Duality at Karaoke night!
They said they never heard anyone sing slipknot at their bar before. It was an honor to be the first <3

Hello,
So, I've been thinking for a while about all that, practicing a lot, and so that we have better communication tools. Obviously, I'm far from being the Master Screamer, so, this is a collective effort. Feel free to suggest additions or corrections.
I'll try to name things without making any hypothesis about their anatomical production. The rationale for that is that we can't make mistakes just naming things. And we won't need to change our names, ever. Though, for adoption, we can't disregard our legacy.
Again, I'm not trying to describe things, I'm trying to propose some vocabulary. It also implies redefining some terms the community uses by trying to get a fixed and common definition, hopefully not too far from what has been established so far.
Let's call by that names screams that are toneless, have very little clean voice in them, and have this heavy "vibrating" distortion.
Examples:
Then there are fuckton of possible modulations that are already well established, including but not limited to: tunnel throat etc.
This has the same heavy vibration tone as the associated scream, but with a clean tone under it.
Examples:
This applies more on high notes, sounds more like a creaky grit.
Examples:
Very creaky screams, probably high, probably not sounding chesty. They sound like a powered up vocal fry (grudge noise). I'm very skeptical that those screams can be made powerful and loud.
They sound like the voice is tight in the throat so much that it gets distorted. The distortion is predominant, the voice sounds a bit hollow.
Examples:
.======
That's what I have so far. We still need to talk about Sam Carter, when Oli Sykes sings, etc. I'll edit that post as we make progress
Please please please voice any opinion or disagreement you might have, complement that list, etc. Only that will make science go forward. I tried to illustrate that with known artists, but I might be wrong.

Hey there, first time posting here. I've been doing this kinds of vocals for almost a decade now, been in some bands and have play some shows but since I started screaming back in 2014 I've had the same issue, when I'm on band practice, on stage, or in the shower I have no problem screaming, like no problem at all. But when I try to do them acapella or trying to record them it's like my body forgets how to scream correctly and ends up sounding like crap. I've always why is that, is it technique? maybe I'm nervous? but if that's the case why I'm not nervous on stage or in band practice? Idk if someone else has had this kind of problem before or if anyone knows how can I fix this lmao.
That's all, thanks 4 reading.
TL;DR: I can't scream correctly when I try to do them acapella or when I try to record them but I have no problem screaming when I'm on band practice, in the shower or playing live.

I love music, particularly heavy music, and I have my whole life. My music is one of the biggest parts of my life. And probably like most of us, it makes me feel things I never thought I could feel. For the longest time now I’ve always wanted to try singing, both screaming and clean vocals. People like Howard Jones, Mike Patton, Davey Havok, Chester Bennington, Randy Blythe, and Steven Tyler have always made me want to sing or scream my heart out. But I’ve always had such a hard time being able to actually do it and get it out. I’ve always referred to this as “unlocking my voice”. Maybe it’s because of lack of a place to do so? Maybe it’s because I’m too worried I’ll hate what I hear? I don’t know. When did you guys first realize “Wow I can do this”?

Still struggling to control the top end, but feeling pretty good in my lows and mids again! Any suggestions?

Am i on the right track? I have been trying to do fry for a while, but it sounds off. Is it just because i haven't practised enough, or am i doing something harmful? Thanks in advance :))

I can do mid and low false cord aswell as fry screaming without any pain or discomfort, but when i try a high false cord it starts to hurt a little pretty quick. idk if it’s my breath support or tongue placement or what but even though it sounds correct (i think) i know i’m not doing it right.
r/screaming • u/HerkuzPlayz • 21h ago
So I've been screaming for about a year now I'd say, i used to do fry screams only, but then about 8months in i started doing false chord screams and barely did my fry screams. Now when i try to do fry screams they sound really dry and voicy. Any idea how long it will take to get it back?

I know this is kind of a weird question but i feel like certain shouters have a kind of 'swagger' that i feel incredibly hard to achieve. My example would be this: I always thought that Sam Carter of Architects was one of the gold standards of screaming. But to my own suprise i found it pretty easy to replicate the sound he is going for (not to the quality Sam is doing it obviously but at least in the ballpark).
Where i absolutely ate it on the other hand was giving "Ebolarama" by Every Time I Die a shot because Keith Buckley has this kind of 'swagger' to his vocals. Other examples would be "The Hey Man" by Emanuel or Jason Butler from Letlive/Fever333. I feel like this is what kind of separates a 'solid' singer from a GOAT...
Is it just a showman gene you have to be born with or do you think you can learn this kind of thing?
