This Video is awesome! Ive been singing for practically my whole life and i was always listening to rock or metal, so i tried to sing like my idols do I went through these 3 steps, in the exact same way he did, learning how to Scream and shout So for everyone who is interested in screaming, shouting, or just roughing up your voice, THIS is the way to go.
what I’m wondering is how far you can go with this sort of technique as far as extreme metal vocals go. I’m inspired by dan watson of enterprise earth, whose vocals are much more hardcore than this and I’m wondering if this sort of thing would get me there
@@ChanceUnfolding cheers to you! I thought i was the only one that did the heavy stuff, any way i can do the Fit For a King kinda scream that Enterprise Earth guy seems to be doing a more breathy scream this video would be for practicing the slipknot thing i think. For me i did the whisper scream( like mimick the words under the breath) and one time i gave it a shot, turned the volume way way up and gave it a try and it worked, i would say watch the one Jared Dines did, its an old one like search how to scream get the energy from your gut(diaphragm), but your scream will sound like who you mimmik best of luck!
“When u going to restaurant” “Why u want us to leave?” “Yes” “Why u gon throw a party or smth? Lol” (Convo between me and my dad) What i actually do (with my 7yo brother, the seed is planted.):
Step 1: Yodel Step 2: Fry Step 3: Yodel-fry Step 4: Yodel-fry on pitch. Step 5: Get yelled outta a public bathroom for practicing Yodel-fry on pitch. This video is so informative.
Hardest part of this tutorial: convincing everyone around me I'm not a lunatic by the end of it. Low-key, one of the most in-depth explanations I've seen on vocal fry. Thanks for sharing man.
" convincing everyone around me I'm not a lunatic", that was funny! I have found if I am convinced the exercise is valuable, I am to driven to be embarrassed. A lovely feeling! Thanx mr. Gandalf. I thinkx that knowing that I have to be loonie is the way to evolve
Actually doing low fry notes with very controlled/slow breathing is super-helpfyl to me when I'm dealing with chronic pain. Somehow the low-effort vocalization combined with the breathing works better than just the breathing.
Omg.,.. Thank you ...lmao.. That was great. Having a bit of a theater background as well, this is actually DAMN TAME to what some of the exercises you do for all that madness,..
Can I just say that, unironically, I absolutely love how stupid this sounds. A lot of singers are afraid to sound stupid and get super self conscious about their voice, but doing the stuff that sounds silly or goofy like you are at the beginning is HUGE. Lots of guitar exercises are essentially just noises very rarely sound musical, but they make you a better player. It's something that vocalists tend to shy away from.
I'm a voice instructor and I've just gotten a new student who wants to sing like this in a healthy way. I'm so happy that you've made this video to help the both of us avoid vocal injury!

@@davidebottura that's so kind, thank you! I was trained in the typical Italian classical style and vocal anatomy, and being able to teach a wide variety of students and their styles has forced me to grow in ways I never otherwise would! I feel really lucky. 😊
I'm a 65 year old retired guy who plays Beatles music. I am going to practice the crap out of this and play and sing some metal for my kids. This will be good, maybe I'll video it.
I just watched a man screaming at me for 16 minutes and it was the most helpful video about agressive vocals I've ever seen 😄 Thank you so much, it was enough to finally let something click in my head.
It's so hard to learn how to scream as a woman. Not getting my voice to do what I want can be agrivating. This is really helpful (despite how ridiculous I feel, and my family might find me, for making Tarzan sounds lol) and I hope I can get to the point where I can eventually sing some of my favorite songs!
Don’t worry, I sound like trash too when I try to do this. He has a great natural distortion, my voice apparently is only capable of cracking and singing off key…
@@Nik.No.K It takes a lot of work, but it's not impossible. Taught myself to scream this way 8 ish years ago and have been working on it that whole time. He's showing the right technique, it's just about working with it yourself to shape it into what works for you.

