How To Scream: 4 Simple Steps for Complete Beginners

hey everyone its Doug I hope you're doing well in today's video what I'm actually going to be showing you is the basic fry scream sound how it's made how it's created and then towards the end of the video I'm going to show you a second screen sound which is more of the yelled forceful type screen alright so step one in the basic fry scream is closing the vocal calls like this huh and the reason we want to do that is actually because we don't want the sound to come from there like this like that not at all we want to go above it so imagine you're picking up something really heavy you go huh you've seen me demonstrate this before but yeah that's what we need to do alright cool so step two now we actually want to create the fry sound and it's like this look you can make it a bit lava just find that spot that's a really important part of the screen and where that is being created is actually above in the soft palate for me all right so step number three is actually to get the boxing bag the lot to bounce back and forth like this oh sure you heaving close up I know it's a bit crazy of an exercise but it's gonna be really important now what I actually want you to do is try and put that Fri sound from step two in the same spot that we just did the boxing bag bouncing back and forth sir so all the way up there it's called the soft palate up in the soft palate and then finally step four is actually combining all the steps ago all right so I'll just run through it again step one huh step two step three is actually putting the Fri sound up with the overlords bouncing back and forth and then finally we add the palace' but now would actually want to show you is this scream sound that you can get once you master the basic fry scream it's a more modern sounding raw scream it's really cool and I actually want this by hearing vocalists say that they get into this sound by getting a high belted note like ah just belting it out and then all of a sudden they actually push a little bit harder until the voice starts to get a bit gritty but for me once I learnt the basic fry scream I was able to combine the boots so I felt a really high tone and then add the added grit and scream fry sound from the basic fry scream so when I heard vocalists say that they get their loud screens down from just going to where they usually sing and pushing a little bit harder I actually thought okay if I try that and then add more of a basic fry scream on top of it what will that sound like and this is a result so I'll demonstrate now so if you're a guy watching this maybe you can't build up at that range yet so I'll just take it to it f-for Chuck and now I'll show you how to get this F for sound duck to B and then you just push it on top so what you actually do is duh and then keep flooring that fry sound up into the soft palate where the uvula was bouncing as you push on it like this dark dark and then to get it even more powerful you do it quickly and you just put it forcefully above it and in my experience the more correct you get the mechanisms that I've been talking about in the basic fry screen sound meaning vocal cords going like this huh getting the fry sound to go directly to the boxing bag with the ball is bouncing it back and forth you will feel much much better than if you're just yelling it on your throat now I will say this because it is very difficult to get the mechanisms working properly I would actually recommend you only to practice this five minutes a day because if you keep pushing on it and you probably will do it wrong you actually start to tear down the voice and you could even lose notes not necessarily forever maybe if you worked at a few years and you were doing it wrong but just say you went to sing just after you did the screen sound and you did it incorrectly you actually will experience loss of a few notes and just your voice not working smoothly so with that like I said five minutes a day and then after a while you can actually start to command it a bit like it just comes out a bit more naturally alright so that's it for today's video don't get too discouraged if it doesn't work straight away I would actually say this is one of the hardest things I've done in my voice just because I felt like being loud and doing those belted notes and then adding the screams just didn't come naturally to my voice at all it was something I had to do super logically so if you like me I hope that really helped you because this is exactly how I learnt the screen anyway guys make sure to leave a like subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you in the next video bye you
