Girl sing death metal?

Question:Yeah so basically, my question is, How can a girl sing really good death metal?

I want to be able to sing like Otep or even Arch Enemy. I'm not planning to sound just like them, but I want to be able to do the whole growl/scream thing. I've been practicing and every once in a while I can sound kind of good.

Most people will say that girls cant do it, or it has to come naturally. I dont wanna hear it.

Plus my voice is already pretty scratchy and stuff cus sometimes I smoke and I'm pretty much just able to make my voice sound scratchy.

Help?!

Easy techniques?

Just keep praticing. Thats how most do it. You could ultimately find someone to teach or train you but if you just practice, practice, practice you should succeed on your own. Scream on!

Easiest way, is to find someone who can give you lessons.

Listen to the group Lacuna Coil. There's your answer! ;)
