Callum Howle - Vocal Fry Scream Tutorial
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 07. 2024
- A basic fry screaming tutorial I put together pretty quickly. When I first learned how to do this, I didn't get much of an explanation. I picked it up by replicating the sounds that my friend showed me then practised every other day. Repetition is key but be vigilant, give yourself enough rest and don't hurt yourself! Remember, practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect.
Hopefully, the combination of my explanation and physically showing you the things you have to do to achieve a good vocal fry will help you. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll do my best to help.

how you edit the video?, it was great
@@idrisrestrepo8644 Thanks! I'm not great at video editing but Sony Vegas is super easy to use. 🙂
I got it after 10 (yes, ten) years and I have this video to thank.
It's because this video starts out from the basic sound everyone is capable of making as opposed to a halfway finished sound.
Forever in your debt, Mr Callum Howle
Amazing! No doubt it must be thrilling to finally achieve this after so long. Thank you for your heartwarming comment, Joey! 😊
Congrats!
6:56 - the most important fragment
*a long forced burp*...so while i’m doing tha-
😂😂😂
5:33 if I heard this on a public toilet I wouldn't know what to think...
Better not think about it.
This helped me learn the technique 🤐🤐
I go from groak, to crackle, and then when I lift up my diaphragm, I am silent.
But I'm no expert lol
If you only lift your diaphragm you wont have enough power. Try and blow some air out while keeping the compression and while doing the crackle
Finally! This is honestly the best Fry Scream Tutorial that i was able to find on youtube. I was always able to do the Groak but could never get to project it. I'll keep practicing it and maybe write a little update on my 'journey' to Fry Screams!
Glad I was able to help in some way man, let me know if you have any questions!
@@ConstructBand i do have a question. if im 17 and my voice isnt fully developed or matured, can i still scream? i mean i have a really deep voice but it tends to be quiet
@@kolbycheeze7607 Yes, of course! You can learn to do this at any age, just like singing. The pitches you're able to hit might change as your voice breaks more is all. I don't think not being able to project your voice well is anything to do with your voice developing though. Anyone at any age with any kind of voice can learn to project! You just need to practise and figure out the right technique. Power and projection all comes from your diaphragm, whether you're singing or screaming. You also need to figure out what your vocal range is and practise at pitches that are suited to you. You can figure out your range easily - just get a piano or keyboard, start somewhere comfortable and work your way up, singing along to each note. Then do the same but going down to the lower notes. The lowest note to the highest note you can hit in your chest registration (which is essentially your talking voice) is your range! Hope this helps.
@@ConstructBand Thanks Man! ive been trying vocal fry for a few months now and i havent had any success cuz my voice breaks out. i recently tried false chord like how amon amarth does it and ive been having more success. Thanks for the info!
I am agree with you Laurent
Thank you so much! This is something I have wanted to do for a few years but haven't been able to get anything actually down. But after two years (14-16) I actually have something that sounds like a scream. Thank you so much dude! You have no idea how much this means
This is honestly the best fry scream tutorial I've seen so far. Literally searched everywhere and this tutorial is the only one that made actual sense. Thank you so much
Just came back to thank this video for helping me figure this out. Took just under 8 months to get it all down and now I'm really excited to start putting it to use.
I posted a comment there like a week ago. I practiced very hard for the last few days and today I finally managed to 'unlock' my fry scream. This was like the only video that gave me a hint on how to scream properly, thank you!
I watched this video about 2 years ago and it was the simplest and easiest screaming tutorial on youtube. 2 years later, and I'm exactly where I want to be vocally. So, thank you for that.
Excellent news! Love hearing stuff like this. If you feel that you need further guidance or want to learn some more cool techniques, I now offer vocal lessons at very reasonable rates. Hit me up on instagram if you're interested - @colourlesscal
Video starts at 3:27
Edit: Video starts at 3:50
I saw a lot of tutorials, this is by far the best I've ever seen. nice work man!!
Linz De Strooper Thanks man! Happy to help. Let me know how you get on.
Construct this is a live footage of my band IF I MAY: czcams.com/video/IfX-FdHjLQE/video.html My screams aren’t there yet but I keep practicing!
Sounding awesome dude, keep at it! Also, your band sounds sick, I really dig it!
Thx man! same for your band! :)
Thank you so much. I've been struggling for a year with the last step from 'crackle' to actual fry scream. I find myself in the position where I can cover whole songs with just good sounding little crackles, but not yet the real thing. It sucks, but your video provided some key elements that I hadn't heard of yet and also more of an 'attitude' to this whole thing that is encouraging! Thanks a lot and the band is sick too!