OMFG! The first video EVER actually TELLING you HOW to do it and not just showing off one’s vocal abilities without any proper explanation or “purchase my course to find out how”. I’m on top of the world! I’ve finally found something that really works. Thank you so much, man, for being so kind to give away this precious information for free. And thank you for for all the humor and positivity. I subscribed instantly!
As a fellow vocalist, I gotta say I love what you did here man. Halfway in I expected to just see examples of compression or distortion singing followed by a plug for your singing course where the actual learning if there is any, can be done. So to have you actually teaching for the love of it, and demonstrating technique to people who just want to learn is awesome. I'm an excellent compression singer already through experience, but I have only just now started experimentation with vocal fry and distortion, so I actually learned something here. Keep doing what you're doing man. I'm subscribing 🤘
I've been "cookie monster screaming" for years and it has started to cause me to lose my voice after. It's hard to switch from that to this but I'm trying. This has been super helpful!
Same, until I found some kind of way of moving slightly and finding the false vocal chords. One hundred percent had to do with support muscles. Without them, you're trying to support it all on the delicate muscles and cartilage in your neck/throat, and they're just not built for that. It wasn't the healthiest way, but my first big step towards doing it well actually involved a little clenching. I've learned to relax that since, but it definitely put me on the path to finding the RIGHT muscles to use. Prior to, I'd always end up in coughing fits, sore throat for a day or two, raspier voice. Now, every once in a while I'll feel it a little (tea fixes it in minutes), but generally I can sing along to an album or three and you'd never know (nor would I, really). Literally full metalcore albums with nothing but growling and screaming. The BIG thing to remember is that the volume you hear on stage or on a record has a level of production on top of it. Trying to emulate the INTENSITY without amplification is also a recipe for disaster. I know it's not metal, but Dave Grohl is said to be an incredibly quiet singer in person, but fantastic sound engineers can fix that in a second. A lot of people try to sing over music they're listening to and trying to hear themselves, it's a losing battle and reinforces bad habits. Do it at a volume that's comfortable for YOU, not a volume that will let you hear it over your headphones or whatever. It's like he said at the start, if you're just trying to copy what someone else is doing, you're going to hurt yourself. It requires legit technique to do well. Videos are great, but it's absolutely possible to sort of figure it out on your own. Just... if it hurts or feels different, stop, you're doing it wrong.
@@_mnejing same. I found it by kinda feeling it out. Problem is i think i missed steps now my repertoire consists of whisper screaming and pig squeals 😅
This definitely works. Note: you may still feel a bit of discomfort and fatigue at first. Especially when trying to control pick within the yell. That's ok. You will condition and improve. If you get a bit of fatigue or start to lose your voice a little, that's ok. If you taste blood or it's painful, start the lesson over :).
You're the first person who has technically explained this to me rather than just saying "visualize it." Thank you so much!! While visualizing is an important part of singing, when it comes to distortion, the weirdest techniques end up being the most helpful lol.
Hey. I'm a female aspiring vocalist, I've been learning belting and compression lately. But distortion just seemed impossible for me. Now it isn't anymore! I'm finally on my way to learn growls and screams. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it helped me immensely. Subscribed! Have a nice day.
@@sjsjdjfjf5116 Distortion is mostly about pressure. Not pressure on your chords but from your diaphragm. Ideally you use a fry technique but try to place it at the bottom of your chords, then open up your throat and push -only- from the diaphragm. So, "squeeze" (fry) at the bottom, open the rest. That's the easiest way for me to put it.
