This video is too advanced for me, I need the very basics of *how*-- BUT I'm glad I got to hear RED, I think the music in this video is awesome. And, the vocals are great. Totally representative of what I'm shooting for.
Well.... I've got my screams and all fine but I can't get my voice to sound as gritty as I would like when I'm singing regularly.... I'd like to try and sound gritty like say James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, and yes I'm honestly gonna say this.. Andy Biersack, just the part of getting my voice to sound kind of gritty though... and I don't want to smoke like they all have done soo... any tips?
I've been doing scream vocals for exactly 6 years and I have a very bad stamina when I perform on stage, I'm a very sporty person, I play sports and stuff to get fit. So what does that means? I just need tips on how to have stamina while screaming on stage.
Fits Fitserton not necessarily. I scream every day and after 3 years my singing range has actually increased and gotten stronger, and I don't eat differently then most people. Drinking caffeine before singing isn't a great and before screaming is a worse idea but it isn't super necessary depending on how you scream and how you sing. But, unlike Michael, I do false chord screams, which don't actually use your vocal chords and therefore don't affect singing.

People are saying this isn't worth watching... Yeah he isn't "teaching" screaming.. But for Someone like me how can already scream this is useful.. He's teaching you how to not blow out an fuck up your voice.. Pay attention kids
I've been doing a lot of research on fitness because I'm about to make a total body transformation. Tonight I'm looking up how to sing scream because I'm also a musician and I want that powerful voice I know I have somewhere within me. To hear this first video and see that the diet and exercise is crucial to developing my voice only makes it that much sweeter for me. I'm about to achieve two INCREDIBLY AWESOME THINGS!!!
This video was useful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I want to get started learning screaming. What are some exercises can I do to warm up before screaming? And how do I scream safely? Thank you.
Make sure you get some sleep, and eat well. There, now you don't need to watch the video since I've just summed up it's entire content. What a waste of time. I don't usually like to be rude in comments, but I'm trying to look for videos to help me learn how to sing more rock type songs, and it's crap like this that is wasting my time.
He gave tips on keeping hydrated after singing/screaming at a concert, so don't worry about protein bars and 3 bottles of water to repair the voice unless you were singing the night before at a concert.
What about the singers I know that don't take care of themselves at all but scream like crazy night after night, while smoking and drinking their buts off?
@jacobh849 Read back what u just said and realise that wasnt logical.. let me explain. Just because they don't take care of themselves and are good screamers, doesn't mean that if they did take care of themselves they wouldnt be even better screamers, or have an easier time learning to do it. I know you think its uncool to take care of your health because you're a hipster, but if you are healthy, its going to be easier and faster learning the right way to scream.
Im barely starting to scream to songs like Mudvayne, Slipknot, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, and after like 15 min of screaming what I've notice is that once i get to sing high notes my vocals starts messing up idk how exactly to say it but i doesn't sound clear any reasons why its happening?
Yeah, it seems like all the people on here seem to think that once they watch a UA-cam video of someone screaming, they will "magically" be able to do it. They will probably stop once they learn it can take months (or longer) to train your voice to scream like Michael Barnes, Jake Luhrs, Christian Alvestam etc.
Excess protein literally does nothing for you, it's just another expense. Eat as much protein as your body requires, no more, no less. I've studied the subject thoroughly.
Eat as much protein as your body weight? Wtf? I've done none of this and I've been a professional metal vocalist for the past 10+ years... This is more like a shameless plug of a rather average sounding nu metal band than good advice for anyone who wants to be successful as a metal vocalist.
How do you actually scream haha? I searched up "how to scream" and I saw michaels face just like.. "Alright who's the tough looking bald guy.. Wait. Wait just a freaking minute. No, no it can't be THAT'S FREAKING MICHAEL BARNES!"
@xCrystalXGaming What did u expect him to say? Stay up all night partying, drink loads of alcohol, smoke 10 packs a day, and get as much reflux as you can then you will be the best screamer ever? Unfortunately it doesn't work like that in the real world.
If you mean louder I don't think screaming is naturally that loud, its just the mic you use. I don't know though, I know Levi Benton from Miss May I said that his screams aren't that loud in a Hot Topic interview.
155 grams of protein a day!? I'm vegan so i'm already well aware of my protein intake but... how do you handle... the protein farts? Or does that just not happen to some people? Does your body adjust to that amount of protein eventually? Any tips for that?
how important is physical exercise? I'm tryng to get my voice student to do yoga- - in particular the yoga that really focuses on abs work- is this the rught approach
Okay so i can do some without any training at all. But after like a verse of damage im done for like two days. So is this how i can make it longer just double checking
Am I the only one who saw that this video was on giving tips? Also, he said this is just the tip of the iceberg and there is more to come aka technique.
