Well said man. A lot of "how to scream" videos on youtube easily end up coming across as confusing, but I think you did well to keep it as simple and relatable as possible. Would love to hear that continue into the pitched screaming topic.
Thanks a lot for watching Dylan! Definitely have some extra things to mention in the pitched screaming one based on everyone’s questions. Glad that I didn’t film them in the same day Are there any topics you’d like me to elaborate on in the next videos?
I started playing in a hardcore/metal band (although today this would surely be called metal core lol but we never used that term at the time) around 2000/2001, and I had a hell of a time figuring out how to do this right. For the first year or so my technique was terrible and I would push too hard and blow out my voice. After seeing various bands live and studying the singers I started ti notice the way the singers often were screaming without looking like they were straining and about to blow an artery or something, and eventually figured out the correct technique, or something close to it. I stopped playing metal for the most part soon after, by taking too much acid one night and discovering the Grateful Dead (I’m serious-sorry everyone), but I still love metal, especially been going back to it in recent years, but god damn I wish I would’ve had a video like this back then. Great explanation!
Insane. I've tried pretty much EVERY TECHNIQUE, watched EVERY VIDEO, yet couldn't get past whisper screams (that damaged my throat). Five minutes after watching your video, I managed to actually do it. This video is PURE GOLD, thank you so much for this tutorial 🙏
dude, thank you so much, seriously - i have a year of experience fry screaming and i've been playing with a band almost that whole time and this video has helped me take the power and aggression of my screams to the next level. the tip about not holding back is also extremely helpful, cause i've tried doing that at shows to make my voice last longer but it just ended up making my throat feel scratchy.
Thanks so much for watching and I’m stoked it helped ! I also noticed that for myself as well. And it’s weird because it seems obvious to hold back to preserve but it ends up hurting more. Obviously don’t overly push to be obnoxious, but once you find that perfect pocket. You’re good.
Dude thank you so much for checking it out. That is very much so the unfortunate reality for a lot of people. Will have to wait until people are out of the house/ apartment or even try the technique into a pillow haha. Hope to hear Eric’s vocals on the new jams soon
Hahaha damn that sucks man. I feel very lucky to have had semi soundproof room. And back in the days of actually writing songs in a room, had plenty of time to get loud. The cup thing is interesting tho. How far do you need to have it placed v
Same!! I screamed at 12:00 AM when I thought that everyone must be in deep sleep and I screamed the hell out and my uncle came to my study room (where I do my studies and singing) and asked "Is everything all right?" I said "Yeah yeah I was just practicing screaming". I felt so guilty.
This is great advice! I noticed tho that this video is recorded at home, a great place to practice screaming surely, however I encourage you, and everyone else, to practice their screaming techniques wherever they go. I used to practice as an inventory sales associate, they loved hearing me randomly belt out a good high pitch growlscream while counting the shelves!
Hahaha as long. As you don’t get fired, and feel comfortable, I say go for it. If you’re holding back or self conscious, definitely more likely to hurt yourself
CJ Mcmahon is one of if not my favorite vocalist because he's so damn good at mixing his actual voice in with the more monster sounding vocals. It's something I dream of.
I just started my career as a vocalist about a week ago. At first I had a lot of trouble changing the pitch of my own voice and i just know how to false cord in the wrong way. This video really helped my progress. thank you so much!
Definitely give it a try and don’t feel like you need to hold back. But also don’t push yourself unnecessarily. It’s a balancing act. Thanks so much for watching!
I've only been into metal for just under a year, but I'm so into it now. I went to Northlane's concert in Melbourne in Feb of this year and I was blown away - I just loved the energy of the crowd. I was just outside of the mosh-circle radius, so I got collided int oa bit, but I didn't care at all. I used to dedicate my singing to mostly classical techniques, but now I'm really determined to get into this hardcore style. I love all these insturction videos, so.... thank you. Thank you very much.
