BEST How-To Scream #1: Beginner (Part 1 of 2) [FALSE CHORD]

[Mirozenx]

this is by far the best tutorial and explaination on youtube! thankyou so so much!

[brandonkennedybmx]

@Mirozenx thanks! glad it helps you guys. in preparation for the professional level video i made this one asking what you guys want to learn / how you learn - check it out if you're interested in greatly improving your techniques. also some good vocal tips in the vid /watch?v=P9ICZAFjq-8

[Mirozenx]

@brandonkennedybmx can you please do a video on how to do that mid/high scream used by bands like august burns red? thanks that'd be epic

[cheezfried]

@Mirozenx August Burns Red use Power Fry, To do power fry make the grudge noise and push it up, That is a fry scream, Practice that then try to yell with the fry scream and thats a power fry.

[Mirozenx]

when i do high inhales i just get a horrible squeaky croak :L

[Amandaahhej]

the vid really good, but i still suck ..

[42ndPaperclip]

it's always awkward learning this stuff in a college dorm. People probably wonder what's going on in my room.

[kimsangwan123]

awesome!!!!!!!!

[theANNOYINGcomment]

i sound like an angry lion :P

[cyanidesicky]

Your intro is really good, I was skeptical at first. I'm looking forward to learning from this :)

[Blazhex]

I can do the tongue thing but my voice box doesn't move wtf D':

[TheTexasMessiah]

Too much about the N word :P

[KingButtCheekz]

7:48 for boobs <3

[BjurstromRyan]

Bmth blows. just sayin

[MrTheUVINATOR]

fuck canada :)



[ayeayeish]

whats that thing moving at the top left corner at 3:25 ??

[o0OShadowMCO0o]

@ayeayeish spit maybe ? XD

[ZeTaEXiSTeNZ]

Press 4 twice, then press 7 four times! ;)

[Mirozenx]

@ZeTaEXiSTeNZ you forgot to say press 5 'jizz'

[iChelseaGrinnedJesus]

My lows literally sound like roars,is that how they are suppose to sound when you first start doing them?

[angelicbaby92]

@iChelseaGrinnedJesus It's a death metal, extreme metal, black, or gothic metal screaming. It's really an underground type of screaming so actually not a lot of people are used to this screaming, but it's what I do! And in my opinion, I like it better, but I actually use both false chord and vocal fry (though I kind of suck in it) depending on the part in the song. You can see how my roars sound on my channel. XD

[SuicideSilenceeee]

thanks man this helped alot

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

I can do it, but for only 4 seconds

[TheVodica]

"oout" hehe :D good vid thought

[MAGNASWAG]

i tried the tongue thing and my throat did nothing. also i gagged. fml.

[InThisHorizonASD]

This dude is smart :D lol

[LostNtheMelodies]

did you see horizions? :D

[rseagles14]

Does Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage do false chord?

[etzinii]

NOO MOOM!! IM  NOT WATCHING PORN!

[runepkr855]

Wow I went on holiday for a while, I come back and I can't really scream anymore. I had decent gutterals and now I can't do shit :(

[EliasOwnage95]

My stomach only goes out when i sit and breath like that, but when i stand i dont see it pop out but i can still do it good

[rogeke1o6]

wait i dont realy get it you need to hold your voice box down ???

how the hell to you get sound out then ????

[danishfruit]

i want to kiss those pretty lips :P

[DANIELISOCKS]

I've watched about every screaming video on YouTube, and this one is definitely the best. You don't just talk about making strange noises, you actually go into detail about the diaphragm, throat position, everything like that. So far I can do everything you've talked about. Love it. :)

[Lokiism13]

I ended up whistling when doing this 3:21 .....

[524coconut]

haha your accents cool. when you suck the air oot

[Disterric23]

dude you explained this really well, nice job!

[DarthKahuna]

I've been a harsh vocalist for about 3 years and didn't realize why it strained me so much until I saw this video. Thanks man! Now I don't sound constipated!

[SCMusic15]

Hey i know this is like a tutorial and all, and its kinda weird asking this, but I dont get HOW to START? Like how does a beginner just randomly start? What should i start with?

[cdplayar]

@SCMusic15 Start with frys, they're ab it easier

[SCMusic15]

@cdplayar I dont really like frys. They used to sound great but now they sound horrible and they hurt my throat!

