This Trained Singer Teaches Metal Bands How To Scream (HBO)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 сер 2017
- Melissa Cross is a classically trained singer and actress. But it’s her work with metal bands that’s the reason for her success, and her nom de guerre: the “Queen of Scream.” The 60-year-old has worked with some of the biggest names in hardcore, from Slipknot to Slayer and Megadeth. As America’s heavy bands hit the road this summer, Cross is in demand--and takes VICE News backstage at the Vans Warped Tour stop in San Antonio.

I’d love to see more of her trainings! She’s great!
Where can I sign up
VICE News could you reproduce with your own voice and then upload it on UA-cam this track called on UA-cam: 14th rite pat o brien cannibal corpse. Thanks 🙏
Really like metal vocals. I have done a lot my self without damaging my voice in the first week because I consistently doing warm ups, but afterwards I was caughing, feeling some pain. Can I take any online lessons?
@@SonessStevens she has a DVD called The Art of Screaming.
People under estimate how hard it is to scream properly.
Melissa Cross knows how hard it is, that's why she teaches fry screams instead
Yeah once I tried to do a metal scream my voice became meak after just a few minutes of trying (not a metal singer just was bored and wanted to find out how hard it really is)
Or some just aren't horny nigga laundry basket
2dane Daan wait..... what?
@@sjsjdjfjf5116 people get into the in-crowd. Doing the same thing as driving the back of your mouth. Which is just your spawn music occasionally under of punked style rock family
i love how she completely understands metal its not just mind numbing screaming to her like most people hear.
most people? you mean the degenerates? yea i guess most people are degenerates
@@nofatchxplzthx So everyone who doesnt understand metal is a degenerate?
Dayum bro, you seem like a smart boi.
Pretty much what most people think of people who like that mind numbing screaming.
だれも so people who don’t have a particular taste for a genre are degenerates? I’d say people who aren’t accepting of other people’s taste are degenerates, but what do I know
@@nofatchxplzthx You sound like a degenerate.
to be fair, most bands are shiiiiiit at doing screaming and ye'lling, the famous singer that are Cradle of Filth has the PERFECT Balance to my ears.
oh yes, my favorite band, Avenged Vocal Folds.
why tf does this not have more likes
@@boofe7206 I don't know!
YESSSSS😂🤘🏽🤘🏽
Nice
My favorite comment
imagine thinking she's just a sweet old lady, *_but then she starts sreaming in metal_*
𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙪𝙨 シ I find it funny that I saw you in two other UA-cam comment sections today.
Piper T oh cool! what was the other comment section did you find me in?
𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙪𝙨 シ Some Gorillaz crack videos 🙏 ... I think
Looks like she was born male
Metal screaming women can still be sweet, I mean in this video she didn't seem aggressive at all. Also the person above me stfu
OMG this is TOO SHORT, i want to know more about her and what her doing
Check her "Zen of Screaming" course
dude, me too
she is scam
Melissa Cross - The Zen of Screaming
kriza why?
The way she speaks about metal at the end is beautiful
Glowstick48 yeah. She sees the genre as a way for people to be themselves instead of viewing as a “phase” or a bunch of satanists
@@blarplebarp6465 well said, that's what we see in it
My eyes teared up
She was somewhat right, but also not altogether right. To say metal is not "tainted" like pop is not true; I read interviews by metal artists who quit the scene because labels would limit their artistic liberty by telling them how they are supposed to sound to sell records. "That's metal; that's not metal"... The industry is not as heartless like pop but but it's still an industry.
@@GMovieSeeker yeah but the independent artistry community for metal is one of the biggest
I love this woman, this is awesome and it’s really heartwarming to see how she really cares and wants to help
She's amazing 🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yes she seems wholesome as hell

