Well said man. A lot of "how to scream" videos on youtube easily end up coming across as confusing, but I think you did well to keep it as simple and relatable as possible. Would love to hear that continue into the pitched screaming topic.
Thanks a lot for watching Dylan! Definitely have some extra things to mention in the pitched screaming one based on everyone’s questions. Glad that I didn’t film them in the same day Are there any topics you’d like me to elaborate on in the next videos?
I started playing in a hardcore/metal band (although today this would surely be called metal core lol but we never used that term at the time) around 2000/2001, and I had a hell of a time figuring out how to do this right. For the first year or so my technique was terrible and I would push too hard and blow out my voice. After seeing various bands live and studying the singers I started ti notice the way the singers often were screaming without looking like they were straining and about to blow an artery or something, and eventually figured out the correct technique, or something close to it. I stopped playing metal for the most part soon after, by taking too much acid one night and discovering the Grateful Dead (I’m serious-sorry everyone), but I still love metal, especially been going back to it in recent years, but god damn I wish I would’ve had a video like this back then. Great explanation!
dude, thank you so much, seriously - i have a year of experience fry screaming and i've been playing with a band almost that whole time and this video has helped me take the power and aggression of my screams to the next level. the tip about not holding back is also extremely helpful, cause i've tried doing that at shows to make my voice last longer but it just ended up making my throat feel scratchy.
Thanks so much for watching and I’m stoked it helped ! I also noticed that for myself as well. And it’s weird because it seems obvious to hold back to preserve but it ends up hurting more. Obviously don’t overly push to be obnoxious, but once you find that perfect pocket. You’re good.
Insane. I've tried pretty much EVERY TECHNIQUE, watched EVERY VIDEO, yet couldn't get past whisper screams (that damaged my throat). Five minutes after watching your video, I managed to actually do it. This video is PURE GOLD, thank you so much for this tutorial 🙏
This is great advice! I noticed tho that this video is recorded at home, a great place to practice screaming surely, however I encourage you, and everyone else, to practice their screaming techniques wherever they go. I used to practice as an inventory sales associate, they loved hearing me randomly belt out a good high pitch growlscream while counting the shelves!
Hahaha as long. As you don’t get fired, and feel comfortable, I say go for it. If you’re holding back or self conscious, definitely more likely to hurt yourself
I've only been into metal for just under a year, but I'm so into it now. I went to Northlane's concert in Melbourne in Feb of this year and I was blown away - I just loved the energy of the crowd. I was just outside of the mosh-circle radius, so I got collided int oa bit, but I didn't care at all. I used to dedicate my singing to mostly classical techniques, but now I'm really determined to get into this hardcore style. I love all these insturction videos, so.... thank you. Thank you very much.
Dude thank you so much for checking it out. That is very much so the unfortunate reality for a lot of people. Will have to wait until people are out of the house/ apartment or even try the technique into a pillow haha. Hope to hear Eric’s vocals on the new jams soon
Hahaha damn that sucks man. I feel very lucky to have had semi soundproof room. And back in the days of actually writing songs in a room, had plenty of time to get loud. The cup thing is interesting tho. How far do you need to have it placed v
Same!! I screamed at 12:00 AM when I thought that everyone must be in deep sleep and I screamed the hell out and my uncle came to my study room (where I do my studies and singing) and asked "Is everything all right?" I said "Yeah yeah I was just practicing screaming". I felt so guilty.
CJ Mcmahon is one of if not my favorite vocalist because he's so damn good at mixing his actual voice in with the more monster sounding vocals. It's something I dream of.
Definitely liking and subbing. And i dont do that too much. Thanks man. Really. Im 31, been writing singing low screaming/yelling for 15yrs now or so. Always have the passion. This video literally helped me in some ways as far as what im doing wrong. I practiced your techniques, and i guess with the previous experience i been having i nailed it. Thanks man
I appreciate that! I definitely am considering it because there are some out there but I feel like they’re missing some information that I found extremely helpful. What kind of vocals do you do?
