How do you sing screamo?

7

I need to learn to scream for a band im in. Any tips on how to do it? Thanks

Don’t.
That’s not even good music, deathmetal can be good at times but really, if you’re going to try to be the next Oliver Sykes then just stop right now. That music is horrible and I say that from the heart. If you’re wanting to become big or something great than I suggest doing something like Chiodos, at least we can understand at all times what they’re saying. But as for the rest of ’screamo’ bands, they are extremely horrible. And also if you don’t know how to do it, I suggest not even trying. That sounded bad but if you don’t have much experience with how to do it, don’t. You can obviously try but it will eventually sound bad in the end.
On a positive note, practice, practice, practice.

How to improve the diction when singing highest notes? (like A6, B6, C7, D7, etc)?

1


Persistence. You have to master the vowels before the consonants. Don’t push them out, because you will either go sharp, flat, or damage your voice badly. Tongue-twisters and diction exercises will improve your singing speech overall. What helps me is knowing the soft consonants and the hard consonants, to distinguish which ones that should be emphasized.

soft:

F
H
L
P
R
S
T
W

hard:

B
D
G
J
K
M
N
V
Z

Of course, the hard consonants should be heard more than the soft ones. I just recently competed in UIL Choir. In one of our songs, we had to sing "round". One of the most difficult things to do, as a soprano, was dentalizing the "D"…it was a high note. And with "K"…if it’s not clear, the whole word is swallowed. You almost have to add a vowel on another beat to get the sound out. "duh", "kuh", etc.
Don’t close it up after you’ve sung a high consonant. Open it up again immediately; this does wonders for the "S" and "T". These are the most delicate consonants.

Anyone here knows how to rip specific Karaoke songs from a DVD video disc?

7

Well, my mum like bought this Karaoke DVD that she’d like to sing along with. It has like 200 karaoke songs on the that one disc and out of that 200 karaoke songs she’s heard, only 6 of them she likes! The question here is, how exactly do I rip these 6 specific Karaoke songs from a DVD video disc?

At first I thought it must be a piece of cake, because I thought the songs are like in wav file formats or mp3 formats. But when I checked the DVD, it was all like in these vob and bup and those IFO file formats! I can’t just copy them onto HDD and burn them onto a CD so my mum can listen to them! (There’s probably 20 songs or more in each one of those vob, ifo and bup files! and don’t know which of them contains the songs my mum likes!) Those are DVD movie/video files! How do I convert those into the specific karaoke songs my mum likes? is there some sort of software that I might be like DVDFab but probably called CDFAB! that converts DVDs into CDs….?

I recommend you Pavtube DVD Ripperr.
Pavtube DVD Ripper is professional DVD Ripper soaftware to rip dvd to videos. It is practical without failing to perform in an outstanding way. It is versatile application and users can use it either to backup DVD to hard disk or to convert DVD movies to AVI, WMV, MPG, MP4, MOV, and 3GP, AAC, MP3, W4A, WMA, WAV and AC3 etc. In addition, it can convert DVD to iPod, iPhone, Zune, Creative Zen, iRiver, PSP, Xbox360, Pocket PC and Apple TV etc. Pavtube DVD Ripper rips fast and exports excellence only.

Online/DVD Vocal Lessons?

1

I’m wanting to become a rock singer and start a band in few years so I’m wanting to maybe try and take some vocal lessons.

I don’t really have the money to hire an actual vocal coach so I was wondering if there are some good vocal lessons online or if their are any good vocal lesson DVDs?

Thanks

You can’t teach yourself to sing for free any more than you can teach yourself to play the guitar for free… IT TAKES A TEACHER if you really want to learn. Singing is even more critical because YOU CAN’T HEAR YOURSELF SING.. it takes a trained tea chef to help you.

You NEED an agent to get auditions for Disney Channel, Nick, and ABC Family! Any site or person who promises such auditions is a SCAM! ONLY agents have access to such auditions.

The ONLY LEGIT Online sites that you can find jobs on your own through:
ALL SITES NOT LISTED BELOW ARE QUESTIONABLE!

-LACasting.com
-Nowcasting.com
-NYCasting.com
-NYCastings.com

Free but proceed with caution:
-Castingcallsearch.com
-Mandy.com
-Craigslist

5. Get an Agent

Look up LEGIT agencies here:
http://www.agentassociation.com/

http://www.sag.org/content/find-agent

To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won’t see you unless you’re SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.

You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:
-Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.
-Attend a showcase and impress them. By showcase I do not mean scammy conventions like IMTA, IPOP, Proscout, or Best New Talent. I mean legit ones like at Actor Connection, Reel pros, Network Studios, etc.
-Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you’re interested in

DON’T
-Email them unless they tell you to. IT’S UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!
-Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent’s ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.