typical comment by a man...
03:26 I’m so amazed by how quickly he goes from screaming to singing so beautifully
do you know the name of that song?
@@guitarplayer1495 it’s called The Sinner by Memphis May Fire
that is honestly harder than anything else to do with screaming. being able to seemlessly transition from gritty screams to regular clean singing is super duper hard to control.
Search the song "JINJER- Pisces", in it there is both brutal vocal and normal vocal and it is like a progressive metal song (I love it)
thank you I was looking for this question and that what is that song
This is so weird but nice. "We learned our guttural, demonic, hellish screams from a sweet lady using plastic straws"
* Goes into video thinking "maybe it'll be half-decent"
* Hears her refer to "vocal folds" rather than "chords"
* Immediately begins to listen intently
*cords
@@danksamosa3952 vocal folds is more proper in my experience (5 years studio ) I think i confuses people to call them cords but most people who listen and don't play or participate say otherwise. Her breathing methods are solid you always want just enough air not to much or to little when you scream, you also don't want to push it out with your throat because back pressure will hurt your folds you want to use a steady stream of air and if you need to mute yourself between screams close your mouth it'll just go out of your nose ezpz. I've done screaming for 6 bands so far, working on getting another one together though really soon.
@@renkei7864 They were correcting the original commenter's spelling of cords. They used the spelling "chords," which only means sets of notes played together; vocal "cords" uses the spelling associated with fibers/rope/etc.
@@RianeBane RianeBane I know that but the vocal folds aren't cords or fibres it's a misnomer. He misspelled them as chords but it's not a big deal. That's a given I obviously noticed the misspelling but everyone knows what the op meant. I'm pretty sure the majority of people know what chords are me included being a Multi-instrumentalist and all.
I was the 1000th like dude
Let's appreciate how healthy her voice is for her age. Not hoarse, not frail, just perfect. Screaming properly is indeed an art to be learned by whomever wants to sing metal.
Randy Blythe would disagree, to quote Randy "it's not a talent and there's no amount of practice that makes someone better it's just a thing you do"
@@justaguyonyoutube Weird that he would word it like that. Saying "a thing *you* do" as if it's something that applies to any and all screamers. Maybe that applies to him, but every screamer I've ever listened to or talked to has said that practicing made them better, and I don't think there are massive waves of screamers out there lying about that fact just for the heck of it.
3:25 that dude has a really good voice
does anyone know this band?

Well you should come to Obscene Extreme Fest then.

@@malachisharp2695 🤣
Damn, those last words had me in tears. 'I was a hippie and we lost the way, these kids, they know the way, the got it for real' Felt like someone finally understood me and all my allies out there, who use metal as our way to connect, to feel, to build a world with the lessons we learned from pain. A world that is worth living in, where its okay to feel, okay to scream, okay to cry and okay to LOVE without any limits.
We don't want to fight.
So We Scream
Metal is the only genre i can’t listen to :(
Sooo, you don't know the way??
@@joeylantis22 I have this idea that Nightwish is the gateway drug of metal. I suggest you start there.
Woohoo!
Okay Kyle stop punching the wall and go to bed
Saying that Metal has taken the reigns of the hippie movement is something I've never thought about before lol
@El-ahrairah that's pretty dead on
The way has been passed on
SJWs have taken the hippie movement lmao
No way -no how - hippies appreciated real music
@@ritahall2378 metal is real music too y know
She looks like a Metal Cyndi Lauper lol
That’s a GOOD look

you havent seen cyndi lauper lately then

Hey, I see you on a lot of Nirvana songs.
“I was a hippy, and we lost the way…” Mad respect for people who can be honest and effective, and even affective in this way. Long live the growling teacher!
Just seemed like a large build up to an awesome video. But ended like a car running 90 mph into a brick wall. I wanted more!

Bleeding 😳
@@Robotic24my friend had his tounsils burst on stage it was metal af
“It’s so real, it’s just..straight from the heart”.
That resonated with me so hard. Melissa Cross is a gift to the metal community like Mitsy Shore is to comedy.

