48th Annual Grammy(R) Awards Talent Gift Bags to Feature 'The Zen of Screaming' - Groundbreaking Instructional DVD by NYC 'Scream Queen,' Melissa Cross

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Loudmouth, Inc., the producers of "The Zen of Screaming: Vocal Instruction for a New Breed," a groundbreaking instructional DVD featuring 2.5 hours of revolutionary vocal training by New York City's most forward thinking vocal coach, Melissa Cross, announces that the DVD will be featured in the 48th Annual Grammy(R) Award talent gift bags. All presenters and performers at the 2006 Awards will receive an exclusive Grammy gift basket.

Classically trained at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy and the Bristol Old VicTheatre School in England, Melissa originally designed the DVD for extreme metal vocalists to avoid vocal damage and still deliver passionate and uncontrived performances. Recent top-tier press and word-of-mouth exposure has captivated a much broader audience and driven widespread demand for Melissa's expertise. Far from the usual stuffy, instructional content, the humorous documentary footage and animation make this DVD as entertaining as it is informative.

"The Zen of Screaming" is the first of its kind and a must-have tool for the modern vocalist. Some of Melissa's clients include SliPKnoT (Roadrunner), Andrew W.K. (Island), The Bravery (Island), Lamb of God (Sony/Epic), and Thursday (Island).

The 48th Annual GRAMMY(R) Awards ceremony will be held on February 8, 2006 and broadcast domestically by the CBS Television Network (8 p.m. ET/PT). The show -- which will feature performances from some of the music industry's most important artists -- will originate live from the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.
