Try to stay on key, don't pick songs out of your range. |

Well I mean actually singing them, not song selection. Singing a rock song has totally different form than singing a pop song. |

pick one that is within your personal vocal range.....singing rock can require alot of vocal thrust and you can damage your instrument if you keep trying to belt one out that you really shouldnt be attempting......go through your collection, try different songs, and if you can get through one of them in whole with little or minimum vocal effort, and feel comfortable with it, then practice it over and over again........when you find the song you will know it!.....and each time you sing it, your voice will adapt to the melody and pitch changes more naturally....good luck...i'm looking forward to hearing your rendition on SS! |

In my opinion, there really is no set way to perform a rock song. There are many vocalists with many different styles that sing rock music. Take for instance Geoff Tate from Queensryche, his style is almost operatic, and there considered a metal band actually, just go with what you know, don't think that you need gravelly vocals or soaring high notes to be a rock singer, just be you. |

I sing mostly rock. You just have to have fun with it. It's like any other music, if you fell it, let it out, let it control you. |

I think he means if you FEEL it, let it out. There is no right or wrong way to sing rock. You have to have the right sound if you want it right. Someone who sings Glen Cambell perfectly is not going to be able to sing Nickelback necessarily well. |

A couple notes here. I tend to sing deeper songs (Tennessee Ernie Ford, Louis Armstrong, etc). I can sing these songs from my gut and do a pretty good job. When I sing Rock I have to switch to a 'head voice' to get into the range these are sung. Remember, you don't have to have a real powerful voice for rock songs. I tend to sing some songs, especially the ballads like 'Something to believe in' and Tesla's 'Signs', using almost a melodic speaking voice at a fairly low volume (especially when compared to other songs I sing). The more you sing a rock song the better adapted you become to singing them. I do recommend you don't sing them one right after another if you're pushing yourself to sing in the range. Sing something more comfortable to start out and then work up to a rock song or two and then back off for a bit and then come back to them later. Stay hydrated before, during and after the singing and if it starts hurting - QUIT! If your voice hurts stop for a couple days to let it recuperate. I'm no vocal coach and these are things I do that work for me. As I said I can do anything from Tennessee Ernie Ford's 'Sixteen Tons', Jimmy Dean's 'Big Bad John', Louis Armstrong and Fats Domino to AC/DC and Guns 'n' Roses on the other end. I'm not trying to brag but you can build your range by working with different 'voices' and songs to find what works for you. My experience may or may not be typical so go with what works for you and keep on singing! I hope this is the type of 'help' you were looking for.... there was a really good discussion on this in the Singer's Forum a while back. You might want to try a search for it as there was a VERY good explanation of head voice and singing rock in that thread. |