@@BrendonKPadjasek It's honestly what I found easier to start with. Originally I was trying to aim for the screaming style Adrian from Northlane used to do but I just didn't know enough about screaming at the time. My favorite vocalist are Adrian fitipaldes, Ryo kinoshita, and Brian Willie
Oh yeah I think Adrian does a similar thing to what I’m doing from touring with him years ago. At least I think so. Not sure what Ryo is doing but he’s a beast and killed it every day on those tours we did
Man, to this day Earth Gazer is still one of my favourite songs and you're one of my top vocalists thanks to that track. So glad I found this video on my recomendations
I would add that this technique is usual referred to as a fry scream. The other one mentioned typically used in the death side of the core/metal genre is typically called false chord. The fry’s you use are definitely mixed in with a lot of natural voice but it doesn’t necessarily need to be this way. Using more compression with a fry scream can lead to some pretty sweet tones for all sides of metal.
I absolutely agree with you on all of what you said. The draw back to introducing more compression with a fry scream is that you lose a bit more of the person’s individual sound. And then you end up sounding like the large majority of vocalist that sound quite similar - indistinguishable. That’s why I titled the video as such, as I’m trying help people find their individual approach. Thanks for watching and for commenting the things I didn’t mention in the video. Appreciate it! What kind of vocals do you do?
I've always enjoyed singing along to Linkin Park and 30STM, but could never hit those crazy-scream notes, this is gonna be immensely helpful, thank you!
Hey thank you so much! I’ve always loved Chester’s voice as well. I believe he’s laying back on the pushing side of things so take it easy at first and find your comfortable spot. I know he’s able to hold some screams out for crazy long so it’s all about finding the right compression
I love the information you give. 20 years of doing vocals myself only I'm all self taught so I have a hard time explaining some of what I'm doing especially my crazy highs and I'm constantly being asked for tutorials on them lol.
@BrendonKPadjasek np man! I'll be sure to check out more of your content. If you ever have the chance too I recommend taking a look at one of my black dahlia covers. Or anything of mine really.
I didn't expect the vocalist for a pretty heavy band to be such a chill and down to earth dude haha, I was also aware of structures long before seeing this, so awesome :) this was really helpful
Lol the music doesn't make the person who they are who the person is makes the music your background your race your upbringing doesn't define what your musical preference should be there's buisness men who listen to metal and factory workers who listen to opera were all unique and our interests don't decide who we are we decide what our interests are. The dudes from infant annihilator sing about the most evil shit but are kind and very social and happy people
I just started my career as a vocalist about a week ago. At first I had a lot of trouble changing the pitch of my own voice and i just know how to false cord in the wrong way. This video really helped my progress. thank you so much!
Definitely give it a try and don’t feel like you need to hold back. But also don’t push yourself unnecessarily. It’s a balancing act. Thanks so much for watching!
I was listening to structures since high school and didn’t listen to you guys in a while. I’m now in my twenties. I randomly stumped upon this video and had no idea you were from structures until you said so. The way my eyes lit up at this full circle moment.
That sorta voice cracking hollering thing that happened on his lower scream to the end is what made it click for me a while back. It's that sorta rasp that appears when your voice is breaking between head voice and chest voice. If anyone is having trouble after watching this tutorial try ramping up like he does but when your voice breaks into head voice try going back and forth, and letting yourself yodel.
this video only makes sense if you know how to fry scream to begin with. I can't get the "chest" distortion at all. if i push like you said my voice breaks. I have been a singer for 17+ years in semi pro band, but never managed to figure out fry scream
I really like the vocals in the recording of the Roadhouse live concert, great job. I still often eavesdrop. I was also pleased with your joint track with Northlane on the new album
this is the technique i randomly discovered after countless trial and error on my own, and i wasn't sure if it was correct or not at first until i saw this video my only issue is, sometimes my screams are too voiced, when i just want the pure distortion of the fry scream. but other than that, this is the technique that truly clicked for my vocals not that whole "just get the fry register sound in your throat and compress it simple"
Yeah I always hurt my throat when I tried that fry register one. I know what you mean about the too much voice in the scream. I usually have a note of some sort assigned to my scream but I personally like that. I do want to learn false chord though
@BrendonKPadjasek yeah no i completely agree, the voice through the scream makes it unique af to yourself. also only just realized you're the vocalist for structures? love your music man, I've listened to you guys since i was in high school back when you dropped "life through a window"
Thank you so much for this video. Unfortunately, the "Don't hold back" part is the most hard in it cause a lot of people just afraid of being judged. So do i ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's absolutely the hardest part about vocals in general I find. It's such a mental thing and the minute you start feeling unconfident, it all falls apart. You can always try it into a pillow lol just to get the idea down and comfortable. But then finding a place to put it into practice is the hard part
@@BrendonKPadjasek not hurting at all! Just some fatigue if i don't warmup properly or if I "push" to much since it's not that long that i learned doing it! within some time i will be able to record something i guess!
