In this video you will learn how to sing with Rasp and Distortion The SAFE way. If you have wanted to learn how to sing with a raspy voice, this video will help you learn how to sing with rasp safely without damaging your voice. You can apply this technique to any raspy singer, but I've used Bryan Adams' Summer of '69 as an example because Bryan has such a lovely naturally raspy voice.

About Me:
I am a professional singer with 30+ years of experience living in Dublin (originally from Ohio) and singing regularly in cover bands throughout Ireland. Over my career, I’ve sang in bands such as “The Runaways” (not the Joan Jett band, we were only 15 at the time and hadn’t heard of her band - this was before the internet!), and “White Knights” - both of those bands in Ohio before I moved to Los Angeles and formed an original band called Mood Trip, which was fairly successful in the mid-late 90’s producing our own music (listen here: www.moodtrip.co...) and playing the sunset strip regularly (Whiskey, Roxy, Coconut Teazer), but eventually I married an Irish girl and moved to Ireland where I have sang with cover bands such as The Glitter Bugs, The Usual Suspects, Spring Break, and Masquerade. I have also recently started teaching vocal tutorials at BIMM Dublin as well as singing in cover bands regularly for a living now (scrapping the day job and focusing only on music since 2018). I have been lucky enough in my career to support Cher in Belfast SSE Arena 2019, and sing U2’s “Vertigo” with U2’s very own drummer Larry Mullen on the kit in 2016.
Why listen to me?:
I didn’t start a good singer so I’ve learned a LOT over the years and I want to pass that learning on to YOU now.
I’ve made a TON of mistakes on the way and damaged my voice at times in the process of learning the right way to sing (via the WRONG way!) - with that, I can save you damaging your voice through bad techniques
I’m DOING it on a regular basis - performing is how I make my living so I am WALKING THE TALK OR TALKING THE WALK (whatever the phrase is)…
I CARE about YOU and serving you the best I can….why should I care? It’s my Dharma (life goal/path) to sing (perform for people) and help others who are learning to sing and perform, to help anyone who wants to get better…with that, THANK YOU for watching!!!

I have an exam tomorrow and I suddenly wanted to learn how to do this.
🤣 I used to get the urge to clean my room instead of study! 😂 this video will stay up, so get focused and back to study! 😂 good luck in your exam! 🍀
@@Mcke16120 hehe u ain't alone buddy 🤣
@@Mcke16120 exactly me right now
@@Mcke16120 aye I stayed home from school tdy and decided my raspy voice wasn't good enough while singing like a stone
Haha yeah I should be going to bed but I decided to look up singing techniques lol. Started with 80s new wave , then Robert Smith now here I am lol
I actually had a natural raspy singing voice as a child and lost it with age so thanks for the video I miss it
SAMMEEE :( i remember a family friend of ours who was a vocalist was obsessed w my voice and now the rasp is gone :((((
no same 😢
no same 😢
now thats unfair. even your talking voice is amazing....
besides that, nice coaching. Very helpful!
haha - Thank you! Funny thing is; I really don't like my speaking voice... I guess nobody really likes their voice in some way! 😃
Who woulda thought Mark Hamill would be teaching vocals on TH-cam! 🤣
😂🙏💕
@@RockYourBestVocals Awesome video anyway though dude!
Personally I think he looks like Chris Jericho
If Mark Hamill and Jack had a baby 😅 I loooooooove this guy!!!
He is a Luke a like
Thank you so much! Its hard having such a girly voice and being metalhead lol. This helped me soo much, your explanation was cristal clear!
Hi Isabel, you're very welcome - glad to help! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
because its your faith become girl
Bruh I'm trans metalhead and I WISH I had a girlish voice
I swear all the girls now days are stuck up entitled woke liberals 90s and 80s were just better sure Courtney killed Kurt but like now u can t even tell if your looking at a guy girl it or another letter I don’t know where you stand on all that sorry if I offend anyone but u guys need to wake up and bring back the 90s and the good music also I’m 14 so don’t think I’m some old angry dad hahahaha ☮️
@@VanceBurton We can tell that you're 14
May the rasp be with you, young Jedi!
My cat went from purring contentedly to full on defensive mode hearing some of the noise you made in this video.
🙈😂💕😹😻
Dude same here. She was chillin on my lap then eyes got wide and ears down in attack mode. She didn't like those up and down sweep one bit
Thank you for this. I watched another video and he said to use compression (lots of air) which was hurting my throat. Since learning how to do growls and screams, I can recognize when I'm damaging my throat. It's a little sore from the last video, but this was a lot easier. Kudos to you for sure!
