My voice used to hurt so much and do these things when I'd try to scream, but when I finally worked on clean singing (for like a year), I finally could understand what people like you meant in tutorials! Now I can hear (you do sounds) and then make those same sounds way more naturally! Also I think one thing that blocked me from fry screaming in particular was literally trying too hard XD. Great video, keep it up! I'm happily subscribed!
Clean singing can give you a much better access to your voice which can help you when screaming! And trying too hard, being too loud or too tense is a very typical fry scream mistake :)
I used to listen to Chris Liepe for screaming tutorial. But eversince I watched your videos, everything became clearer and easier. I can scream now, for just a couple of minutes, although it sounds terrible🤘 4 mins. of screaming lessons every 4hrs❤
Dont overdo it! Once you KNOW it is proper tehcnique and it feels good and leaves no effect on your voice you can go for a bit longer and a bit longer :)
I've been wanting to learn to scream for years. Every time I've tried I gave up because I couldn't find any free/inexpensive tutorials that were good/in depth. Now that I've found yours, I'm finally giving it a real shot with learning fry screaming. So far I've got the buzz down pretty well. I usually sing with some "twang" and rasp anyway (big pop punk fan), so that came easy. Compression is a bit harder. Trying to sing while compressing is extremely awkward but I got it plus the buzz going a couple times. My throat feels a little weird now, but my voice is functioning normally. I made sure to warm up/test my voice prior too. Will try adding the breathiness next after resting for a bit. Really appreciate you actually making this feel doable to me, for the first time ever. Found you via someone's recommendation on r/screaming by the way!
Hey there, awesome to hear that you are making progress! I recommend before learning the breathiness that you get very good at the compression + rasp first. Get each component going and build some strong muscle memory before you advance. You are in it for a marathon, not a sprint :)
I absolutely could not scream until I found your videos and your website. Tried for months and didn't realize I was doing it wrong until I found you. Keep up the good shit, man!!
Your videos may be few and your channel is new, but they helped me a lot which watching a lot of long and boring videos could not! Thanks for these useful videos, keep going your channel is gonna get famous soon!
Screams and distortion still differ and should differ from voice to voice. When a scream or distorted sound carries over the unique timbral characteristics of your clean voice it's a good sign that you're singing sustainably without strain and this will result in a richer, more interesting sound. Think of the characteristic signature of each technique as being superimposed onto the timbre of your voice. These changes are the thing that should be the same for any singer.
Good videos man! Gonna need some moooore! Could you elaborate on the difference between a fatigued voice and a "hurt" voice (when you did something wrong)? And also how should your throat, nose and mouth feel in the sence of straint and vibrations etc. Would be great
The sensations can vary depending on WHAT you do, how LOUD you do it, and what PLACEMENT you have. Don't go so much by feeling but go by sound and how it makes your voice feel. A fatigued voice is where it is just harder to do the coordinations of singing demanding stuff and you need to be very very focused and do it exactly right. It may also be a tiny bit lower than normal. A hurt voice will have the warning signs i told in the video
Unless you have a morning voice (just woke up, voice feels creaky, dry and low) there is no physiological need to warm up. You can do 5 minutes of quiet singing, comfortable range. Then 5 minutes of going gradually higher and eventually louder. Then practice screaming. Work your way up in terms of volume and power.
Is it possible to feel and distinguish strain and/or fatigue on false folds vs normal vocal folds? I really only know how to do false chord screams and I sometimes feel some fatigue but my normal voice range is unaffected at least from what I can tell
Yo GREAT channel. Very different yet straight forward explaining of how to and just tips. I still struggle with getting deep low gutturals with tongue top teeth and butthole mouth as I cannot find the right amount of air flow out without my tongue blocking the gut deep wet sound. I'm going to keep browsing through your videos in hopes of finding like a diaphragm explanation by you but also I'm not sure how to word it but like I can do death metal loud especially like tunnel throat but when I do my guttals I don't do them loud but I kind of like strict my throat I guess but I still get that wet ass fucking sound like I want more power to that I'm terrible at replies but if you could reply back to be awesome dude I will try to catch it. If I do not and you do then I appreciate it and I'm sorry for being a terrible person lol but your simple explanations yet they're so intricate at the same time like you're doing fucking awesome dude thank you.
Thank you so much. It is highly appreciated. I think you'd benefit a lot from reading the articles i wrote about screaming on singandscream.com . Let me know if that answers your questions then. There is lots of conflicting information about screaming and I'm trying to give information that is openly accessible.
I have never practiced screaming before and I admit you technique works very well. I don’t practice normal singing either, but I can sing Steelheart easily so I gave it a try. I tried screaming for a minute or two and at one point I even surprised myself with a scream so perfect (to me lol) that I would have never expected that to come out ! After that, my vocal folds tingles a bit when I swallow, and it lasts for several hours, but I can still sing normally across my entire range, except some breathiness in the highs. It does that even when I sing normal high notes for too long (steelheart ahah). So is it normal that my vocal folds feel sore, probably because of the lack of practicing ?
Your folds should not feel sore. What is common at the start is that it feels itchy or provoking a cough or it feels very dry and afterwards your throat feels a bit warmer. These should go away after getting used to the false folds making sound. When practicing again closely monitor how loud and tense you truly must be when screaming. Often you can dial it back and people just push way too hard at the start.
@@SINGANDSCREAM Yes you’re right it’s more like itchy and dry. The more I practice, the less time these side effects last. Now it does it for no longer that ten minutes after a song. I must thank you for your tutorials, and also my ford focus, in which I can sing and scream properly, although people are making a weird glance when I pass by.
@@SINGANDSCREAM Thanks for these great advices (the video and comments). My throat feels exactly like this with the feeling like there´s phlegm there but my range feels normal. Though I do notice that my voice feels lower than it did previously like I´m trying to do vocal fry with my usual voice
The thing I think that keeps bogging me down is A: I don't sing, I don't have any vocal foundation to build on so if something depends on that foundation, I just don't have it and B: I don't know how to tell what I'm doing wrong from what I'm doing right, when I try to practice it feels the same as if I were just screaming at someone cause I was pissed off, and I know that's wrong because obviously pissed off screaming is super damaging to the vocal folds, but I don't know what it feels like to do it right so I don't know how to get there.
You don't need to be able to sing to scream. It helps but it's not mandatory. In your case I'd recommend you to get a teacher or going for a step by step tutorial. I created a very long and in depth one at singandscream.com Check out the fry scream tutorial there and let me know if that helps you or not alright?
@@SINGANDSCREAM you're a much better teacher than most the people I try to learn from. Most of the videos I watch leave out things like compression, and now after reading through the course I also know that the thing they were teaching was entirely different from what I wanted to learn in the first place.
If the voice checks tell you that your voice is doing well and what you are doing is comfortable you can also go for longer. Frequency is much more important though. Make practicing OFTEN your priority, not so much practicing very very long.
That's because you likely go up too chestily and heavy. You need to start with a very soft and gentle sound. Regardless this sounds like a very common singing coordination thing - not vocal problems.
If your voice check reveals fatigued or hurt vocal folds DO NOT CONTINUE practicing. Rest until your voice is back to normal.
Hey brother. I'm using my vocal fry while screaming. It's hurting my throat after some time. Can you help me out?
Your stuffs are really cool. Can you share your email or insta id so i can send you some of my demo
This is actually gonna be so helpful thanks dude 🤟🏻🎸

