No matter what I do, i can't get your mic/gear page to display. Turned off all anti-virus, ads, vpn...nothing's coming up. Don't worry about solving my problem though; I was just checking it because I was curious; I live in Portugal anyway. I'm just mentioning it because I know it's part of your income, and you didn't perhaps didn't notice it.
it is nice to see that there are videos with a complete explanation in contrast with these videos who promise to explain something and instead show how they sing and finally don't explain anything or point you to their overpriced lesson.. This is the best explanation I found so far. Thanks for providing us with these videos! Very to the point and very clear
Thanks very much! That's my goal, to provide tutorials that have good, practical tips that people can actually USE. It is disheartening to see tutorials with only singing and little to no information on HOW they are singing. One of the "red flags" of a vocal coach who might not be that fantastic is a lack of specific, practical information on HOW to execute or work on specific techniques. I'm going to be making a video on this soon, tips for finding a good vocal instructor. This is also why I began with tutorials and have only a few singing examples on the actual Voicehacks channel, because you can Google me if you want to see me sing with bands/scream etc. and it's time to give everyone some information and real useful stuff for a change. Thanks much and I've got more coming - things are going up to the next level in 2017! \m/
Thanks, subscribed! I'm a men who is also looking for a light rasp in the lower range. This is the mid-range and the higher range. Is this with the same technique? I can do it a bit with the trick of starting with a humming sound that goes over in a raspy humming that you can also convert in a scream. It sometimes works in a higher range, but the lower is with to much tension. Also my singing teacher says I have to much tension in my voice. ut it's much less the last year(s). Thank you very much once again.
Hmmm.. Do you really find "imagine noise in your mouth and it will come naturally" informative? Like.. I need to contract muscles to do it, mental image won't do it for me. If i didn't learn to engage false cords beforehand, i'd have had no idea how to do it
@@puckspirit2573 same i say hahaha i know this girl tried to be informative, but there's not much here, no exercises, nothing about the muscles involved, or at least something like "use vocal fry" or "dont use it". ill keep searching XD
I can sing well cleanly, but have been getting into heavier stuff and have been struggling to sing with grit without hurting myself. In the past month or so I've watched a bunch of videos, and by far this was the most helpful. Your explanation of visualizing singing up and over with the graph helped immediately and over the course of the day I got it and can now sing with high distortion without any pain! You're the best! Thanks!
I honestly can't believe that this worked, holy macarony. For years I've been madly trying to get an alternative to my plain voice, which is nice for a lot of stuff but just kills the mood for a lot of songs still. This is sincerely an amazing revelation o.o I'm gonna practice the heck out of this now :D Thank you so much for making this video 4 years back!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm so tired of singing "pretty". I immediately added these techniques to a song I've Been Working On and it's exactly what I've been looking for. thank you.
I used to sing metal with a bad technique, but now I want to learn how to sing properly so I checked this video. Thanks a lot! I've learned a lot from this. You're a good teacher! You earned another subscriber :) More power.
5:04 I can’t even begin to describe how delicious that grit sounds (I could, but I’d just ramble on and on and on lol) Thank you so much for sharing this!!
I've been singing with grit for about 3 years now. It's sorta a mix between Lemmy and Tom Waits. I never gave much thought on how I did it. I taught myself to growl and scream then worked backwards from there to teach myself that amazing, rich gritty texture I can now use in my voice. This is a great video in explaining how it works!
THANK YOU! I've always sung with a rasp/grit but could never completely control where it came from, so extra fatigue and it took some of my power away. Then I listen to you for five minutes and boom, fixed. No tightness, great sound, full power. I wish I'd known about you 20 years ago!
I tried your technique and ended up growling or screaming, instead, and when I tried to imagine the noise from my mouth, it's all clean. I'm really struggling to get it right, guess I'm not very good with abstraction, can you give me a glimpse on how it feel when you sing with grit? Like how open your throat is... Please help!
Okay so yes this is my 3rd comment on these videos. But I just tried this. This is the thing I have been wanting to learn how to do for so long so long. And this just made 100% sense in the way its explained. I practiced a little then had a go at some Halestorm... Never thought I'd ever be saying that.
Wow. Easy to follow and instant effect. This is by far the most effective and teachable lesson I have ever seen. Along the tone placement one. Incredible. Thank you.
The best video tutorials I have ever seen!!! Very understandable and clear! And of course the beauty of this lady makes it even better!!! Finally I found the right place to learn the vocal techniques!!! Thank you!
THIS worked, instantly and perfectly! What a great tip. I've actually achieved this technique before, but didn't know how I was doing it. Now with the help of your mental imagery I can do it consistently thanks to you. I'll be checking out your other videos today :)
So I started with that vid and managed to nail and record Linkin Park - One Step Closer Breakdown vocals, what the fish, thay's like my 3rd attempt at screaming. Ty sending a ray of love your way
Wow so I’ve always struggled with adding grit. When you started explaining just imagining it I was sceptical but I’ve just done it and it worked! Just need to practice now!
Oh my gosh....this is the most impactful video i've ever had on singing with grit. Thank you so much! Specifically, this helped my learn Dan Campbell's part of Strangers by Trash Boat! Thank you so much!
I sort of did some of these things instinctively on stage (your throat will die on tour if you don't learn a little something about not using it) but as I get older I'm getting hoarse so I started looking up more proper technique. This is great stuff that I'm sure will help me improve a lot. Thank you a ton for posting these!!
