A study of Crawl Away by Tool
Over the past month or more I've been working on a study of sorts trying to get down the vocals for Crawl Away by Tool. It seemed like a good piece because there are long, drawn-out notes with heavier grit. I think I've gotten it to a place I'm satisfied with, although I probably am actually using more distortion than he does in the song. But I figured, hey, it is the skill I'm trying to learn so I may as well step it up a notch. This recording is after countless takes to get the very best ones, granted I was learning the more aggressive stuff more or less from scratch over that time. This is the vocals only, so I uploaded it to SoundCloud so you can see the waveform and skip over the silent parts. It was recorded through a compressor but otherwise it's completely dry. https://soundcloud.com/to_the_sun/crawl-away-a-cappella
Can You Get Grit Without Using A Hyoid Pull?
I've learned a lot about the hyoid pull in this community and it definitely works, but I am kind of getting the idea that it is impossible to create distortion without a hyoid pull when actually, you are the first coach I've seen mention a hyoid pull. I read Raise Your Voice by Jamie Vendera. I saw no mention of a hyoid pull or anything similar in the book. Yet other coaches get their grit with twang instead, such as CVT certified coach Mateus Sibila, who demonstrates how to create grit only using twang in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAugpkANBOc Instead of using a hyoid pull, he uses twang to create grit for singing. The thing I find appealing about this is that he says that in addition to creating grit, twang helps get rid of unwanted breathiness from our voice for singing or screaming. He elaborates: "Twang is created by narrowing the epiglottic funnel which amplifies and compresses the sound. Twang also helps to set the position of our throat, larynx, palate and tongue for getting a healthy distortion to scream and sing with rasp. Examples of bands are Guns N' Roses, Alice In Chains, Godsmack and many others including Metallica." Finally, Aliki Katriou says that Kargyraa is her favorite way to create false fold distortion, since unlike the other two ways, it is direct - not passive. She likes that the main pro of Kargyraa is it gives you the most muscular control and says the main downside to it is the pitch range you're able to achieve with it.
