[QUOTE=danny10125]yea this is an old thread, but just in case anyones still looking at it....
I was wondering how I should try to sing slipknot music by screaming. should i start with something easier first? thanks[/QUOTE]

This is actually now one of the most active voice threads now. Thanks to yours truly... Just kidding. But it is very active.

Can you scream well now? Its all the same technique wise. You get the raspy sound of the back of your throat. not the cords. Thats why these guys can go do it day in and day out. Plus you dont have to push as hard as people think, or as hard as it sounds. thats what mics are for. But There are a few things you should be aware of. Go check out my voicehelp hotline sticky.

be sure you arent making the age old mistake of squeezing the throat as youre trying to add pressure. Otherwise youre just gonna have to build up strength over time. And practice mid voice loud "hah" 's but be sure youre clamping down on the cords to get a clean vowel sound in the middle of the H sandwich. sound. hah's and the H's help build strength because you have to close down on the air that is already passing through. It will take time. Dont over due it and be sure to warm down.

then you might want to mosey on over to my voicehelp hotline sticky.

Argh
 

alright.. I have read through loads of threads, been practicing, getting good for a while,.. but now I've reached a point where.. no matter how I try to vary my technique it's always hurting. so can anyone who knows better tell me what I should do. I'm cosidering just starting from scratch so I don't mal-learn.. anyone care to give me a quick run through of what i should do ..technique wise. (and please do not give a link to a thread where I'll have to sift through tonns of posts to get scraps of useful info)

Would be much appreciated ..really :smoke:

well you should stop first of all.
you may need to take a few days if not week or two off.

Try to get a sample up, that might help.

Do lots of e's at normal pitches and speaking push. And do glisses up and down. Dont do any serious pushing if youre hurting that much. Maybe get to an ENT doctor if you can.
Gotta get to work myself. ....peace

Don't suppose anyone has any pointers on how to get a Chester Bennington scream(like on One Step Closer)? I can sing almost all of his Linkin Park/Grey Daze stuff, but I can't quite pull off that great scream of his. My voice is a bit deeper(abit closer to Jeff Gutt of Dry Cell), but I can still pull off 90% of Chester's stuff with relative ease. Closer to 100% on a good day. All I need is a good scream and I'll be that much better of a frontman for my band. We really wanna incorporate more screaming for effect but my bassist is slightly better than me at it, but he don't sound too good either, so it's kinda in vain. A few good screams from me will create such a better feel for our already good tunes. If anyone can help me out here, it would be appreciated.

scream?
 

I'm not sure if this is the right way to scream but someone tell me please...i go quiet like ALMOST a whisper and push extra air out and add a little sound...it doesnt hurt and through a mic it sounds ok i guess..is that right?

and btw how do you scream like Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes/Desaparecidos?

someone respond please


edit: a scream like Conor in the song Greater Omaha by Desaparecidos

For one you have to have a nice range. and strength throughout it. Chester does. This means you can reach up for a higher tone in those raspy falsetto type screams. If you can do close to 100 on a good day, then what are you asking? how to get better at it , and how to get it is just work. And read these forums. You could have one of the common flaws thats limiting you. [url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219911[/url]

Got a sample? its gonna sound weak if youre not supporting it like youre singing. Thats why i always say start off like youre singing. But you could get a good scream if you had the right breath control. some people call it a whisper scream but usually they sound like a whisper scream and not a scream scream. So hopefully youre doing it well.

Anyone know how to scream like Dani from Cradle of Filth? Please respond

HAsnt this question been asked like last week? Its the same thing. Theres not many things you can do with your cords. For one you have to have strong enough cords. Go to Merkabas voicehelp hotline Sticky. Its all there.

Well I can SING 90-100% of the stuff he SINGS, but when the screams come I cant
pull em off. For instance, I can sing One Step closer pretty easily, until the part when he screams "Shut up" comes, I just sound like im still singing, only abit louder and somewhat deeper. I tried the technique at the beginning of this thread but it's just not a very good/nor similar sound. I'm not sure how to PHYSICALLY scream like him, I'm positive my voice is strong enough, I just don't know how to physically do it. An explanation on that would be great.

some help here would be really appreciated.....

Have you checked out the voichelp hotline? go to my samples and see if it helps. you have to learn to shift the throat muscles while keeping everything relaxed and open.

That's called growling, it's mostly rasp.

What would you guys say about a... how do I put this... a reverse scream? I may have missed it, considering the fact that I'll take a pineapple enema before I read 25 pages straight of stuff. Anyways the singer in my band sounds like frackin banchee when he does it. He sucks in air past his vocal chords to do it. Does anyone have any pointers or cautions for this? He already swallowed several bugs doing this. F'in classic.

Well...i assume i'm not doing it correctly...cos even though i'm using your technique...i lose my voice after just a few minutes...my throat doesn't hurt...but i lose my voice...*shrugs*

Any idea on how to do a showbread type scream? Like from their song Mouth Like A Magazine...([url]http://showbread.net[/url])

Ok, im a happy camper. I been practicing the technique from the first page of the thread and it's finally paying off. I'm developing a really cool scream, it's a little darker/deeper than Chester's but still very cool and powerful without feeling at all like a grunt. It's definitely closer to Chester's than Slipknot's and I'm very happy with it. It's quite original. Now I just need to build up some strength in it and I'll be set. Thanks to all who helped me(the muscle shifting helped abit too, thanks man).

Anyone want to help me figure out how Rob Halford does those awesome screams?

Oh hey.

I'm really looking for some good tips and whatnot to improve my voice, had I read this whole thing I may have found close to what I need but I don't have the time.

Anyways, I wanna know how I can get a Kurt Cobain, Phil Tayler (Future Leaders Of The World) type of higher pitched and raspy scream. I also would like to know just how to make my voice "raspy". Another thing I'm curious about is the type of scream done by Breaking Benjamin. Please email me with any tips or anything, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.