Hey glad this helps! To clarify - when you use compression, you HOLD BACK the air... I hope you will subscribe and activate notifications so I can clarify this on a future video! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment - much love!
Compression is the opposite of using lots of air. Compression is singing with the least required amount of air to make the desired sound whilst maintaining pressure.
Thank God I found you!!! Two videos in and you’ve helped more with what I’m trying to learn than 4 vocal coaches and the many you tube videos I’ve watched!!! You don’t over talk. You say it then demonstrate it!! Perfect!!! And you’re funny as hell. Much love dude!! Thank you!!!❤
Wow Cary, thank you for making my day with such nice comments - much appreciated! I'm so glad the videos have helped you and feel free to reach out if I can be of further assistance in any way 🙏😊💕
Nasal sound sounds so weird alone, but when you add reverb it's actually good
Ver1: Brian Adams
Ver2: Axel Rose
Dude you really sound like Jon Bon Jovi from Its my life era. That rasp sounds very good. Also like that your voice resonance is where it should be. Not a hidden sound, singing in the front of your face. Dont know how to explain it but sounds very pro.
Thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! Considering I've been singing professionally for >30years sounds like I've finally got it 'right' - haha! Thanks again, really appreciate it!
Hey I've seen a lot of these how to "sound like "videos on all sorts of guys, but i haven't seen one on Dan McCafferty of Nazareth. That guy is the GODFATHER of high, raspy vocals... influenced everyone from Bon Scott to Axl Rose. I feel like he is the one to study because he is in his 70s, and STILL is nailing it with the same voice. That's the guy. Can you do a video on him..?
Wow - GREAT suggestion! I will put that on the list for sure! I really love to dig into the influences of my influences, and Nazareth is definitely a HUGE one there! Thank you for your suggestion and taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Thanks for the tutorial.
I wanted to sound like Bryan Adams i got Axl Rose.
The down side to emulating Bryan Adam’s is that his technique is why he is raspy and he can never sing clean… in my career I have to be able to also sing clean so I modify Bryan Adams somewhat
may the force be with your chords 🤟🏼
🤘🏼😂🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕💕 thank you! You too!
everyone’s tryna sound like bryan adams, i just want that bruce springsteen 😂
Bryan Adams is the greatest vocalist and singer.
THIS was very helpfull ! I used to have a really Raspy voice growing up but due to classical training I kinda thought I lost it.. Your Video helped me to switch to it if I want to while still being able to sing really clear and classical !
Glad it was helpful!
Who knew all my years of singing Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi I was nailing it as a child
Please teach us girls how to get the rasp that Gwen Stefani had when she was in No Doubt. I love her voice and I wanna learn her technique 😊
Great suggestion - I'll add that to the list! LOVE Gwen!!!
@@RockYourBestVocals Yay! Thank you 😁✨️
I'm trying to sing similar to Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P.. It's not easy trying to sing that high. I hope to one day nail it though.
Thank you!! I’m the lead vocalist in my grunge band and I hate sounding so out of place with the other instruments!
I have a naturally raspy voice for a female and I wanted to change it, I didn't know it's actually desirable.
thank you for the great tip..its my dream to learn how to sing that way
You can do it!
Thank you so much for this video.
For me this is the hardest part of singing, I've learned from vibrato, belting, etc all succeed but this one keep buggin me and I'm still not adapted yet, I can use a little raspy voice on lower note but not on higher note. 😫 Hopefully I'm able to learn it soon.
Btw, I really would like to see you discuss about Phil Collins, his unique and raspy voice in his song "All Against All Odds", he is the reason I want to learn to sing. Cheers.
Hi Doopye, glad you liked it. I will look into Phil Collins - great song! I'll put it on my list!
@@RockYourBestVocals Hello there! By now I have learned how to do the raspy voice not a very raspy one but enough to make a good tunes out of some songs, it's fun and the tips from this video was helpful! Thank you so much!! :-))
@@RockYourBestVocals I'm excited, looking forward to your new video especially talking about Phil Collins one :-)
Not trying to be negative, but whats up with the polyphonic overtones in your voice? I assumed you were demonstrating the wrong way, but it was present in mostly all examples.
@@eidolonofficial echo?
This was great. Now to try Man in the Box.
Brother. Is it possible for you to make a Bryan Adams tutorial? "Straight From The Heart..." I can't find a tutorial that can convincingly explain how it imprints that resonance, air and distortion, yet in a smooth way. That voice sounds so warm. Thanks!
