That was Pretty Crazy

I saw this You Tube video of How to sing Like Tim Armstrong from Rancid. This lady did an interesting job in teaching. She said could only do it once or twice because would break her vocal chords. She said sing from the nose or some crap. She never really sang like Tim Armstrong but did understand how to sing the song she was referring to, A lot of people know how to sing those songs but no one ever tries to sound like Tim. He has such a rough voice, why would anyone, other than youngsters trying to rebel against the system. Never try to sing like that, it will mess up your throat,l I do not know, they looking for that punk sound. There is only one person I can think who can sing like Christina Aguilera and have the out of tune voice that kind of sounds cool. Courtney Love's vocal range was more like Tim Armstrongs. That is just their vocal sound, no matter how hard they try. They will never be good singers, but they are geniuses in making music to their bad vocal abilities. I think that is why it sounds so cool. My world always taught me we make do with what we have. This lady however can sound amazing or sound like punk people with no vocal range.She erased all her non punk ones, but her punk voice is not her real voice. She is one of the few that can actually distort her voice to sound like a female Tim Armstrong. This is still left, she could not erase this I guess. This is her natural voice and guess is a bit deeper than many females, so probably not a hard transition to sound rough like a man in punk music. Her voice is still amazing compared to most punk rockers.