If She hears corey screaming she would kick corey in the face

Classical music and metal aren't too far apart
True af
Laughing Fungus I don't think u know wtf you're talking about. I think both take lots of skill, but the mindset is completely different
They are. Neoclassical metal and classical music are similar in the way that the metal genre took influence from it. Thats as far as it goes.
It really depends on what kind of metal, that word on its own means literally nothing
Metal is just classical music after electricity
I love how passionate she is about not just the people she teaches, but their music. She is a lovely soul.
This lady gets it!! I love how raw metal is, you rarely get that kind of realness in any other genre (to me anyway lol). So glad she’s there to help out my fave musicians!!
Right
This woman is like their vocal mom. It looks like she really cares about them for real
The comments on this video:
1% elitists complaining.

Yeah. I was expecting to find one mentioning golem on the drums at 2:18, but was disappointed...
She trains randy blythe from lamb of god as well
How so?
@MyOwnDesign They are hardly even processed, not as much autotune as mumble rappers
@MyOwnDesign if you see his live performances, he sounds pretty much exactly the same and sometimes better. all singers use some form of autotune or extra effects to make their vocals sound better in the albums
@MyOwnDesign you have obviously never seen them live...
MyOwnDesign look at any of his live shows. He sounds pretty much the same as the studio
Came for: _REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE_

*HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
I love it. She’s such a sweet, grandmotherly lady, and she teaches death metal singers how to scream properly.
She's also worked with people like Tommy Giles Rogers from Between the Buried and Me, Angela Gossow from Arch Enemy, and Randy Blythe from Lamb of God. She works with a wide variety of punk, hardcore, and Metal vocalists
I care. I love btbam. Found this interesting! Tommys vocals have changed quite a bit.
Angela's voice is one of very few that stands out to me from a slew of imitators, and it was clear that she could maintain the growling vocals for an entire gig : Randy Blythe is at the other end of the spectrum for mine. I know LoG have a lot of fans out there, but that's just my opinion.
Tommy Rogers? Holy shit never knew....
Loki Sigurdsson - Ahh no are they too trad for you babe? Only Burzum is good amirite?
Case in point.
Oliver sykes need to hired these school teacher.
Right. Considering since he had to cancel the rest of his tour which sucked
I’m p sure he’s trained with her before
I think he had classes with her, bullet for my Valentine also
Oliver was one of her students, he wrecked his chords when he was younger, kind of hard to return to the original sound after that.
He takes lessons for sure. When I saw him this year he sounded pretty much perfect.
People dont realize how much training and skill is involved in Metal screaming. The best frontmen/ frontwomen have to be able to do it consistently, AND be heard over the band, which is a huge challenge. A lot of singers get drowned out by the drums and guitars. Mass respect to this open minded vocal coach.
This is the cutest thing I've seen all day

