This is the vocal Jesus. What an intelligent person, really shows me how much I don’t know about screaming
appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏽
I know I just got pissed off at the gym watching this like great, I'm further behind than I though 🙃
if singing wasn't already enough of a tightrope walk, screaming/distortion is like tip toeing on cheese wire lol
And then Joe Duplantier does it while playing progressive death metal on guitar. Like ... how?
@@JacobNates his technique either isn't too complex or its not very good. I know in the studio he uses a bad technique but live shit is still a question.
@@JacobNates was just listening to Fortitude, dude is fucking insane, even their arguably "worse" or "lighter" albums are amazing, I've loved every single thing I've heard by them, I have no idea how Joe gets the sound he does with his vocals, he screams in key, and his vocal preservation is insane for the techniques he uses
@@JacobNates progressive groove metal, prog death has less micro-repetition and more macro-repetion as well as more subdivision extrapolation and a harmony remeniscent of modern classical music.

I didn't realize SpongeBob was a metal vocal coach
Devin Townsend singing dead head acoustic , studio, or live.. he hits that pitch scream so nice👌
You’re an incredible teacher, David. Thank you.
Thank you for watching! We hope you found this helpful 😊
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute i have a question. How do you do the gurgle/burp like sound like cattle decapitation, disfiguring the godess, etc
Hearing Rory Rodriguez's voice made me want to sing and scream at the same time. That technique just sounds so powerful.
Dyseeker is one of most underrated bands. Rory is amazing
I appreciate your emphasis on the need for consistency in order to GET consistency. Patience and persistence are simply a part of the journey. Such great advice. Thank u!!!
I’ve grown to love you. Whenever I’m warming up for the studio or a live show, I come back to your videos for advice on technique and warm ups. I wish there was some way I could show you how much your videos mean to me.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen
Please do a video on high, piercing screams. Not a lot of credible or helpful tutorials out there but I bet you would be the best at it. Love these vids man.
Man I used to do that kind of screaming like 10 years ago, and now I forgot how 😭
Just learn to fry scream in your falsetto range and mess with mouth shape and tongue placement

That IPhone 1 quality
Howdy. Learn head space pig squeals, then transition it into a high fry. I used to do that in my old band and it sounded pretty cool. Also trying to relearn them like 15 years later lol
Great video.like how you encorportated the scale into the screams. Look forward to trying these scales. Thanks for the info.
You give so much detail and information that's really vital to beginners like me. When I first started I was tearing up my throat following along with the instructional videos available at the time. Few years later and you're here and I'm doing things I never thought I could after simply watching a couple of your videos. You're fucking awesome!! Thank you!
So glad you’re enjoying the content! 😁
You are such a good teacher. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much I have not come across anything as helpful as your videos on vocals for metal
Glad you find them useful! Thanks for watching! 🤘
Dude you're such a great teacher
Thank you David. I have a show coming up soon, where I'll be doing some screaming. Needed to hear some of this!
Congrats on 70K!
Lovely lessons! Thank you so much
Super pumped for more content! I'd love to see an even deeper dive into this particular topic! Ive been working towards this for awhile and im kinda of stuck in a particular spot and im not sure how to get out!
Thanks for watching! We definitely plan on doing more videos on this topic since it is such a popular sound in modern music 😊
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute can't wait! Thanks again!
Congrats on 70k!! And well deserved, I hope your channek continues to grow. You have been the greatest edition to guiding scream vocals since Melissa Cross. You are a master in your teachings. It's been great to watch and follow your journey over the years! Thank you #EVI
7:26 and 7:29 my mans turned into SpongeBob
He spent years mastering the Sponge bob voice
You having a softspoken and pleasent voice was a real kick in the nuts when you were demonstrating the different scream techniques XD The contrast was wild haha
Thank you so, so much for this explanation! Best of to you an and yours, this answers so many questions, thank you ✨
Periphery - Satelites! The damn vocalist is incredible 5:20 into the song really shows off the guys vocal abilitys! i never knew a male could scream at that high of a pitch literally made me search to find out what its called and here i am hahaha
hit a G5! Spencer is an amazing vocalist, it's really cool he's inspired you to learn :)
Spencer inspire me to learn more about screams too. Daniel Tompkins too
Spencer is somewhere between a high tenor and a light mid tenor so screaming at a g5 with proper technique would be similar to a mezzo soprano screaming at that pitch. Lacey from flyleaf was great at this.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
I had such a key moment - thank you so much 🫡 best regards from Germany
You're heaven sent my bro. Keep us trained 🤘
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The best too you boss!
Just discovered your videos and its super helpful!
I was learning to scream from several years ago, and just managed to do it just 2 month ago. Idk why but somehow til now I only managed to do this pitched screaming and cant quite get the sound i wanted for another types of screams lol. Maybe its because im learning by singing BMTH's Sempiternal album all the time lol 🤣 still trying to improve tho.
Btw thanks for your videos, I finally found my false chord after a long time trying to push into the wrong places and end up hurting my throat 🤣 please keep this up because this is a really good content!
