Ok I can sing along with songs and shit, but does anyone know how to sound like a hair band singer? They all have a similiar quality in their voices, I can't put my finger on the exact word, but if anyone has any tips that would kick ass.

try singing in a thrash metal band. Glam singers have a high pitched scream about their voices.

Well, I'm not sure about "glam" per say, but with the "hair bands" from the 80's and 90's they had a trademark of having very clean vocals. The enunciation was there. And, they were not all screamers. Some of them were just that good with their vocal range. Depending on who you are wanting to sound like will make a big difference in what you need to do. The 80s were definitely the time for tenors. Some of them got a bit rough and gravelly, but for the most part, it was just really good, honest, heartfelt tenor vocals. But then again, I'm an insramentalist, not a vocalist.

I'm most comfortable singing in the keys of C, my pitch is about the same as vince neil, and I can hit a lot of the notes he hits, except this one scream halfway through Piece of Your Action and a few other places.

Thanks for the advice so far, I need to learn how to enunciate better, and probably learm some diaphram and breathing stuff. If anyone has any more advice, let me know.

i'm no expert...but you can look into expanding your range through a vocal coach or something.

but i'd have also thought that even singing when it comes to glam/hair etc...you could make it your own with what you have.

I've not sang professionally for at least 6 yearz but when I started out it was mainly old school country/blues type stuff it'z probably the best type when starting out as it'z mainly acoustic/electric based and you can get a real feel for the music also alot of the old Atlanta/Delta soul stuff is great for learning harmony. Another thing I did was write my own stuff and just jammed with a friend on an acoustic you will learn your own talentz and pitfallz that way. the key is just be yourself and develop your own style,hope this helpz and good luck 2ya.

I'm probably wrong, but I've always thought of Vince Neil's voice as being "whiskey induced" somehow. It's probably a delusion on my part.

But I do know that he used to get steroid injections before shows to keep his voice from going out.
...probably not the best approach, vocal coaching is probably a better idea. But a certain amount is just going to be what your vocal cords are capable of handling. Not everone can sound like that.

Here is a tip. Get an honest opinion and listen to it cos there is nothin worse than seeing a band with a singer who sounds like a cat getting fucked in the ass by a donkey. Good luck.
