thank you my horizon has expanded through this video. since i'm learning fry screaming i'm having trouble figuring out how a clear fry scream should sound. through the examples you showed it's much easier to understand
Edit: I see you have videos on the anatomy and possibly some of the other questions so I'll check those out! I have some questions if anyone knows the answers to them and is able to help (I'll list them as numbers so they're easier to reference): 1. Are fry screams considered pitched? Are false cord screams considered pitched? 2. Is pitched screaming essentially "true fold singing + false cord screaming"? When doing a pitched scream, should the sounds of true fold singing and false cord screaming blend together or should they stay separate? 3. Can you only really do pitched screams at the overlap in your modal and falsetto registers? 4. Is mixed screaming pretty much the same as a pitched scream? 5. Can you do pitched mixed screaming? 6. Should the fry sound happen above, below, or to the side or etc. of false cords? Iiuc fry screaming is from compression and so I'd think we'd have to push air first through the false cords because false cord screaming needs a lot of air and then do fry screaming's compression with muscles above that. But I haven't seen much definitively on that. This is such a [I feel like unnecessarily] confusing space with such confusing terminology. I thought your video did a good job making things clear and to the point. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment. Ill try to answer your questions as best as i can. 1.) Most people refer to a pitched scream as any scream that layers distortion over a discernable note. Both techniques allow you to do this. 2.) You are describing a pitched false cord scream. Its basically just singing while trying to vibrate your false cords above. It can give you a bit of grittiness in your singing voice. Go watch my vocal cover of Melancholy by SOI and listen to the chorus part where I sing. That's an example of me singing while lightly vibrating my FC's (except when I say the word "cast" that is a fry scream) 3.) It depends. I think that might be the case for pitched fry screams. With pitched FC screams, I personally can make my FC's vibrate independently of what my true cords are doing. 4.) I havent heard the term "mixed screams" but it might be another term for "hybrid screams" AKA FC and fry screams simultaneously. 5.) Kind of. I can do a pitched fry scream while lightly vibrating my false cords. 6.) False cord screaming does take a lot of air pressure but with many hours of practice it will eventually require significantly less air pressure. This is due to tissue adaptations of the false cords/arytenoid cartilage and also figuring out the perfect positioning of your mouth and throat. My advice is to pick one technique and spend a 1-2 years practicing it until you feel very strong with it, and then begin working on the other. Lastly, don't get caught up in all the terminology. Depending on where you look for information on distorted vocals, you will find many different, even contradicting ideas. As long as you know that fry screams are produced by the true folds, and false cord screams are produced by the false cords (maybe even some contribution from the arytenoid cartilage) then that's all you need to know. Both techniques can allow you to achieve extremely similar vocal styles. Both can be used to produce super brutal/demonic sounding lows, mids, and highs. Both can allow you to do pitched screams, and even more human sounding, emotional screaming styles.
@@Scream-Theory Thank you so much! This clears up a lot. I didn't know that our tissue would adapt for FC screams and assumed it was all technique and muscle memory, that's really cool. I'll go check out your cover of Melancholy by SOI!
Great video man! Thanks a lot I've been trying to learn false chord screaming, watched a ton of videos, but i still cant perform it. I've tried multiple ways; sighs, jumpropes, old grandpa, etc but none have triggered the sensation and im absolutely frustrated. I'm scared i might damage my throat so i just stopped trying. I think if someone can enlighten me, it's you. Hoping for a new false chord instruction video from you :')
send me an email with a recording. Screamtheoryvocalcoaching@gmail.com Ive seen a lot of cases where someone is activating their false cords but the fear of damaging their true cords prevents them from taking it any further. If I can hear you do if I can give you some advice!
does this really not hurt. I've been trying to scream and get in that post hardcore scene and it just hurts man lmao. I'm thinking about getting one of melissa cross's classes. Thanks for the sick video!
It shouldn’t hurt at all. I’m not gonna lie man, I’ve seen a lot of Melissa’s content and I don’t think she actually knows what she’s talking about when it comes to these techniques. but it’s your choice. You can also email me if you would like to. Screamtheoryvocalcoaching@gmail.com

As someone who is learning, I like your wording best. Thanks for all your tutorials thus far