Hey thank you for that suggestion, great one! I'll put that on my list! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
concise and fantastically informative... helping me so much with my rock and roll love
Great to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting
Thank you. Great video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
“Brian Adams voice is very raspy”
Tom waits: “Hold my beer, and past me those cigarettes”
😂😂
😂😂😂
i thinked that i was doing my rasp right but while waching this video i found a better way, thank you sir! other way can cause a little discomfort but this way feel comfortabble i think i was using somenthing in middle like my fake vocal chords and real
New set looks really good dude.
Thank you bro - couldn't hack any more comments (only from you oddly) about the wrinkly backdrop hahah! 😂 Much Luv my Bruv!!!🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
@@RockYourBestVocals ah now, I can't have been the only one 🤭
Videos keep looking and sounding better all the time. 💪🏻
Thanks so much for your tutorial! Could you make a "how to sing like Axl rose" tutorial? :)
Hi, I'm glad you like it - here's a link to the tutorial I did on how to sing like Axl - hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/eibJ5G3H-sM/w-d-xo.html
Good day, I was wondering if you have or can do a lesson about the rock and roll rasp, like Presley's voice in Jailhouse Rock and Trouble. It is just really fascinating how he could keep that voice for the whole song of Jailhouse Rock, and also belt it for the latter.
I can't seem to find one video on how to sing like Rod Stewart. I think that would be such a good video to have on TH-cam. You should do it man!
Great suggestion! I’ll add that to my list! 😊👍🏼🙏🏽💕
This man is a genius. Thanks!
Haha 🤣 fine line between genius and insanity! I’ve heard BOTH 😂 (mostly the latter!) 😂
You're awesome! This is actually a technique I use for metal screams, I haven't been able to limit it. Could you make a video on a light false cord rasp?
Great suggestion! thank you for taking the time to watch and I'm so glad you liked this video!
Thanks a lot! Does Christina Aguilera do it the right or the wrong way? And is the vocal fry the only way to do it?
Hi, I would have to say that I believe she does it correctly, because she never appears to have vocal struggles/loss. There is a very specific technique that anyone can learn - albeit more 'advanced' and I'd be happy to help. You might consider booking some 1:1 Private sessions: check out the link on my website: courses.rockyourbestvocals.com/ Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
completely unrelated, but this reminds me a little bit of how when a lot of people try to imitate that "old timey" Southern accent, particularly a nonrhotic variety (no R's after vowels), there's a tendency to go waaay to whispy and let too much air out and devoice stuff, it just doesn't sound right.
In reality a proper southern accent is very.. connected is what always comes to mind. See when you make your voice whispy, air's coming out and it's devoicing the sounds you're making. When you don't do that, there's this buzzing smoothness that continues all throughout the utterance, and that's part of a Southern accent, it's like a legato feel.
Thank you for the awesome video! Do you think this also applies to the voice of Fred Rabe from Giant Rooks?
Thank you this video helped me so much!!
You're so welcome!
Great explanation and demo!
Glad you liked it!
after alot of videos i finally found the one that actually worked for me thank you so much dude
Your very welcome! SOOO Glad I could help!!! Happy Singing 🤘😎🤘
This is the exact song why I needed to learn husky and you nailed it in teaching me! thank you!
Thanks, Mark
I'ts been almost 10 years that I want to learn how to sing with distortion but I never could. Your video helped me a lot, it was the only one that did, but still I'm having a lot of trouble with getting that distortion, I can activate the vocal fry, but I can't sing it loudly with the vocal fry. I can get a very little dirty on my voice when I let less air come out like you said, but then the distortion is not powerful. I other words, if my voice is loud and powerful it's not distorted. Do I have to combine the vocal fry with the baloon thing you said in you video about compression?
I want to sound like George Yanagi, Crazy Ken Band or Tom Waits. That kind of drunk blues man voice lol
Hi, It's almost impossible to diagnose what you are doing versus what you want to achieve with your voice without hearing you. Enrolling in my "Rapid Vocal Transformation" course would provide that feedback
Never thought I’d learn to sing from Chris jericho
😂 🤡🤷🏼♂️🤣
5:00 maaaan.... That helped me a lot.
GRACIAS
Look into Paul McCartneys “Oh Darling”
Thank you for this!!!
I lose my pitch control when I use vocal fry. Any tips?
