SLIPKNOT, LAMB OF GOD's 'Scream' Teacher To Release DVD Next Month
January 25, 2006Voice coach Melissa Cross will release her DVD of techniques for screaming singers, "The Zen of Screaming", on February 21.
In the early '90s, a passionate and unrestrained new breed of rock singers began a journey to the extreme limits of the human voice. Heeding the call of this army of screaming warriors, forward-thinking vocal coach Melissa Cross developed a training program for the pioneers of the genre to preserve their vocal cords without compromising an ounce of their trademarked passion. Combining solid voice technique and a groundbreaking vocal workout with tour-bus humor and backstage commentary, "The Zen of Screaming" is as entertaining as it is informative. This DVD/CD is the first of its kind and a must-have tool for the modern vocalist. The instruction includes invaluable tips on vocal maintenance, actual vocal cord footage, and explicit and helpful animations which illustrate and illuminate the specific vocal exercises. Interspersed is exclusive backstage and performance footage of today's most exciting artists, with candid offstage interviews and opportunities to see these artists actually working in-studio with Melissa. Featured vocalists include Andrew W.K., LAMB OF GOD's D. Randall Blythe, SHADOWS FALL's Brian Fair, EVERY TIME I DIE's Keith Buckley, GOD FORBID's Byron Davis, Melissa Auf der Maur and more!
