Ya, when I record my friend Lucas, he has to go out periodically and smoke when we are doing vocal tracks because of that reason. It dosn't change that much (I can hear a bit of difference), but it does hide a lot and give his voice a raspy quality.

Sounds like he's from Oz. You either need to move to Kansas, or HBO. I'm sure Tom's bound to be there somewhere.

I would believe this is very false. Dave Matthews is not someone I consider a great singer. Someone like Bocelli or Celine dion or some crazy Opera dudes are great singers. And I have yet to see Bocelli tokin on a grit. It's just because back in the day of Sinatra, it was fashionable if you smoked. EVERYONE smoked, they didn't think it was bad for them. So that whys all of the old time good singers smoked, to be coooo. And to say that if you sing you must smoke to be even better is completly ridiculous :idea:
bocelli is not opera if you where saying that. you talk to any opera buff and they will explain to you technically how he does not have an operatic voice, patty lupone currently playing mrs. lovett in the revival of sweeney todd has an operatic voice though, and so does michael severis who is playing sweeney.

other opera singers would be:
GIUSEPPE DI STEFANO
ROLANDO VILLAZON
Anna Netrebko

those are the ones i know because of la traviata.
Did he say Bocelli was Opera? No. And did anyone ask for you to flaunt the fact that you know the names of three Opera singers? No. Guess what? Google knows Opera too.
honestly.

I don't know what you're referencing, but Jeff Buckley drowned when swept under by a boat wake.

I thought he drowned in his pool?

Anyways, smoking is very bad for your voice especially as you age. A lot of young guys smoke because it makes their voice sound older. Take Dave for instance, his voice sounds much different now than even 10 years ago.

Also, smoking doesnt necesarily kill your range, rather it shifts it down. So you wont be able to hit a falsetto but you may just nail bass notes.

Either way work with what you have and make the best of it. Smoking is so bad for you that it would never be worth it.
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?
