In my opinion Lacey is one of the better screamers out there. She nails it. Its rare to have great sounding songs with the perfect scream and emotion. I also think Lzzy Hale and Corey Taylor got it down.
+Onizuma13 The best screamers are the ones that can actually also sing normally. Like Corey Taylor, Alyssa, etc because they understand how to hit notes. Screaming has notes too!
She's actually one of the five vocalists I based my screaming on. It's been Lacey, Christian Älvestam of Scar Symmetry and Solution .45, Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, and Otep. I had to learn the hard way to not put my full voice into it. I blew my vocals out twice by improperly screaming. I always thought you had to put all of your emotion and soul into a scream. It wasn't until about 5 or 6 years ago that I found out it's far better (for me, idk about y'all) to use the very top of my vocal folds and keep them separated so they're not under constant friction.
i kinda wanna do screaming now in my singing because of you! im not a big fan of screaming (except only in flyleaf songs because you dont just scream the whole song) but you made me view it in a different way x)
Yes indeed. Feelings are related to our soul which is carnal. They can be quite deceptive. God communicates to us through revelation by His spirit to our spirit. Entirely different method of communication and I believe Lacey understands this. I love this sister.
i want to make sure, you read this!!!! Lacey, the band should have changed their name cause honestly, its not flyleaf without you, the new member is amazing and super talented, its not her fault. i love u, but i resent u for leaving ur audience/fans. i completely understand if u left for ur husband and children. however, i am mad that you are still singing just not for us as flyleaf anymore :( do u not love us? i know it sounds selfish of me.. but i had just recently started listening to flyleaf and it broke my heart when they said no more lacey..:( my b.f introduced me to the band and your music is very special to me. i just wish i could hear more of that sound. Lacey, to me, your music had a whole other meaning!!! it was surreal, your way of singing now is definitely toned down, and it has god written all over it. i will support you all the way, but i miss that vibe and sound of u in flyleaf.. :( i just really, needed to get that off my chest!
I love her explanation of how she screams to emphasize something to herself. That's what sets her apart from so many artists, is her understanding of the power behind the music, and directing it in the right place.
What I noticed about Flyleaf and Lacey's voice is that when you look at other metal bands that have screaming in their music like The Devil Wears Prada and RED you notice that their voices definately sound different, but I noticed after like 5-6 years of screaming Lacey's voice still sounds as it did in their first album. I just thought that was cool.
Red's vocalist has also been training his voice more than when they started, which is part of why it's different. He's been improving it, and improving his technique on it. You can check out his videos on it.
Because like lacey pointed out in the video the advice she receive helped her perserve her perserve her voice, thats what she means by the full voice scream is expensive because if overused she could lose and permanently damage her vocal chords. Look at m.shadows from a7x and james heitfield
Her voice and her screams are amazingly beautiful. I loved it when she screamed Joy will come! and the reason why she screams it, it's so beautiful and it makes a lot of sense why she wanted to do so in her music. Lacey just keeps inspiring me every time I hear her whether it's a song or an interview. She;s amazing
@@suchabadkitty1293 he’s still wack, existent or not. i agree with your other comment tho lol i deleted my original comment but i still pray that you have a very blessed day ♡︎
Thanks for this. I used to hate screaming vocals, but that was cause all I'd heard was artists screaming/growling through the whole song. NOT music. Just noise. Perhaps noise with a message, but not the place I'm in. Then I heard Flyleaf. And only certain lines were screamed. It wasn't just rage. It was desperation. Pain. Sorrow. Those struck home. And I knew that I wanted that in my songs. Those one line, passionate, desperate message that's make the listener sit up and listen. Not noise. Pterodactyl noise is an awesome way to describe it. Made me chuckle. :) Thanks!
Screaming isn’t From the Lord he was never aggressive n loud the devil will confuse you n make u believe things are from him that are not , joy is freeing calm n peaceful never confusing n this definitely sounds demonic to me it’s so disturbing u wouldn’t play this music toa sleeping baby then I shouldn’t be played from God. Now I’m not saying she’s Demonic just been tricked by Satan in believing this app s from God hopefully she will read the verse I’m a still small voice n meditate on that n realize that’s from the Holy Spirit not long shrilling voices
I don't know if Lacey will read this, but if she does, I want to say thank-you. Thank-you for explaining the why. I am not young anymore :) and so my first reaction was the same as yours, I didn't understand how screaming that way was appropriate or in anyway musical.

