I can kind of scream if I feel like I push a little harder, and add a bit more throat. The only thing is there is a little discomfort, but doesnt affect my singing voice during or after. Also, if I do this and start to run out of breathe.. The scream turns into a constipated sounding person or a surfer.. But I usually dont.
This way of screaming, I find it near enough impossible to get a scream and hold it.. you know like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH". Just sounds gutteral.
If I try and scream entirely from the gut its either - really quiet or - a load of air comes out. If I try regulating how much air im pushing out of my gut, out of my mouth, it doesnt really make a difference.. its not like im just giving it an all out push. I think im doing it wrong somewhere.
Im gunna wait for this new ZOS to come out, I really cant get my head around how to scream.
Ill upload some files if it helps.
Thanks.

No you should never feel like you have to cough, get that tingly feeling ( I know what you mean)or feel any pain or discomfort. Youre pinching your larynx too much and just overblowing if you feel this. Be sure youre warming up at least for five minutes or more. I cant stress enough that normal singing and practicing is the best way to get in touch with how it feels to keep the larynx open and knowing just how little air you need for a good note. A scream is not much more air than normal once you can get the rasp, or "heat" as Melissa would say. Hopefully her new CD will be better.
