Huh. I called it “singing through your teeth”. That’s how I karaoke 90s songs! Had no idea there was was a word for it.
I’d say stop doing it, but since it’s karaoke it’s almost like you have to do it.
I watched the video and still don’t understand why she wants / wanted to get rid of yarling. She makes points but it’s just a different sound overall rather than a “worse” sound IMO. It makes the bands she references feel iconic and unique.
Because it kills the resonance and shrinks the sound. She explains the reasons with examples and everything.
Yeah she did say that but still it’s just different, not bad. I don’t understand why it would be bad. Lots of artists have unique differences and I appreciate that

I wonder why some people seem to change their voices when they sing
I’d assume its to achieve a certain style that they the singer find pleasing or complementary to the rest of the bands signature sound.
Oh fair, yeah.
My favorite band with the most distinctive vocal sound is The Blood Brothers… They stopped the band very young and it makes total sense why—you can’t vocalize like that for too long without completely frying your voices.
So you’d rather they just talked?
There’s a lot of necessity there. Our natural speaking voices use the throat and lungs in a different way than any singing techniques. And, there’s multiple ways of using them to get a desired sound.
So there’s some degree of style involved, but past a certain point you have to change your voice to sing rather than just speak in tune (which is still a valid thing of its own)
Fashion. British acts go through eras of sounding American, then sounding as British as possible, then American again.
That’s a good point, yeah.
I just thought I disliked most grunge
Turns out there’s a name for exactly what I don’t like about it!
I absolutely hate the thing Eddie Vedder does and it was kind of a rift with my housemates at uni, who were too unsophisticated to understand The Jesus & Mary Chain like me. If everything is so emotionally intense that you might just die at any moment, then nothing is.
He was good on Twin Peaks The Return though.
“distinctive”
Isn’t that like 100% of what Shakira does?
