my tips on screaming vocals
12 years ago
I was going to make a video on this but I can't at the moment until I have time to myself. Because making a video about screaming anywhere else but my car (there's awkward angles in the car, too hard to make a video in there) would not be good, so I'll make one when every one else is out of the house.
But in the meantime, I should tell you how to practice, warm up, and rest your voice.
I start out before recording my having a snack. I find that it helps my voice get started in the ,morning. Peanut butter helps a lot.. Don't really know why but it does. Then I bring some room temp water into my studio (car) and I start singing. Yes, singing because i find it helps my voice get a kick start into being prepared to let out some brootal vocals. I like to sing to something with wide ranges, like owl city, that starts out with a low voice and then goes higher, forcing you prepare and then use your diaphragm, just like stretches before exercising. Then when I'm done singing, I pick a song to do, and start out listening to the song, getting the feel of it, knowing what range i should scream in before hitting record. Then when I'm ready, I hit record from the beginning.
When I scream, I like tighten the muscles in my stomach area (diaphragm) and kind of tighten my throat like I'm yawning, but I don't yawn. For the highs, I make my voice like I'm trying to talk like Elmo and just push the air out with my diaphragm.
Then when I'm done, I just drink water and have peanut butter lol.
Your throat shouldn't hurt if you do it right
