Without it, it’ll never feel good!
I tired and tried and tried to sing with distortion for so long and it would never feel good…
It felt scratchy in my throat and sometimes I would even have to start coughing from it!
Every so often I would get lucky and it came out great!
But as singers we can’t rely on luck…
So I sought out a vocal coach to help me with distortion.
Quickly we realized that my issue wasn’t distortion, it was what was happening underneath the distortion!
There was too much compression and heavy lifting happening, which is what made me blow out my voice so quickly all the time!
So we put distortion on the back burner and focused on developing a solid mix voice instead.
A year later I tried singing with distortion again and to my surprise…
I could just do it!
I didn’t even have to try - it just happened!
So if you’ve been trying to sing with distortion for a long time and you’re struggling to get it, maybe there’s something else going on that needs to be addressed first.
If you’d like to get some help with figuring out what’s going on, book an intro session with me now so that we can create a customized plan for your vocal growth!
