How to sing with Jon's technique on "These Days" album?
 

I'm asking here because I'm very busy and don't have time to go to a vocal coach? So how do I achieve Jon's quite nasal sound in 1995?

I don't consider Jon's 1995 voice nasal. From 2000 onwards.


Btw. You definitely post some of the most dubious questions out of nowhere on this board :D

Well, yes. His voice in 2000 and onwards was more nasal than 1995 but I still consider that 1995 is kinda nasal. Listen to the Live from Wembley DVD and compare it to 1993 for example. You can definitely hear than some songs sound different. For example Prayer.

Asking for singing lessons on a message board seems a little hard to achieve.

Nah, I'm not asking for singing lessons, just want to know a basic technique to sound more like Jon from 1995

Yes! Dave you are are the god of awkward threads as well ! Take this as a compliment, it gives some adventure to the board.

Start smoking.

Develop your m1 range up to about c#5. This may take a few years to really get access to these top notes, and even then they may not be reliable. Jon had a fantastic voice at that time, one that is very hard to emulate. I think, at that time Jon was very comfortable singing from g4 to
B4, as he hits these notes in almost every song on these days, so pay attention to that part of your range. Try to sing with some "twang". Do this by placing the sound in your nose, then manipulating it into a sound that is more pleasant and less shrill. Lastly, try to develop Jon's signature rasp across all your range. Here are some resources I recommend for learning how to get control over the sound of your voice.
1.this YouTube Chanel (https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=...q62c27q3RLOwGI) is filled with quick tips and practical explanations that really work, and helped me gain control over my sound. Also, it is thee most evidence based, least BS singing channel on youtube.
2. A book called Complete Vocal Technique (CVT). This is extremely useful and comprehensive, and helps give you access to all parts of your voice.
