Use the diaphragm rather than your throat, or else you'll fuck up your voice. I have been told whiskey and coffee might give some raspiness to your voice if used regurarly (also tobacco too, but I wouldn't recommend smoking to anyone).

Btw, in the future all threads not related to Cob should go to the Off-Topic section.

Absolutely correct.

Smoke and some drinks should be avoided, and not only for one's health but for singing too.

thanks for the advice again. So do i tense my diaphragm up, and sing without trying to make my throat growl, or does there need to be a little bit of growl somewhere in my throat? Sorry, this is the first time i've tried it, and I don't wanna fuck it up.

I use my throat to give the growl a bit of a tough sound, but I mainly use my diaphragm.
However, I don't know how to do alexi screams without hurting my throat

Practice, practice, practice, and a shitload of practice.


Alexi's vocal style is the easiest to do (for me anyways). I always just sang along to Bodom songs using only the words "Yow," until I learned how to accentuate the words correctly. Then I perfected my own vocal style (a bit of a mix between bay area thrash and norweigian black metal) which I use for my band. Beer, soda, or almost any sugary substance helps a lot.

Oh...and practice in a car or where there's absolutely NO ONE around. I've scared more than a few people.

If it's that "core" or "scene" scream sound ye're after, I personally find after drinking heavily, a forced dry-heave (fingers down throat for the fucking ignorant ingrates) always produces spot-on results!

Me too, only I do it to Stuff like Scissor Sisters.

Also drink plenty of coolers!