Of course, the beautiful deserve the best. The less attractive folks surely deserve to be fed to the wolves. Don't you worry, though, that's what tends to happen in real life, too.
Her screams and even her technique is very very underrated, and i love how she explains her technique its very simplified and easy for people to comprehend. Lowkey id say shes like in the top 5 as far as female vocalists that scream.
I love her way to give the message. Yeah a lot of metal songs have some great lyrics but their message explains rage, hate, pain and all that and that's it but a Christian singer can sing if they have rage, hate, pain but that 'joy will come' and show Gods love. I met Lacey last year along with other bands and honestly don't know how to explain it but it was eye opening seeing she was the only one with a different message and getting on her knees and praising God and did a little prayer while other bands were flicking people off screaming you know all that. It just gave me a whole other view of her music, I've always loved her music but now I love it more. Just a little story
@@suchabadkitty1293 Lacey and Flyleaf come with a message of hope. If you hear Lacey's story, which is out there on RUclips, and she also wrote a book about, she was in a really dark place and had a terrible tragedy happen in her family when she was 10 years old. After that she fell into depression for the next six years and saw a lot of other dark and messed up things happen in her life. When she was 16 she decided to commit suicide. But the day she planned to do it, she ended up getting into a fight with her grandmother who forced her to go to church. She hated Christianity and only went so her grandma would leave her alone and was still going to commit suicide when it was over. But something miraculous happened in that church building where the pastor suddenly started weeping in the middle of the service. Then he said "there's a suicidal spirit in this room. Please let us pray for you because God has a plan for your life and doesn't want you to die tonight." She didn't go because she was embarrassed and really weirded out. So the pastor just looked awkward. But then when the service was over before she left, a man stopped her at the door and said a bunch of prophetic things he couldn't know. Then he told her Jesus died to take the punishment of our sin on Himself so we don't have to carry it with us anymore, and Jesus offers this gift to anyone who asks Him. He prayed with her and when he prayed she says she had an encounter with God that was so real and she felt His presence show up in front of her. So after that she felt how much God loved her and knew her, and she didn't kill herself. She accepted Jesus into her life. Sorry I wrote like a literal page. I hope that explains where she's coming from and her vision for music. She tells a lot more detail of her story on RUclips that you can find which I definitely recommend, also in her book "The Reason". But their message is that even in sorrow and darkness, there is hope because of Jesus and there is purpose and we were all made for a purpose. She sings about sorrow and anger and pain, but also about beauty and hope and joy. Hope that answers your question. 😊
I'm so glad that I watched this. I'm a 45 year old dad of teen boys; I'll admit that I don't really "get" all the screaming. This made a lot of sense. I love Lacey's (Flyleaf, We As Human, ect) music. Now, even more.
yeah, it's like she said an some songs with much more screamings have a much longer message (okay we will put Asking Alexandria and Capture the Crown at least away from the other) ... It's like Mannequins (from The Brother Grimm) or Victimized from Linkin Park, Rebellion, Wasteland and Until it's Gone are some more examples ... Maybe, screams aren't made for everyone, but if the people understand, why so much bands use them, they would probably tolerate them ^^ (hope you understand me ._. :D)
This is everything I ever ASKED FOR WHY AM I ONLY SEEING THIS THREE YEARS LATER GOSH I am so mad right now. I needed this so much. I'm gonna practice this till I die.