That should improve with practice… sometimes when you start working with a technique, the lack of control can be a bit frustrating. The pitch control is provided by your “support” (diaphragm), but at the start I would just play with the sound and slowly improve support
I'm trying to sing similar to Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P.. It's not easy trying to sing that high. I hope to ine day nail it though.
My voice is raspy cuz its damaged lol. It feels like no one can help me- i think im too blocked mentally because im scared as fuck to sing
Cool I will try 💌
why not just say it. Bryan Adams has a high-ass voice so when he sings in his chest voice, he can just add the rasp easily. He's not straining to hit the pitches nor is he doing any kind of head voice or special technique. It's like a vid trying to teach someone how to sing like Dio or Brad Delp. If you have a tuba, you can't play flute parts. Thx for trying tho. At least this will make singers aware that there are different sounds they can make w/o yelling loudly. 4:25 yours is strained. Bryan's is still controlled and not into any mix or head voice. I'd advise people to sing inside their comfy range (key) while working in practice mode to extend their chest voice range as much as nature will allow. 4:28 literally sounds like an 80 year old man trying to sing a Bryan Adams tune. Bryan is not squeezing and straining like that. His voice is open and the basic timbre does not change as he ascends in pitch. oh well....
Thanks! I’m a big fan of your vocal covers! Hope you will get back to posting soon, and let people comment so you can get the props you deserve 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
@@RockYourBestVocals Oh, thanks and sorry if I sounded a bit harsh above but I just know from watching a lot of vocal tut vids that every single one where a baritone is trying to sing high sounds really strained OR the timbre is not correct because they are having to resort to some kind of mix or head voice to reach pitches. I mean, I realize guys like Brian Johnson and Tom Keifer used a gravelly falsetto of sorts but on my covers I sang it in lower keys then pitch shifted it up to the orig key (cheated hehehe) so even I know that even if I trained for years, I'd still not be able to sing the stuff going up past C5. BUT... you can increase your range and ability and that's still a good thing because you will just sound like you or something and here's my thought.... the MAIN thing in singing is hitting your pitches with stability. Timbre actually is secondary. I mean, who would have thought Bon Scott would sound good singing by listening to him talk? Yet... he was hitting his pitches and had crazy range so... that combined with that evil weird tone... it worked. I'm rambling. But thanks for the nice words. I stopped uploading because of personal reasons beyond my control. I doubt I will ever upload to that channel again. I haven't really sung anything much since I stopped uploading there. Been doing house repairs and voice acting and just trying to get from one day to another. Hope you have a good Christmas and New Years!
How much time until i sing raspy?
I can barely train fry and a random note, but the grit does not go when i sing real time
It depends on how much time you take to dedicate working on it... just keep at it and KNOW that you WILL get it...
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Excellent lesson! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Hey man, I do the same thing as you... but I get into fry scream very easily with that technique. I am trying with the healthy technique but it comes out more like a fry scream... or is that just me😅
Awesome! I think it's 'all good' as long as it doesn't hurt your vocal cords 😀👍
How did. Bruce Springsteen get it?
I had a pretty nice singing voice until I got bad tonsillitis, so now I’m going to try to embrace my new raspy voice 🥹
Yet another great vid
Thank you Kai - Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
What’# your take on Rod Stewart rasp? Same thing?
Yes, I would say so in my own opinion
Any chance you could cover how to do Mccartney rasp vocals
4:28 he literally became dave mustaine
🤘🏼😂🙏🏽
I naturally have a naturally harmonic voice
I want my voice to sound like Stevie nicks. I don’t think her voice was raspy before joining Fleetwood Mac tho, I don’t know how she did it 😂 can you help me?!!
Of course you can get that "Stevie" rasp in your voice, it will just take work for you to learn how to apply it to your voice without damaging your voice. I'm not sure if her voice became raspy due to touring/excessive use, but you can certainly apply rasp safely for stylistic purposes. It will just take some work and practice. If you want to book 1:1 sessions that's probably your best to work directly with me on this for a clear path of what you can do to achieve your goals
It’s called cocaine
Awesome!
You sound like Jon Bon Jovi
Awesome stuff! I would love to see you do one on Rod Stewart 😊
Great suggestion- I’ll add him to the list! Thanks!
@@RockYourBestVocals that would be awesome. I don't think any other coach has attempted Rod Stewart.