Alec Fisher, you have to keep hydrated because you will get excess phlegm which makes it difficult to use all the registers when singing. Any singing coach or instructor will tell you to drink a lot of water, stay away from milk, chocolate, and caffeine. it is not surprising to hear in this video to drink a lot of water. That is singing 101.
I would recommend listening to this guy. Ignore any haters in the comments cause they don't get the point. But listen to this guy. He's a professional singer/screamer and his live performances easily shows how much he knows about this stuff. I just recently went to Rock the Universe and saw him.
I do high black metal screams. I drink soda and eat candy like every day. I can scream properly. But nobody do what I do. Follow this guys steps. If you are touring you will thank him later.
Very well said! So glad you are here on our channel! Don't miss everything on our website--we have amazing articles, more videos, and info about all that we have going on. Here is the link: singingsuccess.com
Thanks, Tore my voice and I'm trying to rebuild it for my band. This Channel and your coaching has helped! Also,make sure to check our channel out, were working on some songs, Solos, covers. - J from Skydiving Upwards
I was under the impression that screaming, especially in heavy metal, alternative and rock, was not usually screaming in the colloquial sense, but more of an illusion of screaming by making a much quieter sound (what you might imagine a pterodactyl to sound like) while making a face as though you were screaming. This makes more sense, given the strain and damage that actual screaming can have on the voice. I can't imagine someone having a very long career if they were actually screaming... That said, I imagine these "tips" are still pretty valid, but for all singers.
Hey bro I'm a drummer but I would like to do some background vocals and screaming but I dount know how to do it right and I dount know if my voice is good enough any tips or advise on starting up?
If you can drum heavily for a full song without breaking a sweat, then you're perfect to start background screaming while drumming. just take a few decent lessons and kepp healthy as fuck
Im new to this so sorry if youve already answered this question but, what i wanna know is how do i learn to build up to screaming cause when im singing high notes its sounds ok but its kinda quiet how do i fix that?
So I learned how to eat healthy and drink water and sleep enough and got a killer advertisement from a band I dont listen to. I love the internet and false advertisements.
LOL! So glad you are here on our channel! Don't miss everything on our website--we have amazing articles, more videos, and info about all that we have going on. Here is the link: singingsuccess.com
Michael is so talented.
That explains how he preserved his voice after 11 years of screaming and high notes.
"get as mutch sleep as possible"
watches this at night
True
I sometimes don't know how big touring bands do it when they have shows night after night.
Jc Nopal metalheads are nocturnal creatures..... 🤘😂
Jc Nopal meeee
I'm watching this at 2 am
you're so talented oh my god
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
This video is too advanced for me, I need the very basics of *how*-- BUT I'm glad I got to hear RED, I think the music in this video is awesome. And, the vocals are great. Totally representative of what I'm shooting for.
BRETT MANING'S SINGING AND SCREAMING SUCCES. FUCK YES.
FISH! BLESS!!!!!!!!
This is pretty much what I do for bodybuilding....
Sick I'ma start screaming as well
What should it feel like if i'm screaming correctly/incorrectly
Kill the Machine off their album "Until We Have Faces"
Well.... I've got my screams and all fine but I can't get my voice to sound as gritty as I would like when I'm singing regularly.... I'd like to try and sound gritty like say James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, and yes I'm honestly gonna say this.. Andy Biersack, just the part of getting my voice to sound kind of gritty though... and I don't want to smoke like they all have done soo... any tips?
I've been doing scream vocals for exactly 6 years and I have a very bad stamina when I perform on stage, I'm a very sporty person, I play sports and stuff to get fit. So what does that means? I just need tips on how to have stamina while screaming on stage.
Breathing exercises. Look up diaphragm stretching you could just be using too much air when you are performing
BREATHE INTO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Name of song
At first i thought he was telling me how to lead a healthy lifestyle ?
I do a lot of water.
what about wasabi peas?
He doesn't actually give an screaming tips, he just talks about his diet. Doesn't worth watching.
Shaddix Fuentes Yeah, I saw that right after I commented. ...Can't do anything now, can I?
sighisoaraa edit your comment duh
Still dont know how to scream lol
What's this singing or fakin dieting?!
watch the other parts ;)
So basically in order to scream you need to eat like.a bodybuilder. Got it!
Haha only if youre on the road touring and scream daily
Fits Fitserton not necessarily. I scream every day and after 3 years my singing range has actually increased and gotten stronger, and I don't eat differently then most people. Drinking caffeine before singing isn't a great and before screaming is a worse idea but it isn't super necessary depending on how you scream and how you sing. But, unlike Michael, I do false chord screams, which don't actually use your vocal chords and therefore don't affect singing.
is this a fitness video or a screaming video
more so a fitness video. because being healthy and making healthy choices helps you in preparation and performance.
Carl Arcilesi yeah maybe in a boy band lmao. Wtf happened to sex, drugs and rock n roll.
gorillas213 ok
gorillas213 not relevant in this day and age. For a time before our politically correct society. If you want a label, you gotta be a nice guy in the industry nowadays. “Badasses” just get made fun of: see 5FDP