Let me guess it was Chester Bennington he beat Benjamin Burnley in a scream off they must have went on tour with Lincoln Park or David from disturbed maybe he taught her how to scream like that
Somewhere in the Internet someone(I think it was wikipedia) said they actually were about to call themselves Lincoln Park, but there was a band already with that name so they changed it to Linkin Park... was actually a great band once
casselliny Nothing used positively with the Lord our God in it can EVER be considered "dark". He is light wherever we may go, whether that be in music or elsewhere. Do not put down a way to worship the Lord. Worshipping is worshipping. God accepts it all. Not everyone responds to the same type of music. If this is a way to reach out to those who do not know the Lord, leave it be. Don't waste your energy trying to tell other Christians that their method of praising the Lord is wrong. Instead, spend your energy spreading the Word of God to the people who do not know Him yet. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
Jesus said himself that our worship must be done in SPIRIT and in TRUTH!... He also tells us what the friut of His spirit will be (love,joy,peace,gentleness,goodness,faith,selfcontroll)... to say that the LORD is pleased with anykind of worship is not true... it must be worship from the spirit and not from the flesh... I repsect your opinnion but i am not wrong for mine.. I dont think this is of the spirit,and am not casting stones just because i say so.Heavy metal music is not from the spirit of God but of the world. Why our chirstians still thinking they can keep trying to "santify" ungoldy/demonic, wordly things and then offer it up to God.. He dosnt need this to save people .. The preaching of the word is what saves people by His holy spirit,period.
casselliny God listening to our worship. He is listening to what we say, how we proclaim his name. Screaming puts passion behind your words, it is not demonic. Sound doesn't make something demonic, content does. For Today is a heavy metal band, and they have some of the most beautiful and God gratifying lyrics i've heard, and they sing it with enormous passion. "Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death We are not alone We will fear no evil for You are near" Whether i sing or scream those lyrics, God hears those lyrics. The praise is lifted to Him. That is what matters.
no offense but fuck people that don't like screaming!!! She shouldn't have to explain herself, I don't agree with songs full of screaming but her songs rarely have screaming. She should do more screaming!
What she says about the power of music is really enlightening and good. It certainly does have a power and influence on people that can be harmful to a degree, at least a contributing factor for sure. What people expose ourselves too does affect the way one thinks and eventually how one acts.
I love this girl, but it did kinda let me down to hear her say she doesn't care for Pantera anymore, especially with it being because of how their sound affected her mentality. To me, Pantera had such a huge impact on rock/metal. I feel like she's just looking at it the wrong way. But hey...it doesn't change my opinion on her, at all. I love her just the same, and I love her music just the same.
Pantera - already liked her but now she's great in my book. Still the only female vocalist whose screams I enjoy. Edit: "It made me more violent." Darn.
I love this woman. I really wish I could take some singing classes and learn to scream, but I'm too nervous to ask my parents about it. Don't get me wrong, they'd be very supportive, thing is they'll want to make me sing in front of family and friends which is a big no no.
+Meme Queen I don't know who you are but I feel like I should say this... DO IT!!!! You will have a beautiful gift for life and you'll NEVER look back. If you don't get your voice and heart out there, it will be be lost with you when you're gone. God bless
I listen to all kinds of music, and as I get older I’m starting to realize the music I listen to is reflecting my current mood, even If I’m unaware of what I’m actually feeling. When I need up lifting or a reminder that life will. Ot always has its boot on your head pushing you into the dirt, I listen to Flyleaf or Skillet, when I’m angry or need to release rage, Pantara or Killswitch and anything that’s heavy. But I also feel that you should be acutely aware of what music can do to your mind state and never let it actually take over your mind set.
i’ve watched so many videos on how to scream but they all were too talk and no good info… this is the only video i have watched so far that is very easy to follow and is quick…. other videos sort of go on forever… i love lacey and the band so much because their songs have saved me from my depression and suicidal thoughts run and hide when i listen to their songs… thnx for your amazing music! :D
Lacey almost feels like a saint. I think she is. Her music brings me back up when im not wanting to do anything. I thank god for her and im happy that she is in a better state of mind.
