Can you slip in SCOTT WEILAND of Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver, and JOSH TODD of Buckcherry, and CHAD KROEGER of Nickelback? Please? They have great rock rasp.

Modern Hard Rock rasp is the greatest.

Any chance of doing some Johnny Gioeli or Tony Harnell. I'd love to hear some covers of those guys, especially Rain and Tell No Tales by TNT.

Once sang the chorus of Tell No Tales to Harnell over Skype. He's used to me hitting crazy high notes, lol;) All good singers guys, yes we will get to them all;)

My version of TNT ... http://www.box.net/shared/dmzd6q6bcc
Thankfully I've trained my voice since...although it's still fun to listen to.



Purchasing link still not working...

Dio? Udo?

Thanos, that's a great cover. Your voice sounds really full on the top notes. Can't wait till I can get them like that. I used to just about get those notes in a mixed voice type sound, but then I realised it wasn't proper full voice, now my range is at about High C/C#. If you have any more covers let me know I'd love to hear them.

I wanted to help spread the word so I made a thread about the program on the Modern Vocalist's site. Glad to see a couple of guys bought it! m/
I'll get it soon.

Thanx Stan.
Don't forget we are giving
20% off ($5.00) through Monday!

Discount code is

fb20

Thanks Throttle ! I don't have other clips with notes that high I'm afraid ... that was too much for me already lol! I've got some clips on the tmv forum under the username akarawd - most are old and suck though.

Jaime, it's a shame things turned out that way man, the vids would have been very helpful.

I missed the discount.. maybe next time.

Regards,
Thanos

Don't worry Thanos, I'll make sure you know ahead of time for upcoming discounts. Plus, I talked to my partner. We will be eventually releasing the videos as well. Believe it or not, we have a lot of this stuff finished, but will be releasing periodically. We have four years of recordings, just been holding it back;)

You're a real gent as always. Thanks Jaime.

Looking forward to the unreleased material,
Thanos

That's great, Jaime! Thanks for being open. Can't wait for the finish products!

Can you show how to do vocal grit like ALEX JONES, the conspiracy theory guy?

The link works but hold up. Anyone who is my facebook friend may get 20% off. They are trying to fix issues and if they can, we'll post tomorrow and give 20% through Monday;)

Hey Jaime, I just downloaded it, that's good stuff.

Have you filmed the entire "interview" ? I'd be very interested in seeing
what he does with his tongue and maybe have some slow motion exercises on vid of how to do it.

Just a thought.

Kind Regards,
Thanos

There's video and audio and pics, but it's out of my hands. We'll wait and see what happens in the future. Now, I did push Brian to teach many years ago and he does teach privately now. Might be able to convince him to start teaching on Skype too;)

Bought it last night on my iPhone in a break between sets on gig. Downloaded after the gig and read/whatched/listened today. Even tried a few silent screams in my hotel room, but I'm afraid to scare the neighbours! They might think I'm having weird animals with me....

But I got results right away and already nailed some of the sounds. Will be screaming all the way home in my 3 hour car trip home tomorrow.

Nice material!

I bought it a few days back, and I'm not really sure what I think about it yet.

It wasn't really what I had in mind actually. I had this idea that it would be really thorough and kind of build from the basics, but it seems to me that you're expected to already, to some extent, be able to master these sounds when your'e starting out.

And for me, it isn't really working out, since I've never sung this kind of style before, I don't even know where to begin.

Don't get me wrong, there are some great tips and information in there, but I feel like I can't use that information since I don't even know how to make a proper, basic low-growl sound.

But I guess I'll have to work that one out in some other way, and maybe be able to use Exteme Scream in the future.

Anton,

Don't sweat it man, it is thorough and it is all there.Screaming doesn't get any simpler;) But it will take a bit of time and practice to get each scream. They won't happen immediately. You might just be over-thinking it; hey I did the same thing years ago...and I REALLY struggled! if I would've had this one volume, I would've attacked it like an animal and had my screams in a week;) People seem to think that screaming is this unreachable thing, but if you just listen to the program a few times and take your time playing with the sounds, you will find it;)

PS- If I were you Anton, I'd play around with mastering the Chewbacca and doing the fry sound so that it bounces off the roof of your mouth. Once you can do the both easily, then you can begin adding more grit. The reason I push the palate sensation on every thing I teach, from low-high, clean-gritty, is because you will always save your voice if you feel it in the palate;) Then you can begin adding the grit more and more, adding this vocal effect to your bag of tricks;) Rock on, I KNOW you will get it Anton!!! :)

Hey Jaime,

Its awesome to hear you're doing a program like this...I saw your request for other singers to cover...would you be able to add some thrash metal singers too? like James Hetfield (Metallica), Tom Araya (Slayer) and Chuck Billy (Testament).

Looking forward to seeing more of your material :)

some of my favorite singers that have done killer screams include layne staley, john lennon, paul mccartney,stephen tyler, chris cornell.

Will volume I cover screams in the style of Messhuga, Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, etc? Also what styles does volume II cover?

Go to screaminglessons.com to learn about Volume I. There will actually be LOTS of volumes, several this year;)

I don't get how to distort my voice in the "aggravated way" it always hurt and I can't feel it in the roof of my mouth.

Practice and patience. You must learn to adjust the breath.

Just bought my copy!! I'm working on getting my voice back into shape so grit is the last thing on my list. I will listen to it and will promote it whenever I can.

Hey John, haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope you are doing well:)

I am now; I 'm rid of certain people in my life that were no good for me. I've been wanting to post more often but since my voice has deteriorated so much, I felt like a hypocrite and never did. You might see some youtube videos of me in a few months. A friend(wicked guitarist) and I are going to (for fun) do some Iron Maiden covers.

I need to find a camera that can handle high notes. All the ones I've come across are too weak. I just overwhelm the mic and it sounds terrible.

If anyone has a suggestion on a good camera with a good mic (and small price ), it would appreciated.

John I honestly think you should be posting more, don't suppress yourself :) I have read every post here, CVT forum and TMV forums (on my summer holiday...) and I recall you have written good stuff here.

John, the Blue eyeball webcam isn't bad. Or the Mikey for the iPhone, which will allow you to record video too I believe.

Hey Jaime, if you could throw in a Richie Kotzen grit lesson, that would be genius! If you don't know him, here-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAW-C9XV894. He's an insanely talented singer. Go to 0:40 for when he starts to use grit, thanks!

Will you cover some Chester Bennington and Anders Friden screams in the next lessons?
I'm trying to figure out how they do it and ryv and extrem screaming lessons 1 helped me a lot, just miss some more tips to nail it.
Thank you for all the energy you put in your lessons Jaime!

I will suppose I will not be able to do it until i have my breathing down I guess..