This is helpful, now i know why my voice is so fucked when i practiced when i was in 8th grade i've been doing it wrong and i force my self
More tutorials please
Please make more videos on how to do vocal scream
Dude. I love your channel. Please can you do a video of the various screaming warm-ups and exercises?
Unless you have a morning voice (just woke up, voice feels creaky, dry and low) there is no physiological need to warm up. You can do 5 minutes of quiet singing, comfortable range. Then 5 minutes of going gradually higher and eventually louder. Then practice screaming. Work your way up in terms of volume and power.

Kyo from Dir En grey used this technique alot for reference

You should do a scarlxrd scream tutorial man, that will be awesome
His screams are deffo unorthodox! Partially vocal fry partially compression and false fold distortion
@@SINGANDSCREAM oh, thanks man 😁
i practice daily for an hour or maybe an hour and half. is it ok to practice more than an hour ? ❤️

Chester benningtons scream and rasp please
oh great idea!
0:11 why does my voice break between the chest voice and the falsetto? It kind of stops making sound right when it should transfer into falsetto lo
That's because you likely go up too chestily and heavy. You need to start with a very soft and gentle sound. Regardless this sounds like a very common singing coordination thing - not vocal problems.
That's what i exactly do because if i don't I'll make my throat sore and regret it... Not a professional in any way though
Absolutely right! BUT if you have proper technique you should then also be able to go for 30 minutes to an hour of screaming without negative effects.
Can you show how to scream like Chester Bennington
oh that's a great idea! On my video idea list
@@SINGANDSCREAM cool I’ll be looking for it
