With Amplification

#1 Put on safety goggles to protect your eyes when the glass shatters. Use ear protection to protect your ears.
#2 Plug your microphone into your amplifier.
#3 Turn the volume on your amplifier to max and turn on your microphone.
#4 Place a crystal glass (see Tips) right in front of the speaker of the amplifier.
#5 Tap the glass and listen carefully to the ringing sound. You can also dampen your finger and rub the tip along the rim until the glass hums. Make note of this pitch and use it as a starting point in the next step.
#6 Sing several different high notes into the microphone until you hit the right one for that specific glass, at which point the glass will shatter.



Without Amplification

#1 Put on safety goggles to protect your eyes when the glass shatters.
#2 Put your lips almost directly against the glass.
#3 Sing at the same pitch found to break the glass with the previous method, and sing powerfully - over 90 decibels if you're using inexpensive glass.


i know what i'm doin' when i get home.

Evil spiky things are attacking your white throbbing blob. Move your mouse and block the spiky things with your dot.

fuck your face!

:erm:

but seriously

i don't want glass shattering directly in front of my face. pain, blood, all that. i'd probably hold out until i had access to an amplifier and a microphone.

...and if you do, definitely do it. and take a video. and post it.

my vocal range, while wide, probably won't affect the glass at the desired level of shatterosity without an amp. then again it's all about frequency, so it's worth a shot. we shall see.
