In the early '90s, a passionate and unrestrained movement of singers emerged from the underground that would test the extreme limits of the human voice. Heeding the call of the warriors of rock and metal for over 15 years, Melissa Cross developed a vocal training method that has since been embraced by these artists who value raw power and passion above everything in their performance. Her groundbreaking vocal technique can enhance range and increase endurance without sacrificing intensity and individuality. Creator of the acclaimed "The Zen Of Screaming" instructional DVD, Melissa's clients include: A DAY TO REMEMBER ALL THAT REMAINS ANDREW W.K.
