my false chords have gotten a ton better over the past year, now my fry screams need to improve a bit more. your videos along with hungrylights and Jared dines have all been extremely helpful. thanks for the great videos
Good tutorial. It's nice to see someone knowledgeable talk about a scream that doesn't use the true folds. I've been a professional opera singer for about a decade now, so I can't practice any true fold screaming without jeopardizing my actual career lol. I understand that you can scream and rasp with the true folds without damage, but goddamnit if opera at a professional level isn't high stress enough without adding a small chance of wear and tear on the folds. Even a small strain or swelling can mean you don't have the notes, volume, or stamina for a 3 hour long show, which means no paycheck. It's too damn olympian. This style I like, and hopefully it'll have no effect on the true folds, or the mechanisms other classical mechanisms. Big LoG, Opeth, Arch Enemy and recently Jinjer fan.
I loved the first video. Had no idea it was gonna work for me. Then I tried the Arch Enemy line, and almost had a heart attack I did it!!!! And so did my friend. We spent the whole evening False Cord Screaming stupid stuff until I got dizzy. It was awesome. I'm gonna go through all the videos, and hope I can do the other distortions. Maybe one day Ill do a skype session. You are great!!! All the best!
Omgsh you made my life so much better lol. I would have hurt my voice if it weren't for your videos. Your explanation is superior to so many others. I really appreciate your effort and your message quality and clarity. So many people will probably save their voices and get to express themselves from these videos.
When trying to scream is there a better technique to prevent my brain from making my throat take over midway? I get maybe 1-3 seconds of proper diaphragm scream before my throat involuntarily takes over and cant seem to shake it no matter how much i try to force my brain to not let it takeover. or am I just going to have to practice twice as much to get it right?
And one last question. Sam Carter (Architects) has a kind of unique scream which has sounds like if it has a clear pitch, and obviously he has a good technique because he has been doing it for a long time,so he would have no voice if he did it incorrectly. So is that king of scream achieved by fry or false chords?
My gut instinct is that it sounds pretty fry-ish to me - the way it blends with his natural voice and particularly with his high notes, and the tone of the distortion (drier and more white noise-like, rather than the wet, looser kind of tone of false cord - hoping that that description makes sense to anyone other than me...), but I'd love to hear Mary's take on this.
You really know what you're talking about. Once I watched the regular screaming video, I instantly got it. Been using it for a Disturbed song. My clean singing has improved. Had to go into an ENT Dr for non vocal reason, so I asked her to look at my cords as long as I'm in. I told her i was singing with distortion and screaming.. She said to be careful,, because damage can happen.. She said they look great and super healthy, so I must be doing it right. I don't do this professionally, but once I saw Disturbed sing The Sound of Silence, and I thought it was amazing. My research led me to your video. No doubt your advice is spot on. I'm 57 and not supposed to like this stuff, but Disturbed bridged that gap. I practice every day in the car.
Can I just say that I love you for taking the time to do these videos? This chick is the best ❤️ Also, the floating head wasn't an issue for me. Amusing for the first 10 seconds, then you got down to business.
I accidentally did fry scream vocals imitating your Joe Cocker "feelin all right" for the first time, because I could never sing with grit... but now can't get it back... now I just sound like Joe Cocker, lol. Was a good moment, although brief. Thank you for that little moment.
Love these videos. Just saw BMTH live in Nashville and was inspired to achieve a sound similar to Oli Sykes. Might be purchasing a Skype session soon. Thank you for the video!
Thanks so much for this video. The stuff about the vowel shapes changing the pitch has really helped me finally be able to do some high black metal style screams :)
Hello, Mary Z , I just subscribed to your channel i think it is great. I love that you go though the technical info and practical. Also i have just finished watching False cord scream part 1. Also i love the floating head i think its cool. Also i been singing for years and there is always more to learn. I understand the mechanics behind screaming. But never really got it. But with the floating head video it worked still have alot to master.. And i want to thank you for doing a proper explanation that i could understand.
When I learned to scream I initially did false cord but when I was starting I used a fuckton of air then I did frys and learned to control my air and false cords feel way more comfortable now
Try doing the vowel changes with Fry scream. Gutteral or toilet bowl is usually Low Fry. So, do a fry scream then use the vowel shapes of OOO or UUUU or URRRR and do not press on the tongue. It will just naturally lower the larynx and be much less strenuous with a great sound.
The trick I learned from watching Melissa Cross interview Philip Labonte is to imagine an egg in your throat, with the fat end towards your vocal cords and the narrow end towards your teeth. This can open up the sound and you can further enhance the tunnel effect by flipping up your tongue towards the roof of your mouth to create a sort of acoustic chamber.
