I really wish more vocal coaches would help with screaming as well as singing. The fact that the Melissa is an older woman makes me have extreme respect for her teaching screaming effectively.
dude, when you study opera you do a loooot of different voice exercises, you also need a lot of different sounds to perform XXI contemporary pieces.. so I feel this woman is more about sound/expression than "screaming".
Not trying to be insulting but back when I used to listen to them all the time and watch their live videos I could just tell that his voice was kinda dying out. Glad he went to the expert. And now I know where to go to find her and learn how to scream better
Love Jeffrey Wellfare. The guy has so much passion for his music and still tries so hard to achieve his goal, even though his band has fallen apart time after time. The band is now called Capture and they're coming back with a good punch.
the album is so bad.. I heard he decided no more screaming because he really fucked up his folds and he even took lessons from her (she has it on her yt) and he must of stopped them
This woman is a gift from Heaven, or Hell? lol. What a pro, regardless if this is her genre, she shows how to do it properly because it’s what we love. Class all the way, thank you for stepping up to the plate for us.
Never had dramas or finished range, been singing since I was 8 and unclean vocals since I was 13, smoked since 16, now 26, also never stopped due to throat infections 🤷🏻♂️
Dudes always been a beast of a vocalist.. i remember before the boys even got that summer Ian contract and him and my brother played in curse at 27.. can fucking use a mic
The fact that she teaches annunciation is awesome. The best vocalists sound like what the goal is. Distorted singing. Not grindcore reee red raaah rajah shit screams.
Thank you so much me watching your videos has helped me out a lot and I think you for that and I will keep watching your videos cause I want to get really good at vocals and you have Taught me a lot and I appreciate it and I would like to see where to go from here
Okay, I must say she was an extremely great teacher in the past and she literally invented lotta tricks and techniques but come on people, things have gone way further since those times. FC screams and growls are pretty much the same technique with just a few minor differences. Not even saying that FC screams actually have nothing in common with false cords, as the distortion is produced by cartilages there, which are bigger than false cords and give that signature lower rumbling distortion VS the smoother white-noise-like distortion produced by false cords (think fry screams). There's even laryngoscopy videos proving that, finding a good one that shows everything is just a matter of like 15 mins
I love her ... but you can hear how the excess pressure under the folds has weakened her speaking voice considerably ... I would like to see some real research into how she can 'safely' teach this ... just like Cathrin Sadolin what they're doing is fantastic I love the sounds but show me the actual research that's says .... 1) this is EXACTLY how I am making the sound physiologically and 2) why it is safe. People should be pursuing the research into these methods!
ANB Aaron Newland-Bentley Agreed. Her voice sounds unnaturally raspy. It's easy for her to claim something along the lines of "I teach proper technique" when she's already an established vocal coach and the first one to become fairly well known for incorporating harsh vocal styles. A claim, regardless of an obvious level of professionalism and at least some understanding of the mechanics, doesn't mean absolution in regards to perfection of the craft.
It could be because of her age. She has gotten noticeably older, and it's possible that these techniques are harsher on weaker folds. It also only seems like her fries are what are raspy, her talking voice sounds fine. I'm not saying research shouldn't be done, I'm just saying it may not be as big of an issue.
You heard it, “they’re not going to stop bc they love it, chicks love it, and they love doing it.” Pay attention vocal coaches. If you think there is no future in screaming, think again. You couldn’t be further from the truth.
Diction is an important part of singing/screaming. She's making sure his sound is more forward in position, and furling your lips like that aids in this as well (especially for this style of vocalization). This ensures that the listener can clearly hear what the vocalist is saying without having to go back and look up lyrics, because the nature of the scream makes their words/pronunciation muffled. Pronouncing "back" like "bouack" produces a more crisp sound like that can more easily cut through the texture of the rest of the music around him without sounding as muffled in tone. It sounds weird without the rest of the band to back him up, but in context it makes a WORLD of difference. Crisp diction is what you want in any vocal style! It sounds better AND you can actually understand what is being said. (Classically trained voice student here- if there are any other professionals here, please correct anything I got wrong).

Gino Simplicio you're right Gino

there is little to no education on correct screaming technique apart from her zen of screaming books, it also appeals to a lesser audience
@@StabbyPotato and that's exactly the poiubt
get grounded in yourself, assimilate your emotions and you'll find thy power to scream
Coolest lady ever, teaching a metalhead how to be metal ♥
I love this woman. She doesn't hear noise and tell us to stop, she hears flaws and offers improvement.
Not trying to be insulting but back when I used to listen to them all the time and watch their live videos I could just tell that his voice was kinda dying out. Glad he went to the expert. And now I know where to go to find her and learn how to scream better
"Anyone can scream" true but most people saying this don't understand that there's different techniques for screaming and for some it's difficult
Anyone can cough blood
Love Jeffrey Wellfare. The guy has so much passion for his music and still tries so hard to achieve his goal, even though his band has fallen apart time after time. The band is now called Capture and they're coming back with a good punch.
God bless this lady!
God sucks

It's good to hear her do what she teaches. It does work. I really want to get lessons from her.
This woman is a gift from Heaven, or Hell? lol. What a pro, regardless if this is her genre, she shows how to do it properly because it’s what we love. Class all the way, thank you for stepping up to the plate for us.

Never had dramas or finished range, been singing since I was 8 and unclean vocals since I was 13, smoked since 16, now 26, also never stopped due to throat infections 🤷🏻♂️
This is beautiful.
I love the aggressive screaming at an old lady in a conversation
Baaaack!
1:41
I want lessons from her. How cool would it be to be able to scream along with your favorites?
Love her. She is amazing.
I’ve Loved Her For Yearssss
0:53 They should do a crossover, they sound really good together.
Dudes always been a beast of a vocalist.. i remember before the boys even got that summer Ian contract and him and my brother played in curse at 27.. can fucking use a mic
Chuck Schuldiner said in 1993 that "it takes a lot of energy and a lot of throat abuse to get through a show".
I have high hopes for CTC's new album after hearing "The Lake" and seeing this video.
Basu117 :(
Actually they are Capture now:)
Isaac Kawlewski yea but it still isn't the same that's just Jeffrey
Sad Prodigy true forgot about that

This makes me genuinely happy
It's so funny to watch 😂😂😂 mostly the part I've been to hell and back😂😂😂😂
Oh m-y GOD, amazing. Perfect man.
She is so amazing
How is his scream so loud?
I was wondering the same thing. That has a lot more projection then most screamers do. Do you know what type of scream he's doing?
@@Bmokage it's a try scream but I think you just get better at projecting it over time...
Learned projection
Learned projection - it means that just he practice a lot and now can scream so loud?
But why he is screaming much more louder than Mellisa?
It's called microphone
She's just....Pure
This lady reminds me of my crazy art teacher that I’m sure everyone has had
The fact that she teaches annunciation is awesome. The best vocalists sound like what the goal is. Distorted singing. Not grindcore reee red raaah rajah shit screams.

ANB Aaron Newland-Bentley she has helped multiple vocalist recover and relearn screams after damaging their voices.
How much does she charge?
She killed it at Boack!
Why is she teaching him "head down, eyes up"?
Pour pousser le visage est important les muscles je pense
0:07 ma namma Jeff

1:40 I don't really get that part. Why is she trying to change his pronunciation? Bouack just sounds weird.
