Rock Singers... advice needed

[Andrew Lamprecht]

I have just started getting into singing.... I'm pretty good I think... at least better than I thought I was....

Anyway... I will most likely be singing in a rock context...

How the hell do you scream? haha I can get a good voice but whenever I try to go over the top or get a gritty scream, my voice just cracks or goes way out of tune.... really quickly.

I don't plan to sing like Maynard but I want to know if I can even do it... Like I said, I think I sound good singing...... I just can't scream and I want to scream lol.

If your voice is cracking, you should stop trying it like that. Try get the power of the scream/yell from your chest and abdomen as you can rather than your throat, and just practice until you can do it well.

Cigarettes and whiskey.





(Not really, those are terrible for your voice)

Take vocal lessons. Get your vocal chords in shape to sing. Learn to breathe properly when singing. Once the basics are down and your range is discovered, you'll know if you can scream or not.

There's no overnight advice anyone can give you. It took me years to learn how to do that properly. Not only that but switch back and forth styles in one set. All I can say is to start with the very basics and develop from there. No matter how good you think you are, you should definitely keep having regular vocal coaching.

Worst advice ever. All the power comes from your diaphragm and you can even enhance it by expanding the sides of your ribs.

Learn to breathe properly when singing.

That's the most important part.

Once the basics are down and your range is discovered, you'll know if you can scream or not.

Every one can scream/growl/shout whatever.

Have you ever heard of Melissa Cross? She's a vocal teacher and specializes on screaming techniques. She got some really helpful videos on the web and even 2 DVDs. Some of the most amazing and successful vocalists have taken lessons with her.

It's impossible to teach you how to scream just by typing it. I really suggest you watch Melissa's DVDs. And don't give up It's really hard in the beginnig but with the time, you'll learn how it's done!
