My trick for explaining how to get axls tone is think of Margaret Hamilton's wicked witch "ill get you my pretty and your little dog too" if you can say that like Margaret Hamilton, take that into a singing voice and you can figure out axls tone from there.

This is GAWDAMMED WONDERFUL!

i thinked that i was doing my rasp right but while waching this video i found a better way, thank you sir! other way can cause a little discomfort but this way feel comfortabble i think i was using somenthing in middle like my fake vocal chords and real

Have you watched agt ?❤

This is really helpful! I've seen many videos on how to get this kind of rasp, and i think yours sounds the closest to Chester's. Thank you!

Hey Jim, thanks for all the explanation and guidance. It seems whenever I am trying to apply compression, it seems instead of my gut, it is my throat that is controlling the airflow and as a result my throat starts hurting within a few minutes.I am getting your concept but somehow not able to apply it practically, do you have any golden advice for me ?

I can actually see inside your false cords man 🫢 but you can be a great teacher really! People, including me are struggling with false cord and fry screams :)

Try throat singing with twang for a beefy sound

I didn't realize those were fish. I thought you were holding balloons and were about to demonstrate breath support lol

Can you record video about how to sing like joey tempest?

imagine the breath that you inhale counter balancing the phrase that your about to sing which you already know well. I struggled with really high notes for years until during a show in Hawaii where in anticipation of a famous high note, i took a giant breath then spotainiously realized that with my vocal cords getting ready by getting stretched with a smaller gap that this humongous breath i just took is not going to make it through this tiny space. So right then I decided to let about half that breath out through my nose but I just didn't want it to show. While letting most of that breath out I then reached up to the note(s) and nailed it with ease and learned a valuable lesson for the remainder of my singing career. For high notes, less air intake or let some air out...and then Hit It!

I was thinking that if you can sing quietly, then you should be able to sing louder if you want in time, but having that control is the difference between singing and pushing ….and possibly hurting your voice. Then the opposite could be true, if you can sing loud, you should be able to sing quietly and if you can.’t , There’s probably an issue in the execution as well like not enough support. I guess bottom line is both should feel The same and you shouldn’t change something in the technique to go from quiet to loud(or I could be wrong lol)

Awesome, Jim! Yeah, years ago I would literally BLAST everyone and my kids and wife were like, you're too loud! And I was like, I'm projecting! Well, I WAS too loud. Working on pulling back especially as I get higher in my range and this a great reminder about practicing quietly. And, that it can be done! :)

This sounded more like whitney houston at the end than it did axl.

Thank you Jim. I put out so much energy I burn out within the first song. I’m working on your program to control. Thank you. My moniker says a lot about who I am

singing in the shower …

There are voices that can be mimicked but there is a rare voice that can't be achieved without a miracle. The miracle is Adam's voice , the all time best.

Oh and John Mayer hahahaha

Dave Grohl a songwriting great hahaha

I get jack nicholson vibes from this guy lol

I’ll never understand why most people say Sammy was the better singer. Sam is good but he could never do those high pitched screams that Dave did. Dave also had a much wider range.

This is good!

Yo I have the tone right almost, but the one thing I can’t get is the scream Can you make a video on how to scream with power, because when I do it, it only sounds like rasp without the intensity of a scream I can get his songs like come as you are but I can’t get the tone for smells like teen spirit, I can’t get the intensity please respond

Simple but great advice!!

Jim, you are a singer/teacher after my own heart. I see so much of myself in you and your vocal explorations. I feel like I’ve found a kindred spirit. Thanks for all you do!

covide was a waste of my life

i can tell you from my own experience that Jim is a great teacher and the value of his lessons is a huge "bang for the buck". Thanks Jim!

Oli Sykes keeps putting his left hand on his abs too and he has crazy compression

Funny thought but in all seriousness if i gotta sing nursery rhymes to one of my hard rock tracks in order to train myself i will ha ha! But man dude everything you've said makes sense though

We do love you ❤

Hi Jim i really really appreciate your videos and your advice i feel is gonna help me i cant sing anymore and its been 8 years since i have and i just got back into making rock music again including metal but i just cant seem to understand why i sound so bad i know projecting is part of my issue but your advice in support make so much sense thank you i am glad i found your channel its so funny though cos all of my music tracks are radio ready even my lyrics just not my voice right now i go back and listen to my voice after recording is done and i sound off key my timing is bad just keeps going but if you have any further advice to help me so i can pursue my dreams i am all ears thanks Jim

Watching the video now. At 7:06 into it, this sounds like fry to me - not rasp or grit. Now, I'm not a Kurt Cobain fan, so maybe fry was what he wanted but what you're doing at 7:06 and what Kurt does in the chorus of Smells Like Teen Spirit (grit) or even what someone like Layne Staley does in The Rooster (grit) is quite different in sound than fry. Matter of fact, fry doesn't even require you to hold air back or the "lift something heavy" (which never did anything for me except provide an excellent way of building muscle tension dysphonia) technique. I realize you put a lot of work into this, but to me, that heavy fry sound without actual grit, isn't something I'd want to listen to. I'm not a Cobain fan though. Grit sounds (not fry but grit) don't have that sound of a car slamming on its breaks and hearing the tires skid and the squealing sound that comes from that. Grit (not fry) what Ronnie James Dio used, it's what Rob Halford uses, it's what James Hetfield uses, it's what David Coverdale used and it's quite different from fry. Whereas fry sounds like tires skidding, grit sounds like driving over gravel. It's got a crunch to it and it sounds cool. I've heard that Coabin's voice would beb trashed after recording one song and he'd even cough up blood. Kurt Cobain isn't my idea of a disciplined user of excellent technique in guitar playing, in singing or in any aspect of life. I believe if he'd lived continued to sing the way he did, he would have run into serious vocal problems, but being a junkie has never been conducive to developing a strong, disciplined work ethic or an interest in maintaining career longevity because longevity and heroin don't go together.

As I sit down to watch this, I'd just like to ask one thing: Do you think you'll still be making a video dedicated to doing wtaht I'd guess is called a "growl" whether you want to call it a Danzig (in Mother) or a Tom Keifer growl like you hear in many Cinderella songs or a Christina Aguilera type growl (like in "Dirrty")? No other rock teacher that I've ever heard of has a video on this, so if you were to do it, I would think it would be very appreciated by a lot of people. I don't quite understand it but I bet there's a lot of others who also don't quite know how to do it, but would love to do a Danzig or Keifer or Aguilera type growl!

good tips!

Adam Gontier has the most unique voice in rock history, im sure of it, its for me maybe because his songs saved me from a lot of stuff, and his voice just means so much to me. But nice video, i respect your opiniouns, and im glad for this video, thank you

Awesome. This was very helpful. I think it's wholesome when artists share their knowledge. Thank you sir.

I reach here all the way from AGT !😊

Wow you got a bonjovi kinda tone.. nice tutorial 🤝😁

Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury, Bruno Mars, 3 of the greatest singers of all time.

He was 18yo when he recorded Begging, now he's 25 and despite the fact he was already a good singer, I think he got better and better, his voice and technique have improved immensely. Also he's a smart singer, using his voice like a musical instrument and doing plenty of variations and adding clever details. Live he truly shine, he's basically better than the record every time.
