Any advice on how to control my voice when I TRY to sing?

I'm going along the lines of Ville Valo or Jyrkie69. I want a deep strong voice but not like Rammstein. I can only sing deep-ish but that's it. I can't hit high notes and when I try to go low it sounds like crap. Any advice on vocal control?Any advice on how to control my voice when I TRY to sing?
This sounds like a breath control issue. When you have problems with both low and high notes, you should definitely check your diaphragmatic breathing. You've got the notes in there, but shallow breathing can cause these notes to shut off. And no, I don't think you automatically need to take up the drums. LOL! There is possibly a solution to your problem. And by the way, cold water never hurts the voice. What matters is that you drink plenty of water. The form of it being hot, cold, lukewarm, really doesn't make a difference throughout the day.





As I share this exercise before, I will repeat this for you. Get in front of the mirror. Lay your ands flat on your abdomen parallel to eachother, with only the tips of your middle fingers touching. Now, instead of shallow breathing (which is when you breathe from the high chest area), take a deep breath, transfering all that air to your abdomen on inhale. Meaning, fill your abdomen up with air like a balloon. You should feel a little fat or your abdomen should expand, and your middle fingers will slightly part. Now, exhale SLOWLY. Don't PUSH the air out. Try to stay filled as possible on exhale. By the time you are ready to inhale again, your middle fingers will touch again. This is what we call diaphragmatic breathing. The diaphragm, if you are breathing correctly, works in contrast to the muscles around it that YOU control, in order to reach your full breathing capacity. It takes some time to get used to, but continue to try this exercise until you get it deep into your psyche. After this, add scales or notes. You will sing the scale instead of slowly exhaling the air out. BUT it is the same premise. Preserve the air as you can, meaning, don't blow all of the air out when you sing the notes.





Try this breathing exercise and vocalize the same way EVERYDAY. If you feel your upper body or shoulders move when you are doing this, just stop. Try again. Get back in front of the mirror until you feel comfortable without it. The more you use this exercise, the more notes you will be able to support. You will find the high and low notes will not be such a struggle. Also, when you reach the opposite ends of your range, never BLOW out the notes. Don't force them out. It should feel the same way as your slowly exhale. Let them work for you, not against you. Don't overwork your body. If you get that into your system, it would change the quality of your high and low notes tremendously. Also, if you can, try to find a good voice teacher to help. If not, I would go with this exercise over and over again until you see a difference. This type of breathing works for ANY genre of singing (even rock), and it can help you have longevity on stage too. Good luck to you and keep singing!Any advice on how to control my voice when I TRY to sing?
