I try to practice screaming when reading stories to my kids. They love it haha.
Yeah I generally sing baby shark, cocomelon in screams sometimes, I also play a game with my youngest on the school run where he'll point out something we're walking past and I'll scream it out he finds it hilarious and I get to practice 😂
My 4 year old daughter loves screaming along to King For A Day by Pierce the Veil in the car!
I also practice screaming when I yell at someone in traffic and she thinks it's hysterical.
at 40 I've just started false chord and can't tell if it's more epiglotle or its happening in the right area, EVI 🤘🏽
Thank you for living
We’ve been watching your videos and utilizing your tips to improve our vocals for our upcoming EP and it’s certainly made a huge difference. Thanks so much for all that you do for us vocalists!
Superior knowledge 🧠🧠🔥🔥🔥
Bro! You have a gift of teaching. Your instructions are insane. Words cannot express my gratitude for your content. Thank you!!!
I choked when singing joy division new dawn fades at the me part
That first question perfectly explains my road block. I'm going to have to practice this on my drive to work
Very good video!
Just started wanting to seriously start working on my expression through voice, to give life to my epic lyrics. (Im a writer)
Thanks for the awesome tips, bro.
Love these videos! They have helped me a lot!
Any tips how to improve low chest singing while doing fry?
Dude you have serious talent. I've been screaming in nirvana cover bands since the 90s and never knew this much went into it. Bac then screaming was just screaming. Grunge changed that. 48 and still screaming in nirvana bands 😂
OMG thank you for doing a segment on women's voices. I haven't found ANYONE covering this. I would love a whole video.
I can't get volume on my fry screams no matter what I do! I know this is a common problem with people who are misinformed and think a fry scream comes from a loud vocal fry, but I know that's not what I'm doing. Any tips? I'm close to giving up! I think I do have the basic fry scream correct, but the volume just won't materialize. I don't want to be stuck in a whisper scream forever. I've tried some of the things you've demonstrated here and in other videos, but I'm still stuck.
If this has any bearing on the matter, I'm a mezzo soprano, but have a pretty big range. I have a lot of traditional singing training.
Hi David, could you answer a question: how do I know if I'm doing breath distortion and not a false cord scream? and how can i fix it?
Thank you ALLOT for making these videos! It helps ALLOT! One thing I’m wondering about is that when I try to do FAST PHASE SONGS with screaming, example some stuff when the vocalist are screaming REALLY FAST and with MUCH WORDING (example some Psyclon Nine and Lorna Shore-stuff) I tend to run out of air and i kinda “run on less to no air at the end”, what should I doo?
Also, I don’t know…but I also expected the screams to “Feel Different” like that they were to be based in a “different part of the throat” I just feel like it sounds like it’s based “Somewhere Else” in the throat when I hear you and other vocalists vocalise. The vocals I doo doesn’t hurt, I just maybe feel a little tight in the throat sometimes…but that can be worked on…
if i'm understanding correctly, i think the "windy-ness" being described by michael benus is a little different than david interprets it here. or maybe i just have my own weird problem, but for me it's definitely not a textural "airiness" but an actual tone with a pitch center. after playing around a bit and watching tutorials on whistle voice, i've discovered that it's actually my whistle register. whistle is achieved when there's *too much* closure, it's literally air squeaking through the vocal cords as they're held completely closed. what i'm finding is that with my voice the whistle seems to kick in even with light amounts of compression. i'm not sure if it's related to how i'm twanging, or another related constriction / placement issue. it's cool to be able to do whistle tones easily, but i'm having the worst time trying to remove it from my vocal distortion. i wonder if i need to be constricting in a slightly different area or something, or just constricting less, or if its more about the air pressure and support, tbh i've tried so many different adjustments but to no avail. i think it's something in what my vocal cords are doing, they shouldn't be squeezed so tight that it creates a whistle
Could you make a video on M Shadows vocals? mainly the "City Of Evil" era...
Thank you so much for these videos, it shows what a great and dedicated teacher you are!
My question is: I've been trying to practice False Cord screams, and while I think that I'm kinda doing something right since it doesn't hurt at all, I'm not quite sure about the placement in my throat. I noticed that I can slightly "move" the distortion, and depending on where I'm placing it, I can feel the vibration either stronger in the back of my soft palate, right under my chin, or above the Adam's apple. Is it wrong to feel the vibration/distortion anywhere but in a specific place, or am I simply manipulating the tone and I'm doing nothing wrong and can continue like this?
Amazing video! Question for a future one: With the help of your videos I finally started to do false chord growls without straining my voice, but they seem to have no sustain. I believe that my breathing technique is not quite reight because I kind of run out of air. How much air should I use for false chord vocals in order to make them longer and fuller?