I know this video is over two years old but sir... let me tell ya; you just made want to start singing again. After almost three years of giving up at it to focusing on guitar. All can I say is thank you, hope you're okay 💜
I am pretty stuck right now. I'm in a grunge band with a good mix of melodic and heavy songs, we've been going 4 years. Since the big covid break we all had, I've found it incredibly hard to scream at all (where it's intended/needed) and find my voice just dries up instantly when I try to scream. I couldn't even tell you what my technique was before covid as I self-taught from the age of 9, listening to a lot of nu-metal, so imitated that and had no issues. When I started listening to punk rock and other genres, I just kind of imitated that too and it worked up until covid, but since that big break of no shows, I've had issues trying to dial it back in after doing it for YEARS. I'm currently tracking vocals for our 2nd EP and it's got to the point where I'm actually afraid to attempt any of the screaming passages in the songs on the EP, because I know how it's going to go. I tried a couple of passes and it's the same thing - my voice just instantly dries up, chokes out and sounds weak. I'm going to attempt this method after a rest day tomorrow and hope that it re-trains my voice in some way. To anyone who had the patience to read this, sorry for the essay. There's nothing worse than feeling you can't deliver so I just needed to vent amongst some like-minded people.
Well the only solution as a fellow vocalist is get a coach. Search for a good one. To my experience you will know if after some weeks you feel your voice different in a good way.
Sorry for the late reply. I got it sorted, in the end. Some of it was physical tension and the rest was psychological, as it turned out. I was watching another video the following day after this one, not really taking it in, and something he said just clicked in my head - I can't even explain what it was. I thought "Hmm, I'll try it again." Vocals got finished that day. Seemed that I wasn't giving myself enough support and that in turn was tiring me and my voice out.
The same thing happened to me and I'm still trying to re learn my screams and it's even harder now bc I'm so discouraged bc I know I already learned and I hate that I forgot )): I hope with more work i can get to where you are
The part where you jodel like Tarzan and then go "this is good stuff" is just amazing. You truly help me gather the confidence to make a fool of myself enough to improve my singig!
10+ minutes of advanced music theory uttered at an extremely fast pace layered with vocal fry. Nothing against Adam Neely but holy shit is it hard to sit through his videos.
Every video in the past has described vocal fry as "you just feel it" with no explanation on what that feels like, and this video i learned EXACTLY what that feels like and how to do it.
The Cookie Monster thing is called a growl note, and while it can be damaging if overused, when used correctly it can greatly enhance bass singing, Tim Foust is the master of growl notes
My husband will be so pleased to know that all my years of bitching and moaning were actually just preparation for vocal distortion 😂 seriously though, thanks for the video!
“You don’t always wanna sound... all gritty” You don’t know me But really, I paid $10 for a 6 hour udemy course and this did more for me in 17 minutes and for free
That’s actually the first time that I understood what’s screaming. It’s not plain muscles and air manipulation - it’s way more than that. Thank you so much - subscribed for more awesome explanations!
The way this dude is holding the microphone the whole time, this dude just leaks of pure joy and energy, and he's making me laugh sometimes. I don't know how to process my thoughts, what has he done to me? Has this happened to anyone else? great video 10/10, gonna use these videos to learn to sing ty.
I'd say this is the best and most effective tutorial on screaming I've ever come across...finally things are starting to make sense to me...Thanks for this video man!!! I've subbed. Would love to see more tutorials on screaming, how to add vibrato, sustaining a note, breathing, improving vocal range, etc.
Before this tutorial, I couldn't sing aggressively for the life of me. Now, people have made folk songs about me! They include, "He's Coming Up My Drain," "Have Mercy," and my personal favorite, "Balad Of The Screaming Man I Heard In My Basement"
I just came across this today. I knew there was a "trick" (skill that takes practice) to actually doing it. I remember singing rock songs until my voice just gave out the next day. I was always thinking I could never be a rock singer. Now i think I'll never be a rock singer, but i can sorta sound like one.
Dude. I’ve been a vocalist and performer for so long, but I’ve never been able to express myself through my favorite genres: metal, hardcore, etc. Of all the videos, this was the clearest and most accessible lesson. I was starting to think I would never be able to scream, that I would just be missing something forever. Thank you man, seriously this was so helpful.
Divide With your profile picture, I just imagined a pre-title theme scene focused on Kevin being mildly inconvenienced by the most random things around the office and him making that sound every time
Dude all the "Noises" you're making is exactly what my "singing" sounded like when I first started singing. I Def need to start at the beginning of your program but this is freaking awesome. You're one of the best instructors/teachers I've ever found.
