My Tips for Screaming
1. Warm up
This is such a crucial thing when it comes to screaming. The reason why this is so crucial is because if you don’t, you can cause a lot of wear and tear to your vocal chords that are just not needed. Spend some time humming, or singing a song you enjoy. I know for me what I do is humm and sing songs to loosen everything up and then from there I just make sure I’ve hydrated my vocals. Hydration is something we will touch on here in a bit. Once you’ve spent about 10 mins or so, I recommend starting with tiny growls in a nice pace repetitive manner, and then slowly build your way into more pressure with your diaphragm and then project more powerful growls. From there, branch off into other methods of screaming. Whether that be tunnel throat, frys, false chord, you name it. Warm up please. You won’t regret it.
2. Hydrate
The reason for this popping up on the list is because it’s so crucial. You cannot scream with good quality for elongated periods of time with hydration. If you do, you’re going to cause some wear and tear, and at worst case scenarios, loss of voice and possible bleeding, if you scream harshly using your throat and not your diaphragm. Now don’t drink to much at once because then while your performing you may through up from moving around all over the place due to maybe some stage adrenaline. Be moderate in everything you, including this. The only thing I’ll ever recommend is Water. Lukewarm water. And possibly tea, maybe.
3. Learn your Scream
Everyone has a different voice, and in a lot of cases, the same can go for their screams. While some people may be able to do the technique someone else can do, there is no guarantee you’ll be able to do it, and that’s okay. Be you, find your voice! It took my a long time to realize what I was best at was doing deathcore style vocals. Not to mention, I still try to push myself to learn other techniques, such as tunnel throat, aka, what CJ McCreery as well as Dickie Allen. Find your voice and never give up in doing that.
4. Be Safe and Practice, Practice, and Practice some more
You cannot get better at something unless you continue to practice. Practice makes perfect could never be a more honest statement. I’ve been screaming for 8 years now and I’ve learned so much, even to this day. However, I’ve learned to pursue daily practice at a safe and moderate pace, and I suggest you do the same. It’s very easy to get frustrated when you don’t hit a certain sound or technique that you’re going for, but don’t let that get the best of you. Take a break for 15 mins and try again. Know what you can be pushed to, but also know your boundaries. I’d rather you not lose your voice.
Thank you for reading this! Please share it to help other people out who may be having some issues with screaming and maybe this will help them out! If you have any questions, please, feel free to message me! Have a good day, my dudes!