Hey I don't know if this is a good place and if you'll even see this comment, but I have a question. How do I take my voice out of the equation? I know where my false cords are and I can activate them with relative ease, but my voice is always involved and I know that's not good. I want to know this so I can start practicing without developing the habit of using my voice.
I'm pretty sure that I'm getting this right. I do feel some scratching, no pain at all tho. when I scream sometimes (especially when I'm doing higher screams) my voice cracks a little bit. Do you think that I'm doing something wrong? (sorry if my english is not perfect, I'm italian) By the way, I love your videos and I think you're a great teacher. It's pretty cool to see other badass women screaming. It makes me want to keep on practising!
Also, yesterday I did some exercise and my soft palate today is hurting a little. Maybe it's because I didn't warm up my voice before starting with the exercise. Idk, what should I do?
Yes, it's because your body isn't used to pushing out so much air at once. It is normal to get dizzy when you breathe a lot of air in for some minutes, or the other way around. Just try to take brakes. The more you practice the better it gets. Good luck!
My natural singing voice is low, maybe that of Alex Band, Rob Thomas, and Caleb Followill.. Believe it or not, I just learned to fry scream on low notes just by watching your videos! I do believe I can sing rock with distortion and no pain whatsoever, just the normal feelings you described from your other video... I can sing Chris Cornell and Dave Grohl songs, but not the screaming parts... I would like to be able to sing false cord, or fry scream, to the level of Chris Cornell or Dave Grohl... Would you have a video on this? I'm not familiar with notes so I just describe using the vocalists. hehehe.
What about Josh Scogin of The Chariot? Are you able to discern any obvious techniques he is using? False chords/fry ect. Or does he just have the gift. His annunciation and power is incredible.
As you're giving a perfect explanation on how the vocal and false folds in the throat are flapping (more like resonating I think), Would it mean that practice makes these folds more loosen up and therefore enhancing our sound (with practice) at the end? I don't know why, but that really sounds possible to me.. Hope to get a respond out of this so practice is a bit more defined (yes I will practice my flappy flapping fold flaps. Thanks for everything so far \m/
So I think I'm doing it properly. I have no vocal cord pain or strain, but when I finish I often feel soreness/ tension in some of my throat muscles. Normal? Not normal? I want to imagine it's simply my body using muscles it normally doesn't but I was wondering if this was common for anyone else?
I have developed a form of low gutteral sound that seems to make a lot of use of my soft palate, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. The closest examples I can think of are a mix between Randy Blythe, Dez Farara, and Wayne Static's lows. It's a comfortable technique that I originally formed when hosting D&D games and had to do voices for things like trolls and orcs. I'm trying to learn better false fold and low fry vocals, but this seems to be something else entirely, as it doesn't feel or sound like either of those techniques. Is it unhealthy to make use of my soft palate and surrounding tissue for metal vocals?
Soft palate is a major part of making distorted noises! Totally safe to use providing the sounds accompanying it (with the voice for example) are healthy
No, vaping or smoking wouldn't make that action occur. Your vocal cords are just not staying open when that happens so, alternate your false cord attempts with whispers. Sometimes this helps so try saying "huhh" in a whisper then go back to trying "huhhh" false cord. This helps to get the "voice" out of the sound.
VoiceHacks the whisper exercise helps a lot! I was talking about the bubbling noise used to produce the white noise in fry screaming. I take it the whisper exercise applies across the board? Can you do the white noise / bubbling noise with a dry throat? cuz I sure as hell can't...
You keep saying point it growl upwards... would it help to try and growl with the mouth closed and push it all through the nose or would that be harmful to something?
I still don't understand what makes me cough/gag while trying?!? I wish I could FaceTime with you for you to see what I'm doing wrong.... I would pay to have a Skype screaming practice with you I want this so bad!!!!!
My mother and sister are professional singers and I had a wonderful voice like them. I was preparing to sing for a wedding and during the last day of rehearsals, I couldn’t sing- I just lost my singing vocals? It’s been 15 years and I’ve never got them back. I saw that this can happen. It’s the most depressing thing to ever happen to a singer.
This seems more psychological than physiological. I'd have your doctor examine your voice and if they say that nothing is wrong, then get with a vocal coach and get it "back!"
your screaming range is based on your anatomy- your singing range can be extended but your screaming range is not so easy to expand- because you're not using your vocal chords, and you're strictly using the shape of your windpipe/folds/etc. your highs might not be able to reach Mitch Lucker's or Eddie Hermida's- that being said, everyone is different and there's probably a good deal of stuff that you'd be able to do that they cannot. until you find your limits, keep working at it though! there's no telling if you could get screams as high or higher than their's!