Hi David, love the videos. I got a question
Pitched screams (the Chester scream) are a real handful and from what I'm experiencing, are several steps more difficult than simply just false cord distortion. Are pitched screams actually just manipulation of the vocal break to work together with the melodic tone to "chop" it up instead of just removing it altogether? This is by far my biggest hurdle so far, and every time i attempt to do it, the broken sound just kicks the tone out instead of working with it.
Can you do a how to scream like Greg Puciato video? I believe he has such a unique and memorable style!
2 questions. Why is it that I'm just a tad sore the next morning after doing a 30-45 min show with false chords. And also. I can get the fry scream but only can project it with my larynx shooting up and doing it in my head voice leading to a scream that is way too tight feeling and is not sustainable.
Thanks!
So I've been doing this one vocal program for a couple weeks and I’m definitely seeing improvement. I am a trans man so still navigating what feels natural to me and so far it's doing yells as well as lows to. What would be the best ways to improve without sounding broken? Also I do feel my diaphragm more but am I supposed to feel soreness in the beginning?
“women and anyone afab” absolute chad
If being inclusive makes us a “chad” then we’re proud to be Chad.
hi David, How do I add the arytenoids to my false cord and fry scream? thank you
My screams always sound too open. How do I get a more "dry" sound to my fry screams, like Matt Tuck from BFMV.
Dude wtf I can scream😮 let's goooo
Next time you're doing a vocal analysis video definitely consider Jaimie hails from Polaris, his high pitched vocals are super unique . Also lochie keogh and Garrett Russell
When practicing False Chord screams, I need a LOT of power and air to distort the scream, but that makes me run out of air in 2 seconds. I know it's supposed to be done with little effort, but when trying to ease back, the distortion goes away and I sound like an impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger. What am I doing wrong and how can I ease back without letting the distortion go away?
Hey David, I’ve been practicing vocals for about a year with serious effort. I’ve noticed so much improvement but I lose my confidence almost everyday because it takes me a solid 20 min to get back in the groove and I’m always afraid I’ve lost it. For this reason I can never really show my friends my progress without an extensive warm up lol. What are some essential warm ups I should do daily to get back in the groove easier?
I think I'm getting pretty good with my screaming.... what are some tips to help with my confidence on screaming in front of people to show them what I've got?
Can you still be a talented vocalist if you can only do false chord? Because I can't get the basics of fry and I've given up
I need advice on how to even begin with vocal fry screaming. I know what vocal fry is and how the sound is made, but when I try to put it into action once I try to add some power to it, it falls apart and turns into false chord screaming. I feel like my vocal chords may be too weak or untrained to make the sound I want.
I've been practicing screaming on and off for a long time now and am getting ready to record my first EP. I do false cord lows and highs and can get great sound when just screaming, but when I incorporate words and start screaming sentences for songs, I overexert myself and it gets harder to keep the same sound and depth without getting lightheaded.
So how would I go about practicing screaming actual sentences with false cord lows and highs without forcing it too much?
I've been screaming for a bit now and I think I've gotten pretty good at it, but I was wondering if there's a way to get a really guttural scream without rolling my tongue all the way to the roof of my mouth? It makes it hard to enunciate certain sounds/words. Thanks a ton, David :)
I have a question. I can maintain my fry lows for a while then when I switch to my fry highs I can hold them for not that long 6 seconds maybe then my throat gets more tight and I'm left with a dry no distortion fry sound and pain in my throat. How do you hold fry high's for longer without closing up and getting that dry ass fry noise?
I have a question, how do you combine 3 things at once: false cord, fry and a clean note underneath like Chester did (for example Crawling)?
I just strated to learn false chord screams, and I noticed my scream is sounds too growly…? I mean I hearing in my head too much rumbling if this makes sense. In example your false chord is cleaner and softer. Maybe i should back up the energy and try in a more relaxed way?
How do I get the raspiness out of my screams? And when I do lows, how can I work on it that they last longer in time? I get choked out fast with my lows
I've just started false chord screams some months ago (from zero experience) and can make good distortion when i am just making sounds and exploring... but i totally lose that and feels like im straining my throat or dropping my larynx when trying to do actual lyrics to a song. Any tips for this?
and followup, is there any difference in technique for faster, more staccato lyrics?
What the throat should look like while performing screams.
Should your larynx go up when screaming or go down?
Or does it depent in the people's voices?
Im concerned that i scream from my throat because my larynx goes up everytime i do. I dont feel any squeezing happening in my throat but i feel pain every session.
