The most important part of fronting a punk band is to be authentic. If you're up there posing like you're something you're not, people will boo you off the stage faster than Nickelback at a metal fest. People will quickly hear if you're affecting a "punk voice," or being fake, so sing in the most natural, but aggressive form of your own voice. Although it has grown into a commodity, and you can buy studded belts and Ramones tees at the mall, punk has roots in anti-establishmentism and class consciousness. The earliest punk bands were fronted by angry working class youths. Anyone can be a punk singer nowadays, but it's important to understand the historical context of the music you want to perform. The best way to get a primer on great punk vocals is to listen to great punk music. It's important to explore punk rock from different eras and seek out the vocalists who pioneered the sound, and vocalists who are doing it right today. Check out: Greg Graffin from Bad Religion Keith Morris from Circle Jerks and OFF! Patti Smith Henry Rollins from Black Flag Johnny Rotten from Sex Pistols Joan Jett Joey Ramone from The Ramones David Vanian from The Damned Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys A punk voice should sound a lot like your regular singing voice, but amplified into a louder version of itself. When you're done singing a punk song, your throat should feel raw, which is how you know you're doing it right. Generally, punk vocals don't move up and down much, but hang on a single note, or a few notes. Volume is more important than vocal acrobatics. Popularized by some forms of progressive hardcore or "screamo," a different form of vocalizing is sometimes just called "screaming," with some bands even designating a particular screamer to the line-up. For more on this style of singing, read this article. Unlike metal singing or even country singing, which have very specific, established sounds that are associated with the voice, punk songs can be sung by all sorts of different vocalists. Mostly, though, we associate punk singers with a higher pitched "head voice," that comes from the throat and the nose, more than the diaphragm. If you have a high, nasally voice, you'll fit in right beside snotty punk bands like Zero Boys or Blink 182, while if you've got a lower growl, you'll be able to pull off a good Joe Strummer impression. Punk vocalists often look like they're in on some private joke you don't get, and you can hear it in the voice. It's a kind of sneering cool that's unique to punk and some other kinds of rock signing. Punk, aside from being a serious and emotional political form of music, is also a lot of fun to sing, and it should seem like it. Even though they're not punk, check out old Elvis Presley videos, and listen to Jerry Lee Lewis sing their classic rock stylings. These are big influences on punk vocals, and they've got the same current of cool running through. All that yelling can take a major toll on the vocal cords, so it's important to take some preventative and restorative steps to care for your instrument to keep yourself singing. You don't have to become a diva, but doing a few little things will keep you howling. Make sure you stay hydrated when you sing, warming your throat with some hot tea and then hydrating afterwards with sports drink or plain water. While it may seem like a fast-track to a good punk rasp, smoking makes it much more difficult to maintain the breath support necessary for good punk vocals. Avoid cigarettes.

Do you like their music or sports performance? Make sure to stay on top of their latest productions and accomplishments by reading news sites that would feature your celebrity, such as TMZ, Perez Hilton, Yahoo! News, E! Online, and others. Subscribing to Google News alerts for emails about articles that mention your celebrity is also a good idea. Make a note of what organizations and charities the celebrity is involved with. Follow them on Twitter and stay on top of their work as well. If it accords with your personal beliefs, you may even make a donation to that charity and let the celebrity know. Use hashtags that they use and are trying to promote. Retweet their tweets to your followers, especially when they are asking fans to check something out or are promoting another entity. Reply to their tweets with your reactions and thoughts. This will flood their Twitter streams with comments from you, making them more familiar and comfortable with you. As a result, they may start following you. Don't be annoying. Remember that they are human beings, and don't like to be spammed or to receive the similar overexcited messages repeatedly. Make sure each interaction you make with them is meaningful. Time your engagements well. Responding to every single one of their tweets comes off as desperate and fake. Only respond when you have something interesting to say or when you really want to get their tweet out to others. Engaging with them more than twice a day borders on excessive. When your celebrity accomplishes something or does something praiseworthy, tweet at them to congratulate them and express your appreciation for the work that they do. Make sure to time it appropriatelyhence the importance on staying up-to-date about the latest news surrounding your celebrity. They're human beings too; they would appreciate a compliment on their new album or hairstyle just as much as the rest of us would. Ideally, you want to produce an emotional reaction from the celebrity to your tweet. If you liked their new dress, say why or talk about an outfit it inspired you to wear. Feel free to include photos! If you enjoyed their entire new album, say that it's been playing on repeat for the past 13 hours. Make sure what you're saying is true: celebrities can tell when someone is being over-the-top and brown-nosing for attention rather than expressing genuine appreciation. If you can get a laugh out of somebody, they like you better already and are almost certain to reply. Don't force it, but some of the tweets you make to the celebrity will naturally lend themselves to a further question, which will encourage the celebrity to reply back to you. For example, you can ask when their next tour is coming up, or what their favorite piece in their new fashion collection is. Make sure your question doesn't require a lengthy response, as Twitter only allows 140 characters per response. For example, a question about the source of inspiration for a song would be a better choice for an email or direct message on Twitter than a tweet. Try tweeting to your followers about the celebrity. Be sure to tag them at the beginning or end, and only say nice things. Celebs don't want to see their name attached to a hate message. You can also tweet out to your followers to follow the celebrity. For example, you could say: "@celebrity is only 10 followers away from getting to 12K! Hit that follow button, sweethearts!" Celebs love it when their fans help them gain more followers. This usually works, and it's amazing because the celeb will have more followers, and they may even tweet you thanks (or follow you).