Guitarists : from smoke on the water to TTFAF Bassists : from under pressure to john myung solos Drummers : from we will rock you to 2112 Screamers : from tarzan having a stroke to architects music *E V O L U T I O N* *Thanks for the heart!* Also, i have a question When i start screaming lirycs, like actual words my vocal starts sounding like inhales, when im doing exhales. What is this caused by?
After over a year of watching your videos, beating the crap out of my voice, and making dumb noises, I'm finally pulling off a scream that feels healthy, and sounds awesome. Thank you so much!
I keep coming back to this video after 3 years, for some reason at some point I lost the ability to vocal fry, now that I slightly recovered it I will keep practicing Thank you majestic bald man, I love your videos
He's just low-key flexing his biceps for us by holding his mic like a coffee mug. Lol. Awesome videos by the way. Can't wait to practice everything you teach. Keep it up!
This is actually pretty damn helpful, and I was kinda discovering this on my own by accident, but putting it step by step really puts it in a better perspective. I remember a couple of Kurt Cobain's old home recordings had him yodeling a lot when he'd take breaks, and now it makes sense. I thought he was just being a goofball, but that's how he came out with that amazing voice of his.
Learning to scream is my goal for my newest quarantine craft. I want to sing Pierce The Veil songs and Dance Gavin Dance. Also im a time person and I think it would be dope to have a big sound.
I'm a scare actor and my first week WRECKED my vocal cords. I'm a singer before I'm an actor and I was so scared I'd lose my singing ability, I'm using this to learn how to scream and retain my voice. I'll check back in after a bit to lyk how it goes
The metal vocalist in me wants to be all “these aren’t screams, blah blah blah” but honestly, with all the unsafe teachings out there, at least people aren’t going to hurt themselves with this one. 10/10 lol I do want to add for anyone reading this, drink a lot of (room temp/warm) water and avoid things like coffee or soda. While this technique is safe, it dehydrates your throat fairly quickly and can get uncomfortable after extended periods of time.
Zappabain some people do that but that’s not about technique. Drinking milk/dairy along with other certain types of drinks creates phlegm in your throat which creates a gurgling sound. Personally I can’t stand that cause it makes me choke on my own saliva 😂 I don’t know if that’s safe or not. I would avoid anything cold though as it will make your throat tighter (less warmed up quite literally).
Ictus that sounds like semantics lol. Most people I know call it phlegm even though that’s not technically what it is. It’s a commonly accepted phrasing. Fair criticism, but a bit unnecessary my dude.
@@glumauig21 learning how to do non tonal fry screams and building up you diaphragms strength and stamina takes very little technical abillity and is a great way to build up projection and confidence in your voice. Doing tonal frys, or grit singing, is slightly more technical, however ive always found it easier to find notes while doing it myself. Maybe its because i started as a screamer and moved to singing later
I NEVER watch RUclips for anything other than music recordings or memes, but you are amazing dude! No corny editing or put-on personality, super chill and succinct and just plain sick. If you taught at a university or something you’d be a favorite teacher for sure, you have a serious talent for teaching.
dude this helped so much, I've been abusing my vocals for so long just trying the fry. By applying the breaking and yodeling technique, it happened right away. I cannot express how ecstatic I am. Thank you so much
This is so useful, thank you. I often go for harsher vocals when singing but found I was hit-and-miss. This warm-up and technique truly helps me gain more control over them and I've surprised myself with the results.

So to have you actually teaching for the love of it, and demonstrating technique to people who just want to learn is awesome. I'm an excellent compression singer already through experience, but I have only just now started experimentation with vocal fry and distortion, so I actually learned something here. Keep doing what you're doing man. I'm subscribing 🤘
try experimenting with your inward voice its bonkers, also u will never run out of air

I've been "cookie monster screaming" for years and it has started to cause me to lose my voice after. It's hard to switch from that to this but I'm trying. This has been super helpful!
