Episode show notes:
This time we're answering an interesting listener question.
Tim asks:
"I have one question I would love to ask your advice on and I reckon you will know exactly what I'm asking:
I can sing fairly well technically, but I would love more grit and aggression in my tone.
In your experience, is trying to achieve this through training and technique even a thing? (Vocal Fry etc.)
Or should I just own what I have and accept that isn't my voice?
Also how much can you realistically achieve this tone through
pre-amps/gain reduction/distortion etc.?"

Tim, here comes your answer!
Enjoy!
