Does this course teach how to sing with rock distortion?

Hello. We all know Ken can sing rock and it sounds good. But does this course teach how to add "rock dirt" into your vocal? I've been singing for many years and have no problem singing with a clean voice. However I still can't get it how Freddie Mercury or other well known rock vocalists produce the distorted sound. Obviously this should be done without strain, on the other hand we do know that rock vocalists, even Mercury and Stiven Tyler had issues with their vocal cords. Was it lack of technique or a price for this beautifully distorted sound they got in the upper register? Whatever I do, I can't get any similar sound. Ken can do it, but can he teach this?

Yes, Ken does teach it, but it is an advanced technique, so first he teaches you the basics of his method, and in Volume 3, after you have learned his basic building blocks an your voice is ready, he introduces techniques for using safe methods of distortion.

Ken also teaches you how to sing strong and clean without wearing your voice out and going hoarse.  Either way, clean or distorted without damaging or wearing out your voice.

It's not something you can skip ahead to, because first you learn to sing the way Ken teaches his students to sing.  After gaining strength in this method, you are ready to take the next steps of modifying that technique to be able to add the distortion without damage to the voice.

and @pavelp ,you don' want to do too much hyperglottal compression exercises because if you do them incorrectly, you could easily damage your voice. That technique is the most advanced form of distortion and Chris Cornell uses it in some of his songs.
