How to use your DIAPHRAGM

[TheBleedingFace]

Finally someone who explains it without all the bullcrap

[shadowheartworrior]

great vid bro, very helpful (: btw I love your hair its like a short version of mine! real sweet :D

[theshadowdirector]

You still think we have an empire? lol

[mikester245]

finally someone who gets to the fucking point i got mad respect for you bro you scream likea beast

[EpicMarty101]

Diaphragm part was almost right... -.-

It's right in between where your ribs connect and your belly button

[Candelariiio]

Actually thats not where you diaphram is, next video

[foozzys]

if i ever get famous for my singing(probably wont) i'm gonna tell them instead of expensive lessons, i used pashsantiy

[iChelseaGrinnedJesus]

So what I just flex my abs the entire time that I'm screaming?

[EpicMarty101]

@iChelseaGrinnedJesus

That's not completely correct

When you sigh for a long time, suddenly you'll feel some pain in your stomache (or at least that area)

That would be your diaphragm

What you wanna do is to create that feeling and turn it into a scream

You don't necessarely have to flex your abs, but that's the way I scream

[TheLresistance]

he's high.

[khanavor666]

dude you look like matt bellamy in this vid, thanks by the way

[possiblevirtues]

If I get dizzy am I doing it wrong?

[genuinebbuck]

@possiblevirtues Not breathing enough, don't try too hard.

[possiblevirtues]

@genuinebbuck thanks a lot :D

[mc2alfawolf]

when im at the point i feel it rumbeling in my chest instead of throat it starts hurting my throat

WTF?

[Thandrius1]

@mc2alfawolf It's in the begingin the throat is't used to the thing. Beacuse it's something new and something unknow for the throat! :D

[Jansperus]

Thank you for this video! I'm trying to use my diaphragm and it's good to see an example of it.

[Anthony15481]

Some people talk low naturally.. there is no way to make their voice louder then what it already is.

[linkinpark96ify]

Marry me?? Ahaha

[linkinpark96ify]

[DropDEADprince]

[sollanoramone]

Hey man, just here to tell you that it's been two years since you've posted this here, and you are still helping A LOT of people, I'm from fuckin Brazil, and you're helping me too. Thanks!

[LowleyUK]

I kept laughing to myself whilst doing the growl, now I feel light headed lol. Thanks for the informative video though.

[Canweolliethat]

SHITTT.. im reading the comments and at 7:11 im just like CRAP WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!

[lucko1999]

Is it ok to start practicing with 12 years?

[youmeatsix6]

@lucko1999 because your young. your voice hasnt really developed to its deepest voice, i learnt how to do screamo when i was around 12, maybe 13, and i struggled alot and had to leave it, and started back up when my voice was deeper, but that was just me, u could be different, everyone has something that can restrict some start and get it quick, when i started it took me ages

[jcsnoopy]

Hey thanks dude I like this help a lot. Also, do I do the same thing for high screams?

[Darkn3ssOfTheVoid]

@StayTruthful A little bit, but you should really try doing like breathing exercises, I have a video right here of one I found just today that helped me a little bit.

[Footzbeulchris]

Dude I wasn't paying attention for a minute and you SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!

[Timmycide]

@maitalr Get your singing, then pronounce your screams.. This guy literary taught me how to scream and I recently put up a vid showing what practice can make.

[Timmycide]

@maitalr Also! You sound A LOT diff on mic then what you hear from your ears, so record yourself then see how it sounds.

[maitalr]

@Timmycide

[blah3189]

[darkflamerpunkboy]

[drink111]

[WpA09]

[RippednNTan]

You should be a diaphragm doctor or therapist.

[stevenmael]

[ThatAsianAcrossTheSt]

your a genius. this helped me a lot

[fbijk11]

i cant even do that exesize very raspy help!

[hardcorefierysoul]

how do u pronounce words while growling or grunting

[Nightcrawlerinsweden]

@hardcorefierysoul really just practise it will work itself out just dont do anything weird when starting saying words while growling just keep the feeling the same

[hardcorefierysoul]

@Nightcrawlerinsweden ok so i guess i will just practise growling and then saying the words will come. But wht cn i do tht would be weird exactly?

[Nightcrawlerinsweden]

@hardcorefierysoul just keep your throat and feeling the same as when you do the excercises without lyrics so that you dont start tightening in some weird way or so. i did that in the beginning its easy to get off the track if you understand what i mean ;) also check out many different videos with different excercises different people work with different ways

[hardcorefierysoul]

i am planning on doing death growls in my band will this help?

[Knaeuel10]

...doing some crazy stuff like Muse, for example.

Since then, i liked your video :D

MUSE!

[MyPirateHeart]

I came to this video from your other 'Singing with a rasp' video and your hair surprised me...(as much as hair can) after a few moments though I got used to it, now I thinks its lovely. Then I went back to the 'rasp' video and your Mohawk shocked me then I got used to that...now if I come back here I will probs be like 'Oh wow dude! Look at your hair' yet again...it's a mindfuck!

But anyway all your videos are amazing and v. helpful

[ArcticBalls]

awsome tutorial...

thanks bro...

[metalhead11209]

hey help me out? i just learned scream vocals today and im getting the hang of it. but when i go for a high scream(or w.e u prefer to call it) i have a raspy sound in my throat and it makes me sound like Little Nickey. Any advice?

[Tyjaka]

dude sick hair

[IbePigman]

the proper way to learn to scream.

