The first 2 screams are mainly fry. The 3rd was kinda false cord heavy. I slipped up becuase Im not used to screaming like that. I isolated my fry as much as I can without hurting myself. You hear how most of it is my actual voice, being distorted. (I know its weak, i dont use low fry) It sounds clicky ya know?
By the way, fry screaming isnt only in head voice. You can do it in your chest voice, this might be the problem
The second 3 are done with nearly entirly false cord distortion. Most of the distortion comes from supraglottic drives, which is why the voice sounds smooth, round, stronger
The last 3 are fairly mixed. You can clearly hear there is distortion "in" and "around" my voice. Its completely possibe to mix them
Sorry if the quality sucks, I dont have a mic, just my phone. Let me know any other questions or concerns.
Heres all I could think of to help you (Possible headphone warning. Theres a scream in the beginning so you know I kow what Im talking about, not just a random kid on the internet)
This is some of my false chord. I'm currently in a band, however i could definitely do vocals for you. See if you like it or not.
Shure SM7B. That's pretty much the best mic for anything. The cost is $399 (just the mic). You'll have to spend a little more if you want a stand as well.
Here's a listing from Amazon
I tried playing around with it, but I just can't figure it out.
By chesty, do you mean by where I feel resonance? I can feel resonance in my chest singing in my chest voice but I can't seem to figure out how to get any there with screams. My throat feels really relaxed already, honestly it almost feels the same as singing. Like I said, I tried playing around with things but it's just not clicking. I swear I've watched/listened to every false cord tutorial I can find. I can make the noises just fine up until the actual scream where it all seems to fall apart.
Edit: attempted the angry sigh method again, just kinda frustrating
Just here to more or less confirm what has been said. You need a decent mic to record your voice, a USB audio interface to connect it to your laptop and a DAW (digital audio workstation) to record and add effects to your vocals.
There are dynamic and condenser microphones. Two of the best and most widely used dynamic vocal mics are the Shure SM58 and the Shure SM7B. For condensers you should check out the Audio-Technica AT2035 and the Rode NT1-A. In general, dynamic mics are used for live performances and condensers for recording in the studio, but there are bands who use dynamic mics in the studio anyway. As a beginner I would go with the SM58. It's a great mic, durable, versatile, cheap, comes with a built-in pop filter and picks up less noise and echoes. If you want to spend a little more, you should check out the AT2035. It's a little bit more pricey than the SM58, but a great mic for the price.
For a great interface check out the Focusrite Scarlett series. Even the most basic version (Solo) lets you plug in a mic and a guitar/bass.
The best DAW for a beginner should be Reaper. It's cheap and comes with a lot of features and effects. If you just want to do simple recordings of your voice, you can go with something like Audacity at first. Keep in mind that your recordings will sound a lot different than what you hear on a record. Normally you want a very dry recording of your voice (no echoes, background noises etc.) and add the effects in your DAW. The vocals you hear on a record are processed with effects like EQ, compression, reverb etc. and sometimes layered (multiple vocal tracks on top of each other).
Edit: Corrected and updated the mic recommendations.
I see people all the time recording without a mic stand on purpose. Do whatever you want man. I got a cheap 15 dollar mic stand on Amazon with a phone/tablet holder and it’s pretty awesome though Microphone Stand Portable Mic Stand with Phone Holder,Detachable Gooseneck Mic Tripod - Adjusted Height From 3 to 6 Feet - with 2 Standard Mic Clips https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08ZMZ4JMJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NQKKMG7QZ0BD7658YKYA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The software is Logic Pro X, and the hardware is a Neewer microphone with a basic phantom power unit. The mic and assembly can be found here
For production in Logic Pro I’m just using a default EQ configuration with some extra compression and reverb
This is my equipment:
And Mixbus from http://harrisonconsoles.com/site/mixbus.html
I am not sponsering Mixbus, I really like their software, expect some freezing and crashing it is based of an open-soruce software called Ardour. But for the price it is not bad, and it rarely freezes just when loading Kervoee for me. But you aren't going to use autotune.
The SM57 is army swiss it is good for everything. Buy a pop filter, and avoid cupping the mic, god forbid every time I see a live show with a screamer cupping the mic, but I know you don't do that.
That is what I use for my covers, I am going to post a cover soon here showcasing my mixing skills using mixbus. If you know how to operate a basic DAW mixbus is enough. If you don't want to spend anything, and are stuck with Windows, Audacity, it is shit but it does the job for basic multi-track recording. Don't expect making real time changes.
So the price total is $99 + $79 = 178 USD.
To prerecord songs I use a blue yeti, but to record live covers I use an sm58. Sm58 is good as long as you can afford a preamp to hook up to your pc. But I'd recommend a blue yeti to start out though. I've had mine for 3+ years and it's great.
