I've been meaning to post about my progress, but every day there's more of it, so anything I would post would be automatically outdated. I did have a bit of a revelation I wanted to share though. I've been watching that vocal distortion part two video every day and I thought I basically understood the purpose of making that dopey sound you demonstrate while saying "powah become death." But I realized today I wasn't doing enough of it. You actually can pull it back and down into that shape even further, and it feels like it almost opens up your throat a little. Of course you have to keep the resonant anchor vibrating in the middle of your head/top of your mouth. Otherwise, I imagine you would just loosen up your throat which, I know from experience, will tear you up right away. But if you start high and then pull it back and down into that shape while keeping the resonant anchor vibrating, the throat gets wider but stays flexed, and you get way deeper, way more powerful distortion out of it. Definitely hard to explain in words. And of course, I've just begun to understand it, but I feel like I had to share because I'm excited to see where this goes.