[SCMusic15]

@cdplayar I kinda started with them, they used to soound pretty good, but then they began to sound horrible and they were hurting my throat!

[cdplayar]

@SCMusic15 WEll you can't practice too hard, you have to build up a tolerence and such, I fry and it only hurts now after like, an hour!

[RioUchiha]

You're not that good but you teach well.

[BrootalViking]

fale chords, ay?

[synysterdeathbat0]

I've seen this a few times, but this is the first time i'm logged in, lol.

Anyway, i wanted to tell you that i'm really interested in vocal techniques, and im trying to get better for my band, and i found this a really helpful video man! very useful, and helpful.

[teragreg]

CANADA!

[Javeness]

good vocalists, Bring Me The Horizon? lololololol

[DaRkRiOt32123]

@Javeness don't be a noob he Oli Sykes used to be insane.

[Javeness]

@DaRkRiOt32123 Lolwut

[bieds2011]

so im fat, and its really really hard telling if im getting air in my diaphraghm, lmao

[Hulkklogan]

@bieds2011 You should be able to feel it

[Reminiscence71]

@bieds2011 Frankly, fat people have an easier time singing and screaming.

[bassplayer773]

@bieds2011 same

[raquel1234ful]

ya canada !

[bxxch10]

Wait, WTF was that on the left at 3:25? Looks like a fairy

[Stickgoncraz]

@bxxch10 Lol, I see the same thing at 3:25... looks like just like rain ran across the top-left corner.

[monkeykid54]

When i scream i feel like im gonna vomit.... Does anybody know why and what im doin wrong? :(

[MarkDoesWork]

@monkeykid54 Screaming wrong. x.x (joking)

What I do is I open my mouth fully open and bounce the sound kind of off the back of my throat gently like when I sing. You scream like you sing, basically. The distortion for me is sort of just a rumbling I cause in my vocal chords with my airflow when I push from my diaphragm. Care for a tutorial? Im not amazing, but I can do it if youd like.

[monkeykid54]

@MarkDoesWork lolz id love to see a tutorial. ^.^ thank you!

[MarkDoesWork]

@monkeykid54 I made one. I'll upload it. Sorry to say, its very repetitious, but i demonstrated how similar the breathing is with screams and with vocals by doing both and then explained to the best of my abilities the mechanics of my scream. I'll upload it, but im sorry if its really a bad tutorial. Didnt know exactly how to explain all of it, you know?

[MarkDoesWork]

@monkeykid54 It's up on my youtube. Let me know if it helps.

[MrLive2scream]

I got dizzy lol

Now i know how oli sykes felt when he did that sick breakdown and fell down... xD

[FuckingLettuce]

@GiovannyGenocide You need to take more air, use your diaphragm to breath, don't use your throat for screamig, use your stomach ;)

[MattPurkis]

I always call it 'the dump' because of mellisa cross , her exercises are good , but she never actualy teaches you to false , shes to obsesed with fry ^-^ nice vid.

[MattPurkis]

@GiovannyGenocide practise holding your breath , thats a lack of oxygen getting to your brain dude. you need to increase lung capacity.

[sephirothdun]

the first few minutes are pretty cool, i like to know these little facts

[ThuggishRocker]

this got really weird at 5 and half mins haha

[Screamo2095]

lol 0:46 hes like MOM SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!! you could see it in his EYES! lol

[HowWeCameToBe17]

This was nine mins and thirteen secs waisted from my life that ill never get back.

[bleachfan1234567a]

You're fucking awesome man ! that's a very informative tutorial

[ltownrocker133]

I was screaming, and i got dizzy.

[firebird1993]

@ltownrocker133 you are breathing to fast lol, calm down

[xxiMusicManxxi]

@ltownrocker133 yeah mate that happens dont worry, its just that your brain isnt getting enough oxygen cause your singing/screaming it happens with everyone even rappers sooo its just something that comes with being a vocalist and its a matter of getting used too

[jmania21]

@ltownrocker133 I had that problem too, and an easy way to counter that is 1. Eat and wait an hour before screaming or 2. dont force the screams out to hard because you'll use up all your air therefore lowering the amount of oxygen to your brain.

[ltownrocker133]

CANADA!!!