VoiceHacks ye I know , I really enjoy hearing u talk about new things about fry Technic and screams , u give so much information , I watched that part 2 100 times. 😁 love you Mary z
while trying this, i felt a little dizzy, why? and i can't feel like i am doing right, it doesn't sounds like you, it sounds more like a whisper than a grasp
Take it easy! If you are getting light headed you're not getting enough breath support so check out my video on Breathing for Screamers... ruclips.net/video/W5cd4C40SRE/видео.html if the lightheadedness continues stop what you are doing until you're able to take lessons.
Can anyone help me on this. I am an absolute begginer and whenever I practice harsh vocals it starts to not hurt per se but my throat does start to feel itchy so I stop immediately and practice the day after, but should it itch in the first place? Am I doing it wrong?
Tip is don't push. Never push out air, in ANY genre. Just let it flow. Pushing air will cause friction in your throat muscles. Try practicing like what she teaches. If it's too much for you at this stage, start with a soft volume. Your volume should come from the diaphragm. I hope I'm making sense lol
I was listening to this with my window open and I heard the neighbor's kid start throwing a tantrum using basically this technique to scream at her mother. She's no good at carrying a tune pitch-wise and she has yet to click with an instrument, so maybe we've found her niche, lol.
I have been false chord screaming for about a year now but am still having trouble with breathing. I tend to get dizzy after a while because of lack of air. Any tips on how I could work on getting more air in and lasting longer? Thank you!
So this is pretty tough actually and pretty common. But in False Cord, with your vocal folds open, you run out of air quickly and there's only so much you can do. Try my breathing exercises for screamers, and if that doesn't help you may want to adjust your writing style to shorter sentences etc and learn some fry and maybe mix them together.
I think I do got it but the scratchy sensation you describe feels like too much sometimes like it doesn’t hurt but it tickles so much it feels like it does and I have to stop after a while or maybe idk what I’m doing :) Edit: and it makes me cough🤧
Yes! You can for example push the front of your tongue against your front upper teeth and the back of the tongue more down. Experiment by placing your tongue in every possible position in your mouth
The Problem i have is that my mids kinda Sound high even though i do the right shape. I mean is this normal? Like my high even Sound high thats fine but why do my mids Sound high
I’m curious about my false chord scream since I can hold it at a maximum of 4 seconds, and when I try singing at the same time about 3 seconds. Am I doing something very wrong or not? Since Im breathing very slowly before I do it. I also get a bit different voice after I’ve been screaming for a while. Any tips?
TDlolgamer //TrueLG// The vocal cords are open in False Cord so there's nothing regulating the release of air really. All false cord screamers have a short limit on length. Usually 3-4 words per breath that's it. Long screams are generally fry or copy and pasted in pro tools hahah
I couldn't find the comment where you asked "how do I know if my vocal cords are open or closed?" and that is very tricky because we can't see it and we don't really feel it, but it would be based off of the sound you are making. If they are open, it will sound like my demonstrations of false cord, if they are closed it will sound like my demostrations of fry - good question!
You're probably just getting a little hyperventilated as you're taking in more oxygen than you're used to. The dizziness should pass if you take a short break and your "tolerance" will increase as you practice your vocal and breathing techniques.
It happens to me as well and I was wondering if it's because we aren't breathing correctly? Like we let air get out too fast instead of "pushing" it slowly.
Im trying to learn, i sound like a zombie, and my brothers laughed at me, i feel its not right and there's room for improvement with practice, but i wanna get a little better with it. i first started with trying to say vowels and learn proper breathing. i cant get that extra part. I wanna say its a high scream e. i don't know how to describe it...
Welp, I messed up. I was doing some false cords, and they were going quite well, but suddenly, my voice got cut off, and I had to stop. We're two days later, and I've been feeling as if I have pharyngitis, but more focussed on my vocal cords. I thought my technique was alright, but apparently, it wasn't... I really hope this is temporary!
TheFrenchTaunter Take it easy! Go on vocal rest (no singing, screaming and minimal speaking) for awhile to reduce swelling and hoarseness. But don't attempt screaming again until you see a medical professional like a laryngologist or ENT specialist to make sure there is nothing wrong and that it is safe to continue. You only get one voice, don't take chances. Make sure that it's healthy and that you consult with a doctor. I am not a medical professional and my advice cannot be substituted for that of a medical professional
I'm sorry to hear it! Sometimes starting on our own just doesn't work that well. If you need extra help, I give lessons on Skype to students worldwide each week. Email: VoiceHacks@gmail.com for rates and scheduling. Also maybe try false cord first, then singing with grit then go back to fry. Don't forget the "breathing for screamers " video also! good luck!