When all you see is comments talking about other comments but you don't even see the ones they're talking about because they're all buried under people talking about them.. WTF 😂💀
Haha I was just gonna say the same thing! The only comments I've seen so far is about how bad this comment section is, if only people knew how ironic that statement is.
Yes.
You're part of the problem haha.
They're arguing about hardcore and why it is or isn't metal lol
gray mustache Mohawks?!
Jared Dines shows how hard and how much practice it takes to scream/growl.
Bless this woman for saving voices.
This was in my recommendations. I’m honestly not disappointed just wished it was longer .
I tried this first exercise and I was blown away. I never knew that I have that deep voice
Q_Q which exercise?
Which one is that?
Bro, what
which one you moron?
Reading the responses in high voices is hilarious 😂
You like Metal? Then, don't debate over what is metal or is not. Listen to Chuck Schuldiner : "I don't want to preach, but I would like to see metal become more of a united thing. I'm tired of people breaking things down into categories like thrash metal and death metal. I think people tend to stick to one category, and I want people to support all kinds of bands, whether it be Slayer or Queensryche or Death. I miss the days when it was acceptable to listen to everything from Priest and Maiden to Slayer and Venom."
I listen to what ever floats my boat also kinda depends on my mood
lick ass Don't call a quote from the god chuck gay.
Bro theres a big diference from heavy to grind, and theyre both metal
Noyasumi aaaaaaaaand?
@@Dodderyfeline31 thats why i believe metal should be categorized
2:43 he could’ve said love at first SKYPE
I purchased her Zen Art Screaming DVD's I believe 8 years ago, maybe less. Watched them and never had a problem with losing my voice after that. Played countless shows and people would be shocked my voice wasn't completely raspy or just gone. I owe that to Melissa Cross and her techniques.
Wow I'm in school to be a speech pathologist and that thing with the straw and the bottle of water are each techniques we use for people who come to SLPs for voice treatment.
Damn right! I'm about to get my graduation in SLP as well 😃 and I intend to work with metal vocalists, cause it's my vibe, I LOVE METAL ❤️
I really want to see her front a metal band. Even if it’s just for one song. My god, it would be epic
*Corey Taylor has joined the chat*
Corey Taylot: *INTENSE METAL BREATHING*
"The only vocal coach that cared about metal" I felt him when he said that
"Metal" is broken down into hundreds of sub-genres; however they generally are still referred to as simply "metal" because most people who don't listen don't understand, so it's easier to just say something is metal. Metal as a whole is still an underrated and niche category of music, we should be trying to spread the love and experience to others instead of fighting amongst ourselves over meaningless sub-genre details. Treat it like the pit, don't swing your arms, only involve those who want to be involved and pick your brothers up if they fall; we should be uniting and not fighting. Stay classy brothers and see you in the pit. \m/
Ayyye!👙👉🏼
In my experience, for people that don't know metal everything is just "heavy metal"
+Carbon MatrixG3 or death metal. Judas Priest is "death metal"
everything metal is heavy metal. metal is short heavy metal.
Vicerex thats gay. youre gay. all the people here are gay. and the metalcores in the video are gay too. metal isnt music it is a natural element. and if you want music then go listen to some megadeth or amonamarth or ningenisu or or or epica, vader, archenemy(before 2005), BATHORY, DISSECTION. the list's yet complete.
Oli Sykes should go see her so his fans can stop bitching about him "losing his voice". I need to hear Diamonds live
Eric Green No you really don't. BMTH are cancerous posers who are not only shit live but have a singer that sounds like a cat being raped.
Says the guy who is subscribed to dozens of poser girls
LoG
I saw them live last November and they were amazing. From seeing videos of oli singing live I didn't think they'd be that good but they blew me away
He is a client of hers. There's even a video of the two of them together. Melissa Cross has been around forever, and has two instructional DVDs, The Zen of Screaming 1 and 2
Look at Corey Taylor ffs. That guy has coolest voice i ever heard. He can scream and yet he can softly sing at the same time
I definitely feel he's gotten some of these lessions bc like, have you heard his voice in interviews during the Iowa era? His voice was so messed up.
@@prayingforplagues you're completely right. He has so much more control these days.
In my opinion I don't think he is the greatest singer to have better lived but he's defo god tier, he is the master at false chords. Layne Staley is the best singer ever.
@@prayingforplagues from 99 to 02 he was literally just yelling and then applying distortion in his throat, which is why those early vocals are so powerful on those early records, but he really fucked himself up for a bit after that. I've played around with imitating them and it literally HURTS to get though an entire song because of that method. Now he fry screams like a smart person lol
@@liamaldrich2476 Yup. Unfortunately the screaming on those first three albums sound better to me than anything after. Once he started trying to do things properly it lost a lot of the rawness and emotion which made me love it. From the Self Titled and Iowa where he’s just ripping his vocal cords apart. To Vol 3 where he’s just unnaturally raising the pitch of his voice. Now it feels like the screaming has lost a lot of the feeling it used to have. Almost like it’s more of an instrument than it is an emotion.
Why so many downvotes? Melissa Cross has helped a great many vocalists find their sound without damaging their voices, and has helped vocalists recover their voices after years of bad habits. This lady is a legend!