Thank you for the kind words mate! Really pleased that you were able to learn from the video. If you're struggling, there are a few comments asking questions which I've replied to so be sure to check those out. If there's anything else you need to ask, feel free to do so. :)
Honestly, first tutorial ive seen in like 5 years that has helped me. The way you conveyed your thought process finally got me to understand the proper muscle cues. And ive been singing this whole time too, and in 5 years i've gotten pretty solid and i do know all the techniques and muscles youre talking about, i just never knew what to build the scream around. That groak sound really made it click in my head. Thanks man!
Awesome! Glad I could help mate
That was the only tutorial that helped me. All the other tutorials didnt work at all. Thank you very much :) Nobody mentioned the crackle sound and i thought it was wrong. Then i watched your video and now im on the best way to optimize it.
Happy to help!
Man i've been watching atleast 15 tutorials on yt on fry scream without any success and when i was done watching yours i got it all down in 10 minutes. Ive been singing clean for about a year with alot of practice so that probably helped me get there faster. THANK you.
Having knowledge on singing and a well trained voice is definitely an advantage! Glad I could help man :)
Hope your still training and hopefully your screams improved man LETS GO MAN HECK YA I’m more natural to the false chord technique but it’s always nice to learn something new.
Definitely one of the best basic tutorials for getting the correct noise going. It really helped me!
I came across this while watching other vocal lessons, and ide never heard of construct. What a band!!! I urge everyone to check them out if you haven't already. Amazing stuff
Thank you man! Hope the tutorial helped 😊
this is by far the best tutorial ive seen. ive looked everywhere through youtube and this is by far the best
Thanks man! Glad you think so 😁
@@ConstructBand dude i checked out our band. Dude it so good
@@WHOREHAMMER_OFFICIAL Thanks my guy. Shame we're not really a band nowadays. 😔
I've watched hours of videos for the fry scream technique. Yours was by far the best and easiest to watch. Cheers!
Thanks bro, happy to help!
It's been around a month i am trying to do "fry screaming". Watched many tutorials but i never felt like i was getting any progress. I never even get to first step in any of them but for the first time i actually got a close sound to "fry screaming". Your tutorial restored my faith man. Thank you.
Awesome dude! Glad it helped :)
This is the first video in 2 years of screaming at home that truly made me understand what is happening, the phases and how to do it. Thank you man for this incredible video. Greetings from Spain.
No problem dude, thanks for checking it out!
no other video has helped me the most more than this one
This is the best tutorial by far in my opinion. Good job dude.
Thanks dude! :)
I have been trying so hard to find someone that can explain this. Thank you so much.
No problem, thank you for the comment!
Perfect! This helped a lot. I’m using this tutorial to help me with my A-Level music tech composition
Awesome! You'll be a lot more qualified than me by the sound of it haha
Currently stucked with projection, but man has this been useful for just a couple months messing around with it. It's great how it feels to finally be in control of your diaphragm and folds compression, even to just a basic level. Been attempting false cords for years, wich might have helped me with this, but never knowing so much of whats going on in there and never feeling it to be this adecuate and safe. I wish my body interiorised things faster to start singing ASAP, but you gotta give yourself time and keep practicing. Thank you so much for this vid!
False cord screaming will develop good breathing technique and diaphragmatic control for sure. Hope you continue to progress my dude. Happy screaming! 👍
Thank you! One of the very few well-explained videos. Very helpful :D
Dude...Don't know how I just found this video. The only video that has only help me by the end of your video I was screaming....wtf. Thank you for putting this out.
Great job breaking it down and starting from the groak every time!
Thanks man!
Wow, one of the only tutorials for fries that actually makes sense! Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching man, happy to hear I broke it down well enough for you!
This is the best video I've honestly watched among all the tutorials so far, the thing is I'm having some trouble doing the crackle and my throat is getting ticklish and a little itchy. Hope I get to do this fry scream soon :>
Got my lows and mids and a decent tunnel throat vocal, haven’t been able to do highs and I’ve been doing vocals for 5+ years this tutorial was badass I really got a lot from it
Thanks man! Yeah, fry screams aren't like super high like those gut wrenching ones that Dani Filth can do but you can get them high enough to sound good in most circumstances and they're safe. That's the great thing about them. Minimal risk of vocal damage or injury. Plus, I don't really like super high screams anyway. 😋
Construct if you know who Phil Bozeman is I wanna achieve his level of highs not super high but are on nonetheless a high scream, I got the first 2 steps down today and I’m gonna keep watching this over and over until I’m able to fry scream and again thanks for the tutorial
After seeing your video, I have been attempting to do some screaming. After a few weeks of intermittent practice, I managed to actually get a bit of a scream last night. It was kind of irritating to my throat, but nothing hurt. Will keep practicing. Thanks for the vid!
