Inhales are definitely no cop-out if you DO THEM RIGHT. Exhales are a lot easier to perfect, or at least get comfortable with. There are too many lazy vocalists giving inhales a bad name. It's nearly impossible to describe how to do one correctly though. It hurts like fucking hell before you know what you're doing, and to get power, endurance, range and volume out of them takes a lot of time and practice. All the stupid YouTube videos of kids doing inhales are fucking retarded. All the vocalists that need to cup the mic when they do inhales are fucking retarded (same goes for people who need to cup the mic when they do exhales).

The bottom line on that argument is that no matter what vocal styling you go for, you need to make sure you can get volume, power and endurance.

I've been doing exhales and inhales for about 9 years, at about the same volume/power level, just consistently practicing any way that I can. Trying to sing along to your favorite death metal CDs in the car helps, or just making random noises while driving helps too. I've never really looked into proper vocal care, which I probably should do at some point, haha, but I've found that sugary drinks help me a lot. Hot chocolate gets my throat perfect for really wet, disgusting sounds. I've never gone wrong with water either though.


Best thing to do is not use your vocal chords, but rather use the roof of your mouth to make that raspy sound. Try talking like Marge Simpson, and then use that exact sound to go a growl. Also try it like your growling like a dog, and then turn it into a death metal growl. That way, you won't kill your vocal chords and you'll be able to speak.