I'm only a year late but I'm thinkin about doin metal among other styles of music so from 101 to infinity BRING IT ON❣️ Much love and many blessings to you
Took me a couple of years while commuting for 2 hours a day to discover this exact thing. Cool to see someone else out there in the same boat. The problem I have is developing and maintaining the tolerance in my throat. I can achieve this, but not maintain it. Consistency will build these muscles hopefully.
Yeah I feel like after understanding where the tone comes from and how to create it, taking a step back and not putting %100 in ends up allowing you to do it for a full song
I learned from loosing my voice every few days at band practice 20 years ago. Literally no one showed me anything, just screamed at the top of my lungs for hr’s…it took a few years before I could fully control all diff styles of distorted vocals. Now 20 years on I can do any style with zero damage...My normal voice is also fine btw ..it is amazing how much damage it can heal from. I do feel like learning at low volume then getting louder later would be safer for people. After all these years I would say learning Volume/breath control is the most important thing.
Here we go, my 100,000th tutorial after almost 18 years and still not able to scream, lets see of this is the one Edit: so unfortunately for me one of the steps was " add distortion " which is exactly what i don't know how to do........ bummer
And to think any human being would be screaming like that or better, when being tortured or sent to the slaughter house. Classy. Brutal. Takes seconds! Great instructional vid my man + new sub, been having a hard time pulling out my fried exhaled scream after so many years with perfecting inhales. Little did I know that wasn't that necessary. Oh well, YOLO to my teen years!
This is perfect. I'm going to practice and see if I can do it. By the way, I've watched a lot of Chris Liepe videos - it's nice to see him being quoted.
Oh yeah Chris is great. Love his approach and explanations Thank you. Hope it works out, just be sure to take it slow and if you feel strain , go a bit softer and take the steps in parts
Great video, thanks for all the tips ! I'm screaming for a while now but I've been kinda confused lately with my voice so any advice is really great and I love the way you scream !
@@BrendonKPadjasek You're welcome, your content is really interesting wether it's songwriting or mixing too ! With vocals I mainly try not hurting myself for now. In fact I still haven't found any warmup routine that works for me. Every time I try a warmup found on UA-cam and scream after, my voice is already fucked up in half a verse and I have massive headache. It's frustrating and I end up not working because I'm afraid of hurting myself. Because for the screaming part, I use to know what I wanted to do, well it worked at least, or I thought it worked.
Such a useful video! I would love to see more vocal related stuff. And i was wondering, what is the best way to go from "distorted" voice to clean round robin. Thank you for your content, it really makes people better musicians!
Hey thank you so much, I appreciate that a lot and I’m glad it’s super useful. To be honest, I don’t really do much cleans at all anymore, but at a point when I was trying I found that it was mostly just easing up in the compression from your chest and kind of shifting the momentum from your chest, to your abdominal/ diagram slightly more. Hope that makes sense
Watch this video to learn how to add distortion:

Yes yes yes!!!
Hahaha amazing. Do you happen to have any singing background at all?
@@BrendonKPadjasek just a little bit but can't wait for more insight from you!!
My co-workers are very confused at the moment
Hahahaha they’ll understand one day

Me, on a random Tuesday at 11 am: Trying to learn how to scream lol
Hahah hopefully it helped
Thanks for checking it out
Nah cause fr (but it’s Saturday)
Bro I found this comment @11:17 but its sunday
Sunday 10:33 night 😅
I am an opera singer. My son plays metal core drums (omg what a family!). Thanks for this excellent explanation.
