How do I Scream. death grow, the works, without damaging my voice?
Screamo is something that takes a lot of practice. The first step is actually knowing what your doing.
I can teach you to scream amazingly for sure... just follow my tips/advice and I bet you'll do just fine -
First off, there's more to it than just screaming. You have to know HOW to do it and what things to do... or else you'll fck up your vocal cords and sht. That wouldn't be too fun now would it?
Screamo sounds really awesome when done right. My advice to you is just practice. You won't sound EXACTLY like the bands who do screamo. Everybody who does screamo has their own unique sound. Just try to start out by testing different sounds and such... low, loud, in between. Each should have a different sound. DON'T PUSH YOURSELF. If your throat starts hurting or your voice starts slipping STOP. Don't risk hurting your vocal chords. Keep a drink like water, gatorade or whatever you drink, handy that way you can get a drink in between screaming. This is an important thing to do to keep your vocal chords moist, that way your vocals chords don't start getting dry. Be sure to take breaks from it too. Don't keep practicing 24/7. Get a drink before you start, in between during your breaks from screaming and after you've finished for the day/night. Don't try to be something your not either. If you don't get it, don't worry. Maybe you will some other time. Practice for a half hour or an hour and then stop for the time being and maybe try again later that night for another half hour or so. Be sure to take a few 10 minute breaks or so in between your practicing times too as I said before.
Just follow my advice and you should be fine. But like I said... if it hurts... STOP. Don't ever push yourself or else you'll cause damage to your throat/vocal cords and then you'll really be wishin you hadn't of pushed it huh?
Ignore the dumbas*es who just say stuff like "uhhh... just scream" or "start by hating your life". Screamo has nothing to do with hating your life. And there's WAY more to it than just screaming.
I think that about covers things. If after all this, you still can't do it, or it causes pain. Give it up. Your voice/throat just isn't cut out for screamo and if you keep it up, you could end up causing serious damage to your throat/vocal chords. Also, if you need anything else regarding this or something... don't be afraid to ask me because I'm very good when it comes to stuff like this haha
Well dude, xxthea7xparadexx knows his stuff. BUT, there is a lot he left out. For example, there's a difference between inhales and exhales. Exhales are usually easier for people. If you know anyone that knows how to scream, ask them for advice so they can show you in person. Watch a lot of voice-coach videos and if you can't get it on your own, I suggest you meet up with a voice-coach that can teach you techniques and such. I honestly believe that nearly every single, healthy, human being is able to scream or squeal.
One random night, I was listening to some grindcore and decided that I wanted to give pig squealing a try cause it sounded pretty awesome. I went online, searched "how to pig squeal" and within' the hour, I learned my vowels in high and low pitches. From the people I have met in person here in my town that claim to pig squeal, I'm honestly the best at it when you compare pitch, depth, length, and range. There's not much to an inhale, pig squeal. Good luck, bro.. I need to go poop.
...too* high picted? go well* with the music? A lot of metal bands have been out there for a while and their vocalists are done the "job" for twenty or more years...
you cant...or else it will sound to high pitched...it wont go good with the music...
I can already inhale, I actually find that a lot easier.