I was hooked on Flyleaf (and Lacey) since I'm So Sick and saw them in concert about 3 or 4 times. To see her little self screaming those lyrics live was insane. But between the 1st and 2nd concerts (a year or so between) I had heard she blew her voice out and had to have surgery (many singer have this problem, especially ones who sing like she does). and at the 2nd show she was using a track for the screaming parts. Anyone else remember this or heard this? just wondering if it was true.
they've never used a track, Pat Seals the bass player is the one who made the screams in some songs, and she was still learning how to do the easy scream by 2008, 2009 and 2010. She has done so much better now in her recent tour at the point that she has used both screams in different parts. I'm Not Laughing LIVE is an example she uses both screams, sometimes she uses both of them again in I'm So Sick and Chasm aswell
People think distorted guitar sound is okay. Why would anyone bother to criticize to use distorted (overdriven?) voice while singing? Maybe ones need to adjust their ears rather judging...
senditkevin omggg totally forgot I commented this! Wow it’s been so long omg I was so young back then, haven’t listened to them in so long. That’s cool about her solo album! ☺️
Hi Lacey. Great info. I know you just became a mommy again but when you are able, I would love to see you and We as Human put together a video for "Take the bullets away." That is a powerful song and you do some awesome screaming in that song. I also appreciate your testimony on the Billy Graham's special recently and your song and video of "The Cross." You are so blessed and talented. I've always wanted to be able to sing and do what you do. That has always been my dream. I'm so glad you are able to live yours. I'm sorry you left "Fly Leaf" but I know God has a bigger and better purpose for you. Number 1 taking care of your family and being a Mom to your beautiful children. God bless you Lacey.
I am late to the Lacey Sturm party because I never gave Flyleaf a proper chance, but I absolutely LOVE her combination of melody and screaming. I can't honestly say I am a Christian per say, but I respect the hell out of her and her talents.
3:20 gave me goosebumps, recognizing the human we deal in us and rising above it.. thank you for this Lacey! a fan since Flyleaf when i was in a dark phase in life!thank you for sharing your voice!!
god i hate that she is no longer with flyleaf. i was so heartbroken when i heard she was leaving. i have been a fan since '06 when i first saw the making of the video for fully alive on mtv. i actually just happened to have mtv on while i was surfing the web and i hear clips of the music and looked and i saw lacey and it was love at first sight lol. after i heard the full song i was obsessed and i went on youtube and searched and downloaded every video i could find of flyleaf and from that day..
There is this band called the Amity affliction and all the singer does is scream scream and scream it's mostly screaming not singing and lead vocalist Benjamin Burnley and Ivan from five finger death Punch are also good screamers
i don't mind some screaming at all. someone asked lacey sturm why Christians had to scream in their music. her response, and i have to paraphrase, was that their angry. makes sense to me!!.
The Zen of Screaming FTW...!! Train for muscle memory, get the technique in the right way and then just forget about it and go full passion (your own body will do the righ move)... that's a very good and honest advise, by the way
It's crazy how relatively new screaming really is, or atleast the understanding of it. These emo singers and death metal vocalists didn't know what vocal fry was or what a false chord scream was, they were just screaming their heart out and making some wicked music
You just need to pay attention. You definitely don't need to read the lyrics to understand pantera. Some of these newer metal bands you do though, and those bands are generally emocore/screamo BS. That and the death metal scene. Death metal though is a niche and small genre with really only a hardcore fanbase. You either like it or hate it, there's no in between, and that is because of the singing...... screaming style in which it is intended to be difficult to understand. As for emocore and screamo BS and the worst sub genre of metal it is just because they are generally horrible at screaming.
What do you mean? Screaming and singing can be VERY hard to make out the lyrics of, especially since a lot of singers and screamers don't articulate enough or whatever. Fall Out Boy is a good example. And not everyone has the ability to pick up lyrics in songs by listening to them; some people's brains separate the sound form the meaning when there's music in the way.
Pantera made her "violent?" I hate when people use music as a scapegoat, you make your own decisions, come on take responsibility for your actions! Influence does not dictate action.
I think maybe she means it fed her aggression and made it grow. in her testimonies she talks about how she was already mad at the world, so, yes, she probably was already aggressive to a certain degree. but music does touch our souls, though we all have different reactions to it. it's pretty well know that violence breeds violence, you reap what you sow, and she sowed aggression by listening to aggressive music, which was the water and sunlight to her seed.
+Ashley Rupert - IDK, seems like a cop-out to blame music for how we feel and what we do with those feelings. I believe in owning your feelings and take responsibility for them. I've been into metal since the 80's, never been aggressive because of it. It just seems like rhetoric of congressmen blaming Marilyn Manson for a school shooting, Tipper Gore blaming Twisted Sister for teenage angst, or NWA for street violence when that was there already.