I appreciate that! I definitely am considering it because there are some out there but I feel like they’re missing some information that I found extremely helpful. What kind of vocals do you do?
@@BrendonKPadjasek It's honestly what I found easier to start with. Originally I was trying to aim for the screaming style Adrian from Northlane used to do but I just didn't know enough about screaming at the time. My favorite vocalist are Adrian fitipaldes, Ryo kinoshita, and Brian Willie
Oh yeah I think Adrian does a similar thing to what I’m doing from touring with him years ago. At least I think so. Not sure what Ryo is doing but he’s a beast and killed it every day on those tours we did
I would add that this technique is usual referred to as a fry scream. The other one mentioned typically used in the death side of the core/metal genre is typically called false chord. The fry’s you use are definitely mixed in with a lot of natural voice but it doesn’t necessarily need to be this way. Using more compression with a fry scream can lead to some pretty sweet tones for all sides of metal.
I absolutely agree with you on all of what you said. The draw back to introducing more compression with a fry scream is that you lose a bit more of the person’s individual sound. And then you end up sounding like the large majority of vocalist that sound quite similar - indistinguishable. That’s why I titled the video as such, as I’m trying help people find their individual approach. Thanks for watching and for commenting the things I didn’t mention in the video. Appreciate it! What kind of vocals do you do?
I've always enjoyed singing along to Linkin Park and 30STM, but could never hit those crazy-scream notes, this is gonna be immensely helpful, thank you!
Hey thank you so much! I’ve always loved Chester’s voice as well. I believe he’s laying back on the pushing side of things so take it easy at first and find your comfortable spot. I know he’s able to hold some screams out for crazy long so it’s all about finding the right compression
That sorta voice cracking hollering thing that happened on his lower scream to the end is what made it click for me a while back. It's that sorta rasp that appears when your voice is breaking between head voice and chest voice. If anyone is having trouble after watching this tutorial try ramping up like he does but when your voice breaks into head voice try going back and forth, and letting yourself yodel.
I learned from loosing my voice every few days at band practice 20 years ago. Literally no one showed me anything, just screamed at the top of my lungs for hr’s…it took a few years before I could fully control all diff styles of distorted vocals. Now 20 years on I can do any style with zero damage...My normal voice is also fine btw ..it is amazing how much damage it can heal from. I do feel like learning at low volume then getting louder later would be safer for people. After all these years I would say learning Volume/breath control is the most important thing.
this is the technique i randomly discovered after countless trial and error on my own, and i wasn't sure if it was correct or not at first until i saw this video my only issue is, sometimes my screams are too voiced, when i just want the pure distortion of the fry scream. but other than that, this is the technique that truly clicked for my vocals not that whole "just get the fry register sound in your throat and compress it simple"
Yeah I always hurt my throat when I tried that fry register one. I know what you mean about the too much voice in the scream. I usually have a note of some sort assigned to my scream but I personally like that. I do want to learn false chord though
@BrendonKPadjasek yeah no i completely agree, the voice through the scream makes it unique af to yourself. also only just realized you're the vocalist for structures? love your music man, I've listened to you guys since i was in high school back when you dropped "life through a window"
Took me a couple of years while commuting for 2 hours a day to discover this exact thing. Cool to see someone else out there in the same boat. The problem I have is developing and maintaining the tolerance in my throat. I can achieve this, but not maintain it. Consistency will build these muscles hopefully.
