DVD Reviews of The Zen of Screaming: Vocal Instruction for a New Breed
DVD Review: Buena Herramienta para todo vocalista
Summary: 4 Stars
Definitivamente es DVD es excelente herramienta para todo vocalista de metal, no es dificil de entender con buenos concejos de los artitas que aparecen en el....... de las cosas que mas agrado fue que se preocupan en el rango de la vos del comprador ya que en Cd puedes entrenar segun tu rango por ejemplo si eres baritono, tenor, soprano etc.......
Lo que si creo que le hace falta, son los sub titulos en espa?ol o lenguaje ya que solo tiene ingles, razon por la cual le doy 4 estrellas, pero en lo demas creo que es una buena herramienta para el pricipiante como para el vocalista con experiencia........
estoy ansioso por comprar The Zen of Screaming: Vocal Instruction for a New Breed Vo 2......

DVD Review: Homework for the Cookie Monster in you.
Summary: 5 Stars
The only downside is that the production seems to have been executed by someone who normally does infomercials. Echoing other reviews, some of it comes off as an ad. That said...
My voice would most likely be in much better shape if this had been available 10 years ago. On one hand, the natural gravel that comes with completely destroying your vocal cords does sound kind of cool at times. On the other, it would be nice to have the choice to turn it off.
If you are a metal singer and you pay attention to this DVD, it will be one of those events that may not garner the significance it deserves but none the less will positively affect the musical aspect of the rest of your life.
Although much damage has already been done in my case, and I'd already learned many of the lessons from experience, TZOS did introduce me to some new exercises and very practical techniques that have had an immediate impact on my performance.
Any metal singer would be foolish not to check it out.
DVD Review: Unique and helpful addition to other instruction
Summary: 4 Stars
The introduction part does come across like an ad, but once it gets going there is a lot of useful stuff. Instruction is interspersed with pieces of interviews with students of Melissa's, which is not instruction per se. But I think the interviews are very helpful in showing how it's put to use, as well as demonstrating the importance of vocal health. Most of the concepts Melissa reviews are things you'll encounter with a more traditional singing instructor, but she has her own way of describing them and explaining how they relate to screaming. She also has some unique exercises, tailored to heavy vocalizing. I think this DVD is most beneficial in conjunction with lessons/other instruction.
The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it only scratches the surface, and it's only designed to scratch the surface. I think this is fine for what it is, but it isn't everything. That, and the first 20 minutes are self-indulgent.
DVD Review: Very useful DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is very informative, and has alot of easy-to-understand technique to save your vocal chords!
I recommend this to any screamer/growler at any level, beginner to advanced.
Following the instructions in this DVD, I have been growling safely for days... Although i haven't quite figured out how to Scream yet, I wasn't able to extract that much from the DVD as of yet.
A good DVD!
DVD Review: More of an infomercial than anything
Summary: 3 Stars
First, let's be honest...if you don't already have the kind of voice to sing metal, this isn't going to help. You either have it, or you don't. What this dvd CAN do, is help you to expand your range to whatever natural degree you're able to, and help you learn to control your voice. That being said, the stuff on this dvd isn't any different or better than other instructional vocal videos/dvds I've seen. There are only so many scales and exercises you can do with the voice. I guess the big marketing thing on this is that it's for a "new breed" of vocalists but watching it just gives the impression that it's more of an infomercial for the bands and singers featured in the dvd, with various bits of the same old vocal exercises thrown in.
If you really want a solid vocal instructional dvd, by an instructor who actually has one of the best vocal ranges ever and has "been there, done that", buy the Jim Gillette Vocal Power dvd from Metal Method.com That will help you without the unnecessary BS.