Thank you! And also use this breathing video to improve all of these techniques. AIR is the key here to making this work without hoarseness: th-cam.com/video/W5cd4C40SRE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much! Didn't think the white noise thing was gonna work but after a few tries it did! Now just practicing to have better control over it...
Best tutorial ever!!! After trying out so many other and not managing to do it, I thought I was just incapable to do it but thanks to you I finally did it!!
Thank you so much for this well explained video. I have seen many videos of the same style but yours have something the others I have viewed don't. The technique of the sounds and how to approach them that you provide is extremely helpful. Thanks for your advice!
Hey i'm watching tbis in 2018 and i want to say thank you so much for making this video to help me. Some other videos just don't help out at all and this is the only video that helped me sing with grit.
This channel is an absolute life saver! I just got asked to front a posthardcore band based on some covers on my soundcloud. And I'm super excited for it but... I've only ever sung back up harmonies in more melodic bands so I am missing that aggressive/ vocal knowledge. (y)
This is the only time this has been explained to me in a way that helps me differentiate the throat muscles. Going to start practicing with it. Thank you so much!
this series of videos are so informative! I love the deep explanation of the abstract thoughts and where the sounds is coming from and going to. Thank you
I've been watching youtube videos about singing teaching for years and years, but your channel is the best one literally. Very effective, clear, healthy way of teaching. Thank you, it helps me a lot.
Wait, I'm confused. Is this the same as the vocal fry technique? Are you adding a layer of fry into the belting, or is the grit from a completely different place?
ive tried to to add the grit to my voice but it just doesnt go. it doesnt hurt, so i know i'm not straining anything, but i just cant seem to make it out.
nicolesio it's the same as belting technique, I find when I want grit that I have to sing very loud so that enough air passes through my throat; and then I just compress a little.
I have a singing voice. And I wanted to practice other singing techniques to use more for my covers! I still didn't start making covers yet. But I'm gonna start as soon and I can
Hi Mary, when I do this (correctly I think) I feel too itchy around my soft palate and this results in me coughing. Am I doing this too harsh? (I never feel anywhere down in my throat) Thanks!
These video tutorials are at least promo for a person's paid services. We get a feel for how a particular teacher works and can help us figure out which one will be able to help us at qhatever stage we are at or where we want to go with it. It just happens to be handy for those of us not wanting to vecome pros but just sound better in the shower or something. But if you want to be a whole ass vocalist, you will need a vocal coach, and they will absolutely need money, its a job.
The imagery did not work for me. What did was projecting the sound a bit upwards toward the anterior roof of my mouth instead of straight as suggested by the diagram. One other way of finding it is projecting the sound forward then tilting my head downwards while keeping the sound projected parallel to the ground.
You didn't help me add grit to my voice - I struggled to understand what you mean but you did help me to Improve the way I'm singing with the whole singing over the joker line explanation which I liked so thank you!
I have a feeling Porcelain Black's song This is what Rock n Roll looks like is good for practicing these basics :) Thank you so much for explaining so well
You're not alone! It doesn't just magically work for many people, and I think that learning from videos isn't super realistic for most people. Try one of the heavier sounds, I recommend "false Cord screams", I have videos on those and see if that can get the ball rolling then come back to this one.
Am I doing this right? I can create the clean, belting sound confidently without any pain, and I can create a gritty version that sounds great but feels like continual repetition would hurt. The placement in my throat feels lower than you were describing, but I feel a lot of compression and support in my core/diaphragm which seems to really project the sound. Attempting this technique with a higher placement activates my head voice, my voice crackles, doesn't feel as powerful and controlled, but isn't painful at all. I'll keep practicing with this video and take a look at the others too. Thanks for this regardless! This is a really succinct explanation.
whoa-- I was singing in the mid range for years and have been goin back and forth between your video and a metal chica named Adrrienne and I think i made more progress tonight than in years... Ive always had that low to mid Cornell style voice but could never cut it in the higher spectrum. I do notice a little bit of strain but thats prob because i put in 3 hours today messin around. The head voice has really intimidated me because i always felt like i could do it but sounded too feminine. Ive been just imitating what you do via observation and it just clicked. I feel like a dunz, LOL-- Thanks! Totally subscribing!
EXACTLY WHY IM WATCHING THIS. lol I'm literally listening to Avenged Sevenfold and trying to sound like him. I thought I was doing it until I recorded myself 😑😑😑 I'm horrible. So I said. "Fuck it! I'm watching videos on this shit"😂😂
I can make a gritty sound without throat tightness (i think), but the uvula or whatever vibrating makes me want to cough. Also it seems to increase phlegm production.
So I'm trying to imagine a little ball of white noise or paper, but whem i go to sing it doesn't make that grit sound? Would you happen to know what would help achieve that?
so i’m able to add the grit, but the grit feels like it hurts my throat. My vocal cords feel totally fine, but it’s feels like i have a sore throat in the space above my vocal folds. any reason why this is happening.
I have to concentrate harder to NOT have grit. It doesn't hurt, it just happens. I will say, if I try to get lower it gets harder, but when I'm singing Def Leppard, for example... It's extremely natural and easy. I've also been told I sound the best singing in Joe Elliott's range..... 80s Elliott.
This almost immediately helped me. I was able to sing along to some songs like Hard Feelings by Palisades and Collide by Normandie without ANY strain, and I could sing all of it (I was never able to sing those songs fully or even keep up for long before this)

