>>Singing with grit and rasp is a delicate matter
indeed. It is something that I still struggle with to
this day. Sometimes I
get it where it feels fine, other times it stresses my
throat and hurts.
That is when I am pushing too hard I believe. What
makes it sound that way
is the result of overdriving the vocal cords.>>
Don't those symptoms in themselves indicate that you are pushing your
voice in a manner that is harmful to it or for it? Is that
"pushing too hard" part of what you were taught in those methods of
singing that you referred to? I don't get how that can be beneficial
to the health of your voice, in any manner, regardless of what style
of music you are singing.
