I am sure that a lot of you (rock fans) admire voices such Bruce Dickinson (Of Iron Maiden, of course), Michael Kiske (ex Helloween, “the silver throat” as some used to call him - by the way, I am a big fan of you, man!!) and others with similar abilities. I know I do. I love this kind of voices. What I didn’t know is that you can actually study this kind of vocal technique and that the way they sing is not just pure talent or God given voice but also studied technique. Here in Romania, I am not aware of someone teaching this kind of things. Of course we have all kind of music schools and a lot of great vocal trainers, but, damn, I don’t think we have something similar to this.
Here’s a movie of a guy singing a Queensryche’s song. He is a student of this private rock class. Of course, lead singers like Dickinson or Kiske are not born every day, but admit it, he’s there!

Bruce Dickinson is amazing, as well as Rob Halford. Dio has a good voice too, but I just never liked the guy.
I used to sing in a metal band and it is VERY hard to sing loud enough to be heard over the roaring guitars and thundering drums and bass, AND keep your voice controlled AND retain some kind of quality. It was certainly different than the choirs that I used to sing in.

Well, I am not a big fan of Rob Halford, even if he is a God in this beautiful world of rock but Dickinson and Dio, indeed…
I guess you are right, I am guitar player, not a lead singer but I admire strong voices like the ones enumerated above.
It must have been interesting to be a woman lead singer in a heavy metal band
My personal favorite at this section is Synergy, a great metal voice, is you ask me. And Tarja of Nightwish but she’s an other story…
