Björn Strid, le chanteur de Soilwork, partage quelques conseils pour mieux chanter. En effet, le musicien a récemment été interviewé pour The Metal Tris à propos du nouvel album de Soilwork intitulé Verkligheten. Entre deux questions, le chanteur a partagé sa perspective sur ce qui fait un bon chanteur.
D’après lui, afin d’effectuer de bons cris, il faut se concentrer sur la prononciation. Crier fort, mais surtout de manière claire. Quant au chant, il considère que travailler sur son falsetto (voix de tête) est la chose la plus importante. Une fois que le registre le plus haut est maîtrisé, le reste devrait suivre.

When it comes to screams, I think it’s always been important to me that no matter if you’re growling or whatever, you need to enunciate every word. Sort of like Tom Araya (Slayer) always has done — you can hear every word he’s screaming, and he’s screaming his lungs out. That has always been very inspiring to me. Jon Nödtveidt from Dissection was one of my faves as well — still is. I think that makes a good Metal singer — the presence in the voice, too, which is so hard to define exactly what that is. You just feel it. Clean vocals, it’s been taking some time, and I think this is going to sound weird, but I’ve been working a lot on my falsetto, and I think that’s really the key to all kinds of singing. If you build up a really strong falsetto, you will definitely have the stamina to pull off the rest… I think you can hear that with singers if they have a strong falsetto, because it gives a different tone to the voice as well.