Yeah I feel like after understanding where the tone comes from and how to create it, taking a step back and not putting %100 in ends up allowing you to do it for a full song
this video only makes sense if you know how to fry scream to begin with. I can't get the "chest" distortion at all. if i push like you said my voice breaks. I have been a singer for 17+ years in semi pro band, but never managed to figure out fry scream
I love the information you give. 20 years of doing vocals myself only I'm all self taught so I have a hard time explaining some of what I'm doing especially my crazy highs and I'm constantly being asked for tutorials on them lol.
@BrendonKPadjasek np man! I'll be sure to check out more of your content. If you ever have the chance too I recommend taking a look at one of my black dahlia covers. Or anything of mine really.
Man, to this day Earth Gazer is still one of my favourite songs and you're one of my top vocalists thanks to that track. So glad I found this video on my recomendations
Thank you so much for this video. Unfortunately, the "Don't hold back" part is the most hard in it cause a lot of people just afraid of being judged. So do i ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's absolutely the hardest part about vocals in general I find. It's such a mental thing and the minute you start feeling unconfident, it all falls apart. You can always try it into a pillow lol just to get the idea down and comfortable. But then finding a place to put it into practice is the hard part
Definitely liking and subbing. And i dont do that too much. Thanks man. Really. Im 31, been writing singing low screaming/yelling for 15yrs now or so. Always have the passion. This video literally helped me in some ways as far as what im doing wrong. I practiced your techniques, and i guess with the previous experience i been having i nailed it. Thanks man
Here we go, my 100,000th tutorial after almost 18 years and still not able to scream, lets see of this is the one Edit: so unfortunately for me one of the steps was " add distortion " which is exactly what i don't know how to do........ bummer
I was listening to structures since high school and didn’t listen to you guys in a while. I’m now in my twenties. I randomly stumped upon this video and had no idea you were from structures until you said so. The way my eyes lit up at this full circle moment.
I didn't expect the vocalist for a pretty heavy band to be such a chill and down to earth dude haha, I was also aware of structures long before seeing this, so awesome :) this was really helpful
Lol the music doesn't make the person who they are who the person is makes the music your background your race your upbringing doesn't define what your musical preference should be there's buisness men who listen to metal and factory workers who listen to opera were all unique and our interests don't decide who we are we decide what our interests are. The dudes from infant annihilator sing about the most evil shit but are kind and very social and happy people
I sing a lot at my work as a daycare teacher, and I find that my voice strains throughout the day. So, im definitely going to try these exercises to see if they help.
Oh they should definitely help with removing strain especially for actual singing. My vocal instructor was an amazing vocalist and I can definitely say my projection improved drastically using these techniques.
I'm only a year late but I'm thinkin about doin metal among other styles of music so from 101 to infinity BRING IT ON❣️ Much love and many blessings to you
I really like the vocals in the recording of the Roadhouse live concert, great job. I still often eavesdrop. I was also pleased with your joint track with Northlane on the new album
@@BrendonKPadjasek not hurting at all! Just some fatigue if i don't warmup properly or if I "push" to much since it's not that long that i learned doing it! within some time i will be able to record something i guess!
This is perfect. I'm going to practice and see if I can do it. By the way, I've watched a lot of Chris Liepe videos - it's nice to see him being quoted.
Oh yeah Chris is great. Love his approach and explanations Thank you. Hope it works out, just be sure to take it slow and if you feel strain , go a bit softer and take the steps in parts
lol no I think it definitely happens to us all. I know a lot of engineers purposely make the recording room a bit warmer to loosen up the vocal chords as well