I tried the cookie monster growl for just a second and my voice already hurts, i didnt realize that it would grate my voice like that haha
@@pogpogpurinn ye for me too haha 😅
Same, until I found some kind of way of moving slightly and finding the false vocal chords. One hundred percent had to do with support muscles. Without them, you're trying to support it all on the delicate muscles and cartilage in your neck/throat, and they're just not built for that.
It wasn't the healthiest way, but my first big step towards doing it well actually involved a little clenching. I've learned to relax that since, but it definitely put me on the path to finding the RIGHT muscles to use.
Prior to, I'd always end up in coughing fits, sore throat for a day or two, raspier voice. Now, every once in a while I'll feel it a little (tea fixes it in minutes), but generally I can sing along to an album or three and you'd never know (nor would I, really). Literally full metalcore albums with nothing but growling and screaming.
The BIG thing to remember is that the volume you hear on stage or on a record has a level of production on top of it. Trying to emulate the INTENSITY without amplification is also a recipe for disaster. I know it's not metal, but Dave Grohl is said to be an incredibly quiet singer in person, but fantastic sound engineers can fix that in a second. A lot of people try to sing over music they're listening to and trying to hear themselves, it's a losing battle and reinforces bad habits. Do it at a volume that's comfortable for YOU, not a volume that will let you hear it over your headphones or whatever.
It's like he said at the start, if you're just trying to copy what someone else is doing, you're going to hurt yourself. It requires legit technique to do well.
Videos are great, but it's absolutely possible to sort of figure it out on your own. Just... if it hurts or feels different, stop, you're doing it wrong.
@@_mnejing same. I found it by kinda feeling it out. Problem is i think i missed steps now my repertoire consists of whisper screaming and pig squeals 😅
Imagine if Cookie Monster was metal head
Just had an ad on this video telling me that watching random youtube videos wouldn't help me learn to sing.
Same the website was something 30 day singer of whatever was that
What a sleazy way to advertise your website, shitting on people who are sharing their knowledge for free out of love for the art.
Reallity is most of the people watching random videos dont learn how to sing cause they dont try long enough with the basics
I get it too I'm a singer already just trying to get a better voice and more technique
they will if u do what they say and work hard + create your own style
Mr Clean Yodels Into Microphone For 17 Minutes
ngl good tutorial thanks for the advice!!
You should do a more extreme tutorial, like growling or screaming(death metal,black metal)
I'll add it to the list!
@@chrisliepe would love to see it you're a great vocalist
Yes! Please do this. I'll be subbing as well because this is great.
@@chrisliepe would you be willing to listen to Jon Mess from Dance Gavin Dance and Secret Band and discuss his technique?
@@chrisliepe PLEASE do this!! I want to do something like George Clarke of Deafheaven
This definitely works.
Note: you may still feel a bit of discomfort and fatigue at first. Especially when trying to control pick within the yell. That's ok. You will condition and improve. If you get a bit of fatigue or start to lose your voice a little, that's ok. If you taste blood or it's painful, start the lesson over :).
You're the first person who has technically explained this to me rather than just saying "visualize it." Thank you so much!! While visualizing is an important part of singing, when it comes to distortion, the weirdest techniques end up being the most helpful lol.
Awesome!! Here’s another that might be helpful: ruclips.net/video/vtTF1rKqGHs/видео.html
This was the BEST vocal tutorial on grit I've ever seen
Ls Metalhead I second this! Been looking for a video like this for a loooong time!
I've been searching for this kinda shit for years, this is literally the best I've seen, now off to try it out!
@@U.AND.ME_FILM He explained it very well but I couldn't figure it out anyway. But that's my problem I guess.
Hey.
I'm a female aspiring vocalist, I've been learning belting and compression lately. But distortion just seemed impossible for me.
Now it isn't anymore! I'm finally on my way to learn growls and screams. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it helped me immensely. Subscribed! Have a nice day.
How is the practice coming along?
Yes how is your practice now!???