Live Your Life Purpose: Soul Inspired Goal Setting For 2009 – ABC Action Guide

0

A. Where Are You Now?

Let’s get started by taking a good look at your life the way it is today. Do this exercise by filling out filling out your Life Wheel. Draw a circle on a blank piece of paper, divide it into the following 8 sections; 1.Career/Business 2.Finances 3.Health & Self Care 4.Intimacy/Significant Other 5.Social, Fun & Recreation 6.Personal/Spiritual Growth 7.Family, Friends & Community 8.Physical Environment.

Complete all the categories listed in the wheel by using words to describe your current experience and by ranking your level of satisfaction. Rank your satisfaction on a scale from 1 -10, with 1 being poor or almost non-existent and 10 is very good.

B. Get Inner Guidance

To create a life that you love is about filling it with doings, people, things and experiences that reflect your essence and what you are in harmony with. To choose well you need to know yourself well. Self discovery is a journey that is always ongoing, and it is helpful to use several different ways to learn about you.

In this article I am sharing some of my favorite tools to help you get to know who you are truly. This knowing will allow you to plant the seeds that will grow into a life of greater meaning, success and fulfillment…

1. Journaling

Even if you think you have nothing to write, sit down with pen and paper and see what comes out. Relax your mind and begin to write your dreams, remember that you are only writing for your eyes so there are no worries about other’s judgment, possible resentment and you already have all the skills, empowerment and money you need to dream big!

According to Universal Law, if you can think it you also have the capacities to manifest it. In other words, you are only able to tap into the inspiring ideas from the “universal vault of unending possibilities” that you can accomplish. Consider this statement seriously and keep writing down your dreams and visions on a regular basis. The consistency of this activity allows you to fine tune where your inspired heart is pulling you.

Another approach to journaling that is especially useful if you feel stuck is to ask your “higher self” questions in Q&A format. Here is an example. On a blank page in your journal, write “Q:” followed by your question, if you don’t even know what to ask, you can ask “what question do I need to ask to connect with my true desire?” On the next row write “A:” and wait for the answer to come to you, be in a relaxed state and don’t force. At times the answer may come almost instantly, at other times you may have to wait days or weeks… What is important here is to not give up; you will get your answer when you are ready for it…

2. Slow Down and Listen to Your Inner Voice

Most of us are too busy with day-to-day stuff to hear the message from our faint inner voices. This is important to get authentic direction in your life, and no one else can do this for you, only you can hear your inner voice.

Begin by making the decision to spend time with you. Give yourself a quiet space in your home, in nature or where you find peace. Be sure to minimize sensory stimulation, which means being away from bright lights, loud noise and other distractions. Since there is no off button on your mind, make it quiet by bringing your awareness to the rhythm of your breath, take deep, slow breaths and just be in the present moment. Release thoughts pulling you back to your past, they are not who you are. Release all thoughts pulling you towards the future, since they are not who you are. Just be in the moment and connect to the power that is always there for you but only when you unlock it by being totally present.

In this relaxed and intensely present state, allow yourself to step out of time and space and reach out to the formless universe that is always surrounding you. When you inner voice whispers or speaks to you, listen attentively and bring its wisdom with you as you re-enter your daily life and the world of form.

Have a date with yourself on a regular basis, and you will discover that it becomes easier to hear your inner voice whisper guidance for each step of your journey.

3. Get a Hand Analysis Life Purpose Reading and Learn Your Unique Success Map

What may take you years to discover on your own, you will learn in just one hour when you invest in yourself and get a Hand Analysis Life Purpose Reading… This may sound too good to be true, but your hands are actually a map of your soul psychology and personality. Your fingerprints reveal your soul’s calling or if you prefer your Life Purpose.

The fingerprints also bring your Life Lesson out of the dark. Your Life Lesson is your blind spot where you tend to get stuck and hold back. Learning your life lesson, and how to “work it” so it doesn’t keep you stuck, is fundamental to your future success. You may be able to figure out your Life Purpose on your own, but I have never met anyone who has uncovered their life lessons themselves (it is called your blind spot for a reason…)

Your hands also reveal your Personality, Temperament and potential Gift Markings. Gift Markings are present in around 30% of the population and are explosions of energy you need an outlet for in your life, or they will go into penalty mode which is no fun… In other words, the information in your hands reveals your unique energies that will always be at work in your life. By knowing what they are you can make conscious decisions to make them work for you, instead of against you.

C. Use Your Personal Insights as You Plan Your Year

After strengthening your communication within yourself, and hopefully also having a Life Purpose Reading, return to the Life Wheel, but this time write down specific goals that you would like to achieve in each area of your life by the end of 2009. Be sure to allow your insights gained from your improved internal communication, and from learning your unique Life Purpose & Lesson, to influence the goals you set in all categories of your Life Wheel.

Draw several copies of the Life Wheel and write specific goals for each spoke of your “Life Wheel”. Begin with a 1 year goal, and continue by breaking the goals down into more manageable pieces. Write a version for where you want to be in 6 months, in 3 months, in 1 month and use the “Life Wheel” to write down your weekly action steps. And don’t forget to get the satisfaction of checking them off as you accomplish your goals…) Good luck and don’t forget that all success is had one baby step at a time!