Well im sat here and im sure my neighbours think im possessed
Hahaha as long as they don’t call the cops, you’re good
@@BrendonKPadjasek it's been 5 months and they're still not back.... I fear the cops and the exorcist have been called.
"Take a break if youre voice starts to feel fried" no pun intended
Hahaha I didn’t even realize that. Good ear haha
Me watching this simply because I don't want to sound like a strangled chicken while singing along to my tunes
Yep 100% me also
How's your screaming technique today?
I get up at 330am with a 1 hour drive into work, so i already feel like screaming. This will definitely help, awesome video with good info.
Hahahaha I love that! Thanks Kevin! I’m glad it’s helpful
Car is a great place to practice Hahaha
@ribeiropk I agree with this haha
"Sound like no one else"
Me: "no problem. Squeak squeak."
HAHAHAHAHAH that is amazing

This helped a lot with finding comfort in my own sound. Love that you spoke about how unique vocals can really set a band apart from the rest

Thank you! It’s definitely important to give credit where it’s due and also be realistic and self aware haha

He even talks in vocal fry.
I do! Hahaha. I’m thinking of going to another vocal coach to work on that
If only my walls weren't paper thin I would have loved to learn screaming vocals ! As always, great video with valuable advices :)

How far do you need to have it placed v
I agree that’s it’s vert soul crushing. I guess the best options is renting an hour at a rehearsal space
Same!! I screamed at 12:00 AM when I thought that everyone must be in deep sleep and I screamed the hell out and my uncle came to my study room (where I do my studies and singing) and asked "Is everything all right?" I said "Yeah yeah I was just practicing screaming". I felt so guilty.
@TTD-rocks999 hahahaha that’s definitely the hardest part. Finding the time and place to practice
Finally… FINALLY!!
Someone that explain’s it simply and manage to make me understand how to do it 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for checking it out! Glad it was easy for you to grasp
3:16 this is so funny for no reason lol
Lmfao absolutely. The classical music definitely helps lmao
I always have that:“YOURE A PART OF ME“. I love that scream with that reverb giving such a vibe 💪🏻
Thank you Domi! I love that album and all Northlane albums tbh haha
love the visual combo of anatomy & feeling. thanks man
If you have any other questions feel free to ask
This is great advice!

He’s definitely got a monstrous voice
Def want a pitched screaming vid. This is sick
Amazing. Thank you for watching. Seems like a lot of people want a pitch screaming tutorial as well
I've been trying to scream for a year but this video change everything i did it first try. even warm ups are amazingly helped my voice control
Eh thanks so much! Super glad it helps. Also Chris Liepe has a few great videos more in depth on the warm ups a swell
Driving while doing the tongue warm up earned some weird looks
I just started my career as a vocalist about a week ago. At first I had a lot of trouble changing the pitch of my own voice and i just know how to false cord in the wrong way. This video really helped my progress. thank you so much!
That’s awesome. I wish you good luck on your journey. It’s a long one that requires a lot of work
I just unlocked a new region of voice thanks to you :)
I’m so glad! Thank you! And always remember, if it feels like you’re doing damage, take a step back
I’m starting to wonder at 3:28 are we doing vocal warmups or learning how to eat the kitty😂
Lmfao!
I need to try this when I’m home alone 💀
Definitely give it a try and don’t feel like you need to hold back. But also don’t push yourself unnecessarily. It’s a balancing act. Thanks so much for watching!

I’ve never had such a good explanation in screaming. This is exactly what I needed to know, thanks a million!
No problem! Remember to take it in steps and if you feel like you’ve over done it or caused pain, take a break and try again another time
I really dig the way you use your distortion. This video was very helpful and you should definitely do that pitch screaming tutorial.

Hahahah thank you. Yeah I started in grade 9
7:45 this out of context over and over does it for me.
this was the most helpful out of all the different videos i’ve watched
Really glad to hear that. It’s the only way that made sense to me
Also i stil cant believe that structures made a comeback(?) New album is awesome, i wish there will be a sequel 🙂
Haha thank you for checkout the newest ep! You’ll have to keep your ears and eyes peeled haha

Amazing. Thank you so much! I plan on making more vocal videos seeing how many people are finding a liking to it

Did your parents ever think that you needed to be exorcised when you were practicing
They did but accidentally thought I needed to be exercised. So I got jacked as a kid. And then over time became the scrawny man I am today
My parents thought I was worshipping satan in my room. Or stubbed my toe. Either or.
@zackreaves9371 I didn’t realize there was a difference
I wish this kind of channel existed when inwas in high school. 22 years ago…
Trust me, same haha. that’s why I made it now to save everyone the 20 years of breaking themselves to figure shit out. Thanks for checking it out!
Everybody watching this video with their tongues going nuts
Lmao exactly!
You seem like such a kind, friendly person, i really enjoyed this video :)
Thank you! I like to help others with these videos
Rule one: if you can't do the technique quietly, you are doing it wrong. Been singing 34 years in extreme metal.
Oh sick! What band are you in?
Would love to hear some of your stuff
Wait so i can start practicing without getting evicted? 😂
Just let your voices heal. Doesnt have to be quiet
Where are you , bro , with your 34 years of vocals? You must have enough to pass on to the yout’?
Great video. I loved seeing you play with Northlane on the Alien tour. You have some nice dance moves too.
Hahaha thank you so much! I just let the music take over
this is the technique i randomly discovered after countless trial and error on my own, and i wasn't sure if it was correct or not at first until i saw this video

