Post by: Ookami Kokoro on July 12, 2010, 06:08:49 AM

I'm in a screamo/metal band and I can scream sorta, but I really need help. Anyone out there have any tips or advice on screaming?

Please and Thank You :D

Dont destroy your voice; if it sounds or feels wrong, stop directly!
Never scream from the throat, make it come from the chest, kinda.

But i guess you already knew that? :P

never think of your dignity while you scream a dignified scream never sounds dignified

^ same with all music XD

don't over do it like these guys ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rchK4aFio8U



i don't have any advice. my only experience is just shouting really loud in a punk band which kinda counts but not really. let us know if you ever record so we can hear!

Maybe you have a phobia you could use to your advantage? Like fears of venomous spiders and snakes?

I looked this up when my friend offered me a spot in a punk band. I didnt do it cause I sing not scream.

PRACTICE, EVEN IF YOU SUCK.
Make sure the noise comes from your nasal cavity or chest, not throat.
Drink water.
Warm up singing.
Make noises first, like Marge Simpson voice.
Have CONFIDENCE(why I cant scream)
When you've damaged your voice(we all do it) speak normal, dont shout dont whisper.

You can start a post-hardcore band which is the same instrument except littlscreaming

Wish I could link you.

When I first started singing screamo, I ran into a problem while trying to emulate Lamb of God. My friend suggested sucking in my breath while screaming.

Me and my cousin used to always death growl and do some screaming when we were in deathcore bands. I find that drinking water all the time before singing works wonders. And it's either exhaling or inhaling that can cause some lung issues.
