how to "scream" thread

[Goober]

While there are endless how to growl threads......i want to learn how to scream (eg: Devin townsend style) i can do some black metal vocals, is the screaming technique situated around black metal vocals?

 

[Necromantic-Hiko]

black metal, melo-death, metalcore, post-hardcore....




granted, black metal and melo-death screams are different than post-hardcore and metalcore screams...most of the time...

Become Dan Swano. Then you can do anything with your voice.

 

[BRI]

Dan Swano can't scream.

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

just have someone grab your balls

i thought that was for Falsetto...??.....o well ........as for growlig....DT style....Hmmm......make sure ure well hydrated...and then use the moisture in ure throat to sort of gargle...but instead try to make a soudn witgh ure gargling...!!!!.....this is teh safe way to do it...its also less harmful to teh vocal chords...!!!....good luck....!!!........PEAC EOUT

 

[Goober]

funny stuff guys lol. But seriously, when i look in the mirror, i just kinda let out a squeel...doesnt really sound like a scream....maybe i should look in the mirror AND let someone grab my balls at the same time?

look in the mirror

When I tried that the mirror broke.

Hmmm...

 

[Powers]

Dan Swano can't scream.

Oh I'm sure he can.

 

[JoeVice]

When I tried that the mirror broke.

Hmmm...

well shit...thats bad luck...and a broken mirror

but, did you scream well?

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

Oh I'm sure he can.

No really, He can't. I read about it. Well I mean, he can scream.. but he can't go on tour like that, he can't maintain his screaming voice for a long period of time.

 

[Powers]

No really, He can't. I read about it. Well I mean, he can scream.. but he can't go on tour like that, he can't maintain his screaming voice for a long period of time.

Oh man you're right. I read exactly the same article, damn where was that, it may have just been Wikipedia or something.

Sorry, didn't mean to doubt.

*note to Goober: Do not become Dan Swano*

 

[Larsson]

well shit...thats bad luck...and a broken mirror

but, did you scream well?

It was the mirror that screamed.

 

[JoeVice]

It was the mirror that screamed.

ha, oh no!!! well, at least it was kind enough to show you why it was screaming. thats an honest mirror.

 

[Goober]

Ok guys, it was fun with the jokes. But now i actually kind of want to know how you scream like, Strapping young lad style.

 

[Darkhammer]

its impossible, townsend is the only one that can do that

 

[Powers]

This lad's argument is true.

Only Dev sounds like Dev.