[lvr4softballl]

The voice box thingy helped a lot :)

[virusdetection]

i cant move my voice box down :[

[firebird1993]

@virusdetection you just dont know HOW yet :)

[firebird1993]

you just dont know HOW yet :)

[effrainm]

those mouth noises sound disgusting

[CharlieCrucifix]

I laughed so hard at the "I can't really see what I'm doing so uh....can you see I can't really tell what's happening."

[popytherev]

that tip with the chest helped me a lot! thanks great vid

[JeffreyDrumpants]

6:25 peewee herman.

[RawkBanderz]

When doing the voice box dropping, I think it's much easier explained by saying to open your throat. If you sing a note, and do this, it should really deepen the sound and add a lot of resonance. It's a very common technique on woodwind and brass instruments to get a better tone.

I like how many of the basic concepts I learned in my first few years of band transfer over perfectly.

[Lentsku]

how can i "discover" the false cords to use them? and if u push the air with the muscle thingy does the scream just come or will u need to do something for it?

[XxKonanChan101xX]

I like watching your tummy breathe in and out, it makes me giggle(:

[CrankDatax3]

@MakeshiftWings39 Thanks a lot (:

[CrankDatax3]

Heyho . I´ve got a question.Do you know Alexisonfire? What type of scream does he use?Sorry for english errors I´m from Germany (:

[MakeshiftWings39]

@CrankDatax3 power fry.

[palryo]

at 5:17

basically just dropping your adams apple?

not exactly necessary to move your tongue. at least in my case its not

[bigbang40351]

@palryo The only reason he does that is because (and I found this out trying to explain to my friends) you wouldn't believe the amount of people that can't move their adams apple lol

[pyroblister]

whitechapel!

[THEitchyPoopzKid]

I can move my voicebox down when I don't think about it but hell when i try to concentrate on it I knack it up!! Dammit!!!!!! Lol nice dude.... Detailed, not 30 seconds of listening to some semi pro douchebag :)

[I5apo]

Fucking fags mate ! YOU CAN'T LEARN HOW TO FUCKING GROWL !! listen to benighted , cannibal corpse and some death metal bands :) the bands you listen to aren't metal .

[Shannonhittson]

Yea bruh. I caught on to false chords as soon as I heard you can fuck up your vocal chords with inhaling. And the gurgling shit hurt my throat. So destined to be hardcore. Haha. It pretty much came to me overnight. Straight up. And I figured the curling my tounge part by expireminting bree brees. So A+ bruh.

[drksktdrk]

Nip slip

[bakersk8ter94]

7:40 thats what she said

[asp4eva]

shit dont you have anything else to explain the tongue shit? XD please

[Ilikeeggsandbacon98]

nice dude

this is how i scream, and i can never really sum it up

thank you lol

[MrWallow7]

This is how a tutorial is supposed to be done! everything is as clear as water and every body movement is shown! bravo!

I have a question.. maybe you won't be able to answer but if you have any advice... see I live in an apartment and I don't feel comfortable while screaming because I keep thinking that the neighbors are listening... In terms of good places to practice, what do you suggest?

[JaxTehFallen]

@MrWallow7 local woods/forest/national park or whatever, anyone that is listening, will shit themselves and run in the opposite direction ;)

[ManOnFootpath]

@MrWallow7 Shut your doors and windows for starters - but if you're really stressed about it, hang up some curtains on your walls for soundproofing. The easiest reply for this is fuck your neighbours, but otherwise just go to shows and practice along with the lyrics or if you're with your friends who are also into hardcore you can probably get away with screaming together or learning together - and you'll feel less of an idiot screaming in public.

[GuitarTech94]

@MrWallow7 In the car, nobody can hear you unless you're stopped at a stoplight with the windows down like a dumbass :)

[juliosnap]

@MrWallow7

Shower. :)

[unicoforte]

@MrWallow7

your car

[Nathan8952]

@MrWallow7 In your car?

[bxxch10]

@MrWallow7 A dog park or regular park, they aren't really that occupied depending on where you live. Or just in yourr home. Screams aren't as loud as you think, and just have the t.v. on and as loud as your voice

[mountsnowrida]

@MrWallow7 scream in your car cause most likely you dont know the ppl in the car next to you or ever see them again so you wont have to worry about them

[jcbrbnsn95]

@MrWallow7 bro who care what they think, tell them to suck your dick!!!!! keep screaming bro

[BFMVFREAK2010]

i think im screaming right but my screams will like fade in and out and like it seems like i can scream for about 20 seconds then in fades and i cant scream? help?