Hey! I really enjoy these videos! I find them to be really helpful. I am still wondering what vocal techniques bands like Endless Swarm (ruclips.net/video/nHivZv6dw3U/видео.html) are using... Do they sometimes actually use some kind of "Louis Armstrong" technique?
How can you hook scream with heavy metal screaming My mate is a heavy metal screamer weather bit of hook screamer say my question is how can you hook scream with a normal screen and I you use your stomach and I used your diaphragm and I you use your back with a 2 that the main object is Help do you cook screen cover got the normal screen skream Adam Pat is just hope screaming is another concept of heavy metal How-do-you-do hooks green

Good practice for when I give birth in the future - just false chord scream at the midwife - baby was born to a metal concert
no floating head made me think "oh boy, so I can do false cords without getting light headed" :'D
Is it normal at first to get very light-headed? I know that might be a dumb question but it happens way to quick
Yes, it's because your body isn't used to pushing out so much air at once. It is normal to get dizzy when you breathe a lot of air in for some minutes, or the other way around. Just try to take brakes. The more you practice the better it gets. Good luck!
So glad I’m not the only one experiencing that. I just started yesterday and I’ve gotten it down, but I am experiencing the light headiness too

your screaming range is based on your anatomy- your singing range can be extended but your screaming range is not so easy to expand- because you're not using your vocal chords, and you're strictly using the shape of your windpipe/folds/etc. your highs might not be able to reach Mitch Lucker's or Eddie Hermida's- that being said, everyone is different and there's probably a good deal of stuff that you'd be able to do that they cannot.
until you find your limits, keep working at it though! there's no telling if you could get screams as high or higher than their's!
6:01 actually im pretty sure thats how you do demilich type vocals
ganna make fry video again ? appreciate if u do that again 😊😁
I did a part 2 here: ruclips.net/video/gR1yKkp7KIQ/видео.html
VoiceHacks ye I know , I really enjoy hearing u talk about new things about fry Technic and screams , u give so much information , I watched that part 2 100 times. 😁 love you Mary z
while trying this, i felt a little dizzy, why? and i can't feel like i am doing right, it doesn't sounds like you, it sounds more like a whisper than a grasp
and i felt little pain as well, i can't do it, one time i really got pissed because i can't understand what i need to do
Take it easy! If you are getting light headed you're not getting enough breath support so check out my video on Breathing for Screamers... ruclips.net/video/W5cd4C40SRE/видео.html if the lightheadedness continues stop what you are doing until you're able to take lessons.
should i give up smoking?

I know this is a stupid question, but are the lessons for free?
Can anyone help me on this. I am an absolute begginer and whenever I practice harsh vocals it starts to not hurt per se but my throat does start to feel itchy so I stop immediately and practice the day after, but should it itch in the first place? Am I doing it wrong?
Tip is don't push. Never push out air, in ANY genre. Just let it flow. Pushing air will cause friction in your throat muscles. Try practicing like what she teaches. If it's too much for you at this stage, start with a soft volume. Your volume should come from the diaphragm.
I hope I'm making sense lol
gosh i love doing this ists so fun thanks for this its awesome
I was listening to this with my window open and I heard the neighbor's kid start throwing a tantrum using basically this technique to scream at her mother. She's no good at carrying a tune pitch-wise and she has yet to click with an instrument, so maybe we've found her niche, lol.
do you coach?
I do give Skype lessons each week to students worldwide. Email: Voicehacks@gmail.com for rates and scheduling!
VoiceHacks thank you, by the way your so cool.. 👍
This video taught me to scream thank you Mary
how would you describe the way Tom Waits sings?
I have been false chord screaming for about a year now but am still having trouble with breathing. I tend to get dizzy after a while because of lack of air. Any tips on how I could work on getting more air in and lasting longer? Thank you!
So this is pretty tough actually and pretty common. But in False Cord, with your vocal folds open, you run out of air quickly and there's only so much you can do. Try my breathing exercises for screamers, and if that doesn't help you may want to adjust your writing style to shorter sentences etc and learn some fry and maybe mix them together.
ahh, thankyou for this. very helpful!
I love your videos
Does it normaly make you cough a lot?