LaVell Light I do understand what you're saying and she does advocate a ton of rock bands but she saying in her own experience that in the time of her life it wasn't the best thing for her I was actually really surprised that she said that because in her book she wrote a lot about the communication music can have and she still believes that she's been on tour with bands like slipknot saliva stained korn so honestly I was really surprised she said that

What message?
@@suchabadkitty1293 Lacey and Flyleaf come with a message of hope. If you hear Lacey's story, which is out there on RUclips, and she also wrote a book about, she was in a really dark place and had a terrible tragedy happen in her family when she was 10 years old. After that she fell into depression for the next six years and saw a lot of other dark and messed up things happen in her life. When she was 16 she decided to commit suicide. But the day she planned to do it, she ended up getting into a fight with her grandmother who forced her to go to church. She hated Christianity and only went so her grandma would leave her alone and was still going to commit suicide when it was over. But something miraculous happened in that church building where the pastor suddenly started weeping in the middle of the service. Then he said "there's a suicidal spirit in this room. Please let us pray for you because God has a plan for your life and doesn't want you to die tonight." She didn't go because she was embarrassed and really weirded out. So the pastor just looked awkward. But then when the service was over before she left, a man stopped her at the door and said a bunch of prophetic things he couldn't know. Then he told her Jesus died to take the punishment of our sin on Himself so we don't have to carry it with us anymore, and Jesus offers this gift to anyone who asks Him. He prayed with her and when he prayed she says she had an encounter with God that was so real and she felt His presence show up in front of her. So after that she felt how much God loved her and knew her, and she didn't kill herself. She accepted Jesus into her life. Sorry I wrote like a literal page. I hope that explains where she's coming from and her vision for music. She tells a lot more detail of her story on RUclips that you can find which I definitely recommend, also in her book "The Reason". But their message is that even in sorrow and darkness, there is hope because of Jesus and there is purpose and we were all made for a purpose. She sings about sorrow and anger and pain, but also about beauty and hope and joy. Hope that answers your question. 😊
I'm so glad that I watched this. I'm a 45 year old dad of teen boys; I'll admit that I don't really "get" all the screaming. This made a lot of sense. I love Lacey's (Flyleaf, We As Human, ect) music. Now, even more.
yeah, it's like she said an some songs with much more screamings have a much longer message (okay we will put Asking Alexandria and Capture the Crown at least away from the other) ... It's like Mannequins (from The Brother Grimm) or Victimized from Linkin Park, Rebellion, Wasteland and Until it's Gone are some more examples ...
Maybe, screams aren't made for everyone, but if the people understand, why so much bands use them, they would probably tolerate them ^^
(hope you understand me ._. :D)
She wasn’t in We As Human, just featured on one song 🙂
What I want to know is where did you find the pterodactyl to mimic?
This is everything I ever ASKED FOR WHY AM I ONLY SEEING THIS THREE YEARS LATER GOSH
I am so mad right now. I needed this so much. I'm gonna practice this till I die.
Let me guess it was Chester Bennington he beat Benjamin Burnley in a scream off they must have went on tour with Lincoln Park or David from disturbed maybe he taught her how to scream like that
123the prodigy
I fail to see the connection your response has with my comment.
+123the prodigy Linkin*
Somewhere in the Internet someone(I think it was wikipedia) said they actually were about to call themselves Lincoln Park, but there was a band already with that name so they changed it to Linkin Park... was actually a great band once
LunaWitcher I can show you Gutteral aka false chord seaming but that's about it XD
I love how she gave credit to Pantera for hearing the screams
yes i know right
I love how she blushes after she shows how to scream :D it's so cute
casselliny Nothing used positively with the Lord our God in it can EVER be considered "dark". He is light wherever we may go, whether that be in music or elsewhere. Do not put down a way to worship the Lord. Worshipping is worshipping. God accepts it all. Not everyone responds to the same type of music. If this is a way to reach out to those who do not know the Lord, leave it be. Don't waste your energy trying to tell other Christians that their method of praising the Lord is wrong. Instead, spend your energy spreading the Word of God to the people who do not know Him yet. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
Jesus said himself that our worship must be done in SPIRIT and in TRUTH!... He also tells us what the friut of His spirit will be (love,joy,peace,gentleness,goodness,faith,selfcontroll)... to say that the LORD is pleased with anykind of worship is not true... it must be worship from the spirit and not from the flesh... I repsect your opinnion but i am not wrong for mine.. I dont think this is of the spirit,and am not casting stones just because i say so.Heavy metal music is not from the spirit of God but of the world. Why our chirstians still thinking they can keep trying to "santify" ungoldy/demonic, wordly things and then offer it up to God.. He dosnt need this to save people .. The preaching of the word is what saves people by His holy spirit,period.
