  • I am a decent metal vocalist. I have taught all kinds of people to do deep guttural growls, from children to adults male and female.

    Without creating a wall of text that will only confuse you… Two words: Exasperated sigh.

    Sigh like you just died on the final boss and realized you never quicksaved.

    Sigh like your dad just made the most anguishingly bad pun you’ve ever heard. There needs to be some disgust in this sigh.

    Kind of say “uhhh” and “eww” and “ugh” at the same time.

    The goal is to push air hard and leave the throat muscles loose. This will make your throat flap about and distort the sound coming out.

    Okay we’re getting toward wall of text, but, have you ever had a cough for a long time? And your cough got nasty sounding, even after you were all better? You trained your muscles to relax, thats why it sounds different, and you did it to help push mucous out. Screaming is pretty much the same. Once you’re comfortable with all this, give it a nice loud: “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” But relax your throat as you push more air/push harder. That’s where the distortion comes from.

    Edit: check out extreme vocal institute for more tips. That guy explains this stuff brilliantly, and he gets into very detailed specifics.




  • You’re missing the point.

    The issue isn’t just about the physical center of the plate or the microwave itself. The key point is how microwaves heat food unevenly. Microwaves create standing waves, which result in hot and cold spots. The center of the microwave tends to be one of the cold spots, regardless of where the turntable is.

    When the plate rotates, the food gets exposed to more areas where microwaves are stronger, leading to more even heating. However, if you place something directly in the center, it’s less likely to move through those stronger areas, which is why the center tends to be the least optimal spot for heating evenly.

    It’s not about whether 99% of the pie is centered—it’s about how the energy is distributed within the microwave.
