The techniques of vocal coach Melissa Cross (melissacross.com), renowned among the heavy metal and hardcore scene, are now available to anyone who has a DVD player. Compiling demonstrations, medical footage, and tons of interviews with students including Andrew W.K. and Melissa Auf der Maur, The Zen Of Screaming can help singers of all genres gain endurance and stamina through exercises on breathing, pitch, yelling, and voice maintenance. It’s also pretty cute to see guys from the bands Every Time I Die and God Forbid nerding out like little teacher’s pets.