Learn to natural scream

NOT learn pitches first

then incorporate the pitches once you can natural scream so u dont fuck up your voice

[melancholyinsomniac]

I. Love. You. xD

No really, this made sense, and made me laugh

[Aelitalover94]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!! lmfaoo I'm a screamer in training :)

[carsonhhh]

@mackattack1231 your not getting enough air.

[steeltoto]

Hey man- your tutorial was very helpful. I'm just having a bit of trouble with growling. I'm trying to get it in my chest, but I feel rumbling in my throat. It hurts a bit to, so I've stopped altogether. Is there any advice you could give please?

[carsonhhh]

@steeltoto i am 13. my brother is bestfriends with showbread.i have been screaming for 4 years now.and just drink plenty of water.and it might hurt because your not disnorting it.which means to stop after it hits higher notes.because if your screaming you want low notes.just drink plenty of water and practice breathing excrises

[BaraPontus2LOL]

lol, just go to /user/blixish

that dude helped me with my growling, he's the best, seriously

[strawberrychiick3]

YOUR FUCKING EPIC :D

[robthomaspattinson]

I give a shit about these videos... ;) You're awesome! :)

[soundslikemusic3]

aweasome man!!! THANKS!!!!

[Kreamy1995]

Hey sooo... I'm trying to Growl right, and I've been doing it for a while... The only thing is... I'm not sure how to make the rumble go down to my chest... I'm not even sure if maybe I'm already doing it... So if you could, go to my my page and check it out, tell me if I'm doing something wrong... That'd help alot... Thanks

[xXscopefrostyXx]

Oh and um if you get the raspy grunt or growl lower down ur lungs

It's gonna fuck up

Ur suppose to get more up like around ur nasal area so u wont get hurt and it'll be louder xD

[carsonhhh]

@xXscopefrostyXx you dont need it loud. when you are first learning . your just trying to get the hang growling.and then you are paceing your vocal cords to get louder

[xXscopefrostyXx]

Holy shit haha xD

U have no idea what a diaphragm does huh

xD ah that's funni

It doesn't take air in and it doesnt push it ouut

It's just a muscle around the rib cage that when u use it can open ur lungs more.....obviously allowing more air into your lungs

U were right about ur diaphragm being able to get u a steady yet powerful airflow

It just doesn take in air xD it's just such a steady muscle that u can control your airflow

Easier

[mortaljay666]

look up Miss Hannah Minx's for goth goodness :-)

[HeavyMetalAndWhiskey]

When I do is I get light headed. Will this change over time with practice?

[carsonhhh]

@HeavyMetalAndWhiskey yes that will go away over time.You go lightheaded because you lose breath.practice breathing exercises

[jhomabelido18]

YOU ROCK DUDE!

[CraziiDago]

I thought about calling you a Fag, then I scrolled down and saw the thousands of comments saying the same thing. I'll let it go.

On second thought, fag.

[Shiiheadbrett]

right here...right here haha xD but this helped, thank you =D

[brittanybreakdown100]

Ha sounds awesome:) your hot u should do ur hair like this again just saying :P

[botc3po]

[dlmyers17]

Lol. Terrible vocal demonstration.

[velenvskaelhas]

i think he got possessed....

[roughneckband]

6:10 made my diaphragm laugh. I was sitting there doing the breathing than just laughed right through the whole thing. good shit

[patrickzarocker]

Killer video man,

You explain yourself much better than some of my damn vocal teachers :p

im really interested in learning more from ya dude, ima subscribe and just keep me up to date,

keep up the good work with the screaming.

[thenyappymaker]

@PashSanity: am i doing it right?? cuz ive done the angry sigh now for about 10 minutes, and my throat hurts. does it meen im doing it wrong??

[igloo50]

I do diaphragm screams and growls, but I've conditioned my throat (somehow) to scream through the throat without it hurting

[MrRaring]

Thank you! I will practice this till I'll get it and finally start my own death metal band! :)

[nonibandoni]

Hey everyone.

I've been doing vocals in a death metal band, yet I've constantly had a problem. After about 6 songs or so, my throat starts to hurt like hell. And I honestly, after doing vocals in that band for close to a year now, don't know how to use my diaphragm. And I don't see what all these people are getting as, I try to do all these "sighing" excersises yet I always lose the rasp after maybe, five seconds: Any advice would be very, very, very appreciated. ^^

[Zintendo]

i'm getting sweaty, laughing attacks because i'm high and i can finally death metal, thanks to you telling me to push the vibrations from my throat down to my chest. It is MUCH deeper now, and I will start practicing. Holy fuck, thanks.

[Oda7Fengkai7]

I scream 5 songs or something and after that my throat starts to hurt. I think that I am doing it the wrong way, am I?

[FallenInFaith]

Cheers Dude Helped Me Heaps Now I Can Get my Grown Out Cheers And Iv Subscribed Bro Hope U Hav Some Sick Vids To Come Peace

[RhewBleiddiad]

@pashsanity well I can do this rasp shit that the voice comes so growly like,I use the tachnique false chord scream,I hope I do ;D it right!.I am trying to use the diaphragm.But I am not sure if I do use it....When you breath with diaphragm is your belly suppposed to fill with air right?And if you do fell it filling with air you just push with your abdominal muscles?

[chaoshawk40]

I Can never get the distorting sound, even with sighing it soudns like im fucking constipated. Any Advice ?

[sNiPezZxxSpade490]

was it a lil cold in there ;)

[mattmullertherocker]