Nope that means yourself doing it wrong
I think I do got it but the scratchy sensation you describe feels like too much sometimes like it doesn’t hurt but it tickles so much it feels like it does and I have to stop after a while or maybe idk what I’m doing :)
Edit: and it makes me cough🤧
Can we use our tongue to change how it sounds? If yes howw?
Yes! You can for example push the front of your tongue against your front upper teeth and the back of the tongue more down. Experiment by placing your tongue in every possible position in your mouth
@@Hakorai yes I've been trying some stuff like that and experimenting thank you for your answer🤘
How to make growl longer?
The Problem i have is that my mids kinda Sound high even though i do the right shape. I mean is this normal? Like my high even Sound high thats fine but why do my mids Sound high
I’m curious about my false chord scream since I can hold it at a maximum of 4 seconds, and when I try singing at the same time about 3 seconds. Am I doing something very wrong or not? Since Im breathing very slowly before I do it. I also get a bit different voice after I’ve been screaming for a while. Any tips?
TDlolgamer //TrueLG// The vocal cords are open in False Cord so there's nothing regulating the release of air really. All false cord screamers have a short limit on length. Usually 3-4 words per breath that's it. Long screams are generally fry or copy and pasted in pro tools hahah
Okey, thanks for replying. Then I know. Very imformative content overall on your channel! Keep it up! :D
just do cardio man. i had the same problem it helps alot.
thank you! :)
I couldn't find the comment where you asked "how do I know if my vocal cords are open or closed?" and that is very tricky because we can't see it and we don't really feel it, but it would be based off of the sound you are making. If they are open, it will sound like my demonstrations of false cord, if they are closed it will sound like my demostrations of fry - good question!
am i doing something wrong if i get slightly light headed
You're probably just getting a little hyperventilated as you're taking in more oxygen than you're used to. The dizziness should pass if you take a short break and your "tolerance" will increase as you practice your vocal and breathing techniques.
It happens to me as well and I was wondering if it's because we aren't breathing correctly? Like we let air get out too fast instead of "pushing" it slowly.
Im trying to learn, i sound like a zombie, and my brothers laughed at me, i feel its not right and there's room for improvement with practice, but i wanna get a little better with it. i first started with trying to say vowels and learn proper breathing. i cant get that extra part. I wanna say its a high scream e. i don't know how to describe it...
Welp, I messed up. I was doing some false cords, and they were going quite well, but suddenly, my voice got cut off, and I had to stop. We're two days later, and I've been feeling as if I have pharyngitis, but more focussed on my vocal cords. I thought my technique was alright, but apparently, it wasn't... I really hope this is temporary!
TheFrenchTaunter Take it easy! Go on vocal rest (no singing, screaming and minimal speaking) for awhile to reduce swelling and hoarseness. But don't attempt screaming again until you see a medical professional like a laryngologist or ENT specialist to make sure there is nothing wrong and that it is safe to continue. You only get one voice, don't take chances. Make sure that it's healthy and that you consult with a doctor. I am not a medical professional and my advice cannot be substituted for that of a medical professional
When I do that “huh” it just hurts
Thankssss❤️
I'm still having trouble doing fry scream.
I'm sorry to hear it! Sometimes starting on our own just doesn't work that well. If you need extra help, I give lessons on Skype to students worldwide each week. Email: VoiceHacks@gmail.com for rates and scheduling. Also maybe try false cord first, then singing with grit then go back to fry. Don't forget the "breathing for screamers " video also! good luck!
and part 3?
My daughter said I sound like a dinosaur. Determined to learn, but I have asthma and this vibration irritates it. Slowly going to overcome that goals.
Im already a pissed off teenage who dont wanna take off the garbage 😕
Bro...
You wear garbage?
You should call child protective services
@@Sepanta.bozorgzade 😂
I feel like I do it correct, but I have almost no rasp
Hey! I really enjoy these videos! I find them to be really helpful. I am still wondering what vocal techniques bands like Endless Swarm (ruclips.net/video/nHivZv6dw3U/видео.html) are using... Do they sometimes actually use some kind of "Louis Armstrong" technique?
The Cookie Monster approves of the "Louis Armstrong" technique
😆
Okay, I'll die.
how the hell u scream lyrics but u dont move the true chords?
Magic
Just move your mouth like you would when singing. Whispering doesn't use vocals either but you can still say words. Same concepts
Bro letters are produced from parts of the mouth and some are made with your lips or tongue. It has nothing to do with your vocal cords.
Can you make a video about singing a song with rasp throughout?
Also, tell us tips to get that grit.