@@VaVaBanks28 Better than ever! :) My growls still need a bit of work, but it's getting there
I’m also a girl and I don’t seem to have a very strong vocal break like it’s very soft and I have to push for it to happen is thta just me?
@@sjsjdjfjf5116 Distortion is mostly about pressure. Not pressure on your chords but from your diaphragm. Ideally you use a fry technique but try to place it at the bottom of your chords, then open up your throat and push -only- from the diaphragm. So, "squeeze" (fry) at the bottom, open the rest. That's the easiest way for me to put it.
I know this video is over two years old but sir... let me tell ya; you just made want to start singing again. After almost three years of giving up at it to focusing on guitar. All can I say is thank you, hope you're okay 💜
Thanks for watching! And I am so glad it re inspired you!
I'm a young female in the dream to sound like halestorm. I'm practicing guitar as well. But my singing is what I want to improve on right now.
I am too. How's it going for you?
Your in luck
I think I speak for everyone else in saying that you prooobably came to the wrong place.
@Tucker Mulder me too😁
@Tucker Mulder thx😇

I'd watch it immediately

Same! haha
I am pretty stuck right now.
I'm in a grunge band with a good mix of melodic and heavy songs, we've been going 4 years.
Since the big covid break we all had, I've found it incredibly hard to scream at all (where it's intended/needed) and find my voice just dries up instantly when I try to scream.
I couldn't even tell you what my technique was before covid as I self-taught from the age of 9, listening to a lot of nu-metal, so imitated that and had no issues.
When I started listening to punk rock and other genres, I just kind of imitated that too and it worked up until covid, but since that big break of no shows, I've had issues trying to dial it back in after doing it for YEARS.
I'm currently tracking vocals for our 2nd EP and it's got to the point where I'm actually afraid to attempt any of the screaming passages in the songs on the EP, because I know how it's going to go.
I tried a couple of passes and it's the same thing - my voice just instantly dries up, chokes out and sounds weak.
I'm going to attempt this method after a rest day tomorrow and hope that it re-trains my voice in some way.
To anyone who had the patience to read this, sorry for the essay.
There's nothing worse than feeling you can't deliver so I just needed to vent amongst some like-minded people.
How’s it going bro?
Well the only solution as a fellow vocalist is get a coach. Search for a good one. To my experience you will know if after some weeks you feel your voice different in a good way.
How is It bro pleaseee
Sorry for the late reply.
I got it sorted, in the end.
Some of it was physical tension and the rest was psychological, as it turned out.
I was watching another video the following day after this one, not really taking it in, and something he said just clicked in my head - I can't even explain what it was.
I thought "Hmm, I'll try it again."
Vocals got finished that day.
Seemed that I wasn't giving myself enough support and that in turn was tiring me and my voice out.
The same thing happened to me and I'm still trying to re learn my screams and it's even harder now bc I'm so discouraged bc I know I already learned and I hate that I forgot )): I hope with more work i can get to where you are

The part where you jodel like Tarzan and then go "this is good stuff" is just amazing. You truly help me gather the confidence to make a fool of myself enough to improve my singig!
Ten years of unsuccessful trying, and now it INSTANTLY worked for me:)) Wow! Thanks Chris!
When you started talking in vocal fry you sounded just like Adam Neely
Yessssssss
BASS
Ta-la-la-la-la la-la
Vetka.ch THE LICK
10+ minutes of advanced music theory uttered at an extremely fast pace layered with vocal fry.
Nothing against Adam Neely but holy shit is it hard to sit through his videos.
My roommates are genuinely concerned for me now... but this video is awesome
Goddamn i can imagine it somehow hahaha
Every video in the past has described vocal fry as "you just feel it" with no explanation on what that feels like, and this video i learned EXACTLY what that feels like and how to do it.
The Cookie Monster thing is called a growl note, and while it can be damaging if overused, when used correctly it can greatly enhance bass singing, Tim Foust is the master of growl notes
This is what I'm striving for: 15:06 has so much thickness to it. Damn that was a hearty scream.
