I don't want to learn classical type singing because I don't want to develop the habit of singing like that then haveing to break that habit to sing another style. For some reason habits stick to me, i.e. I wanted to learn to sing/scream like Chester from Linkin Park, so I did, took about a month but I can now do it (of course not with his voice), however now anytime I try to scream (for songs) it comes out like Chester's with that growliness and I can't stop it argggg..... And that's pretty much why I want to find a teacher who can teach me more with rock, or at least know rock himself, but unfortunately I know not where to find him, sigh.

from Reg.... I think Lloyd has often made the point that when a singer "makes a song his own" by singing it in his particular style (Frank Sinatra... Bing etc) it becomes difficult for the audience to accept it in any other style.
I would hazard a guess that most people are well accustomed to having heard "Happy Birthday" sung in all sorts of drawls, drunken states and sweetly. Which do you suggest is the valid performance? :)
I accept them all. Reg.
