Description
Yell scream is probably one of the most intense and the most difficult extreme vocal techniques to master… Of course if you want to do it safe and avoid devastating your voice!
If you don’t care about the level of your technique and a “vocal hygiene”, doing a basic yell scream is not a big deal at all – you simply take a massive breath and then you produce the loudest and the most aggressive sound that you are able to spit out…
But if you do it that way, there is a very high probability – risk, that you will not only strain your voice (and make yourself forget what is a “comfort” when you do vocals in a matter of few weeks) but you are also creating a path of almost complete destruction of your voice (not mentioning massive headaches and dizziness that appear when you are yelling the sh*t out of your lungs).
It can last months or even years – the further from perfect is your yell scream technique the faster you will hurt your voice and it’s recovery can take from few weeks to few months. It’s not only a waste of your time and nerves but it simply harms your instrument – your voice, and it’s impossible to replace your vocal cords as you replace strings in your guitar.
That’s why it’s really important to begin the yell scream practice when you are more experienced vocalist/ screamer. “Experienced” means that you are able to produce even a basic, comfortable and repeatable fry scream or false chord growl/ scream and now you look for ways that can help you to increase the level of energy and intensity of your vocals!
The biggest difference between the yell scream and a “regular” fry/ false chord scream, at least in my opinion, is the amount of “clean voice” in the scream and volume – in yell scream it’s much higher than in “pure” fry/ false chord scream. Yell scream sounds more “organic”, closer to our natural sound color, but in a way more aggressive and angry “version”. Chester from Linkin Park and Corey Taylor are good examples of using yell scream.
There are also vocalists like Sam Carter and Joe Duplantier who are able to do so called “pitched screaming” – yelling with a chosen type of distortion (fry or false cord) and hitting specific notes with their screams.
In this free course I share with you technical information and exercises that will help you to master the yell scream using both fry and false cord distortion while avoiding straining your voice, headaches and other dangers behind the yell scream technique!