Can you not see what the fsm has done for you? I do hope that you find him in your heart one day. He loves you very much don't be ignorant.
casselliny God listening to our worship. He is listening to what we say, how we proclaim his name. Screaming puts passion behind your words, it is not demonic. Sound doesn't make something demonic, content does. For Today is a heavy metal band, and they have some of the most beautiful and God gratifying lyrics i've heard, and they sing it with enormous passion.
"Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death
We are not alone
We will fear no evil for You are near"
Whether i sing or scream those lyrics, God hears those lyrics. The praise is lifted to Him. That is what matters.
What does god have to do with screaming?
Yes, I get that, but I don't get why everyone is arguing religion on a screaming tutorial.
heh the baby giggle in the background at 4:04 random.
I just love this woman! You are pure energy!
no offense but fuck people that don't like screaming!!! She shouldn't have to explain herself, I don't agree with songs full of screaming but her songs rarely have screaming. She should do more screaming!
What she says about the power of music is really enlightening and good. It certainly does have a power and influence on people that can be harmful to a degree, at least a contributing factor for sure. What people expose ourselves too does affect the way one thinks and eventually how one acts.
That full voice scream is pretty intimidating....but still pretty badass. This lady's awesome! Best tip ever!
I seriously love lacey so much, shes been one of my idols since middle school. I'm so sad shes not in fly leaf anymore :c
Destiny Phaneuf I know right
Yes, she is definitely a very Godly woman. It’s amazing to see her use her talents to praise God. Have a blessed day, love
@@dolfin425 What a waste.
The baby in the background gets *real* quiet when Lacey starts making pterodactyl noises. 😂
I love this girl, but it did kinda let me down to hear her say she doesn't care for Pantera anymore, especially with it being because of how their sound affected her mentality. To me, Pantera had such a huge impact on rock/metal. I feel like she's just looking at it the wrong way. But hey...it doesn't change my opinion on her, at all. I love her just the same, and I love her music just the same.
Everytime she'd scream it would freak my dog out lol
Lol. Aww Poor pup.
Poor dog XD
Pantera - already liked her but now she's great in my book. Still the only female vocalist whose screams I enjoy.
Edit: "It made me more violent." Darn.
+Steve Marston True, Pantera doesn't make people violent.
Guess who’s practicing in their mini van now lol
This girl!
I love this woman. I really wish I could take some singing classes and learn to scream, but I'm too nervous to ask my parents about it. Don't get me wrong, they'd be very supportive, thing is they'll want to make me sing in front of family and friends which is a big no no.
I feel you.lol
+Meme Queen
I don't know who you are but I feel like I should say this...
DO IT!!!! You will have a beautiful gift for life and you'll NEVER look back.
If you don't get your voice and heart out there, it will be be lost with you when you're gone.
God bless
I listen to all kinds of music, and as I get older I’m starting to realize the music I listen to is reflecting my current mood, even If I’m unaware of what I’m actually feeling. When I need up lifting or a reminder that life will. Ot always has its boot on your head pushing you into the dirt, I listen to Flyleaf or Skillet, when I’m angry or need to release rage, Pantara or Killswitch and anything that’s heavy. But I also feel that you should be acutely aware of what music can do to your mind state and never let it actually take over your mind set.
