Etymology:
Middle English (as a verb): from
Old Norse thrýsta ; perhaps
related to Latin trudere ‘to
thrust’. The noun is first
recorded (early 16th century) in
the sense ‘act of pressing’.
Etymology:
Middle English (also in the sense
‘madness’): from Old French
rage (noun), rager (verb), from a
variant of Latin rabies (see
rabies).
Principle of Operation:
Add a raspy like sound to your
voice by gurgling slightly at the
back of the throat once you can
sing comfortably at a "shout"
pitch, and push with the
diaphragm (try tensing your
abdominal muscles). This should
produce a quite high, shout like
sound if you're doing it right.
