I also sing/scream in a band, and I have been doing vocals for more than 10 years now (I'm 24). Basically, relax. Don't use as much force as you think you will need. The actual "scream" is more of an illusion than anything. It's a whisper with balls and some extra grit behind it. Start with a whisper, and then push a little harder and tighten your vocal chords, but keep them loose as the same time (kind of confusing, but once you get it, you'll understand). You can let the mic do most of the work for you. Turn it up good and loud so you don't have to push to get a nice mean, powerful sound. This will save your chords from damage and keep you able to keep going. This is especially important if you sing also like me. Watch the "Zen of Screaming" video series. Those help if you are new to the whole thing. It took me a while to get the hang of it. Oh, and one more thing. Look into buying a compressor. It will help immensely with the technique. It brings low-level vocals up and makes them sound more powerful, while still keeping the sound of your natural voice. I own a DBX myself.
haha no a big gut doesnt matter
see a vocal coach itll help
a. learn to scream
b. learn to growl
c. learn to get mad when you sing
Nice question, but basically, if your going for a As I Lay Dying kinda thrash, its out of your throat and your gut. a bigger gut helps some people, but in all honesty it just depends if your voice will allow you to do this naturally. For me, i pinch my vocal chords and basically just blow out. Take it like your pissed and you are yelling at someone to stop doing something you absolutly hate.
Email if you need more help.