That sounds about right mate. Keep it up!
Finally someone who made me understand how to progress from the groak thing! Its all about getting the muscles tighter! Thanks dude
Happy days! Glad I could help bro 😁
Been lifting weights for years and we call it 'bracing' when you tighten up your guts, 'you should feel the spot above your belly button lift' is a great explanation!
Ahhh, so there is a proper term for it! I'll keep that in mind 😉
Not gonna bullshit man this video ACTUALLY helped me! As a teen I messed up my vocal cords in bands and at shows, not properly doing it without pain. I went the Pantera route and screamed like Phil Anselmo. I took his advice for instance… drink a lot of alcohol, smoke cigarettes, and never warm up. So I turned to beatboxing because I have a deep raspy voice from all the abuse. But I decided to give metal vocals another shot watching vids of the younger guys like yourself. A++ on this tutorial. 🤘
I've always thought It never sounded loud in person without a mic and I thought I could never do it and then i tried a mic and damn it was decent I thought it was yelling and screaming like when your pissed off but obviously not 🤣
Mate, thanks so much for the tips! I've been trying to scream for about a month and then I found your video around 1 month ago and i just did my first scream last week! Now I just need to practice the projection and control for years i guess haha.. Cheers mate!
Awesome! Nice to hear that you're progressing well 😊
watched so many videos. finally i can do it. thank you.
Awesome!
After watching 6 different videos with 6 failed attempts, this one video helped me get it first time ...I guess i was born natural considering i was doing it when i was younger before even realizing what is was or how i done it, thanks dude :D
Good stuff man, glad I could help 😊
The best tutorial for fry scream!!! Love from Philippines
Thanks bro! 🖤
Dude, I didn't want to watch this tut cause this video "was to long" for me.
It is by now the best tut I've ever seen.
I watched severel videos but I couln't get the scream.
I will practice it and I hope it will work!
Thx m8 4 the video
I tried to make it as short as possible but I feel like 90% of it is important! There are no shortcuts when learning vocal techniques. Thanks for watching!
sounds sick dude - never really been too interested in trying it but saw your fb link and here i am
Thanks man! Give it a go if you get bored or something 😆
bro i love you. you taught me how to do it bro. i will never loose my respect for you you deserve a subscribe for me
Thanks brother! This CZcams channel is unused nowadays, I'd really appreciate it if you subscribed to my personal channel! 🖤

This helped me so much thank you!💖
One of the best videos I've come across tnxx
Thank you!
Excellent vid! I actually made progress, thank you!
The gurgly tip gave me an excellent idea how to perform screams. I can control it much easier and I can also find the technique much easier and I don't feel even a tickle
good tutorial. To be honest the best one around. thanks!
Thanks Peter! Glad you dig it
Watched a bunch of fry scream videos but gotta say that this one was the best of all... Thnx
Thanks buddy, glad to hear it :D
😄
Most helpfull tutorial out there!! Honestly, thanks so much!
No problem, thank you for the appreciation!
Dude thank you so much. This by far is the easiest to follow video. One getting there slowly. My goal is to resemble something of Chester Bennington and now because of you I’m determined to get there. Thanks!
With enough practice, you will do! Thanks for the kind words dude!
Construct Thank you and you’re welcome!
Honestly dude, you have helped me a huge deal. Couldn't find any decent people to learn from, I think I understood you cause we are both from UK 😂 Thank you so much brother and if you could do a growl tut that would be great. Keep on going lad
Thanks so much man! Happy to help. I may do a false cord tutorial when I have time, which can be used to growl. 😊
@@ConstructBand that sounds great man, I look forward to seeing it 😁
Great demo!
seriously i never found a good explaination for how to do it before i found you
Thanks man 😊
This helps me a little
Awesome! Gonna start trying to do this!
joeyconscript Let me know how it goes dude!
Nice vid and great explanations, thank you!
Thanks for the comment! 🙏
oh hi there my name is net I watched this video one year ago today and I have learned to scream from this video and I've practiced and sound amazing 10/10
Thanks bud for the input into vocal fry
Thanks for your comment Karl!
Thank you, thank you and thank you. I finally got it down after watching this tutorial.
Amazing! Glad to have helped 🙌
I lileraly watched the video and started doing it
Wicked! Thanks for watching mate :)
I found this enormously helpful! Thank you for sharing.
Awesome tutorial!