I know this is about the screams and so forth... but God has blessed you with such beauty lol
takecare and God bless you woman! Christian Life FTW!!!
i’ve watched so many videos on how to scream but they all were too talk and no good info… this is the only video i have watched so far that is very easy to follow and is quick…. other videos sort of go on forever… i love lacey and the band so much because their songs have saved me from my depression and suicidal thoughts run and hide when i listen to their songs… thnx for your amazing music! :D
Lacey almost feels like a saint. I think she is. Her music brings me back up when im not wanting to do anything. I thank god for her and im happy that she is in a better state of mind.
she is a saint ❤️
Tell me why I’m laying in my bed at 6 am screaming into my hands
lying in bed°
I was hooked on Flyleaf (and Lacey) since I'm So Sick and saw them in concert about 3 or 4 times. To see her little self screaming those lyrics live was insane. But between the 1st and 2nd concerts (a year or so between) I had heard she blew her voice out and had to have surgery (many singer have this problem, especially ones who sing like she does). and at the 2nd show she was using a track for the screaming parts. Anyone else remember this or heard this? just wondering if it was true.
they've never used a track, Pat Seals the bass player is the one who made the screams in some songs, and she was still learning how to do the easy scream by 2008, 2009 and 2010. She has done so much better now in her recent tour at the point that she has used both screams in different parts. I'm Not Laughing LIVE is an example she uses both screams, sometimes she uses both of them again in I'm So Sick and Chasm aswell
... and the demon shrieked, "JOY WILL COME!!" lol
Sorrow is my favorite song..."the ending words " JOy WILL CoMe ...literally makes the song....I love it
I agree with u at first I was like screaming in music? Why?!? I don’t like that and now all of a sudden I LOVE SCREAMING MUSIC
she's so cute!
People think distorted guitar sound is okay. Why would anyone bother to criticize to use distorted (overdriven?) voice while singing?
Maybe ones need to adjust their ears rather judging...
I love the screaming in your songs. It makes your songs more meaningful and emphasizes your point.
Te sale de forma orgánica , lo haces bien natural y siempre que lo haces le das a la canción y la música un up. Eres la mejor haciendo el screaming.
It's sad that she left.. :( But at least she's happy :]
She has a solo album out!!!
senditkevin omggg totally forgot I commented this! Wow it’s been so long omg I was so young back then, haven’t listened to them in so long. That’s cool about her solo album! ☺️
Hi Lacey. Great info. I know you just became a mommy again but when you are able, I would love to see you and We as Human put together a video for "Take the bullets away." That is a powerful song and you do some awesome screaming in that song. I also appreciate your testimony on the Billy Graham's special recently and your song and video of "The Cross." You are so blessed and talented. I've always wanted to be able to sing and do what you do. That has always been my dream. I'm so glad you are able to live yours. I'm sorry you left "Fly Leaf" but I know God has a bigger and better purpose for you. Number 1 taking care of your family and being a Mom to your beautiful children. God bless you Lacey.
I am late to the Lacey Sturm party because I never gave Flyleaf a proper chance, but I absolutely LOVE her combination of melody and screaming.
I can't honestly say I am a Christian per say, but I respect the hell out of her and her talents.
Chad Worrell she has a solo career now it is amazing
Same here. 2018.
3:20 gave me goosebumps, recognizing the human we deal in us and rising above it.. thank you for this Lacey! a fan since Flyleaf when i was in a dark phase in life!thank you for sharing your voice!!
5.54 ASMR screaming.... before ASMR existed
Lacey has such a blessed soul I love her singing
god i hate that she is no longer with flyleaf. i was so heartbroken when i heard she was leaving. i have been a fan since '06 when i first saw the making of the video for fully alive on mtv. i actually just happened to have mtv on while i was surfing the web and i hear clips of the music and looked and i saw lacey and it was love at first sight lol. after i heard the full song i was obsessed and i went on youtube and searched and downloaded every video i could find of flyleaf and from that day..
Lacey..I'd give anything to meet her. She's such an amazing person, my hero for sure. Her music has helped me through so much. You rock Lacey!!
Anyone else watching this in 2019?
Not endorsing pantera, damn I like pantera.
you can't not endorse it and like it at the same time, i think,
There is this band called the Amity affliction and all the singer does is scream scream and scream it's mostly screaming not singing and lead vocalist Benjamin Burnley and Ivan from five finger death Punch are also good screamers
Benjamin Burnley is the lead singer of breaking benjamin.
i don't mind some screaming at all. someone asked lacey sturm why Christians had to scream in their music. her response, and i have to paraphrase, was that their angry. makes sense to me!!.
