Default Would Like to Learn How To Scream
Hi,

Is there anybody out there that would be kind enough to show me the proper technique of how to scream without ripping the vocal chords to shreds?

I have been singing for around 15 years now and it's something i'd really like to try and master and give me another slant to my singing.

I am available at nights for a demonstration.

Thanks in advance!

dm1.

Buy the Melissa Cross DVDs. A lot of pro screamers swear on them.

yep, as does Steve.

Melissa Cross is definitely the way to go. People I "know" who use them are Spencer Chamberlain (Underoath) and Brock Lindow (36 Crazy Fists). And that is just naming a couple.

Not only great for learning how to scream properly but also great vocal warm ups included.

I got that 'Zen Of Screaming' DVD and it was pretty balls. I'd been "singing" in punk rock and hardcore bands since I was 15 and it seems that the main reason people rip their voice to bits is because they are too concious about volume, and push too hard. The microphone is for volume. Just stay with what is comfortable. The technique she uses in the DVD seemed impossible for my body to perform, or maybe I'm just impatient/stubborn.
But it's like strumming a guitar harder to make it louder. Eventually something is going to break.

My advice would be to not scream. The world doesn't need anymore faux-metal bands anyway.

Perfect. Thanks for all your input. It is very much appreciated! Keep the suggestions coming...

I have been reading up on how to do it but I still wouldn't mind seeing someone perform the technique it in front of me to make sure I get started off on the right foot.

So, if there is anyone out there that does it properly and is willing to show me the way...

(Obviously I'd be willing to pay for their time if so required).

Cheers,

dm1
