[Music] hey Chris Liepe here are the Distortion grit and screaming
techniques you're using sustainable and safe here's how to tell three [Music]
checks I have found another
way bur that GLE
[Applause]
yeah bur it it all the
way bur it it all
way check one when you get done singing with Distortion practicing Distortion singing a song
with lots of distortion are your lower abdominals tired this is not only the first check this one is
absolutely essential we need to make sure we're getting our energy from the right place if you
are not sure if you've practiced Distortion and you haven't gone through the process of
understanding where the intensity should be when you're regularly singing or when you're singing
with lots of distortion or grit or Screaming not only are the other two checks not going to work
but your Distortion techniques are absolutely not safe so dial in the correct sensation of support
clearly and efficiently so that you can do these other steps and be safe click the link below in
the video description or the first comment check two does your Distortion feel subtractive in terms
of volume if a I belt a note hey and then in order to add Distortion I have to get louder
[Music] y That's not sustainable you're not doing it right and you notice there's an
there's an uneasiness to it I'm going so hard on my primary cords that even after I did that
for just a little bit there I feel a little bit of horseness setting in we want to make
things subtractive in other words we want to make sure that we are experiencing the
sensation of holding back air even when we are creating heavy distortions so if I hold that
same note again hey highly belted I actually don't want to think belt I want to back off
on on air pressure initially and then I want to constrict upper constriction as high in the
throat as possible with that as I've talked about in other videos lifting something heavy
sensation this desk is heavy notice when I do that I raise the pitch but I'm there's actually
less air passing through my vocal tract there it's compressing I feel a greater intensity in
my abdominal muscles and I feel this sensation of cutting back air as high in my throat as possible
so if I belt that note and then back off a little bit and then think lifting something
heavy hey
yeah yeah there's actually a a easing into it it's not just hey hey now that's for a more
mild Distortion if I want a really broken up Distortion Like You Heard in the intro
I can do that same thing by backing off I can release into it instead of bulldo into it hey
hey hey that's brutal but it's also slightly quieter than hey so that's check two is your
Distortion subtractive in volume and check three and all of these things go together so hand in
hand and as you continue to feel out what you're doing and make observations about various places
that you experience different Sensations all three of these checks are going to be easier
to lean into and and follow is your Distortion additive in terms of sensation okay so we want
to be subtractive in terms of volume but additive in terms of sensation let's go back to our belted
note I'm just plowing into that going harder and harder on my primary chords and hope that things
break up not good when I do that as I increase in in volume and intensity my sensation Center
in my throat almost Narrows I sense it kind of closing in on itself in one particular area when
I am additive when I'm thinking additively in sensation I feel the connection with my
vocal tract lengthen in a way we're practicing that subtractive in volume adding compression
I feel the sensation being laid over the top of my primary phonation clean this has the
byproduct of compressing air but it also spreads out the way air is being trapped over a broader
area of my tract so if I feel out the points of Engagement from the back of my soft pallet you
[Music] know I'm kind of feeling out all the the different ways that I can
constrict air upper constricted cartilages and tissues all the
way down to my false cores which are right above my primary chords okay that feels a
little lower it's still higher than my primary chords but lower than say this
sensation so I want a broad engagement I want to add engagement upwards and feel
like things are spread out in my throat hey yeah
yeah as opposed
to you can you can practically hear me you can hear it in my in my voice in my talking
after just a little bit of that let me get a drink and then ah ah I don't have much of that
left in me but if I go the other direction and broaden the engagement think about it broadening
[Applause]
hey that one felt really
high Beautiful People yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm still talking fine after a more brutal sound
for more on developing your Distortion and screaming and all the different sounds I've
done plenty of videos on it be sure to check out the playlist I've linked to you here and again
