Any of you wailers out there taken vocal lessons? I am considering it to improve my singing voice any other methods or excercises you do or would recommend?

MELISSA CROSS! Check out her DVD. "The Zen of Screaming."

I would say without a doubt Melissa Cross. She has a mad crew of pipe hittin' niggas.
Funny story...she and her people almost came to blows with Cindy Lauper a few weeks backs.
I was doing a showcase at S.I.R. for Roadrunner and Ms. Lauper's band was rehearsing down the hall. Well, Cindy decided to talk a bunch of yang about Melissa's technique after she overheard her giving lessons to the band's singer. Well, me and my compadres decided to tell Melissa that and there Melissa's posse waited outside Ms. "Girls Just Wanna Get Their Asses Kicked"'s rehearsal room.
Those true colors were gonna be blood red to put it mildly...

There arent any real good videos for guttural vocals Ive noticed (Ive seen the Zen of Screaming and not a lot besides the warm ups really apply) I think there should be a video or instructional class somewhere for that. Just like anything else, its pretty hard to figure out on your own. I ended up asking my personal favorite death metal vocalists a lot of questions. A lot of trial and error helped also.
