How To: Power Metal Screaming! 


This is an often-requested video, but for the record... I absolutely do not claim to be the best at this style singing, by any means! It's a technique I learned on my own (and cobbled together from a lot of other techniques for health's sake) for reaching terrifying vocal heights with power and grit. Great for power metal, classic heavy metal, and hard rock. I hope this is helpful to you :) 

Please don't hesitate to comment any voice questions you might have!! I'll do my best to answer :) 

If it hurts, check this out! It might help ya :)  

Cover: "Forever" by Kamelot (plus I have a new YouTube Channel!) 


I STARTED A NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL!

As anyone with an inkling of creativity in their system knows, an artist's influences, tastes and abilities change and develop over time, just as one's personality matures with each new experience. I've been making YouTube videos since I was 15 and have decided that it's finally time to make a new, official channel, for all my things metal and dishevelled composery.

This has been a long time coming (Jack and I filmed this in January! Haha), but here's "Forever" by KAMELOT. I had a good time stretching my power metal chops, and I hope you'll enjoy it too smile emoticon

"A treacherous lioness butchered the governors…of Roman rule" (Roman historian Gildas)

Queen Boudicca: A Metal Opera tells the story of Boudicca, queen of the ancient Britons, who led a devastating revolt against Roman occupation.  Her story is one of the greatest tales of courage and heroism in Celtic history, one that every school child would know - if Boudicca had been a man.

The production features Berklee alumna Ava Gaudet as Queen Boudicca. Gaudet has appeared on Broadway as Maureen and Mimi in Rent and has numerous film and television credits including N.C.I.S., Mike and Molly, The Exes, and Private Practice.

Queen Boudicca: A Metal Opera includes current Berklee students in the Metal band, metal and traditional vocal soloists, strings, woodwinds, and Berklee’s Crepesculum choir.  Reproductions of unique ancient Celtic instruments like the Carnyx War Trumpet; and a distant ancestor of the modern guitar: the Warrior’s Lyre.  Though silent for thousands of years, these instruments appear for the first time in the 21st century in Queen Boudicca: A Metal Opera .

Queen Boudicca: A Metal Opera is an original dramatic opera composed by Robert E. Schlink, associate professor in Berklee's Ensemble Department, and his son; Berklee alumnus Robert C. Schlink; and is directed by RI director and actor, Carol Schlink.
