My couch broke, my dog is confused and my neighbors think I have covid.. I am now METAL!

[NaElii]

Her: "Don't do this right now"

Me who hasn't ever even try to growl before: "You underestimate my power"

[musicplaylists]

i never realised that i wanted to be a death metal vocalist until i realised that the training consists of practising relaxing on the sofa

[the_dodgers_is_win]

*I love how you have to relax to learn how to metal growl*

[rapii]

"how did u get so fit?"
"i trained my growls"

[libbythomas]

I love how she says as little effort as possible, its so different from when a music teacher says "TRY TRY TRY." I know exactly what she means. When you're relaxed and just going with it, you're voice sounds clearer. If you try so hard and judge yourself so harshly, you mess up bad.

“are you doing it with me?”
me: *in my bed suffering from period cramps*

[NadiaFernandes]

This is exactly what I need. To learn to growl and lose weight at the same time

[Shadowfox]

me: woof! woof!
my dog: what the hell are you doing?

[DesireesJoint]

My stomach growled at the exact same time she said “growl” at 1:27... *That’s definitely a sign.*

[Ntropic]

by the time she said: "don't attempt this right now" I had arlready tried to copy her and was coughing my lungs out.

[andressernaisaacs]

Mara: "Don´t do this yet". Me: "Eghhhr Eghhhr Eghhh... sorry". Thank you for this kind and fun lesson, you are a great communicator.

[ReunionMana]

Dude the coughing was 100% the hidden gem in this video, so easy to learn from that one in my opinion, absolutely broke open false cord technique for me after weeks of trying the jumping jacks and the heavy sighing with minimal results

[Shredneckguitar]

Really informative, I have sung clean for a while but never understood the technique to growling until I watched this. Thankyou.

[PLj]

Great! Now my wife think i'm going crazy at the garage.

[SpaceCowboy]

I like how "don't attempt to do this now" comes after 15 seconds of me scaring my caveman noises.

[karbana]

I don't know why, but in this video you look like female version of Head (KoRn)... :)) So chill-confident, with positive vibrations... Or maybe it's just the dreads. :D Thanks for the Mongolian throat singing - I wasn't sure where exactly it comes from, because you can produce similar kind of sound with various parts and combinations of your throat - like fry + nasal resonance. And the most YouTube videos tutorials don't start with this lighten approach like you and I was abusing my throat with violence, pushing - using both my false and true cords - ending with pain. So, thanks for the different method! :)

[DOUBLE.O.G.]

this video actually helped me hardcore, Ive been a vocalist in a prog deathcore band called AUTUMNA for a little 10 years and I actually learned a lot from this. thank you!

[AddiDaddy]

Māra is one of the coolest humans I’ve meet in my life! Her knowledge and experience not only on how to achieve your unique extreme sound but to help you find what you want to have as your foundation to the direction of your emotional and lyrical creativity. If you’re serious about your screams and considering voice lessons to do that, I 100% recommended her. Day one you learn more than you thought there was to know. She’s a real person with a good heart and is worth supporting!