Thanks! 😁
Bro, you got a subscriber, I watched your video two weeks ago and I did my first decent fry Scream yesterday :D .. couldn't believe it.. also I already had the groak but no one on CZcams had a tutorial teaching the other steps.. best tutorial ever... Btw, I was scared, but it actually took me less than a month to get it right.. thank you so much, I would not have done it without your advice :D
Result! Glad it helped so much man 😁
Thanks a lot dude
It helped a lot
Glad to hear it brother. Thanks for the comment!
thank you so so so much for sharing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank YOU for commenting!
I cant build from groak to crackle..but I can find the crackle somewhere 😂 But my Fry is too quiet damn
Fatality Tyrael Don't worry man, just try to be patient and persistent. It always starts off quiet, it takes time and practice to be able to project it.
me neither....I try to tighten up but then it starts to hurt ^^
@@pipigogerl don't push it too much, try using your false chords
that´s where it starts. I don´t know how they feel or how to get to use them D:
Nailed it on first try! LOL i know how to growl tho and "black metal scream". But what i did to do it was doing the groak to crackle then you have to think about pushing all the muscles around the throat and push with the belly, and then PUSH MORE :D i started with aioue vovels. Now its just practicing.
tbh, this video has the clearest explanation, even thought I stil cant do a crackle properly
As you're activating your diaphragm and holding the groak, try to push the airflow further to the back of your throat and contract the muscles around your vocal cords. Hopefully this helps!
Thanks very much for the reply. I'll try my best to improve. Cheers!
You taught me to fry scream bruh❣🤘 Respect from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵
🙌🙌🙌
cheers for this
You are my sensei 🙌
Arigato, Sachin kun 🙏
@@ConstructBand master 😭
I will Never let you down
Nice tutorial! Thank you very much! Really helps! :)
Dennis J Glad I can help dude! :)
Great video! \m/ Been looking for ways to improve my fry sound and your explanations actually make sense to me. Most of the "properly" trained vocal coaches waste way too much time talking about anatomy, it's actually kinda useless coz I dunno what that anatomy feels like! and then they have exercises that don't make sense, like they're skipping steps in their instructions. Whereas you use non-technical methods I can actually understand :D it's like when I learned to false chord growl, I only figured it out after watching Angela Gossow tell a guy to pretend to be a big dog and do star jumps. I like dogs! I can do that haha! And I love my growls now but the limitations are starting to bug me so I'll try your tips to get my fry scream going ^_^ adding this video to my favourites :D
P.S. thanks for those bookmarks!
I think a lot of vocal coaches talk about the anatomy because they don't know how to explain it in layman's terms! It's a bit of a cop out. Learning about the anatomy is definitely important but I don't consider it to be a valid method of teaching techniques. I prefer a more contemporary approach, showing people what I'm doing and explaining it with sound effects that can be imitated and will push you in the right direction. Thanks for checking out the video man!
I found this even with learning regular singing tbh! It's interesting to learn about the anatomy, but that doesn't help me work out how to sing better. I think your approach is much more practical. ^_^ I also love that you also have things in a solid step-by-step format. Thanks again for posting it, gives me something to work on while I'm between bands :D
thx dude
Sick video dude!
Cheers guys! Hope to play a show with you guys again soon ❤
Definitely 👊
I definitely need to try this. Been watching screaming tutorials for over 10 years and mostly for false chord screaming yet they usually say the same thing "push with your diaprham and make a sighing noise" and I never really understood it.
This was actually helpful since you explained it from the beginning like groak and then pushing it there.
I do have some guestions though:
1. You mentioned that you made warm ups, you mentioned zen of screaming and also vocal scaling, should I also make warm ups before practising? I know it is a silly question but I just want to be thorough.
2. You also mention throat muscles, now I have never really given any thought to throat muscles or on how to "use them" so if you could explain how to do people use them or if you can make a video about them then I would appreciate it a lot. Like you said something about moving your throat upwards, is that using your throat muscles or am I way off grid here? :D
3. Have you watched other vocal tutorials that you found helpful?

I like your bro science approach, very realist. if you can please make a video showing you practicing normal low voice vocal fry. just you practicing so I can see how to develop it
Thanks man! It's been about 2 and a half years since I made this video and I have a much better understanding of the anatomy now. I can't imagine I'll make the video you're suggesting but if you want one to one tuition over Skype, I don't charge much. Hit me up on insta - @colourlesscal.

I really want to be able to scream to my favorite bands, please do more tutorials
Best day of my life. British Charli Puth teaching me how to fry scream
I'm already getting the hang of this! Sometimes I'll feel something catch in my throat and I'll cough.
That's pretty normal man, it's a very tickly technique! Keep going at it, you'll soon smooth it out. 😊
Best video on the web for fry screaming. Do you open your throat while singing, like when you yawn, or not?