Yeah! Screaming is basically using your break in a safe way. That’s why it feels so silly at the beginning. But it shouldn’t hurt.
@adrienrequin5632 exactly
I love the information you give. 20 years of doing vocals myself only I'm all self taught so I have a hard time explaining some of what I'm doing especially my crazy highs and I'm constantly being asked for tutorials on them lol.

Thank you my friend! I loved that album even though most people hated it when. It came out haha. Or at least the internet would make you think so
"IMAGE NOT FOUND"😂😂😂
Thank you! I'm hoping this will help me sing along better with Chris and Lane.🤘😆🤘
Yeah they’re great. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Unfortunately, the "Don't hold back" part is the most hard in it cause a lot of people just afraid of being judged. So do i ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's absolutely the hardest part about vocals in general I find. It's such a mental thing and the minute you start feeling unconfident, it all falls apart. You can always try it into a pillow lol just to get the idea down and comfortable. But then finding a place to put it into practice is the hard part
@@BrendonKPadjasek Thank you so much for an advice!
No worries. Also if you drive you can always try it in the car haha. Let the traffic hear you
Definitely liking and subbing. And i dont do that too much. Thanks man. Really. Im 31, been writing singing low screaming/yelling for 15yrs now or so. Always have the passion. This video literally helped me in some ways as far as what im doing wrong. I practiced your techniques, and i guess with the previous experience i been having i nailed it. Thanks man
Always so happy to hear that. Thank you my friend! I haven’t made a vocal video in a while but I’ll find the right topic and time to do so
I'll look for the "how to sing" first
Good call!
Great information and tips! Wish I saw this a year ago when it was first posted.. I'll be checking you out more!
Eh thanks so much! I plan to make a few more videos soon
Here we go, my 100,000th tutorial after almost 18 years and still not able to scream, lets see of this is the one
Edit: so unfortunately for me one of the steps was " add distortion " which is exactly what i don't know how to do........ bummer
Me too
Same! Idk how to add distortion…
Distortion is that scratchiness, shouldn't be that hard
@@yup7242 it is for me man, it just doesn't work for some reason
@@reginameyers same boat
Well I love this video. You and Will Ramos are excellent teachers
EH thanks so much! I was watching his the other day as well
@@BrendonKPadjasek No problem, man. I can already feel a difference
@@ScopeShadow94 that’s amazing to hear
0:40 song name?
It’s an instrumental I made on this channel
ruclips.net/video/rjt4frLWOBk/видео.htmlsi=lvBOc2Cxa-mMbKcY
@@BrendonKPadjasek super cool!
thanks man, my screaming style feels so dry and generic, but with this tutorial, I feel like Imma be able to do the style I want.
That makes me so happy to hear
Definitely interested in that Pitch Screaming video!👍🏼
I like the Redwood Tree vocal exercise! I learned it as "Greenwood tree" in high school choir.
Oh interesting Ive never heard of that one
Спасибо за объяснение возникновения звука на основе своего опыта! Очень познавательно
I was listening to structures since high school and didn’t listen to you guys in a while. I’m now in my twenties. I randomly stumped upon this video and had no idea you were from structures until you said so. The way my eyes lit up at this full circle moment.
ehh thanks for the continued support! Means a lot!
@@BrendonKPadjasek I discovered u guys with hydroplaning
I didn't expect the vocalist for a pretty heavy band to be such a chill and down to earth dude haha, I was also aware of structures long before seeing this, so awesome :) this was really helpful
Eh thanks so much! Yeah I’m just a normal guy that is fortunate to do what he loves for a living. No reason to not be kinda and helpful haha