This vid is crazy. I never knew this skill took such commitment. Lol I have to change the way I eat now
Whether you like them or not, he has amazing voice
Micheal is always awesome
Well, at least I've learned some really good diet
this video should be titled "How to Prep to scream"
Red is one of my very favorite bands ever
Michael Barnes is my idol.
Percy K Which song is that in this video in the start..?
Deepesh Varma Feed The Machine.
That song will always be my favorite! 😆💯
Samesies!
I came here to scream...Not to diet...
I can't believe this! I wanted to learn how to scream, and suddenly found out the lead from one of my favourite bands did a vid about it. Thanks Mike.
HOLYSHIT THTS REALLY YOU I AM URE GREATEST FAN
I bet Randy Blythe doesn't do any of that shit.
Some people can just do it no matter what, like in rugby some people just naturally know how to sidestep, i hate it, its unfair 😡

I'm going to learn how to do this before my birthday! xD
green and black tea are some of the worst things a singer can drink
This video was useful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I want to get started learning screaming. What are some exercises can I do to warm up before screaming? And how do I scream safely? Thank you.
I want to learn how to scream like Lacey from Flyleaf. any tips?
She does Inhale screams. Look them up they only take like an hour to learn
Just curious because I've never met a Vegan. What do you think of carnivore animals?
Make sure you get some sleep, and eat well. There, now you don't need to watch the video since I've just summed up it's entire content. What a waste of time. I don't usually like to be rude in comments, but I'm trying to look for videos to help me learn how to sing more rock type songs, and it's crap like this that is wasting my time.
awesome!!
You wanna talk about one of the most solid singers around nowadays, this guy is def on of them, he sounds spot on live
hi, i am an alto female.. and id like to learn to sing rock songs properly.. without hurting my throat, straining.. or if you have any tips..
Thank you
I may not have learned how to scream, but at least I now know some good lifestyle choices...I guess.
Not looking to scream...yet, but will these same tips help when learning to sing more melodic genres?
YAY from Red XD
Definitely a lot more complicated than I originally thought xD
He's basically giving the same tips to gain muscle. Not saying this is not useful though.
He gave tips on keeping hydrated after singing/screaming at a concert, so don't worry about protein bars and 3 bottles of water to repair the voice unless you were singing the night before at a concert.
What about the singers I know that don't take care of themselves at all but scream like crazy night after night, while smoking and drinking their buts off?
It's ok to eat fruits as well right? Apples bananas etc. and it's ok to eat salad? I'm not really much of a meat eater but I'm ok with turkey xD
@jacobh849 Read back what u just said and realise that wasnt logical.. let me explain.
Just because they don't take care of themselves and are good screamers, doesn't mean that if they did take care of themselves they wouldnt be even better screamers, or have an easier time learning to do it.