@@dorcassnell Thanks very much! I know it’s not working at the moment I’m going to fix it shortly!

Instructions not clear. Sand paper is stuck in my throat
XD I ate the paper accidentantly
Whoa!! It freaking worked!! The imagery is SUCH a better route than thinking in terms of mechanics. Thanks, Mary!
woo hoo! 🙌🙌

Now I'm expecting some Metal let's plays from you!
The "white-noise-ball" analogy is perfect as I find you have to flatten your tongue into a dish-shape, or like the top of a golf ball tee.
DUDE! I was struggling a bit with her explanation but your comment really added the last piece to the puzzle, amazing! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy, thank you!

My voice starts sounding more like Marilyn Manson but higher pitched with my grit 😂
That's good, though right? I love Manson's grit!
VoiceHacks definitely a good thing!!
Yay!
I defenetly do too, If i try to do any sort of other artist i still sound like manson, Well kind of like manson and taylor momsens spawn
Yeah, Marilyn Manson is amazing
This is sth I struggle a lot with, my screams are super clean but can't manage to sing like this😂😂😂😂😂

Really great stuff Mary, very helpful! Would you mind making a short video on how to sing an actual song phrase with this technique please?
You are awesome!
this is crazy, that laser beam through the top of the lips really nailed it for me

Love this! Visualizing the path of the sound helps me a lot with my technique 😁 you are a great teacher 💖
You’re so right about using your mind to help create the sound!

