Vocal distortion might sound intense—but done correctly, it’s not about screaming or wrecking your voice. It's about adding texture, edge, and emotion *safely*.

I sat down with Coach Emily to break down what distortion actually is (and what it isn’t). This isn't a guide for death metal vocals—but it’s perfect if you're a pop, rock, musical theatre, or singer-songwriter looking to explore **controlled vocal grit**. From safe onset strategies to distortion-adjacent vocal colors, you'll learn how to explore distortion without risking your vocal health.

Whether you're trying to add emotional grit or just a bit of growl, this intro will help you approach distortion with curiosity—and control.
