How Can I Learn To Sing Power Metal?
I’m new to singing and would like to sing Power Metal. I’d like to do something similar to Kamelot or maybe Versailles. Where do I start learning?
I’ve been playing guitar for quite some time and have a well developed ear.
Singing takes alot of practise, confidence and energy. You can easily damage your voice if you go straight to something you’re not used to. Power metal is very clear, and high energy with some extremely high notes. Something i have worked myself up to. Males seem to do the high notes well, using a ‘falsetto’ voice amazingly.
It’s this falsetto, meaning the high part of your voice, that you need to learn how to use properly to do power.
I would strongly suggest lessons, naturally. You need to learn how to breathe, speak clearly and use that falsetto.
In the mean time go back to your roots by listening to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. If you like power, u should check out Lord and/or Dungeon. Australian bands. EXCELLENT use of pitch. Listen with intent, give it a go, try everything until you get the right sound.
check out a video called the art of screaming. It has all the exercises you need. Its not just for screaming, its the vocal exercises needed to not ruin your vocal chords