Holy shit I was able to hit an A4 with grit because of you I'll keep practicing now thank you
You're awesome! Thanks for sharing -wishing you more success ❤❤❤
wow okay that's really cool, none of the other vids I've found helped and this was perfect, wow.
I can do the "nay" sound, and I do imagine the white noise in my mouth but I still can't add grit to my voice :( any advice?
Use a lot of compression and sing really loudly
Use dense sand paper.
Try speaking with grit or a gravely voice first, not just singing.
Thank you so much for this well explained video.
I have seen many videos of the same style but yours have something the others I have viewed don't.
The technique of the sounds and how to approach them that you provide is extremely helpful.
Thanks for your advice!
I’ve watched so many videos and I still can’t get it 😭😭
I like this. This technique reminds me of Adam Gontier from the old school Three Days Grace
Hey i'm watching tbis in 2018 and i want to say thank you so much for making this video to help me. Some other videos just don't help out at all and this is the only video that helped me sing with grit.
Bert Paulino so glad it worked for you!
This channel is an absolute life saver!
I just got asked to front a posthardcore band based on some covers on my soundcloud. And I'm super excited for it but...
I've only ever sung back up harmonies in more melodic bands so I am missing that aggressive/ vocal knowledge. (y)
Omg, thanks so much for this advice! I spent the past week watching videos on grit and your video summed it up perfectly! The visual helped a bunch!!
I got the noise immediately after listening a few times and it was the biggest shock I've had in a while thank you
This is the only time this has been explained to me in a way that helps me differentiate the throat muscles. Going to start practicing with it. Thank you so much!

God Donut! I finally feel grit in my soft pallet instead of throat. Amazing explanation, thanks!
I just want to sing violet by hole without sounding like a sheep and having a saw throat lmao
Wait, I'm confused. Is this the same as the vocal fry technique? Are you adding a layer of fry into the belting, or is the grit from a completely different place?
Good question! I don't get the "imagine white noise" technique at all :/
It has nothing to do with fry
Fry comes from your vocal chords. It's another technique.
Holy shit that abstract thing actually works
Mary, I love you! The visualization technique is so useful!
You. Are. Awesome!!!!
ive tried to to add the grit to my voice but it just doesnt go. it doesnt hurt, so i know i'm not straining anything, but i just cant seem to make it out.
nicolesio it's the same as belting technique, I find when I want grit that I have to sing very loud so that enough air passes through my throat; and then I just compress a little.
Honestly, this channel has helped my vocals more than the rest if the website. Still cant get it though, practice practice practice!
I have a singing voice. And I wanted to practice other singing techniques to use more for my covers! I still didn't start making covers yet. But I'm gonna start as soon and I can
this is great for nirvana songs, thank you.
I dont get it... it literally sounds like she's using her throat... how do you make that grit without using anything else but air..
This was really helpful! I wanted to try and sing like Adam Gontier..
Hi Mary, when I do this (correctly I think) I feel too itchy around my soft palate and this results in me coughing. Am I doing this too harsh? (I never feel anywhere down in my throat)
Thanks!
your courses are to clear, complete, waooo O_O
Too many clowns want to charge you for vocal lessons. This is awesome
Whats wrong with charging for vocal lessons? nothing is free in life.
These video tutorials are at least promo for a person's paid services. We get a feel for how a particular teacher works and can help us figure out which one will be able to help us at qhatever stage we are at or where we want to go with it.
It just happens to be handy for those of us not wanting to vecome pros but just sound better in the shower or something. But if you want to be a whole ass vocalist, you will need a vocal coach, and they will absolutely need money, its a job.
I happened To find this again and I’m glad I remember this visualization technique working
The imagery did not work for me. What did was projecting the sound a bit upwards toward the anterior roof of my mouth instead of straight as suggested by the diagram. One other way of finding it is projecting the sound forward then tilting my head downwards while keeping the sound projected parallel to the ground.
You didn't help me add grit to my voice - I struggled to understand what you mean but you did help me to Improve the way I'm singing with the whole singing over the joker line explanation which I liked so thank you!
So far...this is more clearer than I watched earlier...
Hey, how do you know that when I do the example it's "good"?! Freaky.
“Now you give it a try”
“H.. erp!” 😐🤭😑
“Good”
😦😯🤔🙂
Every time I try adding grit to my vocals, I end up doing either a false chord scream or a fry scream. What leads to this, and how can I stop it?
this was extremely helpful
I have a feeling Porcelain Black's song This is what Rock n Roll looks like is good for practicing these basics :) Thank you so much for explaining so well
Love porcelain black!
Help I don’t get it?? Idk how it’s supposed to work by just imagining it??😭😭
I’m literally the only person on here that this doesn’t work for I could cry I’ve been trying for 45 minutes. I’m so mad
You're not alone! It doesn't just magically work for many people, and I think that learning from videos isn't super realistic for most people. Try one of the heavier sounds, I recommend "false Cord screams", I have videos on those and see if that can get the ball rolling then come back to this one.
That was totally helpfull, thank you so much x
Am I doing this right? I can create the clean, belting sound confidently without any pain, and I can create a gritty version that sounds great but feels like continual repetition would hurt.

