Online Metal Vocal Coach: Master Resonant Pitched Screaming & Extreme Vocals
I am Solidude, the Metal Monk.
Metal vocals are mental vocals. I show you the biomechanics of sustainable, massive, melodic metal vocals and, along the way, help you overcome the mental hurdles holding you back.

Are You Struggling to Find Your True, Aggressive Voice?
You hear those massive, resonant, Gojira-style heavy melodic screams, and you yearn to convey your innermost world outward with that same power. But right now, you are hitting a wall.
Maybe you are blowing out your voice trying to get distortion. Maybe you can't blend true cord pitch with grit. You wonder is that fry or false cord distortion or something else entirely? Or maybe, the biggest hurdle isn't physical at all—it's mental. You feel ashamed, blocked, and afraid to fully let go.
I know exactly how that feels, because I lived it.
The Way of the Metal Monk: 50% Biomechanics, 50% Mental Unblocking
I always sucked as a singer. Nothing came naturally to me. For 10 years, I struggled and failed, making zero progress towards the metal vocals I heard in my head. I felt like I had no voice in this world.
But slowly, I learned to break down the entire singing process. I realized that unlocking a massive metal voice could benefit from my insights from meditation and taichi. I started connecting raw feelings to the physical anatomy behind them.
When all the parts finally clicked, it unlocked my true, resonant, powerful voice. Soft or aggressive. When you truly unlock your voice, it works for everything. Let me show you how.
The Anatomy of Heavy Melodic Screams
My online vocal lessons go far beyond just "yelling into a mic." As an audio engineer and vocalist, I teach you how to grasp your voice from both an emotional and highly technical aspect. Here is what we will conquer together:
Resonant Pitched Screaming (The "Gojira" Style)
Learn the rare technique of blending heavy distortion with clear, melodic pitch while even enhancing power or resonance instead of losing it.
Safe False Chord & Fry Screaming
This technique is demanding. We will learn to use the whole body as a safeguard for your throat and build safe, sustainable extreme vocals that you can take on tour without vocal damage.
Diaphragmatic Support & Vocal Tract Shaping
Discover how to manipulate your vocal tract, soft palate, and airflow to create massive, booming metal choirs or emotionally nuanced and expressive resonance.
Overcoming Mental Blocks
We will tear down the psychological barriers keeping you quiet. Learn to love your voice, trust your body, and scream your stories up into the heavens and down from the mountaintops.
