Rate My Screaming and Tips Please?

[cheesyman68]

Hey, I've only been trying to scream for about a week now, so can you give me some tips on how to improve please. Also, it was recorded on a blackberry, so doesn't sound too good to begin with

you probably need to record it on something alittle better than a blackberry to get better advice but it sounded like you were trying to be really quiet,almost like you were doing it in a library.try putting more power into it with your diaphragm

Hmm... wow. Trolling would be the easy route so I'll try to actually help you out.

What you need to do is realize that screaming will require power and there is a technique. You can't get there with whispering like that. What you need to do is use your diaphragm. The way to do that is simply breath into your stomach and then hold your breath. Now imagine you're taking a shit... what muscles are you using? Instead of letting shit come out of your ass, let the air come NATURALLY but slowly out of your mouth. Ironically enough... if you don't use your diaphragm it's shit that's coming out of your mouth also.

You will get a lower scream/grunt/growl if you let the air resonate below your Adam's apple and a high scream when the air resonates above your Adam's apple. If you are using the region that is your Adam's apple which are vocal chords, you will end up hurting yourself. Realize that this will take time. I've been doing it for 2 years and I can't make my low stuff to work all the time. There are times when that has happened though.

Start with the high scream as it is more important and usable. Do that creaky door sound with your upper throat. Sort of like in the movie "The Grudge". Raise that sound so that it's nasal. Then start adding air with the letter H until you get a nice balance. Now breath with your diaphragm.

REMEMBER NOT TO CRAP YOUR PANTS!!

Dude, if this guy isn't trolling himself (Which would be hard to believe), then no amount of advice is going to be better than our reaction.

Yeah, I'll stick to what we've been doing.

C'mon it's his first post. Dunno if he is serious or not. Anyways if someone's been screaming for a week without knowing how it's done, this is exactly what I'd expect it to sound like.

Yes this is a heavy metal forum and everyone's supposed to be all macho-macho-douchebag-i-hate-everyone but I don't want to be like that.

Living up to British stereotypes, are we?
