Whether you're singing, growling, breathing or talking, doing it from the diaphragm is always better for you.
Harsh Vocals.. A few Q's.

how do i know if it's coming from my diaphragm or not? i think i've got it but if it is then i've got a lot of work to do.
i know that i've got a lower than average lung capacity, if i growl from my throat i can only last 4-5 seconds before losing breath, but if i'm doing it from what i think is my diaphragm then i can't even get enough breath to even start the growl! surely this can't be right.

I try to do vocals like this, too, and what I noticed is: it's easier when you do it really loud
for example: if you wanna "sing" along to a CD, don't try to adjust your volume to the one of the CD-player, but sing really loud and adjust the CD-volume to YOUR volume (I have much less problems with thoat-hurting and such things doing it that way)
I hope you understand what I mean.....

I was the bassist for my band and we were looking for a vocalist. We were just messing around, and being the random crazy guy I am, I just screamed the loudest I could. My friends were baffled of my voice, and they asked me to be the vocalist. I can honestly say I am way better at singing than playing the bass by far.
I think that mics are VERY importand - after you get the techniques the guys mentioned above - you should find the mic that is suitable for your voice - I had many problems with that until I found that Shure SM58 fits best for my voice (it's dark growls a la early Moonspell) and of course the verb effects are very importand!!
Okay there goes another question...
I can sing "deep", like Ville from Sentenced and (Goth Forgive me) Valo from HIM, and with a little effort catch some moonspell-esque moments.
No major trouble on that end.
However there is where the shit starts, Im in a trash metal band, I discovered I can sound like Mille (kreator circa Violent Revolution, endorama) or Martin (Skyclad) with relative ease, however, I can always feel the stress on my throat, any tips for these more Trashy vocals? specially the higher screams?

toe much love!
some of you seem to have advice about equipment. i just recently started screaming too. i just discovered i could do it while i was at an in flames concert, surprised the hell out of me! i practice in the car now.
im a female, and interestingly enough, wages of sin is my favorite scream-along album.
people who know what they are talking about, please say more about gear for screamers!