Haha that’s amazing. Never a dull moment. You gotta make a song together lol
Symphonic metalcore album when?
can i get your sons instagram?
@@truth2820 @wallaby_drums. He's only 15.
So… You’re Elizabeth and Will?
Well im sat here and im sure my neighbours think im possessed
Hahaha as long as they don’t call the cops, you’re good
@@BrendonKPadjasek it's been 5 months and they're still not back.... I fear the cops and the exorcist have been called.
I get up at 330am with a 1 hour drive into work, so i already feel like screaming. This will definitely help, awesome video with good info.
Hahahaha I love that! Thanks Kevin! I’m glad it’s helpful
Car is a great place to practice Hahaha
@ribeiropk I agree with this haha
"Take a break if youre voice starts to feel fried" no pun intended
Hahaha I didn’t even realize that. Good ear haha

Thank you so much. I love doing these UA-cam videos and seeing how some people find them useful and others don’t haha. Glad to help those that I can
I love what you do man, how you give credit and not have an ego about it. that’s strength.
Thank you! It’s definitely important to give credit where it’s due and also be realistic and self aware haha

Thanks for checking it out! Glad it was easy for you to grasp
"Sound like no one else"
Me: "no problem. Squeak squeak."
HAHAHAHAHAH that is amazing
That thumbnail goes HARD ⚰️
love the visual combo of anatomy & feeling. thanks man

This is great advice!

Thank you very much.
I’ve never had such a good explanation in screaming. This is exactly what I needed to know, thanks a million!
No problem! Remember to take it in steps and if you feel like you’ve over done it or caused pain, take a break and try again another time
I've been trying to scream for a year but this video change everything i did it first try. even warm ups are amazingly helped my voice control
Eh thanks so much! Super glad it helps. Also Chris Liepe has a few great videos more in depth on the warm ups a swell
Finding comfortable place to practise is PEAK advise. It really helped me, thank you very much!
No problem! Vocals I’d say are 80% a mind game and the rest is practice so finding somewhere safe and comfortable is a must
Me watching this simply because I don't want to sound like a strangled chicken while singing along to my tunes
Yep 100% me also
How's your screaming technique today?
I never comment but my vocals have genuinely never been better so thank you so much for this video! Incredible work!
I am infinitely glad to hear it. This approach seems to not work for everyone so I’m stoked to hear it’s helping some!
I just unlocked a new region of voice thanks to you :)
I’m so glad! Thank you! And always remember, if it feels like you’re doing damage, take a step back
Bro, I've been trying to learn how to do this for two years and this video led me to succeeding at it for the first time. Thank you!
Always happy to hear that. Thanks for checking it out
If only my walls weren't paper thin I would have loved to learn screaming vocals ! As always, great video with valuable advices :)
Dude thank you so much for checking it out. That is very much so the unfortunate reality for a lot of people. Will have to wait until people are out of the house/ apartment or even try the technique into a pillow haha.
Hope to hear Eric’s vocals on the new jams soon
Hahaha damn that sucks man. I feel very lucky to have had semi soundproof room. And back in the days of actually writing songs in a room, had plenty of time to get loud. The cup thing is interesting tho.
How far do you need to have it placed v
I agree that’s it’s vert soul crushing. I guess the best options is renting an hour at a rehearsal space
Same!! I screamed at 12:00 AM when I thought that everyone must be in deep sleep and I screamed the hell out and my uncle came to my study room (where I do my studies and singing) and asked "Is everything all right?" I said "Yeah yeah I was just practicing screaming". I felt so guilty.
@TTD-rocks999 hahahaha that’s definitely the hardest part. Finding the time and place to practice

Amazing. Thank you for watching. Seems like a lot of people want a pitch screaming tutorial as well

That would be the point where you reach the scream, where your voice breaks. As long as it’s not hurting your throat, your golden
Yeah! Screaming is basically using your break in a safe way. That’s why it feels so silly at the beginning. But it shouldn’t hurt.
@adrienrequin5632 exactly
Best Tutorial so far !!! i love it
Thank you so much my friend. I’m glad you found it useful
Rule one: if you can't do the technique quietly, you are doing it wrong. Been singing 34 years in extreme metal.