Dude, I love how you explain the concepts, that was exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the nice work! :)
Also, in the topic of pithed Screams, could you analyze Josh Middleton's from Sylosis? He has a very unique way to scream in pitch
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you found the information useful. We can definitely look into what he’s doing and talk about it in a future video 😊
Extreme Vocal Institute I second this! Please do josh Middleton from sylosis!
yeah please do josh middleton from sylosis
@@noobmaster8155 Can you explain to me what it is about Josh Middleton that you are hearing that is unique? I love his screams, but it sounds like pretty straightforward fry screams in my opinion... and if you are talking about the "pitched" screaming like at the end of "I sever", it's deceptive. The melody of the synth in the background coupled with what I believe to be clean vocals low in the mix make it sound much more pitched than it really is. It's a great mixing technique, but not his screaming that causes it. Watch live version if you don't want to take my word for it. But if there's something else I haven't heard (I am not hugely familiar with the band) I'd love to hear it. I know I am not who you were asking for an explanation, but I am curious.
amazing Brother! Amazing!!!
thank you dave
You are very welcome
Cattle decapitation. That sounds like a band that you already know what they’ll sound like before you press play.
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful 😊
09:00 still amaze with fry scream with pitch and dont have any idea how to do that
Feel free to reach out to us if you’re interested in learning or check out our EVI Now program for more detailed information on how to activate the sound 😊 extremevocalinstitute.com
one style i didn't see you point out is the kind of thing Judas Priest started doing a lot around the time Painkiller came out. (i believe Cattle Decapitation does this too) its a false cord scream with your falsetto engaged on top of it, really cool to listen to and apparently quite safe!
I'm at 00:53 and I'm already lost, yup this is gonna go great
Dude you're great
You’re also great
Incredible! Can you tell me what type of voice is Jonne Järvalä's from Korpiklaani? I want to sing like him, but i don't know how to search for it. :(
Hi! I'm new, i found this video amazing, about artists who use this technique, I think Joe duplantier from Gojira is the person that better uses this tecnique, he is just amazing, it would be really interesting to see a video explaining how he can sing like that. Amazing video bro!
Hi! We do 30 Second Voice Lesson videos where David breaks down different artists’ sounds. He hasn’t done Joe’s yet but he is on the list so keep an eye out! 😊
Can you do a short on Alesana's Screaming technique?
Dude this helped me so much and I never felt so dumb haha thank you dude!!!!
We’re so glad that you found it helpful! 🤘
And now I know. I used to just false cord yell but physically hold back air so that any sound I made would just squeeze out and it sounded close enough to Oli Sykes, so I just kept going
Thank you
Thank YOU 😊
What are Barney Greenway from Napalm Deaths vocals are? I can't figure out if it's pitched scream or growls. But man they sound so powerful and unique.
very comfortable with my melodic voice just learned how to scream though about a year ago & it's semi by coincidence. I still don't know how to properly access false cord scream, like I know how you do it I guess I'm just used to fry scream & can incorporate fry & melodic. I have several songs now where I do. The false cord thing is something I will get eventually.
Any vocalist should check this guy out🖤🤘🏻
So wholesome ❤️. Can you please replace about half of the music industry?
Thanks for sharing this and being such a professional, and making this so professional.
u got more vids on the hyperglottic thing at 7:20 ? this sounds kinda like the way i be screaming and i cant really find a lot of information on youtube abt it
It comes up several times in our EVI Now program and we have an entire course on pitched screaming as well. You can learn more about the program here: extremevocalinstitute.com/evi-now
I wonder if you consider the "Squeling" tecnique as a good way to learn how to make gutural since in my case is really hard to understand and apply your tecniques. Greetings.
Dude! Thank you so damn much this was so helpful for me!! I just got into a band and I’m the only vocalist so I need help with this! Thanks so much- your saving my ass😂
Hell yeah! Stoked that this stuff is helping you 🙌
i love you man
How much sound pressure or physical volume should we be aiming for with extreme vocals? I've been doing it for years REALLY LOUD, and it would inevitably blow out my speaking/clean singing voice. With all of this (very welcome) analysis of extreme vocals I've become aware of 'healthy ways' to do it, but I'm not sure if I'm projecting enough to be functional. Does it come down to mic'ing?
It’s going to vary from person to person but here are some videos to check out that will help you:
False cord vs fry screams:

I feel like an idiot for asking this, but I'm trying to figure out Matty Mullins from Memphis may fire. His screams in "prove me right" from warped tour 2015 live, are those fry or pitched screams?
I really wanna learn this
Melodic stability, balance and practice are key!
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute I sent a request to get lessons with David
:0)
i studied opera and want to get into screaming, I have the most trouble with doing higher pitched screaming. it feels easy to do lower, vocal fry screaming. i'm trying to figure out in my voice where i need to put it to pitch it up higher
Have you done anything on Chris Cornell's singing style? If not I'd be interested
Chris Liepe has some videos breaking down Chris Cornell’s style. His videos are similar in style with things easily and clearly explained - maybe you will find it insightful
please teach us how to screem like Jon Mess from dance gavin dance in the new song strawberry's wake.
