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.

It won't sound good if you are imitating anything. The reason that you love the singers you do is because they are the most themselves that they can be. The journey for you is to be YOU. And that means understanding your vocal instrument intuitively, like you will understand your guitar and drums the more you play them!
