I wanna sing like Dave Groul!

GarethHayes	Date: July 21, 2005 @ 2:37 PM Whenever I try get my voice to sound loud and intense, I usually go off tune or my voice struggles. Are there any techniques to develop my voice? Thanks
chrismacmanus	Date: July 21, 2005 @ 4:34 PM I couldn't help you, never heard of this Groul guy - or is he the singer outta the Fou Fouters?
GarethHayes	Date: July 21, 2005 @ 5:01 PM Thats it It's Foo Fighters though! But close enough!
BlackMage	Date: July 22, 2005 @ 2:31 AM I think the Fou Fouters was a direct reference to the obvious misspelling of Dave Grohl. (Captain Obvious strikes again) I could be wrong tho'.
chrismacmanus	Date: July 23, 2005 @ 9:34 AM Don't think we're daeling with the sharpest tool in the box
GarethHayes	Date: July 23, 2005 @ 10:19 AM Well, considering I didn't know how to spell his surname in the first place - you can't really blame me for not getting 'it'. I really don't appreciate the sarcasm either. You could of just corrected me nicely without trying to embarass me whilst trying to be funny.
chrismacmanus	Date: July 23, 2005 @ 10:29 AM You've no sense of humour
BlackMage	Date: July 23, 2005 @ 4:46 PM Captain Obvious has come to the rescue for the second(!) time already. When will he be stopped? Stay tuned!" id="144147">Captain Obvious has come to the rescue for the second(!) time already. When will he be stopped? Stay tuned!
chrismacmanus	Date: July 24, 2005 @ 10:42 AM Think it might have been getting a bit sour there - I'll take back my comments - Sorry.
Mattyleswan	Date: August 2, 2005 @ 12:06 PM Come on guys, it was a good question - despite the mis-spelling, and I'd like to know the answer. How can I sing like Grohl, or Stayley, or Weiland, or the guy out of Sinch?
just2ska	Date: August 5, 2005 @ 11:44 PM try practicing.
madpoet5150	Date: August 13, 2005 @ 2:47 AM Why would you want to sing like him of all singers?
Snoogans775	Date: August 17, 2005 @ 1:04 AM damn, harsh, and not even that funny. but shucks. Gene Hilbert has a great saying, "singing is jsut controlled yelling", the reason you crack when you ge ttough is because you're overworking you're throat, loosed up your vocal cords, and force air through your vocal cords with your belly(or diaphragm, same k'thing)
laalaaloo	Date: October 5, 2005 @ 7:37 PM I think Drugs, Alcahol an a hole lotta lovin help make vocals like Grohl
Guest	Date: March 21, 2009 @ 5:27 AM Dave Grohl smokes, drinks coffee and ALWAYS chews gum while he's singing. I'm not much of a smoker, but the coffee and chewing gum help me get that kind of dry singing voice of his and lubricate my vocal cords for 'screaming', respectively.
Guest	Date: March 21, 2009 @ 7:05 AM Why not sing like Gareth Hayes? There's already been a Dave Grohl, and he'll probably end up with laryngitis.
zedsalt	Date: March 21, 2009 @ 9:39 AM I wanna smell like Shakira.

Mojosnake	Date: March 21, 2009 @ 1:09 PM mmmmmmmmmm.fishy......
vilifiend	Date: March 21, 2009 @ 1:33 PM i want shakira to smell me i dunno? practice controlling your throat. a little throat restriction goes a long way. and its not all tone. rough vocals singing mary had a little lamb would be just a retarded mary had a little lamb. its style too.
vilifiend	Date: March 21, 2009 @ 3:23 PM why not just say you wanna grungy voice instead of singing like dave? you wont ever sound like dave, the best youl sound is a mock of him caus he is him. you will never be happy. find your own voice

Guest	Date: March 30, 2009 @ 5:02 PM I wanna make my voice sound "crackier" But I can't quiet make it, any suggestions of how get started? I mean I always end up hurting my throat by doing the things I've tried so far. Please give me an answer, and I'd appreciate tips and trick aswell. PS. sorry for the bad english, I tried atleast.
zedsalt	Date: March 31, 2009 @ 9:09 AM If you're feeling it in your throat, you're going about it wrong. I know I'm always saying that there is no such thing as "wrong" when it comes to Art, but...well, I'll say, instead, that if you want a rasp that not's quite as rich-sounding, can't be sustained for long (start losing it before you've sung a whole set AND cuts your singing career short), and wrecks your ability to sing any other way, get the roughness from your throat. If you want a rich, bluesy rasp that you can do all night for your whole life, get the rasp from your diaphragm. I'm sure there's some sort of vocal coach out there with a method for teaching how to do so. I just tripped across it and have been relying on my physical memory ever since.
Guest	Date: March 31, 2009 @ 10:22 AM Okay, well I'm trying to get a sound that sounds like Dave Grohl or like the Singer of Hinder... Well maybe I should Try to ask a Vocal Coach. Thanks for the answer
Distilled1	Date: March 31, 2009 @ 1:33 PM you either have that "crackle" or you don't. IMHO ... I am certainly no vocal coach. But I can get the Joe Cocker bluesy loud rasp going, and its darn hard. as well I loose it after a while and end up doing falsetto and it tares my throat up. Your voice is your voice that to me is how you should sound, in tune/key is the best bet. But to try and sing in a style/voicing that isn't yours or that you can not do yet seems to me to be along the lines of karaoke.
zedsalt	Date: April 1, 2009 @ 9:23 AM It's so good to hear Mr. Cocker in such fine form again! He credits the change to quitting smoking, but he also virtually eliminated his use of hard liquor about the same time, so I have to wonder if maybe that didn't help. A buddy of mine went to a Joe Cocker show back in the late '60s/early '70s. The officers got the really good seats; my bud and his shipmates were close to the stage, but way over to one side. That's how he got a good look at Cocker walking just behind the speaker columns, vomiting, wiping off his face, then going back to the show. As I've mentioned in some other threads, I know from experience what passing nasty stuff across one's vocal cords can do. But Cocker is a good example of someone who heard other singers with that "grit" and took it on himself as an affectation. He didn't "just have it"; he "made it his".
