How do you growl?

Answer 1

There are two ways to growl. The good, safe, harmless way. And the overaggressive way that will make you go mute. To do the safe way: 1) Drink milk! Build up that phloem also, warm water to relax your vocal cords. 2) Start by trying to make a "dying old man" sound. It may not be results like Bullet For My Valentine or Slipknot, but its a start. 3) Be sure your making the noise by making your tonsils and that Adam's Apple thing go slightly up. Tt will be a little uncomfortable but NOT HURT!!! If it hurts, you are doing it WRONG and will cause DAMAGE. 4) If you're doing it right, try to make words. You will need to over-exaggerate to make the right sounds come out. If you wanna be cool, as you get better, try to make it look dramatic. 5) Be sure to always change your pitch with your lips and tongue, never vocal cords. 6) After you can make words, try playing with the pitch. Make it go deep and then high. (No extremes though! Don't try to go from as high as Suicide Silence and then plummet down to as deep as Psycroptic) 7) The second you start to get even a little sore, call it a day and try again tomorrow. Don't wanna kill those precious vocal cords. 8) Always make sure you have good airflow through your lungs. Try using your diaphragm to get a harsher sound when you get better. TO DO IT THE WRONG WAY: 1) Drink beer. Be sure to eat away at those vocal cords! 2) Smoke! The weaker the lungs, the weaker the sound! 3) Force it! Overdoing it and going mute is every metal head's dream! 4) Practice in the middle of a crowd of orchestra students! The more embarrassment the better! (DO NOT FOLLOW THE STEPS OF DOING IT THE WRONG WAY) -Mike PS, you need to take a break if you voice gets fixed up and really deep. Try waiting a day. Going mute means NEVER TALKING AGAIN!!!

To growl, make a low, guttural sound by constricting your throat muscles while exhaling. Experiment with the positioning of your tongue and the tension in your vocal cords to achieve different tones and levels of intensity. Practice regularly to build up your vocal strength and control.
