Death metal vocals

[Demeyes]

How loud are your gutturals? 2 of us in my band do lows very loudly in a tone similar enough to Glen Benton, while our drummer can do the Akerfelt type growls but they are very quiet in comparison. What kind of volume do you guys get? We don't use these vocals too much in the band though.
Also anyone here into inward screams? Pig squeals aside, some of the high pitched screams with that technique are awesome and you can get super low burp vocals that way too. Its really unnatural feeling at first but its a great laugh when you get used to it, and the results are pretty surprising.

Waste of money IMO - she doesn't hve a clue what she is talking about on the DVDs. I'm sure she must do some good one-on-one, but the DVD is just a glorified advertisement for how awesome she is.

My death growls are loud enough to be heard reasonably far away, but as I go up in pitch towards All Shall Perish/The Black Dahlia Murder levels I get much louder.

I love throwing inwards ones in there - I can't squeal outwards (trying so hard) so I drop them in for the odd effect, but I'd never use them more than once or twice - you have to keep it interesting.

She does give a few good tips here and there in the DVD (my friend bought it, and we watched it), but It's DEFINITELY not worth buying. There were a few things she demonstrated that I already knew from practicing, but anyone who hasn't figured them out on their own would have no clue what she's talking about.
