Pig squeal questions

~~coryallen2~~ · 05-12-2009, 07:50 AM

Okay so I am in a band that needs a pig squeal vocalist. I tried out and they like the way mine sounds. My question is.

I do inhale reeps is there a higher risk of f*cking my voice up this way? Than with my normal screams?

No, its just as safe as screaming if you do it properly.

I can do low screams high scream low squeals and high squeals. Theo nly thign that happens is my throat hurts for a day or two.

Am I hallucinating or are you asking for advice on how to squeal like a pig?

Try drinking some warm milk before screaming. It coats the throat pretty well which should help with the pain a bit. You'll eventually get used to it though.

Hey that's a pretty good idea. Or I could cheat ans just scream a little quieter and turn the amp up. HAHA

You would never get the same aggression that way. Best way is to calice your throat to sound full throated when you scream i.e. Jimmy Ryan or Phil from All that Remains. Just do it over and over again until your voice gets used to it... eventually you'll sound like Steven Tyler when you talk, but it's worth it.
