You can’t learn to scream by copying records. A record gives you somebody else’s result, not the experience of making it. I teach what a scream feels like from the inside when you sound it, not what it sounds like after it comes out of your mouth, so you find your own voice. So I took 2 exercises I work with my artists and made them free of charge. The first teaches the experience of uninterrupted flow of sound. The second one combines articulation work with support and stamina. Under 5 minutes, and it’s free. If you want it, the link is in my bio. #vocalcoach #screaming #vocalwarmup #metalvocals Vastgezet

I named fry screaming in 2004. Most people still think it's a sound. It isn't. It's something your vocal folds do, and you can learn to do it on purpose. Fry Screaming, From the Source: live on Zoom, Saturday Nov 14, 3 PM ET. Every ticket includes the recording. melissacross.com/fry #fryscream #howtoscream #screaming #vocalcoach #metalvocals

How does Corey Taylor from @slipknotscream? Not with one scream. Hybrid, false cord and fry, sometimes in one line. Understand your instrument and come up with your own recipe. Fry screaming, live on Zoom Nov 14: melissacross.com/fry #howtoscream #fryscream #screaming

This is a story I hear all the time. While in high school @wschamberlain could scream at band practice, but doing it night after night on a tour was a different story. When we started working together, I showed him it’s an actual skill. There’s a proper way to do it, so your voice holds up every night. I start everyone with fry, because it’s the optimal way to learn any scream, and on Saturday, November 14 I’m teaching it live on Zoom. It’s called Fry Screaming, From the Source, and every ticket includes the recording. Link’s in my bio. And if you want the whole conversation with Spencer, that’s on my YouTube.

Before the show. Right after the show. Do you hear a difference? Thank you, @Daughtry, for letting us hear what a voice sounds like when it’s doing its job. Most singers expect their voice after a show to sound “shot,” a little raspy, a little lower, and they wear that like a badge, proof they gave it everything. When you push through a show with a goal of being “louder” than guitars and drums, technique gets replaced with swelling. Guarantee: you won’t like the result, sonically or physically. You are left with only hope that you can get through the rest of the set! If you want a place to start, the free Starter Toolbox is 2 exercises in under 5 minutes.

Spee lost his voice twice before we met. That was 2006, when he brought me the demos for Define the Great Line. Twenty years of @Underoath later, it has never happened again. He still runs the warm-up I gave him back then before every show, practice and recording session. I call him my poster child. The full conversation is on YouTube at the link in the bio.

David Draiman of @disturbed might be the best singer in the world, depending on who you ask. He was trained in the classical tradition and the words “Sing from your diaphragm!” was repeated ad nauseum. Even non-singers still hear this advice as the gold standard. The universe has since sent countless memos to the contrary. However, the word of voice pedagogy is steeped in the glorification and traditions of legendary classical singing of the 18th and 19th century, the beauty of which has not faded. Along with the worship of the artistry comes an assumption that it is necessary to “do what they did” to facilitate the results they got. But there are so many considerations:   1. Classical singing doesn’t involve a microphone. 2. The aesthetic of classical music favors beauty over authenticity. 3. The vowel shapes do not sound like the vowels used in everyday conversation.   If you are a great contemporary singer and you have a singing diaphragm, that is wonderful for you! However, if you are a voice teacher, you have a responsibility to impart evidence-based protocol appropriate for the actual person before you, and not some anecdotal theory that works great for you.   No doubt, the diaphragm IS very much a part of respiration. The control of airflow does involve consistency and STABILITY. That stability is an integral part of the sub-glottal pressure that is required for phonation of any kind. However, a conscious choreographed manipulation of the diaphragm is confusing advice for students, who will engage their own recipe of intercostal acrobatics to convince themselves that they are being compliant. The self-consciousness alone in that strategy is a deal breaker for excellence.   Classical singing is a fantastic way to train the voice, particularly for young people. I have no regrets, and now I understand that the difficulty I experienced with it involved separating the stylistic from the mechanical attributes in an attempt to generalize to benefit my own music.   What advice works or doesn’t work for you?  Let’s talk about it!

The thing that I wish I did not have to keep repeating over? 👉 “Fry screaming” is my original term referring to a VERY specific true vocal fold (TVF) “source” maneuver. The way I saved Garrett from vocal an annihilation is teaching him fry screaming - but he doesn't exclusively do fry screaming. He does EVERYTHING better because he learned the nuanced coordination involved doing fry screaming. In “fry screaming” there is no periodicity in the wave. In this way only is it like “pulse” register or “vocal fry”. The Mode 2 posture at TVF is what distinguishes “fry screaming”. Coordination between a stable sub-glottal pressure with the simultaneous suspension of a pre-oscillatory pattern at TVF in Mode 2 enables an access to a profoundly compelling bouquet of higher frequencies that are so much easier to produce. Having a command and cognition of one’s own TVF source function precipitates a razor sharp exacting tool that keeps your sh*t together, so you can use the “force,” not force the force. It’s not about I am a fry screamer or I am a false cord screamer. If you talk like that, you are clueless and completely missing the point. The sound is not the “end” - it is the means to the end- that being COMMUNICATION. And if any of this doesn’t make sense to you - come learn more at the link in my bio! #vocalcoach #extremevocals #singing #singinglessons #vocaltraining #metalvocals #metalmusic

The pathway to claiming your truth as a vocalist is acquiring solid technique. Solid means spontaneous, unconscious and reflexive; where confidence replaces every limitation. The vocal that we hear on Bad Omens' third record is undeniably a perfect example of how better technique allows genius to emerge from the derivative to the sublime. And it doesn't stop there! You can learn this technique too.

On June 17, 2014, a very expensive high-speed Pentax Medical camera recorded (in slow motion) the true vocal fold (TVF) maneuver that I named “fry screaming” in my 2005 DVD “The Zen of Screaming”. This was a special day indeed, because this laryngoscopy substantiated what had been a merely intuitive hypothesis relating to the screaming strategy that had been working well for my major label clients that I'd already been teaching for over a decade.  Fry screaming continues to be misrepresented by all but one online voice teacher (shout out: @Andy Cizek). Not only is it misrepresented, but some of the training is HARMFUL. A million plus views, but ZERO professional clients should give you a hint. Garrett of Silent Planet is walking proof of the profound relief from the paralyzing fear of not being able to finish the set (or the tour) into the confident, centered brutal screamer that he is. Check them out on tour or stream the ‘Superbloom’ record. Fry screaming is not the only correct way to scream. However, it is the only way to learn screaming and you can learn it too - check the link in my bio! #vocalcoach #extremevocals #singing #singinglessons #vocaltraining #metalvocals #metalmusic

The most amazing feeling in the world is when the voice bolts like a lightning laser across a venue of fans. Voice is a powerful and healing gift. Self-consciousness greatly diminishes that power. Eddie Hermida of Suicide Silence has rock solid technique that never fails him, even on those days when crippled with self-doubt (he is a humble human, like so many great performers). Technique harbors confidence. Confidence is the only way to become fully present. The only path to excellence is technique. Acquiring technique involves repeating exercises that coordinate the moving parts so that they generalize in performance/recording experience. The Deep Dive has ALL the exercises! Get it now at the link in my bio and get started on your path to excellence ‼️ #vocalcoach #extremevocals #singing #singinglessons #vocaltraining #metalvocals #metalmusic
