Screaming Metal (sorry Joe....)

I'm trying to start metal screaming, but it's alot harder than you think. At first, you gotta sing (easy huh?). Then make you voice heavier and heavier sounding until you sound like krusty the clown. Then you pretty much keep doing that until you can barely even hear the pitch anymore. Its alot harder than it sounds. If you've tried it or try it now, you'll realize that. But I'm trying to do it. I've heard it's not supposed to hurt, or your doing it wrong. But you always have to keep hydrated otherwise you can really damage your throat. I'm gonna work on it all this year and probably for the rest of my life. If you want to know more, ask questions about this.

Ya you definitly need A LOT of water. The singer for AILD was drinking tons. (Plus it was really hot in the venue so...)

But Jeff, all I can say is keep practicing and practicing. Your voice will adapt.

does your talking voice change when you scream?
I dont want you to ruin your voice forever just for some garage band (maybe more) screaming sessions

hey christian and val look at this

w00t!!!!! AILD and flyleaf! and skillet? what the..... Oh well. I will check it out, and I think my parents will let me go.

Aww.... My parents are not really wanting me to go.

oh you should convince em and take me

invite me

HOLY SHIT!!!!! I DID IT!!!!! Yes. I now know how to inhale scream (thats lame though) and FRY scream. Unfortunately, fry screaming is not nearly as cool as false screaming. Fry screaming is what bullet for my valentine, atreyu, blessthefall, and alot more bands use. Its not what you'd think its like. You know in the grudge, that grumbly sound? Its like that but falsetto version. ALOT harder than it sounds. It took me all day to figure it out. Its pretty cool though. If I show you it at school tomorrow though, it sounds really gayyyyyy w/o a mic. Its generally really quite, thats why people who scream like that cup the mic and have it really close to there mouth. Unfortunately, it sounds nothing like some of the screams I was looking for. The "false" screams are based off of just making your voice heavier. Wait, JK, thats death screaming. That kills your voice and I can do that kinda. You just need to be hydrated and kinda have your throat slimy (yea, that sounds gross, but u know what I mean). I learned how to do that but it does hurt. And it sounds almost exactly like false. False is based on using different parts of your throat and mouth (NOT your vocal chords necessarily) to produce a scream. Haven't quite figured it out yet, but if I get a chance, I will do that. But until then, fry screaming is pretty cool and IM SO HAPPYYY!!!!

k have fun im not a screamer. =P

lol, that will be my job then. jeez, ever since I learned, ive liked and respected screaming bands alot more. btw, screaming DOES NOT hurt your voice. If it does, your doing it wrong.

GRGRGRGRGR

another double post. anyways, if anyone is interested in learning i can teach you in probs like 5 mins or w/e. still dont know why matt is reluctant to do so. saying "eh" everytime i ask why doesnt help either. plz respond here s'il vous plait

i dont know fo sure but i think its just that he doesnt really listen to that music. Maybe im projecting, sry. Its just that if he doesnt listen to it mebe he'd be less inclined to do it?

except he wants to do songs with screaming in them even if its only for like 10 secs of whatever. so, mind as well learn it and u can apply it to singing with dirt or grit or whatever you want to call it and i know he wants to do that so yea...

I think Joe is correct. Matt doesn't like it, so I doubt he will do it.

Teacher wouldn't let me play AILD during class for my project

LOL she handed it back today, I got 10/10 but she asked if it was appropriate. I said... well they don't talk about girls in a bad way, are not antichrist, and a bunch of other stuff. She is like: "....K...."

And rhett got 9/10. And he called her a racist, and she got all pissed, so I said well I got 10 points cause im white right? LOLLLLLLZ I GOT TEH GLARES! And then rhett and I highfived. and it was a forehand highfive, and it was loud as tits. I mean that shit hurt. And the class was silent. Fuck yes!