Can you please do a video on how to high scream like Dani filth in early cradle of Filth
So I have an interesting predicament in screaming. I learned how to scream from Chris liepe, so I learned how to add volume to a high note till it breaks up and push thru to a scream while bearing down on my diaphragm. I got really good at them, I got so good I could and can slide a clean note into a scream and back to clean and the other way around. I also got them to the point that I could do them safely and they weren't taxing. I could rage them on a road trip and still have my voice by time I got to where I was going. But looking back and now learning how to false chord I fear that I am just tearing my voice. If you go to my channel and listen to transparent I have an example of this at 0:30. I can distort my scream to sound like deserter, chester Bennington, Corey Taylor style screams. If you have anything to add it would be helpful! Thank you
About the studying FC and fry at the same time, I did do that and now when I try to go high with my false cords I almost always switch to fry scream at a certain point. Do you have any tips to help with that?
Hello! I have learned joe duplantier's vocal technique, who is a head voice satured, but it's require a enormous compression, so my scream is very, very loud. How can I train without waking up all my neighbours? Thank u
Im someone who started 4 months ago with false chord screaming and I heard from a lot of people that you can loose your Voice forever, if you do it wrong for a long period of Time.(Its supposed to happen, by applying to much pressure in the throat, so that your hair, which produce your voice, get destroyed. Could you explain to me how I notice that I do it wrong and how to avoid that?
Also I still get sore throat after max. 2 songs, which make it barely possible for me to continue and takes about 3 days to recover.
Just wanted to know if that is normal.
But I sang in total like 5 hours.
Also I randomly speak a few words in the false chord scream every few days since I started.
The time and Duration for the soreness neuer changed since I began.
I only know how to speak in false chord and I only use the shape of my mouthroom to change the sound and I am never loud.
I’m not a vocalist at all, but I’m trying to learn for an album I’m writing (because I can’t find anyone that wants to be a vocalist on a metal album); is it easier to learn to sing first or just try to learn screaming vocals?
Hey I got a quick question. Sometimes i notice that my false cord lows are super weak and I get almost an empty sounding. I was wondering what some good warmups are for low screams, I believe something is just tight within my throat preventing me from hitting the sound sometimes.
Does this help to belt like Matthew sanders?
how do i add more gurgles and more animalistic sounds to my false chord scream? i wanna have very deep and gross, gurgly vocals for my slam band. also i feel like my vocals are very weak when i start practicing and it sounds very airy and i can hear a lot of my true voice. is it because i don’t warm enough or do i need more practice? thanks love ur vids.
After I scream for a while, i start to feel almost like there’s saliva coming up back in my throat. I don’t feel any pain, and after a little bit it goes away. I was wondering if this is normal or if i should look into changing my technique.
Is your typical low a hybrid scream or something because it’s just on another level of beefy that I can’t even conceive doing with just false chord (still trying to learn how to even do fry but it definitely doesn’t sound like pure fry either to me)
Or is it achievable with pure false chord? Just with a lot of fine detail in resonance and balance?
Hello I’ve been learning how to use my false cords and I have the down pretty solid but I keep hearing people talk about compression. I’m not really sure what to use for compression and I’ve been able to use less breath and make them move but not enough that I’m running out of breath before I can do anything. What should I be using for compression?
my fry scream sounds like i'm constipated...
When I shout a word it sounds good.
But when I sing a phrase or a verse it's really ugly.
do you have an exercise for that please ?
How do I scream falsechord pitchless. I can scream falsechord but I can't make low screams properly. what should I do ?
How do I get the CC era Chris Barnes vocals?
Whenever I try fry screams, i can only ever get out what sounds like a voice crack projected louder, it almost never sounds like a scream. How could I fix this?
How can I start taking lessons with you
Hi, Devid! It can be when fry sream goes to false cord or on the contrary? I feel easier to do fry scream but false cord sounds really fast irritate my throat, that normal?
Dude can you do a young bert mccracken scream?
I can only whisper scream atm. Is there a way I can make it sound less airy or how could I try to develop it from a whisper scream to a full on scream??
How can i transition from kargyraa throat singing to a full fc scream? I can kargyraa but can't fc in any way i try
Does age matter when it comes to learning to scream? I started singing lesson at 35 years old (im 36 now). Will it take me longer than say someone who Is 25?
For the QnA:
Are you ever to old to Start learning how to scream properly? I experimented a bit by my self and failed a lot. So I wonder if you are ever to old to learn how to scream properly, e.g. at the age of 30.
Hello, David! I have a question. If I'm make mistake once in my screaming, I start to hiccup every time every next try. I had a lot experence (not always right experence) many years before and after a big pause it started to bother me a lot.
Dude same, its, weird, it feels like im not warm up enough