I think the high of screaming is connected with the high of voice, try to use higher register to scream the same notes...
Yeah, it seems like all the people on here seem to think that once they watch a UA-cam video of someone screaming, they will "magically" be able to do it. They will probably stop once they learn it can take months (or longer) to train your voice to scream like Michael Barnes, Jake Luhrs, Christian Alvestam etc.

I can scream fairly well, NY channel for proof. Growls are easy enough as well as mids but highs are the thing I cannot do yet..
How do you actually scream haha? I searched up "how to scream" and I saw michaels face just like.. "Alright who's the tough looking bald guy.. Wait. Wait just a freaking minute. No, no it can't be THAT'S FREAKING MICHAEL BARNES!"

hydrate you're vocal chords?... nothing contracts the vocal chords

misleading title how to scream what a joke.
@TopherBlairMusic i prefer Paul's screaming look moonkberry moon delight
Do you guys know a band called Needtobreathe and this song called Wash by the Water? Im trying to song like the singer lol any tips?
Lol?! Don't eat so much proteins man, crazy or wut? Amount as for mass diet. Youre going to have some serious gastral problems....
emmmmmmmmmmm .................. am i the only one who find him kinda cute :3
Yeah Im sure all rock & metal singers are health fanatics. "No autographs please! I need 8 hrs sleep for Cleveland"
Is this the same technique thath Tyler Joseph uses?
GIVE ME A FUCKING WARM-UP CAUSE I WANNA SCREAM LIKE YOUR KICKASS VIDEO ARRRGH!!!!!
Do a video on how to scream like Lennon in Twist and Shout? Damnit, if only he were alive to make one :(
I would recommend listening to this guy. Ignore any haters in the comments cause they don't get the point. But listen to this guy. He's a professional singer/screamer and his live performances easily shows how much he knows about this stuff. I just recently went to Rock the Universe and saw him.
I can assure you that without the proper care, your vocals wont last another 10years buddy...truth!
P.S: I would take his advice if I were you... He's a real pro....you only have 1 vid on youtube.
Next he's going to tell me to exercise everyday...oh wait I just got to that part of the video...
Sleep, Water, and Protein. End of video. :\
so this food you said to stay away and eat are really good for singers?
Id try this but my voice might still be changing
I do high black metal screams. I drink soda and eat candy like every day. I can scream properly. But nobody do what I do. Follow this guys steps. If you are touring you will thank him later.
Very well said! So glad you are here on our channel! Don't miss everything on our website--we have amazing articles, more videos, and info about all that we have going on. Here is the link: singingsuccess.com
whats funny is i just watched Feed The Machine and it made me want to know how to scream haha
Thanks, Tore my voice and I'm trying to rebuild it for my band. This Channel and your coaching has helped! Also,make sure to check our channel out, were working on some songs, Solos, covers. - J from Skydiving Upwards

I find if I open my mouth the widest and bare my teeth it gives a good high scream.
haha and people thought that metal guy is uneducated? hahaha this guy is pretty cool
Hey bro I'm a drummer but I would like to do some background vocals and screaming but I dount know how to do it right and I dount know if my voice is good enough any tips or advise on starting up?
If you can drum heavily for a full song without breaking a sweat, then you're perfect to start background screaming while drumming. just take a few decent lessons and kepp healthy as fuck
what if all carnivores just decided that their ways are obviously "immoral"....???
great.... with all those tips I just learned how to scream..... whatever....
If you're a singer, your body is your instrument. You need to look after it.
It feels as though some people forget most of the English language right :/
@a3axon lol, there live shows are kinda like that too, it's awesome :)
How do you "Fry scream" and "growl" like you do in feed the machine?
@TopherBlairMusic I agree! that's the rock scream I'm looking for too
Im new to this so sorry if youve already answered this question but, what i wanna know is how do i learn to build up to screaming cause when im singing high notes its sounds ok but its kinda quiet how do i fix that?
i have 4 sleeping issues... :( but im not gona let that stop me
isn't is too healthy for a heavy medal?
So I learned how to eat healthy and drink water and sleep enough and got a killer advertisement from a band I dont listen to. I love the internet and false advertisements.
