How do I sing screamo?

me and my friends are starting a band and well I want and need to scream for it because im the lead singer does anyone at all know how to do screamo and could help me like just tell me how to position my voice please

Well, first you're going to want to look into bands of that genre. You're looking at bands like Finch, Glassjaw, Underoath, I Am Ghost, Thrice, Poison The Well, The Used, etc. What this should tell you is that screamo isn't all screaming, that there are some points where the lyrics are clean (or softly spoken). However, when you do scream, you want to make sure you're not screaming through your throat because that's a good way to get injured (believe it or not, you can get injured from screaming too long too loud; M. Shadows had that happen to him and it's almost ended his career). When you scream, you want to bring it from your stomach (or diaphram if you're looking for proper terms) so that when you sing, your stomach should move inwards rather than outwards.

okay heres the deal you cant just learn it has to come to you man..

you scream!

Hey man im in the same situation im a lead singer of my brand(we dont have a name yet but its either going to be 'Silent suicide''Blood Rain' or 'Behind these empty walls')anyway I can scream alittle but I gotta get better but you have to scream from your chest not your throat and if you scream from your throat you have to chance to have them surgicly removed and ull never scream...make sure your chest is going in when you scream and your putting your heart in it you also need to excersice your voice drink lots of water and dont scream to much if your throat starts hurting you need to stop for a while(maybe a day) thats all I can realy say just dont get yourself hurt

I am one of the lead singers for my band what you do you take a deep breath & do like a growl as you scream but what ever you do don't drink water as soon as you do it that will damage youre vocal cords & youl end up sounding like Axl Rose all youre life.

Exp: I want to sing 'What it is to burn' so... I try to scream like Nate... very hard by the way =). But I have an a low voice... I can make a good screamo growl, but, how can I do to sing like that =S I mind not in the same way... But something like that...

Well their is differnt types. you have to figure out what kind you want to do. you can roar, yell, or just reguler screaming. look into bless the fall. they do all 3 in most of their song. if you practice enough your vocals will get used to it. Im the lead guitar/ screamer in my band. its easy when you get the hang of it.

a shhit I want to scream too... I dont think I get the hand of all that sing from your stomache issue... though I've never practiced... not much... maybe if I practice more? hell I dont know... if I dont manage to scream I can always let my solos do all the singing hehehe but seriously man. I NEED TO SCREAM!

Remember when your mom wouldn't let you go to the mall with your sisters eye liner and nail polish on and you had that temper tantrum? Yeah, just do that again.

k so I just tried screaming tody, and now I can sing screamo. so first scream like you wud normally, then deepen it, then make it come from your diaphram, then start to try sing some screamo songs from the top of your head

start with wispering screaming to a song.
than through out time. become louder. and louder. and you'll slowly train your voice to do it.
I a girl, and it was easier than I thought.!

but that sounded like Stuart from MadTV

Im female... And Im the 'front woman' to my band solviem.. and I jsut scream.. from the bottom of my lungs (it ffeels like that any way) but it works realy well... I've never drank that much.. and never hurt myself in the three years I've been in pratise.. but it probably is a good idea to drink a fair bit..