Oh sick! What band are you in?
Would love to hear some of your stuff
Wait so i can start practicing without getting evicted? 😂
Just let your voices heal. Doesnt have to be quiet
Where are you , bro , with your 34 years of vocals? You must have enough to pass on to the yout’?
I really like the vocals in the recording of the Roadhouse live concert, great job. I still often eavesdrop. I was also pleased with your joint track with Northlane on the new album
Thank you my friend! Yeah I’m stoked on how that show turned out
Did your parents ever think that you needed to be exorcised when you were practicing
They did but accidentally thought I needed to be exercised. So I got jacked as a kid. And then over time became the scrawny man I am today
My parents thought I was worshipping satan in my room. Or stubbed my toe. Either or.
@zackreaves9371 I didn’t realize there was a difference
Nice work, bro! Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you my friend! Glad it was useful!
this is the technique i randomly discovered after countless trial and error on my own, and i wasn't sure if it was correct or not at first until i saw this video
my only issue is, sometimes my screams are too voiced, when i just want the pure distortion of the fry scream.
but other than that, this is the technique that truly clicked for my vocals not that whole "just get the fry register sound in your throat and compress it simple"
Yeah I always hurt my throat when I tried that fry register one. I know what you mean about the too much voice in the scream. I usually have a note of some sort assigned to my scream but I personally like that. I do want to learn false chord though
@BrendonKPadjasek yeah no i completely agree, the voice through the scream makes it unique af to yourself.
also only just realized you're the vocalist for structures? love your music man, I've listened to you guys since i was in high school back when you dropped "life through a window"
@hxstiile oh that’s amazing. That’s the first album I was the main vocalist. Always did guitar and backing before then. Thanks so much!
Well I love this video. You and Will Ramos are excellent teachers
EH thanks so much! I was watching his the other day as well
@@BrendonKPadjasek No problem, man. I can already feel a difference
@@ScopeShadow94 that’s amazing to hear
"IMAGE NOT FOUND"😂😂😂
Спасибо за объяснение возникновения звука на основе своего опыта! Очень познавательно
Thank you so much for this video. Unfortunately, the "Don't hold back" part is the most hard in it cause a lot of people just afraid of being judged. So do i ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's absolutely the hardest part about vocals in general I find. It's such a mental thing and the minute you start feeling unconfident, it all falls apart. You can always try it into a pillow lol just to get the idea down and comfortable. But then finding a place to put it into practice is the hard part
@@BrendonKPadjasek Thank you so much for an advice!
No worries. Also if you drive you can always try it in the car haha. Let the traffic hear you
This is the video that confirms that i am doing it right. Thanks a lot!
Stoked to hear that! As long as it doesn’t hurt and you’re getting the tone, you’re doing good in my books
@@BrendonKPadjasek not hurting at all! Just some fatigue if i don't warmup properly or if I "push" to much since it's not that long that i learned doing it! within some time i will be able to record something i guess!
@drspody awesome. I hope it goes well!
Everybody watching this video with their tongues going nuts
Lmao exactly!
I'm only a year late but I'm thinkin about doin metal among other styles of music so from 101 to infinity BRING IT ON❣️ Much love and many blessings to you
Great idea my friend! And thanks for watching
my neighbors literally called 911 on me. im so embarrassed to go outside now 😂 i had to apologize to them 😅
Hahahaha did they call because of the noise or because they were worried?
Sounds like you did it right and they need a mind they're a business lol
@derrickcook1824 I agree haha
Literally the most metal response
Took me a couple of years while commuting for 2 hours a day to discover this exact thing. Cool to see someone else out there in the same boat. The problem I have is developing and maintaining the tolerance in my throat. I can achieve this, but not maintain it. Consistency will build these muscles hopefully.
Yeah I feel like after understanding where the tone comes from and how to create it, taking a step back and not putting %100 in ends up allowing you to do it for a full song
I'll look for the "how to sing" first
Good call!
