1.Please introduce yourself and tell us who you sing for
Hi! My name is Viktoria Viren and I’m the
singer of Evil Drive.
2.What
/ Who made you want to sing?
Good Music when I was a little girl and my Dad
he was a great guitar player.
Also, when I first started to growl at the age of 14, I didn't know
that there were other females doing this.
Sabina Classen from Holy Moses was there,
Rachel from Sinister was there and, of course, Angel Gossow from Arch Enemy was
there.
Growling with a similar vocal style that I
was doing back then just as that sweet little girl.
Now, however, I am already feeling pretty
old... [*LOL*]
3.Who
was the first singer you saw live that gave you chills?
4.Many
people say heavy music is just screaming, How would you combat that statement?
I would like to tell them -Try to do it
by yourself -HA -HA. Diffrent people
like different styles of music, if somebody doesn’t like my singin style, it’s just their own opinion, I don't care. I do
what I like. They don't bother me at all.
5.If
you growl or do harsh vocals how do you keep your voice after such violent performances?
Breathing-techniques, warm-ups. You have to use diaphragm
breathing and rip-cage/back breathing. No chest-breathing and raised shoulders.
This is not violent at all. We are talking
about different vocal techniques. At least personally I feel a huge energy from
"growl".
6.
Do you have a warm up routine? Tell u bout it ?
I Do plenty of exercise,
which should also include melodic singing.
Before rehearsal I play guitar at home and
warm up my voice. It’s very important to just sing with clean vocals too.
7.
Do you think power or performance is more important?
Both things are very important for the
Metal stage. When I’m performing on the stage with my band it makes me strong and
our music makes me strong and to give audience our powerful energy charge.
8.
Who do you think gets unfair vocal praise, someone the world thinks is great
but is not? / And who is great but does not get the credit?
9.Name
your top 5 vocalist
Dave Mustaine
Bruce Dickinson
Tom Araya
Max Cavalera
Rob Halford
10.Micheal
Buble or Jim Gallette? Just testing your skills here
Ha-ha Of Course Jim Gillette. Great
singer from the old school power super energy band Nitro.
11.Who
do you love to listen to that would surprise people?.
Sometimes there’s no
better cure for my mind to
distance myself from everyday tensions and thoughts of problems than the ethnic
songs of American natives. Music
can have a profound effect on both the emotions and the body. I guess you are
surprised but It’s how it is.
12.If
you could remove the autotune from any singer who would it be?
no answer