Thanks man! You don't open up your throat when you're fry screaming. You do the opposite if anything! You create a lot of compression around your vocal folds so that they only have a tiny amount of room to move and they have no choice but to move rapidly and sort of vibrate. For singing, I would say yes but I wouldn't advise emulating a yawn while you sing. It should feel as natural as talking, with added power from your diaphragm, then you need to focus on retaining the position of your throat and diaphragm to hold out the required note. This can differ with other techniques though, such as head voice and falsetto. There is no diaphragm power involved with those techniques. Hope this helps!
Great tutorial man! First one ive been able to find where it doesn’t hurt like hell, still feels weird and is hard to hold but I guess that just comes with practice. im still confused with one thing tho, does this technique involve false chords at all?
Yep, that's normal at first. Give it some time and practise consistently. You'll be screaming like a beast in a few weeks. 😏
Alright man cool vid, iv been researching a lot about fry, I can do false and I mainly use it like yourself maybe a bit of lead
But you see for example Corey Taylor I love his scream but his is more false chords I would say but when I perform any metal cover I will mainly be doing fry screams
I could do the groak thing then was running into a wall then but later on because I just need that crackle and then over time projecting and shit but cool vid man 😎👍🤘
finally. see, i can easily false chord scream but i wanted to fry scream to match some of my favorite artists. because when Matt shadows screams its obvious that im false chord screaming and that hes fry screaming when i do my covers of avenged sevenfold
Awesome! Glad I could help mate :)
well i cant add my voice man. ive been trying everything and i dont know where im going wrong
Just keep trying bro. I promise you, it WILL come soon. Just keep toying with it and the more comfortable you get with the actual fry technique, the easier projection and pitching will be!
so many bs videos out there telling useless and unprecise information…
might not be the best tutorial ever ^^’ but definitely the one that helped me the most
thanks a bunch, really
Definitely not the best but I tried! Haha. I have a lot more knowledge on it now and have come up with what I think is a better teaching method. I should revisit this video and do more tutorials at some point. Thanks for the comment dude. 🙂
Don't know if you still reply to the comments on this video, but this has really been helping me a lot. Quick question though, how exactly did you practice after you got the sound down? Did you just mock-scream songs, just make the sound, or what? I have the basics but I just dont know what steps I need to take to further it exactly.
Yeah, literally just keep working on it and try to practise along to other songs man. It's always good to hold out different vowel sounds for muscular growth and development too. "Ay, ee, i, oh, u, ahh (like in "far"), ehh (like in "red", ihh (like in "it"), uhh (like in "cut"). Practise them at different pitches and make sure you can achieve the desired sound for each vowel.
Would love to see a tutorial on adding voice from you!
Slowly getting better at it :D
Great! If you feel like you'd benefit from some one to one tuition, I do vocal lessons over Skype. All you need is a webcam, a decent microphone and a willingness to learn. Hit me up on Instagram if you're interested - @colourlesscal
Best tutorial I've found. I can create that fry sound now, but I don't get a lot of volume. Will that come with practice?
Keshav is spot on with his reply. Take note of what he says!
I'm having real trouble going from the groak to the crackle - whenever I try and tighten my throat muscles it feels almost gurgly, and something tells me that it's the wrong feeling. If I just push the fry, I can get it louder and more from a head voice place though, I don't know if that's helpful?
This is an amazing tutorial, please do one for false cord!
I may just do that mate! If I do, it'll be on my personal channel so make sure you subscribe preemptively. ✌
czcams.com/users/Geozone
Perfect wayne static pitch man
Whenever I scream to much of my voice comes out I don't know how to fix it.
BTW love this video best on CZcams for vocal fry
Just came across this, but this seems one of the better explained fry scream tutorials I've found. Hopefully I'm able to get it done. Thanks for this!
Out of curiosity, is it possible to use fry and false cord at the same time?
Honestly, it's not something I've ever experimented with but I can't imagine it's possible. When you scream using false cord, there's quite a lot of airflow due to the nature of the technique (allowing the false cords to flap by guiding the air a certain way). Vocal fry is almost breathless so I doubt it's feasible!
@@ConstructBand That makes sense. Thanks!
I've been a death metal vocalist for 10 years. Never really could get this down until now, Killer tutorial man.
Awesome, thanks man! Always helps to have some prior experience so no doubt you picked it up pretty quickly.
Hi there, thank you so much for the tutorial, I still struggle from the groak to the crackle part. I have no problem groaking, but once I try it harder, my chin always tends to go forward and I feel my vocal cords closing to the point I can't really project any whatsover, any tips? Thanks so much
