because I don't want to develop the habit of singing like that then haveing
to break that habit to sing another style. For some reason habits stick to
me, i.e. I wanted to learn to sing/scream like Chester from Linkin Park, so
I did, took about a month but I can now do it (of course not with his
voice), however now anytime I try to scream (for songs) it comes out like
Chester's with that growliness and I can't stop it argggg..... And that's
pretty much why I want to find a teacher who can teach me more with rock,
or at least know rock himself, but unfortunately I know not where to find
him, sigh.

from Reg....
I think Lloyd has often made the point that when a
singer "makes a song his own" by singing it in his
particular style (Frank Sinatra... Bing etc) it becomes
difficult for the audience to accept it in any other style.
I would hazard a guess that most people are well
accustomed to having heard "Happy Birthday" sung in
all sorts of drawls, drunken states and sweetly.
Which do you suggest is the valid performance? :)
I accept them all. Reg.
