Thanks to training with Mateusz I have mastered growling and throat singing without straining my throat. What is exceptionally helpful during our practice is the individual approach and a plan tailored to my voice and experience. I highly recommend his services!
Sibila Extreme Vocal
Sibila Extreme Vocal is an extreme dedication to vocal development in its heaviest, brutal form such as growl, scream, guttural and singing with distortion, as well as healthy and effective voice emission. All in order to become a better and more aware vocalist in a safe way every day!
Welcome to Sibila Extreme Vocal, a place dedicated to extreme vocal techniques such as Fry Scream and False Chord with vocal effects like scream, growl, guttural and distortion for singing!
You will find here information about everything you need to start your adventure with metal vocals and how to master them in a healthy and effective way to unleash your maximum vocal potential! It is also a great place for more experienced vocalists who are looking for ways to take their vocals to the next level, for example by learning new skills, perfecting their current technique or getting rid of bad habits.
When I was taking my first steps as a vocalist in 2012, it was extremely difficult to find reliable, effective and safe methods for developing extreme vocal techniques.
After watching dozens materials on YouTube, I felt even more confused and tired. I decided that I would embark on a journey through the world of extreme vocals on my own and using the trial and error method, sometimes painful, I would figure out what actually works, what is effective but also safe for the voice, and what should be avoided at any cost!
That’s when I also decided that when I was ready, I would create an effective and safe exercise program so that no one else would ever have to go through the same shit I did. Everyone will be able to gain proven knowledge and methods to improve their voice right NOW, avoiding all the possible traps that only cause pain, discomfort, waste of time or frustration.
That was many years ago.
Now, even beginners I train with, are able to make much better progress in about 3 months than I did in over 1.5 years of experiments and bouncing from one YouTube video to the next. All thanks to receiving a ready-made and proven action plan and avoiding all the mistakes and traps that most beginner extreme vocalists fall into.
During our practice, we will master 5 main elements of extreme vocals:
– POSTURE,
– BREATHING TECHNIQUE,
– BREATH SUPPORT (coordinating the diaphragm and core muscles with the voice while singing and screaming),
– VOICE EMISSION (a well-set, resonant voice free from unnecessary tension is the foundation of any vocal technique!),
– GROWL, SCREAM, DISTORTION, KARGYRAA THROAT SINGING, GUTTURAL, PIG SQUEAL using techniques such as Fry Scream and False Chord!
Additionally, we will deal with issues such as:
– vocal hygiene – how to take care of your voice, how to avoid overtraining it, and how to help your voice recover faster when you are ill, tired or practiced too hard
– expanding your vocal range, both up and down!
– releasing and avoiding unnecessary tension around the entire vocal tract and the whole body
– natural strengthening of your voice
– simple and effective vocal warm-ups
– improving the resonance and smooth transitions between vocal registers to avoid vocal breaks while singing and screaming (e.g. when switching between highs and lows).
Client Testimonials
I'm so thankful for the sessions with Matt - he taught me a lot and I significantly increased my vocal skills (both singing and screaming with various techniques). After the sessions with Matt I am able to sing more colorfully and implement many different types of sound and techniques in my songs (low growls, high screams, pitched screams, distortion)!
Mat took me under his wing over a year ago. During this period, we managed to significantly raise skills in various types of extreme vocals. I've been in various bands for many years, but I've never had such a sense of control, awareness and power in my voice before. We're still working and will continue to work to make it even better. Mat is a 100% professional, which is not obvious in the context of musicians. In addition, he is able to adjust working methods and approach to various issues, and such flexibility and willingness to understand is sometimes necessary to achieve the desired effect. I recommend this company 200%!!!
I was a victim of the myth that you have to be born with the ability to sing with distortion and growl. Mateusz, in an unbelievably simple and effective way, taught me aggressive raspy singing and allowed me to enter the world of false chord. Lessons with Sibila additionally motivated me to explore more vocal techniques, and singing has become my new passion. I strongly recommend lessons with Mateusz to everyone who wants to learn how to scream, growl, and sing properly!
Mateusz is an absolute monster when it comes to vocal coaching. He is extremely well versed in all vocal ranges from singing to Fry! The first couple months our sessions were very difficult. I struggled to learn how to false chord scream and I sounded like the Cookie Monster. There were many times where I doubted myself and wasn’t sure if harsh vocals were for me but with his guidance I now feel insanely confident in my screaming abilities. He continues to help me unlock my voice in our weekly meetings. Every week I achieve a nastier sound. Thank you so much for everything. Mateusz, I couldn’t have done it without you !
Even if you previously learned to scream on your own, it is still worth going to Mat. That's how it was in my case. He helped me achieve greater awareness of what I'm doing, get better control of the vocals and their power, and we even discovered some new things in my voice. He presented me with an individual home workout plan and showed the right path of exercises and vocal hygiene. It is also worth emphasizing that he prepared me expressively for a very important event. Now I am able to sing several sets in a row without unnecessary force or tension leading to fatigue. I can fully recommend his services!
I contacted Mateusz about 2 years ago when I became the vocalist in a death metal band. Rehearsals, instead of being a pleasure for me, were an ordeal due to the voice tiring quickly. Thanks to Mateusz, I learned how to work economically with my voice, he pointed out both the strengths of my vocals as well as elements that are worth improving (of course he helped me improve them). Mateusz also helped me (and still helps) discover my own voice, so I can find a sound that satisfies me. It's worth mentioning that we also practice clean vocals, which certainly has a beneficial effect on the overall musical development, even screaming. I will definitely continue learning from Mateusz and I always recommend him to newly met, aspiring vocalists.