I learned from loosing my voice every few days at band practice 20 years ago. Literally no one showed me anything, just screamed at the top of my lungs for hr’s…it took a few years before I could fully control all diff styles of distorted vocals. Now 20 years on I can do any style with zero damage...My normal voice is also fine btw ..it is amazing how much damage it can heal from. I do feel like learning at low volume then getting louder later would be safer for people. After all these years I would say learning Volume/breath control is the most important thing.
Absolutely agree about the volume / breath control aspect.
Glad it's healed up ahah
Achievement Unlocked - Screaming
Hahhaa you have succeeded
Dude you sound insane, thats awesome!
Thank you for the kind words!
My cat was hard judging me and I felt self conscious so I stopped
At can be pretty evil
Real
Appreciate the knowledge

@@BrendonKPadjasek super cool!
well explained and super helpful, thanks!
Thanks for checking it out!
Here we go, my 100,000th tutorial after almost 18 years and still not able to scream, lets see of this is the one
Edit: so unfortunately for me one of the steps was " add distortion " which is exactly what i don't know how to do........ bummer
Me too
Same! Idk how to add distortion…
Distortion is that scratchiness, shouldn't be that hard
@@yup7242 it is for me man, it just doesn't work for some reason
@@reginameyers same boat
I like the Redwood Tree vocal exercise! I learned it as "Greenwood tree" in high school choir.
Oh interesting Ive never heard of that one
Really well taught, cheers
thank you!
holy shit i think i’m actually finally getting it from this video dude thank you so much
No problem! So glad it’s helpful! Just remember if you ever feel any stain, take a break and come back to it another day
@@BrendonKPadjasektotally dude
Insanely good tutorial
Thank you Diego! I have a few other vocal tutorials up on my channel
thanks man, my screaming style feels so dry and generic, but with this tutorial, I feel like Imma be able to do the style I want.
That makes me so happy to hear
And to think any human being would be screaming like that or better, when being tortured or sent to the slaughter house. Classy. Brutal. Takes seconds! Great instructional vid my man + new sub, been having a hard time pulling out my fried exhaled scream after so many years with perfecting inhales. Little did I know that wasn't that necessary. Oh well, YOLO to my teen years!
Hahahaha thanks for checking it out!
Best explanation ever
Eh thanks so much! Always make sure to stay hydrated and to not over do it
yes yes yes. singing and screaming and moving on stage is one of the best sports of all time :D i totally agree
Hahahah and very difficult
Awesome, thanks dude
Thanks for checking it out
this is so cool!
Thank you!
This is perfect. I'm going to practice and see if I can do it. By the way, I've watched a lot of Chris Liepe videos - it's nice to see him being quoted.
Oh yeah Chris is great. Love his approach and explanations
Thank you. Hope it works out, just be sure to take it slow and if you feel strain , go a bit softer and take the steps in parts
Great video, thanks for all the tips ! I'm screaming for a while now but I've been kinda confused lately with my voice so any advice is really great and I love the way you scream !
Hey, thanks for checking it out! there are quite a few techniques out there. What are you looking to achieve with your vocals?
@@BrendonKPadjasek You're welcome, your content is really interesting wether it's songwriting or mixing too !
With vocals I mainly try not hurting myself for now. In fact I still haven't found any warmup routine that works for me. Every time I try a warmup found on UA-cam and scream after, my voice is already fucked up in half a verse and I have massive headache. It's frustrating and I end up not working because I'm afraid of hurting myself. Because for the screaming part, I use to know what I wanted to do, well it worked at least, or I thought it worked.
Hey I appreciate all the kind words. Thank you!
And interesting. Where is a lot of your scream coming from in your body?
I love the video it’s amazing
Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful
So dope! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for checking it out! I have another planned for a couple weeks from now
Such a useful video! I would love to see more vocal related stuff. And i was wondering, what is the best way to go from "distorted" voice to clean round robin. Thank you for your content, it really makes people better musicians!
Hey thank you so much, I appreciate that a lot and I’m glad it’s super useful. To be honest, I don’t really do much cleans at all anymore, but at a point when I was trying I found that it was mostly just easing up in the compression from your chest and kind of shifting the momentum from your chest, to your abdominal/ diagram slightly more. Hope that makes sense
@@BrendonKPadjasek Yes, thank you very much 🙂