"I was a hippie, we lost the way. These kids, they know the way, they got it for real." god damn that was the most real statement I've heard in a while. She's got my respect.
She s damn cool.
3:28 the reasons she gives for her love of metal, perfect answer to give when people ask “how can you like that noise”
Btw such a kickass punk rock sounding statement lol
Everyone loves metal. They just don't know it yet. My mom hated metal until I introduced her to Nightwish and my brother to Dragon Force.
i used to not really like metal and hardcore but as ive gotten older i have grown to appreciate it in a way i don’t think i could when i was younger
0:14 wait she worked with movements? I love Patrick Miranda holy shit his screams feel so organic and natural I love them
What song is he performing in the video?
@@RaimundN52 Worst Wishes!
@@drinalco Thank you for this reply. And Thank you @Rayski for asking.
This comment section is why people dislike the metal scene.
To elaborate more, it's because everyone is putting down whichever metal each person prefers. It's so off putting. You listen to what you listen to. Who gives a shit. No need to be like "METALLICA IS TRUE METAL!" Or "DEATH METAL IS TRASH". It's so pointless.
Good, please continue to hate it and stay away with your bullshit
Bitnah nah metal is not meant to be liked by everyone.
Marcel D'Avis I meant the people in it not the music.
Joe P. I'm probably an outlier case because I came from a town close to the city where the metal/punk group made up the popular crowd of the HS.
When i saw Beartooth I was like HELL YEAH... One of my favorite bands :DD
YEAH MAN BEARTOOTH IS BEST
Caleb produced an album for Come the Dawn. One of the best sounding albums I've ever heard from front to back. Band "reinvented" itself and went through a name change. Do not like. Wish we could get more of their first album sound with Caleb at the helm in the studio.
But, silvertooth...
MATTYYYYYYY ♥️♥️
I love the fact that the vocal coach pointed out that this kind of music comes from the heart and not a mindset of money and pleasure the ‘media’.
this lady’s so pure omg, i can’t believe how short the video is too!!! (as i was typing it literally ended abruptly:( )
1:20 her hands are unintentionally doing the horns, true metalhead.
"I love metal because it's so natural, so untainted" - "They make the mistake of singing their emotions, I show them how to fake it"
i get it, but it sounds funny XD
liquidminds it's the same with classical singing. You can sing your emotions but you can't let your emotions affect your body and its functions.
6S F the balance you want the best you have to give it your whole body. You want be 80% there then yeah you can play it safe. And yeah that's good enough but that's not someone giving everything to there art
Her understanding and appreciation for the sincerity in a lot of metal genres was actually moving. This is awesome.
Been a big fan of metalcore for 15 years and I love how she helped so many bands I love sustain their vocals
Movements and Beartooth!!! WOOO
Metal, post hardcore etc is my fav music and always will be 🤘🏻
kayla amaya Hi! You know by any chance the name of the song that plays in the video? I really liked them! ^^
@@Grrrr1997
The Beartooth song was called Body Bag. Idk what the Movements song was called though
Jazzman G Thank you!!
Jazzman G movements “worst wishes” i believe
@@KelWh Thanks
I agree with every single word that she said right there! 3:25 She is awesome!!
She didn't just help those bands, like Beartooth or Memphis May Fire but big guys like Corey Taylor from SLIPKNOT
W h a t
hearing her passion for these people and this genre of music which is often looked down upon or completely misunderstood is absolutely beautiful
I feel like this video could have been much longer and included more of her techniques and interactions with singers.
The techniques are what she sells as her instructional products. So at very least that's why they didn't include more of those, because never do for free what people will pay for.
This was so much more wholesome and positive than I thought it would be, totally want to watch more!
As someone who is also a classically trained singer and who teaches classical voice, everything she is teaching in this video is 100% legit, and could be used in a classical lesson.
I remember "The Zen of Screaming" back in the day. This chick is OG for sure.
I randomly bumped into her before the Eluveitie show in NYC two days ago and said hi. So cool and unexpected, she seemed really sweet. Just from her presence you can tell that she's loved and respected by not only the artists but by their fans as well.
This woman is a legend, please teach me about growling lol
Why don't you ask Dave Growl?
Yay!, now i can pretend to be a velociraptor without having to explain why my voice hurts. ^_^
What an absolutely lovely person! Hope she helps more bands in the future
Melissa Cross is awesome! I practice her Zen of Screaming warmups every day and it's helped so much
All the people debating on how these bands aren't metal but nobody mentions how far melissa cross has come. Btw Meshuggah has screaming , is that still to lame ?
Marilyn Hanson do you seriously not hear the difference between the two
The screaming isn't what makes it core...
Marilyn Hanson buddy you missed the point. The difference between Meshuggah and Memphis Mayfire goes way beyond the screaming...
Comparing metalcore to Meshuggah is like comparing Katy perry to Andrew bird
Screaming has nothing to do with a band being metal or not.
3:22 How he goes from the screaming to singing is talent. It really shows how controlled the vocals are. I don't listen to metal, but I can appreciate his skillfulness
Simone whats the song?
@@12345themadguy The Sinner
I remember her videos popping up back 08 man shes still kicking ass, thats awesome
"non tainted" "real and straight from the heart" is literately the perfect description

