I want a raspy, gravelly voice. Permanently.

I have heard many of stories of people being exposed to something, some great chemical and it destroying their vocal cords.

Now, what is something that I can inhale/ingest that will NOT kill me, but will wreak beautiful havoc on my little vibrating friends?

If you want to scream like George Fisher, just smoke a bunch of pot and unfiltered cigarettes. Any chemical that you could use to do that would only fuck you up.

Trust me man. I used to sing in a metal band, and still practice daily. Your best bet is pot from a metal pipe, HUGE rips, and unfiltered cigarettes. And whiskey.

The rest is just practice man.

Now may I suggest camel unfiltereds? Quite possibly one of the highest tar (and nicotine) count, among gas station cigarettes. They also taste good, and if haven has a smell, they smell like a brand new pack of camels. I also recommend rolling your own cancer sticks, not only is it an enjoyable way to past the time, but are a very economical way of getting the radioactive tar lodged in your larynx.

I've also heard something from my D.A.R.E. teacher (probably false) but inhaling helium can cause permanent vocal change.

But personally I believe this should be under Reinvent Yourself unless you are looking for a job on here to be someone's lab rat who is willing to inhale various fumes as a form of a make shift fume hood.

I have posted this in Reinvent yourself a while back. I seem to get the same cigs and whiskey or scream your head off. So I thought I'd give you all a visit to get a new perspective.

Talk as loud and deep as you can then soon you will temporarily sound raspy like having a cold. Camels and coffe will take 20 years to work.

yeah good if you get the 'raspy throat' you're after, but major league bumfest if you end up having to get a 'voice-vibrator' or whatever they are called and end up sounding like a robot/guy at the Mcdonalds drive through!!!!!!!!!

PLus, I am sure you can get surgery to your vocal chords or something like that...especially in America - people will do anything for a $ - fuck the moral argument!

Not a chem route, but you literally could have someone fuck your vocal cords. Seriously, have you thought about doing physical damage to them?

Just keep screaming. That's what George Fisher does. He has NO help. His voice is like that from SCREAMING AND SCREAMING AND SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS FUCKING LUNGS!

That's it man. The secret to metal. Practice. I've been doing it for years, and it's actually getting to sound nice and fucking scary.
