A session with Cathrine Sadolin and singer Suvi Ruotsalainen at a masterclass in Göteborg, Sweden.
Teaching distortion, growl, grunt, rattle, screams and other effects is a part of a Complete Vocal Technique, just as teaching range, power etc. These effects have for many years been considered damaging by traditional singing teachers and doctors. Today we know that all sounds can be produced in a healthy way, and we have step by step instructions for all sounds, so that everybody can learn how to do them if desired. When it comes to distortion most singers get the hang of it in about 20 - 40 minutes, and then it takes some training to master it and use it musically.
This is a video of a session with Cathrine Sadolin and singer Suvi Ruotsalainen at a masterclass in Göteborg, Sweden the 10th of September 2007. In 20 minutes Suvi (and an enthusiastic audience of about 50 singers and teachers) learned the basics of this vocal effect. I have here cut the session to 7 minutes.
