"Start taking vocal lessons. Seriously. I was stuck in pretty much the same place vocaly for years before i started taking lessons, and lo and behold, i improved more in 6 months than i did in 6 year prior. Sure, you can just go and belt it out and push and yell so it sounds somewhat good, but thats the express flight to fucking up your vocal cords forever. I know some singers can just do it naturally, like Dio and Steven Tyler, but those guys are legends for a reason. Us mere mortals have to practice our ass of to be able to to it. Anyway, your best shot is getting a teacher. He/she will teach you all about correct vocal placement, breath support, inounciation, vocal projection and so on. After you have that somewhat down, you can work with adding grit to your vocals. And getting a teacher is in my opinion the only way to really advance with singing, because its not like playing guitar. You cant learn how to manipulate the inside of your body if you just watch youtube videos. A good teacher will tailor their aproach to you specificly, and will work with you in a way that makes sense, and improves your biggest mistakes. Ive been taking vocals lessons for the last 4-5 years i think. And its been one of the most rewarding things ever. I went from barely getting trough a metallica song to being able to power trough Show must go on. So yeah, there is hope."
