How to metal scream like singers?
There are a few of ways of screaming/growling: The main two are Inward screaming and Outward screaming. Outward is when you scream out, and breathe out when you scream. Obviously inwards is breathing and screaming inwards, like you breathe in when you scream. Inwards is the hardest to do. The method of screaming I use, I'm not sure if it's an actual method, but it works for me. I use the croaky sound at the back of my throat to my advantage. To make the croaky sounds, close the front of your throat. Move the back of your throat up and down to achieve higher and lower pitches. There are a few methods of screaming: 1. Shout really loud, until your voice becomes like a scream. This may hurt your throat and/or damage your vocal chords if you do it too much. 2. Croaky method, mentioned above. This doesn't really hurt your throat, no idea what effects it may have in the long term though. I find it is easier to get a lower pitch if you use this method. 3. Inward screaming. This is kind of similar to the croak, but you breathe in while screaming instead, and open your throat. By doing this at a lower pitch, you may produce pig squeals. These methods of screaming cover most genres of metalcore and metal vocals. @Pearnom: WIN.
Singing tips: how to achieve a "raspy" vocal sound without actually straining your voice?
The vocal cords are your instrument, and singers learn to manipulate them by “tuning” them appropriately to hit the desired note. The voice has a physical range limit which can be exercised to an extent, but doing anything that the voice is not used to and not properly warmed up for can cause damage.To me, there is a difference between a “rasp” which is relaxing the cords and letting more air through, and “growl” which is the opposite.For a rasp, pressure is released and slack in the cords causes minor “skips” in the vibration to produce a breathy rasp sound in exchange for hard tone clarity which is pleasant when done properly, and can conserve the voice on high notes by releasing tightness on the vocal cords. A rasp may develop in a singer naturally due to overworking the voice or damaging it, and may be temporary or permanent.Macy Gray’s raspy “Forgiveness”.The example video you linked of Little Richard is the opposite of a relaxed rasp. We used to call that “grind” or “growl” or “gravel”. He is essentially “screaming” on a pitch. He’s hitting the note and then squeezing it harder with more air pressure behind it vocally to cause a controlled scream or growl tone. This is also a high level modern rock singer technique. When placed correctly, it can add flavor to a song and can protect the voice on the high note. Done incorrectly it’s like a blizzard of broken glass in your throat.Here’s a very good explanation of it. She uses a lot of specific terms in her teaching technique, but make sure you understand what she’s doing before trying it.Safely adding “grit” to singing.
How can I achieve great Thrash metal vocals?
I also sing/scream in a band, and I have been doing vocals for more than 10 years now (I'm 24). Basically, relax. Don't use as much force as you think you will need. The actual "scream" is more of an illusion than anything. It's a whisper with balls and some extra grit behind it. Start with a whisper, and then push a little harder and tighten your vocal chords, but keep them loose as the same time (kind of confusing, but once you get it, you'll understand). You can let the mic do most of the work for you. Turn it up good and loud so you don't have to push to get a nice mean, powerful sound. This will save your chords from damage and keep you able to keep going. This is especially important if you sing also like me. Watch the "Zen of Screaming" video series. Those help if you are new to the whole thing. It took me a while to get the hang of it. Oh, and one more thing. Look into buying a compressor. It will help immensely with the technique. It brings low-level vocals up and makes them sound more powerful, while still keeping the sound of your natural voice. I own a DBX myself.
How do you get a raspy singing voice?
Let's get this out of the way right now...rasp or growl can damage the vocal cords, even to the point of requiring surgery. In order to make a raspy sound, the cords have to change the way they function to cope with friction and forced air pressure.Does this mean you should never use growl or rasp? No. But understand that a little of this goes a long way. In fact, overusing rasp, screaming or growling reduces their emotional power because the listener gets used to them. Put some in occasionally and the effect is much stronger."But" (I hear you say) "What about Bob Dylan, Janice Joplin and Louis Armstrong. They are known for their rough raspy sound, and they never had problems." O yes they did. Vocal damage affected all of their voices throughout their careers. You simply cannot continuously push raspy sound through your vocal cords without damaging them.So, you want some rasp in your singing. What to do?1. Always warm up before singing. If you don't have a private teacher there are many recorded warmups available for download, including mine. Do not use songs as your warmup. Daily use of the warmup will go a long way toward easing vocal damage.2. Pick the places in songs where you want the rasp, where it will be the most effective. Use it sparingly. You don't need to stop using it or be afraid of it. Just be smart.3. Drink a lot of water during the day. This will produce lubrication for the vocal cords to function both in normal singing and in singing rasp. Understand that the water you drink during a performance or rehearsal will keep your throat more relaxed and comfortable, but does nothing for the vocal cords (anything we swallow never goes to the vocal cords. If it did, we would choke). You need to be hydrating hours before a performanceWatch this video for more:Source: Relationship Talk Forum