Sherry Robson Yea Most certainly haha
Just Ignore it.
Thanks for the warning, I was about to scroll down.
UA-cam.
Great video. The thing that struck me was at the end when the guy says Hi San Antonio how are you doing? I lived in San Antonio in the 60’s through the mid 80’s and let me tell you they love their heavy metal. The River City is a Heavy Metal City.
Nothing makes me happier or gives me more hope for the future than when a member of the past generations tips their hat to the youth. "I was a hippie, and we lost the way, and these kids, they know the way" that's fucking beautiful.
because of some of these comments, i'm going to start calling nickleback metal.
kodiak wild
You sir gave me a huge idea of a way to treat poser dumbass elitists... You have my respect
kodiak wild Nickleback is definitely weeping into their millions because you don't like their music.
I tried calling nickleback, but there was no reply.

i need a full series of this
She is a legend and so loving & understanding!! I love how she isn’t judgmental. I’ve loved metal for so long. Since I was a child, I’ve always wanted to learn how to scream properly like this. This was really helpful for me ❤
The zen of screaming! I remember her dvd!
Metal is dead because of these elitist in the comments. WTF, Let people enjoy what they want.
TheFirstNobody more like you want to have your own little niche so you can think youre better than anyone else who likes it. You alienate even people in your group by saying they arent true meatheads so that you can make your little group even smaller to make you feel good about yourself
Not dead and not the reason it would die but ok.
Adriel San Juan metal is dead because trash like that is called "metal"
Adriel San Juan You have no idea what metal is.
Sorry but not ever one likes melodic death metal, or power, or symphonic or doom. Sure in Europe they might. But the USA is not Europe and many of those bands in those genres are underground.
"It's just so real, it's straight from the heart." Best quote about metal ever.
When he said “vocal coach” I immediately remembered The Holistic Vocal Coach of X factor😂
Ariel.and she is NOT A NUMBER 😂😂😂😂😂
Here come the metal elitists that think they can define metal for everyone.
I love metal so much, always have, always will. God bless this woman
No matter how many times this come across my feed.. I will always!!! Watch it.. from start to finish
Best line for metal approval.... "I was a hippie and we lost the way. These kids know the way, they got it for real."
I love how she said she was a hippy back in the day and lost the way. Then said we were the ones that understood it and knew the way. Love the paradoxical comparisons. The nu gen hippies 🤘✌️🌈
i love what she said about metal at the end thats the reason i got into metal its perfect raw emotion that people always mistake for anger
She deserves a place in the Hall of Fame - she is virtually a life saver!