Be angry and sin not!
I want to get a stronger voice and be able to scream well, while not Completely damaging my voice. Did you have vocal training or teach yourself?
I love the way she speaks. She exudes compassion and thoughtfulness.
I became a christian 2 years ago. i’ve been listening to underground christian rap but i discovered flyleaf and i can’t stop listening.
Doing that just now by myself as an experienced singer, but a beginner screamer, I can feel the difference and exactly what she means by 'expensive'.
There is NO reason at all, Lacey should only have 27,000 Subscribers!!!
The Zen of Screaming FTW...!!
Train for muscle memory, get the technique in the right way and then just forget about it and go full passion (your own body will do the righ move)... that's a very good and honest advise, by the way
It's crazy how relatively new screaming really is, or atleast the understanding of it. These emo singers and death metal vocalists didn't know what vocal fry was or what a false chord scream was, they were just screaming their heart out and making some wicked music
Where is the Watch Later button??
Kubes Voxel Click on "add to" then select "Watch later"
When Lacey sings her whole heart comes through she is so different for all the right reasons, she is unforgettable.
Where can I find this Zen Of Screaming? Everyone goes on about how good it is!
You can buy it on Amazon which was how I got it
Josiah Yancy thanks!
***** Google
I love her music. The Holy Spirit is strong with her music.
If you had to read the lyrics because you couldn't understand what they were saying/singing/screaming then there is a fail there.
You just need to pay attention. You definitely don't need to read the lyrics to understand pantera. Some of these newer metal bands you do though, and those bands are generally emocore/screamo BS. That and the death metal scene. Death metal though is a niche and small genre with really only a hardcore fanbase. You either like it or hate it, there's no in between, and that is because of the singing...... screaming style in which it is intended to be difficult to understand. As for emocore and screamo BS and the worst sub genre of metal it is just because they are generally horrible at screaming.
What do you mean? Screaming and singing can be VERY hard to make out the lyrics of, especially since a lot of singers and screamers don't articulate enough or whatever. Fall Out Boy is a good example. And not everyone has the ability to pick up lyrics in songs by listening to them; some people's brains separate the sound form the meaning when there's music in the way.
love love love!!!!! ❤❤❤ Kristen May needs to watch this!
LaTonya Newsome 😅
This was kinda funny to watch. But that "fake scream" is actually kinda fun to play around with. Lacey, your awesome for posting this.
She's so sweet :)
Why the fuck would you "not endorse" Pantera 0_o
dude shes christian they spread hate destruction anarchy alot of things that are anti christian
I scream like her a little hahaa
I TRY to scream like her
05:08 I believe the singer she's talking about is Michael Barnes of RED
Me too
*actual tutorial starts at **06:25*
JOY WILL COME!!!!
lacey youre awesome i love youre new christian song.
Pantera made her "violent?" I hate when people use music as a scapegoat, you make your own decisions, come on take responsibility for your actions! Influence does not dictate action.
if you read her book she goes into more detail about Pantera
I think maybe she means it fed her aggression and made it grow. in her testimonies she talks about how she was already mad at the world, so, yes, she probably was already aggressive to a certain degree. but music does touch our souls, though we all have different reactions to it. it's pretty well know that violence breeds violence, you reap what you sow, and she sowed aggression by listening to aggressive music, which was the water and sunlight to her seed.
+Ashley Rupert - IDK, seems like a cop-out to blame music for how we feel and what we do with those feelings. I believe in owning your feelings and take responsibility for them. I've been into metal since the 80's, never been aggressive because of it. It just seems like rhetoric of congressmen blaming Marilyn Manson for a school shooting, Tipper Gore blaming Twisted Sister for teenage angst, or NWA for street violence when that was there already.
Thank you!!
LaVell Light I do understand what you're saying and she does advocate a ton of rock bands but she saying in her own experience that in the time of her life it wasn't the best thing for her I was actually really surprised that she said that because in her book she wrote a lot about the communication music can have and she still believes that she's been on tour with bands like slipknot saliva stained korn so honestly I was really surprised she said that
