@wolfstudiosnyc: Want to add rasp, grit, and vocal distortion to your singing without simply screaming or straining your voice? Controlled distortion is a skill that can be trained, but it starts with coordination—not force. In this tutorial, Kurt channels @nineinchnails and walks you through three steps for exploring rasp: using naturalisms, adding pharyngeal twang, and introducing gentle constriction before combining them into a simple exercise. The goal is to develop a controlled distorted vocal sound while keeping the volume low and avoiding unnecessary throat tension. If you experience pain, burning, increasing hoarseness, loss of range, or increased vocal effort, stop and give your voice time to recover. These techniques can be especially useful for singers working with rock, alternative, metal, pop, and other styles that use rasp and grit as part of the vocal sound. 🐺 Looking for more distortion guidance?
