How To Do A Death Metal Growl.

So You Want To Be A Singer In A Band But You Can't Hit The High Notes Like Myself, Theres Another Option! It's Called Vokills, Or Growl Singing.
Mainly Used In Death Metal, But Also Used In Many Other Sub-Genres Of Metal, The Growl Is Without A Doubt, A Great Vocal Method. In Order To Have A Decent Growl You Will Need Practice, And Lots Of It Too. I'm Going To Try To Help You All Get On Your Way.

1. You May Lose Your Voice During Practicing, Don't Worry Though, It'll Come Back In A Few Minutes/Hours. Drink Lukewarm Water Or Milk With A Teaspoon Of Honey In It To Sooth Any Pain, You Should Also Drink Milk/Honey/Tea Before Practicing To Strengthen Your Vocal Cords To Avoid Tearing Them.
2. DO NOT, Growl From Your Throat. This Will Cause Pain And Will Not Sound Good At All. Every Decent Growl Comes From The Stomach.
3. This May Sound Lame, But For Your First Growls Say "Rawr" And Constrict Your Throat Little By Little To Avoid Any Strain. If It Starts To Hurt, You're Not Doing It Right.
4. For Normal Growls, Just Move Your Mouth Normally, For Deeper Growls, Have Your Mouth In An O Shape, For Higher Growls, Have Your Mouth In A "See My Teeth" Smile Position.
5. Practice Using Songs You Know, First Start Of With A Slower Song, Such As Ironman By Black Sabbath, Then Gradually Get Faster. My Favorite Songs To Practice With Are, TNT-AcDc, Kickstart My Heart-Motley Crue, Angel of Death-Slayer, And Yankee Rose-David Lee Roth.
6. Do Not Focus On Volume Of Your Growl Because You Will Almost Always Have A Microphone And Amplifier, Focus On Quality!
7. Refrain From Smoking And Drinking Due To The Fact They Will Decrease Your Lung Capacity, Growling Takes A lot Of Air.
8. Your Growl Won't Be Stage Worthy The First Day, But It Will Be One Day, So Never Give Up And Keep Practicing And You May Sound Like This One Day On Stage.

Good Luck All, This Is My First Guide So CC Would Be Appreciated

You may want to add on HOW to do it.
And don't growls come from the diaphram?

Good guide though, I guess.

 

Thanks,
I'll Add That When I'm Feeling Better, Sick FTL.
And The Initial Growl Comes From The Stomach.
The Diaphragm Is Used For Sustaining The Growl.

 

Your grammar is very bad, and how come every word starts with a capitol letter? Pictures would be a nice include to this. I'd like to see this guide be successful because I really want to learn how to do this.

 

I agree with your comment about his grammar.

Adding pics to make it look interesting will help the reader and make him interested...

Just a help
