a clean voice :P!NK without her rasp or Lady Gaga without her compressed and edgy notes?
What is the story you want to tell with your songs?emotions with authenticity ?
VOICE SCIENCE meets PEDAGOGY & DIDACTICS
You are a Singing Teacher or Vocal Coach ? Awesome!
You may have noticed the limitations of the method you are trained in and explored new ways by yourself or within the voice teacher community but still feel insecure adding Vocal Effects and other stylistic elements to your voice teaching repertoire - That's totally okay!

Common misconceptions and cognitive biases
