It goes further than that. Different singing techniques use more or entirely different muscle groups than talking. Some more extreme metal vocal techniques bypass the vocal cords almost entirely. Y’all should watch the Charismatic Voice videos where they stuck cameras and stuff down Will Ramos’ throat.
I don’t think metal is bypassing the vocal chords so much as it’s using what are essentially vestigial vocal chords.
I’m able to do throat singing, and it definitely feels different from normal talking or singing. I can occasionally sing polyphonically doing it, but it requires a perfect storm of allergies cooperating and warming up to the point that my throat muscles start gassing out.