My husband will be so pleased to know that all my years of bitching and moaning were actually just preparation for vocal distortion 😂 seriously though, thanks for the video!
15:08 that was absolutely beautiful. Im sold.
“You don’t always wanna sound... all gritty”
You don’t know me
But really, I paid $10 for a 6 hour udemy course and this did more for me in 17 minutes and for free
Great to hear!
lol i was scaring the *crap* out of my parents they thought im possessed
hehe
That’s actually the first time that I understood what’s screaming. It’s not plain muscles and air manipulation - it’s way more than that. Thank you so much - subscribed for more awesome explanations!
This man’s voice is INSANE. So excited to practice this when there aren’t any sleeping people in my house
11:08, the captions doing a magical job of translating his screams!!
The way this dude is holding the microphone the whole time, this dude just leaks of pure joy and energy, and he's making me laugh sometimes. I don't know how to process my thoughts, what has he done to me? Has this happened to anyone else? great video 10/10, gonna use these videos to learn to sing ty.
the beauty of this is that it feels like you're still really practicing this and i'm just keeping up with you as i listen
Been tryin to do a chris cornell scream and let me tell you, this guy just helped me understand it the best, no cookie monster and no forcing.
I'm pretty sure this is the same technique used for the Wilhelm Scream.
I need a sound proof room to practice this stuff
Or understanding neighbors... or a car :)
I'd say this is the best and most effective tutorial on screaming I've ever come across...finally things are starting to make sense to me...Thanks for this video man!!! I've subbed. Would love to see more tutorials on screaming, how to add vibrato, sustaining a note, breathing, improving vocal range, etc.
Before this tutorial, I couldn't sing aggressively for the life of me. Now, people have made folk songs about me! They include, "He's Coming Up My Drain," "Have Mercy," and my personal favorite, "Balad Of The Screaming Man I Heard In My Basement"
I just came across this today. I knew there was a "trick" (skill that takes practice) to actually doing it. I remember singing rock songs until my voice just gave out the next day. I was always thinking I could never be a rock singer. Now i think I'll never be a rock singer, but i can sorta sound like one.
Never was so entertained by a singing tutorial's comment section and by the video itself 😂 great stuff I'll definitely try!
Me: wow, I’ve been looking for something like thi-
Chris: sowecancomeaLIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
Loved this lesson!! Thanks! How he kept a str8 face throughout and did not spill any coffee from his microphone coffee cup, is beyond me.
Dude. I’ve been a vocalist and performer for so long, but I’ve never been able to express myself through my favorite genres: metal, hardcore, etc.
Of all the videos, this was the clearest and most accessible lesson. I was starting to think I would never be able to scream, that I would just be missing something forever. Thank you man, seriously this was so helpful.
Found hope for this video too…
"I'm going to teach you how to sing aggressively without hurting your voice."
3:25- tries to mate with geese
7:04 Is pretty much just how I react to any inconvenience at this point.
Divide With your profile picture, I just imagined a pre-title theme scene focused on Kevin being mildly inconvenienced by the most random things around the office and him making that sound every time
Dude all the "Noises" you're making is exactly what my "singing" sounded like when I first started singing. I Def need to start at the beginning of your program but this is freaking awesome. You're one of the best instructors/teachers I've ever found.
I love how informational this one actually is
I dont know why but, your scream face is like Tobey Maguire's face stopping a train
I almost died choking from croissant...
@@ToraNagumanova Gonna cry?

Bassists : from under pressure to john myung solos
Drummers : from we will rock you to 2112
Screamers : from tarzan having a stroke to architects music

*Thanks for the heart!*
Also, i have a question
When i start screaming lirycs, like actual words my vocal starts sounding like inhales, when im doing exhales. What is this caused by?
I’m just laughing at all the comments while listening to you
Ha ha same
Same 😂😂

After over a year of watching your videos, beating the crap out of my voice, and making dumb noises, I'm finally pulling off a scream that feels healthy, and sounds awesome. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome! This is GREAT to hear!
