Heavy Metal Vocalist

What We Do

Although you may say that we are untalented because we scream, screaming vocals is harder than actually singing them. So, in essence, we are more talented. We scream the vocals into the microphone, which can damage our vocal chords

How To Prevent Vocal Chord Damage

How To Prevent Vocal Chord Damage

As a metal vocalist, we have to be careful. We can several damage our vocal area. So take these steps to prevent that.

  • Drink lukewarm water between songs when performing or recording, it soothes the throat.
  • Scream from your lungs, not your throat. The sound will be better, and it will prevent vocal damage (for the most part).
  • Warm up
  • Know your voice limitations
  • Remember- it will hurt at first

Who Handles Our Wages?

Who Handles Our Wages?

As you might expect, we're not going to just split the money between the members and run rampant on a party. No.

We have managers who handle our money, and invest it, do what they can best with it, and give us our shares.

My Observations

I didn't learn much about my career.

I honestly thought that singers made more money, like a couple million a year, but I don't honestly care about the money.

Yes, I do see myself doing this job in 15 years. It would take every bit of fifteen years to perfect the screaming, though, if not more.

Why I Want To Do This

I have been a metal fan since I was about six, getting into bands like Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, and Linkin Park early on, and then delving into heavier stuff like System of A Down, Mastodon, Slipknot, Slayer, KoRn, Meshuggah, Rammstein, Avenged Sevenfold and the band that inspired me to write my own music, and become a metal vocalist, Five Finger Death Punch.

Common College Majors

As stated before, you don't need any schooling past high school, but I will say this.

Once, in an iterview of Ivan L. Moody, born Ivan Lewis Greening, who is the lead vocalist of Five Finger Death Punch, said that he went to school to be a Pastor, before joining his first band, Motograter, becoming and agnostic.