Lol the music doesn't make the person who they are who the person is makes the music your background your race your upbringing doesn't define what your musical preference should be there's buisness men who listen to metal and factory workers who listen to opera were all unique and our interests don't decide who we are we decide what our interests are. The dudes from infant annihilator sing about the most evil shit but are kind and very social and happy people
I sing a lot at my work as a daycare teacher, and I find that my voice strains throughout the day. So, im definitely going to try these exercises to see if they help.
Oh they should definitely help with removing strain especially for actual singing. My vocal instructor was an amazing vocalist and I can definitely say my projection improved drastically using these techniques.
I'm only a year late but I'm thinkin about doin metal among other styles of music so from 101 to infinity BRING IT ON❣️ Much love and many blessings to you
Great idea my friend! And thanks for watching
I really like the vocals in the recording of the Roadhouse live concert, great job. I still often eavesdrop. I was also pleased with your joint track with Northlane on the new album
Thank you my friend! Yeah I’m stoked on how that show turned out
Finally a Tutorial from one of my Favorite Musicans. Ur amazing bro! Trying it today !
Thank you so much! If you have any questions feel free to pop them down here and let me know how it goes
this was totally gold the easiest and best explaination to understand so far in my research, thanks bro.
Thank you. Super glad you found it useful and helpful
So, to sum the video.
How to scream: just scream.
Well thank you
you are so very welcome my man
@@BrendonKPadjasek first I meant it sarcastically, but now, when I actually tried it, dude, it it freaking works! 😂😂😂
Kudos for referencing the whacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man
He’s always so underrepresented
holy shit i think i’m actually finally getting it from this video dude thank you so much
No problem! So glad it’s helpful! Just remember if you ever feel any stain, take a break and come back to it another day
@@BrendonKPadjasektotally dude
Nice work, bro! Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you my friend! Glad it was useful!
well explained and super helpful, thanks!
Thanks for checking it out!
I am here to learn Metalcore screaming for my first Parkway Drive concert 🤪
Amazing. Enjoy!
@ thank you. They always play on Festivals and it’s so amazing that they finally do a normal tour in my home city.
This is the video that confirms that i am doing it right. Thanks a lot!
Stoked to hear that! As long as it doesn’t hurt and you’re getting the tone, you’re doing good in my books
@@BrendonKPadjasek not hurting at all! Just some fatigue if i don't warmup properly or if I "push" to much since it's not that long that i learned doing it! within some time i will be able to record something i guess!
@drspody awesome. I hope it goes well!
Really well taught, cheers
thank you!
Dude you sound insane, thats awesome!
Thank you for the kind words!
Best Tutorial so far !!! i love it
Thank you so much my friend. I’m glad you found it useful
Nate Barcalow from Finch is my inspiration to nail a good scream some day 😭 his vocals are amazing
Oh yeah I grew up listening to finch
Appreciate the knowledge
yes yes yes. singing and screaming and moving on stage is one of the best sports of all time :D i totally agree
Hahahah and very difficult
This is perfect. I'm going to practice and see if I can do it. By the way, I've watched a lot of Chris Liepe videos - it's nice to see him being quoted.
Oh yeah Chris is great. Love his approach and explanations
Thank you. Hope it works out, just be sure to take it slow and if you feel strain , go a bit softer and take the steps in parts
Awesome, thanks dude
Thanks for checking it out
the unaccompanied bach violin is great, fun piece to play
Haha thank you. That’s when you know it’s serious time
Thanks for mentioning the sweating part, 'cause I was wondering if it's only me :D
lol no I think it definitely happens to us all. I know a lot of engineers purposely make the recording room a bit warmer to loosen up the vocal chords as well
