The Strokes are an American rock band formed in New York City in 1998. Lead singer Julian Casablancas is known for his distinctive vocal style, which blends elements of punk, rock, and new wave.

One of the defining features of Casablancas' voice is his use of intentional distortion, which adds roughness and grit to his singing. To achieve this effect, you can try adding some natural distortion to your voice by singing from your throat instead of your diaphragm. Practice singing with a slightly rougher tone than usual, and experiment with adding more grit as you become more comfortable.

Another key aspect of Casablancas' singing is his use of falsetto, which he often switches between with his natural vocal range. Improving your falsetto technique can be a great way to expand your vocal range and add variety to your singing. Sing along with falsetto exercises like this Farinelli Breathing video to help you improve your control and range.

Casablancas also frequently employs a deep, elongated vibrato, which you can practice by singing along with songs like "Someday" or "Last Nite." If you're struggling with vibrato, this Beggars Bounce video provides a great introduction to the technique.
