Objective:

This study aims to examine the self-directed learning process in mastering growl vocal techniques among metal vocalists in Bandar Lampung, focusing on learning strategies, stages of skill acquisition, and the role of the music community as a source of informal learning support. Method: A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed.

During the implementation stage, repeated practice is used to develop mastery of growl vocal techniques. Reflection involves self-auditory evaluation, reinforced by feedback from audiences and the music community. This approach enables vocalists to adapt techniques to their individual abilities while benefiting from social interaction within the community. Conclusion: The study confirms that mastery of growl vocal techniques can be effectively developed through self-managed learning, repeated practice, and support from the music community as an informal learning space, highlighting the importance of integrating individual practice and social interaction in extreme music education.