Merci pour tes conseils, ça a beaucoup de sens.
Je me suis nettement améliorer, grâce à toi et une youtubeuse française MIROWSHKA.vous expliquez divinement bien cette discipline. 1000 merci
I don't know if you'll respond to this but no matter if i do warmups or not before signing or screaming.. i always lose my voice my throat gets sore and it's weird
I know the technique but i always lose my voice and it getting annoying :/ any tips for that?
Sounds like theirs an imbalance of how you’re creating the sound. Usually this is the result of constricting the throat or pushing too hard to force the sounds out. These vocals are all about balance and doing the least amount of work to get the maximum amount of output. Check out our videos on breathing for metal vocals and power ≠ tone for more info on that.
You may need to go back to the foundation of how you’re getting to the sound in the first place. Hope that helps and if you need more help you call feel free to reach out for a lesson via our website: extremevocalinstitute.con/private-lessons
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute thank you
Prince is the best at screaming in tune he screams so high his insane
Truly a legend
Cattle Decap you say? U sir have gained a subscriber lmao
We do love some Cattle Decap! 😍 Thanks for the sub!
Has anyone paid for his course or private lessons? What's your experience?
We have a bunch of reviews on our website!
Here’s also some posts from artists we’ve worked with:
instagram.com/p/CRfIbVCpJcM/?
instagram.com/p/CKzukxSAzmH/?
instagram.com/p/B-aUFwLJYUf/?
I like to call it shouting. I used to call it yelling. It’s like what Oli Sykes from BMTH has always done.
We avoid calling it that because shouting and yelling are different and much more damaging to the vocal cords. This is an actual technique that is safer to use if balanced appropriately and used in moderation
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute "Pitched scream", your channel (I believe) is the first place I've ever heard the term. I only referred to it in the past as "yells" because I wasn't sure how to classify them on my own with no one else's input (lol). Then, I think the Voice Hacks channel got me into calling them "shouts". But I can see where "Pitched scream" is probably the best term for it. For me, it's just awesome seeing people talk about this stuff because for a long time I was just independently learning it on my own, but never knew what to call things and so on. xD Keep it up mate!
Yeah we stray from using “shouts” or “yells” in our terminology because you’re not yelling or shouting and people get confused. The term “pitched screaming” definitely didn’t originate with us but it is our preferred term for this style of vocalizing
Can you teach how to do a Kurt Cobain type of fry. Really looking for some help
7:30 Spongebob
Just a comment for you become more popular
fantastic video, you can’t tell me the note at 7:30 doesn’t sound like spongebob tho
It was lmao
i recommend watching these guys vids on 2x speed. sooo sloowwww
awsome, hello algorithm
As soon as you said cattle decapitation I knew you was sensei
when you hit the higher clean notes i pictured you singing 50s 60s doo wop
maybe someday 😂
I don't know why I can't make louder notes while i'm screaming.
11:18
I can push those high notes while screaming but it's like muted....
I really like the reaper product placement. ha
Hahaha not intentional and we use ProTools now! It’s a great DAW for getting started with though!
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute is there really a big upgrade btwn reaper and protools?
Reaper seems to have everything we need.
Also, what do you mean by pitched DL?.
@@TheronasaurusRx ProTools is industry standard and the producers I work with use it. You can get everything you need from Reaper and if you like it, great! Just found ProTools better for our needs
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute yeah, i hear ya. I guess I'm correct in my assumption that reaper and protools are about equal performance-wise but protools just has dominance bc the big dogs use it. keep up the good work and good luck!
Just realized if he wanted to he could do Quagmire's voice.
Can 66 more people like this video because it's awesome and the devil said so.
imagine being in the next room😂
Hello beloveds always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM Today. Much love!
A tip for fellow viewers: 1.5x playback speed
This is interesting but I honestly feel like you could be much more concise in your videos.
Hi! We understand that people have different styles of learning. We have an entire series of videos where David just breaks down certain sounds without speaking at all. David puts a lot of effort into explaining things in a way that everyone can understand and sometimes that does mean repeating things. Thanks for the feedback though!
Here’s a link to that series: ua-cam.com/video/U-RgnKutuvw/v-deo.html
We also have several newer ones available on our Instagram @extremevocalinstitute
"back to Linkin Park". .. .dude ... how about fucking Zeppelin, the Guess Who or even Nirvana if you want to look at "later" bands. LP are a bad joke -- the illusion of danger while being perfectly void of any actual edge or danger. like a rollercoaster. Smooth and ready for radio and mass consumption.
Imagine getting mad over an example lmao.
imagine saying that LP are a joke nah u are a joke, get out of the comment section
You're saying it like the bands you listed aren't played on the radio from time to time as well 💀💀
You talks tooooo much...very limited demonstration of vocal
Hi! This video wasn’t about vocal demonstrations as much as it was about the differences in the types of vocals. We have a series called 30 Second Voice Lessons that you might like a bit more if you’re interested in vocal demonstrations. You can find some of the examples on our channel or you call follow our Instagram or David’s TikTok for more of that!