I'll keep practicing with this video and take a look at the others too. Thanks for this regardless! This is a really succinct explanation.
whoa-- I was singing in the mid range for years and have been goin back and forth between your video and a metal chica named Adrrienne and I think i made more progress tonight than in years... Ive always had that low to mid Cornell style voice but could never cut it in the higher spectrum. I do notice a little bit of strain but thats prob because i put in 3 hours today messin around. The head voice has really intimidated me because i always felt like i could do it but sounded too feminine. Ive been just imitating what you do via observation and it just clicked. I feel like a dunz, LOL-- Thanks! Totally subscribing!
somehow I unlocked false highs which I've been stuck trying to unlock for months. Thanks 😁😁👍
great explanation. Many thanks
Wow thanks for this vid❤️ i just discovered how to do it now thank u very muchhh😘
Beautiful love these tips
You're a very good teacher thanks!
it works better for me when i go for mixed tone placement
Great video, very informative. Thank you!
Nice demonstration.
I wish I can sing rasp like M.Shadows 😂
Muhammad Alvien that's exactly why I watched this
Seth Hubbard me too
He's had some problems with his voice and even surgery though, so some of it could come from that when he's just pushing it a little.
EXACTLY WHY IM WATCHING THIS. lol I'm literally listening to Avenged Sevenfold and trying to sound like him. I thought I was doing it until I recorded myself 😑😑😑 I'm horrible. So I said. "Fuck it! I'm watching videos on this shit"😂😂
Muhammad Alvien He has damaged vocal cords tho, that’s how he gets that sound.
I can make a gritty sound without throat tightness (i think), but the uvula or whatever vibrating makes me want to cough. Also it seems to increase phlegm production.
Holy crap! It works.
Yop Glo How long did it take? I have an audition for a band at the end of the month and they asked me to sing some Nirvana songs. -_-"
@@t0rschlusspan1k I'M SO SORRY! I never saw your comment. I'm actually still working on it, but it's getting better. It takes so much practice.
So I'm trying to imagine a little ball of white noise or paper, but whem i go to sing it doesn't make that grit sound? Would you happen to know what would help achieve that?
so i’m able to add the grit, but the grit feels like it hurts my throat. My vocal cords feel totally fine, but it’s feels like i have a sore throat in the space above my vocal folds. any reason why this is happening.
super video, great teacher .thanks
I have to concentrate harder to NOT have grit. It doesn't hurt, it just happens. I will say, if I try to get lower it gets harder, but when I'm singing Def Leppard, for example... It's extremely natural and easy. I've also been told I sound the best singing in Joe Elliott's range..... 80s Elliott.
Can you apply this exact technique in head voice too? Im trying to develope a bit of Grit or rasp to my high notes to not sound so thin and clean.
The Metallica grit is what I'm going for; Justice era vocals. Hopefully this is what I need. I'll look your other videos up tomorrow.
I had my tonsils and other glands removed as a child. Does this make it harder to dirty up the sound?
Golden time (11:45am-12 & 2:30pm-2:45pm)
But what if you have Aphantasia so can't picture anything! 🤔
This almost immediately helped me. I was able to sing along to some songs like Hard Feelings by Palisades and Collide by Normandie without ANY strain, and I could sing all of it (I was never able to sing those songs fully or even keep up for long before this)
This is so great to hear! Thanks for letting me know!
