Singing

So I've always had a fascination with Korn. For their simplicity, viciousness, and unique use of odd sounds. But there's one thing that always stood out over the 7 string guitars tuned to A. Jonathan davis's vocals. He has such control and such a unique sound, is it possible to replicate without effects? All he does is layer his voice but even live, it's awesome
 
Voice is onething you can't replicate. A sound is possible so is a phrase or something longer. But, you can't replicate a voice completly because of something simple. Pauses. We all take pauses when talking and don't know it. That pause along with pitch, and volume makes a soundwave pattern that you can see through recording programs.

Even the best imtation will fail to sound/look EXACTLY like the original.

Well yea Ifigured but I've found a few covers with singers that get pretty close, actually I lied, I've only found one that sounds almost exact

Depending on your own voice, if you talk like Barry White it just is not going to happen. Facts of life.

Lol yea I know but it's not getting to the nots the same way that's got me, it's distorting my voice crisply like he does. I end up sounding like Sybreed - bioactive