Like when she sung that song in 1995 the song I’m so high and the way she was raspy screaming was good and I tried to do that and my throat started hurting and I stopped so can this also work for females to
He kinda looks like the guy from the shining
😂
Ok so ik this is old but does this work for females to bc I wanna be able to sing like Courtney live even tho she did really terrible things I just wanna be able to have a strong raspy scream and be able to sing rock and 90s grunge songs
Hey, of course this will work for females, they can do AMAZING things with their voices - maybe even better than guys! Just check out how amazing Tatiana from the band "Jinjer" is... you can do that too! Just takes work and dedication, but YOU CAN!!!
When I go in my vocal fry, I end up in the whistle notes. Lol
Your natural talking voice sounds alot like jon bon jovi 🤣nice vid very helpful
Here because I want to sing like Paul McCartney when he does raspi voice just like in I’ve Got a Feeling
Man I do metal vocals like all kinds of inhuman noises but I just wanna sound like the dude from mighty mighty bosstones cuz I have to do someday i suppose at karaoke night
Have you tried listening very closely to them and doing your best to emulate the tones? That's where I would start. He has great compression and support - I have a few videos on these subjects that may help you
after practicing raspy way is it normal to have a weird feeling at uvula?
And I also tried not to give out air out while practicing
as long as 'weird' doesn't = 'pain'
You think Chester Bennington was doing it wrong since his voice got noticeably weaker over time and tiny? I think he had to get surgery don’t at one point but I forget.
Your distortion voice is really good when doing that Bryan Adams song. That’s almost exactly the tone I’d go for in distortion, very musical sounding like a guitar over driving the tubes.
So this technique only works while singing the falsetto?
No you can use in any range, it was just the example I gave I believe
Thank you from Sweden // Peter Christensen
You're welcome Peter! Sweden is a wonderful place! 😊👍
I can’t do it without pushing too much air through, and idk what to do🥲
it takes time to get this, so you have to just keep working at it... if you really want to sing, you will keep at it. If you don't want to learn how, you won't.... if you want to succeed at something (anything in life!) you must remove that word "can't" from your vocabulary....
Very good video! This is very similar to Bon Jovi too!
Is it correct to say apply compression to the sound?
Depends on the context. I would suggest that I’m always singing with some level of compressed sound - it’s a matter of adding more to increase volume (while limiting air release)
How do I get that raspy voice from you'll like it darker
I swear I have yet to hear a singing exercise that isn't goofy as hell 😂
Thanks a lot, this is what I've been looking for 👍
Happy to help! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😊👍🏼🙏🏽
When I try this I feel discomfort in the top of my mouth. Feels like the roof of my mouth is irritated both in the top front and top back. Its directly on the hard palette no idea why.
As long as it's not your vocal cords I wouldn't worry too much, but if you are concerned you might consider seeking the advice of a medical professional
Is it possible to sing like tom waits naturally or do i have ro breathe cigarette smoke instead of air in order to sing like that
how do you filter out the overtones I am hearing in both of your techniques?
I believe what you are hearing as far as overtones IS the rasp 🤷🏼♂️🤔 not exactly sure what you’re asking really…
@@RockYourBestVocalsI bet they mean the "harmonica" sound that is there intermittently. As to the answer: I'm betting that at higher volumes (like how loudly and quickly you'd be singing in a real situation) that would either go away completely, or get lost in the overall sound. It sounds like an artifact of unnaturally slowed down "demonstration" singing.
wishing i could sing better with my very raspy normal voice 😂
If I can do it, YOU can! There are simple shortcuts you can apply to sing better without years of lessons! 😊👍🏼
I’m trying to sing begging
Oooohhh great song and great band! I’m going to do a video on this soon! Stay tuned - subscribe and all that stuff 😂👍🏼
Are we all just having a Maneskin moment here? Lol.
Wow you got a bonjovi kinda tone.. nice tutorial 🤝😁
Wow, thanks! 😊
2:08 😮
I seem to loose all of the raspy sound the second i get loud any tips?
It's impossible to tell what's going on with you unless I hear you as example I'm afraid, but you can book a 15min consultation for FREE and maybe I can help then!
Lmao he immediately went in to cough
Interesting, but a singer like Josh Todd sounds like he's doing it the wrong way. It's odd, but for me it depends on the song. I can sing "Ace of Spades" like Lemmy the right way, but when it comes to other songs, like "Lit Up" by Buck Cherry, I have more difficulty without doing it the wrong way. I think the "Correct Way" leans heavily on the microphone and the wrong way is as if you don't have that amplifier.
I think I’m just gonna walk into class one day and just do this 2:38
Haha - I DARE YOU! LOL 😂😂😂
THX DUDE
My pleasure 😇