@@chrisliepe Update: I caught Covid and then completely lost the scream. Any tips on getting it back?
Lol, just got it back 😂
I keep coming back to this video after 3 years, for some reason at some point I lost the ability to vocal fry, now that I slightly recovered it I will keep practicing
Thank you majestic bald man, I love your videos

He's just low-key flexing his biceps for us by holding his mic like a coffee mug. Lol. Awesome videos by the way. Can't wait to practice everything you teach. Keep it up!
It's a common misconception, but just so you know, biceps can't flex. The muscle (bicep) contracts so the joint (elbow) flexes.
@@paulmayer8654 contract and then flex deez nuts
This is actually pretty damn helpful, and I was kinda discovering this on my own by accident, but putting it step by step really puts it in a better perspective. I remember a couple of Kurt Cobain's old home recordings had him yodeling a lot when he'd take breaks, and now it makes sense. I thought he was just being a goofball, but that's how he came out with that amazing voice of his.

I'm a scare actor and my first week WRECKED my vocal cords. I'm a singer before I'm an actor and I was so scared I'd lose my singing ability, I'm using this to learn how to scream and retain my voice. I'll check back in after a bit to lyk how it goes
The metal vocalist in me wants to be all “these aren’t screams, blah blah blah” but honestly, with all the unsafe teachings out there, at least people aren’t going to hurt themselves with this one. 10/10 lol
I do want to add for anyone reading this, drink a lot of (room temp/warm) water and avoid things like coffee or soda. While this technique is safe, it dehydrates your throat fairly quickly and can get uncomfortable after extended periods of time.
I heard people (e.g. Opeth's singer Mikåel I think) drank milk so the vocal cords were more prone to growling.
@@Zappabain The Browning drinks Yoohoo!
Zappabain some people do that but that’s not about technique. Drinking milk/dairy along with other certain types of drinks creates phlegm in your throat which creates a gurgling sound. Personally I can’t stand that cause it makes me choke on my own saliva 😂 I don’t know if that’s safe or not. I would avoid anything cold though as it will make your throat tighter (less warmed up quite literally).
Dan Hernandez it does not create phlem it binds to the mucus lining your throat and thickens it. Phlem is something else entirely.
Ictus that sounds like semantics lol. Most people I know call it phlegm even though that’s not technically what it is. It’s a commonly accepted phrasing. Fair criticism, but a bit unnecessary my dude.
i definitely still can't sing but now i can at least entertain the hell out of a toddler
why the hell am I watching this, I don't even sing
You could start practicing, then later this information will be very valuable
@@might_e this is probably a better entry point in to vocals than regular singing.
@@EnvisionedBlindness Shouldn't it be the other way around? Learning to sing first before doing the complicated stuff?
@@glumauig21 learning how to do non tonal fry screams and building up you diaphragms strength and stamina takes very little technical abillity and is a great way to build up projection and confidence in your voice. Doing tonal frys, or grit singing, is slightly more technical, however ive always found it easier to find notes while doing it myself. Maybe its because i started as a screamer and moved to singing later
Jonathan Blind interesting. I’ve always seen people recommending to learn singing first before going beyond that. Thanks for your input!
Chris thank you for being the ONLY coach who i found to be straight to the point. Subbed. Much love!
Thanks for the sub!!
I NEVER watch RUclips for anything other than music recordings or memes, but you are amazing dude! No corny editing or put-on personality, super chill and succinct and just plain sick. If you taught at a university or something you’d be a favorite teacher for sure, you have a serious talent for teaching.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy what I'm doing!!
all i could hear this whole time was "oh geez rick"
Haaaaa!!!!!!
dude this helped so much, I've been abusing my vocals for so long just trying the fry. By applying the breaking and yodeling technique, it happened right away. I cannot express how ecstatic I am. Thank you so much
This is so useful, thank you. I often go for harsher vocals when singing but found I was hit-and-miss. This warm-up and technique truly helps me gain more control over them and I've surprised myself with the results.
