METAL/HARDCORE SCREAMS?!
Question:
METAL/HARDCORE SCREAMS?
OK, I've been asked into a band where they want me to sing but they also need me to scream. The screaming I am referring to can be found in bands like As I Lay Dying, Underoath or Killswitch Engage. But I am thinking about this dvd called "The Zen Of Screaming. Just I needed to know things like. Are they actually like yelling yelling or just using their voice to sound like they are. Because I have a really deep voice and they want me to sound somewhat like Spencer Chamberlain and I hope I can achieve that. I absolutley his style. So if anyone can give me some pointers that would be really great. Thanks soooo much.
Answers:
Well, you should learn to sing regularly first, to get the diaphram going. If you use your diaphram and throat, you can preserve your voice longer.
PS: Some people do better with high vocals, and some do better with lower vocals. If your voice is low, I'm guessing that you can do better with growling (sort of a Cannibal Corpse or Deicide style).