[WordsForTheVoiceless]

You will yawn when you read this comment.

[KITTYCLUSTERFUCK]

@WordsForTheVoiceless Screw you! :D

[MrWallow7]

@WordsForTheVoiceless I lol'd

[mikeyowns]

@WordsForTheVoiceless Damn you!

[TheCrazies313]

who stopped watching it when they saw the Canadian flag

[isitErick]

@TheCrazies313 no one but you.

[TheCrazies313]

@isitErick and it takes somebody six days to reply to this its too late to do that

[MyFaithInHumanity]

is parkway drive false chord?

[Wednesday13Lost]

o.O you met phil bozeman? thats amazing!

I agree with the sigh thing, i cant scream using a sigh... I make like a sort of barking sound to get the death growl...

oh so THATS how you move your voicebox... thank you! ive been wanting to know that for ages!

this is the second vide ive found that has actually helped! and ive watched as many as i can find... thank you!

[TheDenres192]

tell me some band that use false chord scream,thanks

[brandonkennedybmx]

@TheDenres192 whitechapel.

[Guitaristscreamer]

@brandonkennedybmx does he really? like did you ask phil is he does? The only band i know that does false chord is the devil wears prada, most bands just use frys though, I though whitechapel did

[DanceAshtonDance]

@brandonkennedybmx white chapel inhails im pretty ssure

[origionalist]

@DanceAshtonDance phil bozeman does 100% outward vocals

[WouldUfuckMeForBlow]

@DanceAshtonDance i almost growl like phil bozeman and in an interview he says, he does exhale.

And it really sounds (live, too) like exhale.

[DanceAshtonDance]

@WouldUfuckMeForBlow ohh i was told he inhails and it kinda sounds like itt.. so it just sounded like it more to me because i thought it was truee. idk. but thanks d00d

[melodametal]

@brandonkennedybmx lamb of god

[sonsofanarchy12]

@brandonkennedybmx and suicide slience



[bugz970]

@brandonkennedybmx does slipknot use false chords

[MattPurkis]

@bugz970 kinda dude. more the backup vox in knot mate. corey tends to use more grit than false. ie controlled yelling while raisng the laryinx. though when he does scream , he uses false.

[gwk326]

@TheDenres192 bring me the horizon

[enjoilova58]

@TheDenres192 bring me the horison, attack attack, asking alexandria, august burns red, the devil wears prada, ten after two, of mice &men, memphis may fire... the list goes on and on

[DakoTG]

@enjoilova58 false. all those bands except bmth use fry screaming.

[ChildrenEatingFire]

@TheDenres192 All Shall Perish

[OcessatolapatoO]

@TheDenres192 Suicide Silence

[Phemar]

[mattscfc123]

@TheDenres192 Bring Me The Horizon.

[Stickgoncraz]

@mattscfc123 Do they do it anymore, or is Oli's new Scream/yell just..yelling, or is it high pitched false chords.

[mattscfc123]

@Stickgoncraz yes he does, but because of the amount of screaming he does his voice has changed but im pretty sure he does still false chord scream :)

[mattscfc123]

@Stickgoncraz yeah im pretty sure he does its just higher than the last album because hes better now :)

[mattscfc123]

@Stickgoncraz yeah im pretty sure he does its just higher than the last album because hes better now :)

[Stickgoncraz]

@mattscfc123 Their new album even better than Suicide Season :]

[453tyer]

@TheDenres192 attila

[V3rciS]

i want the same tutorial for fry vocals....

Also I can do false chords without having to put my tongue deep into my throat as you explained... but I am kinda failing at high pitch! :/

[decapitatedrathead]

my voice box goes up?its pissing me off but my highs sound good XD

[Lechnio401]

do u have a bmx?

[TheSkyWilIFade]

Hey man, I can only hold a scream for like 4 to 5 seconds tops.How do i make my scream longer?

[DeathYear2012]

@TheSkyWilIFade It's all practice man. Push yourself to it, try ITMOL or ABR for a reference.

[noscopegod]

@TheSkyWilIFade control your airflow. You have to make sure you are pulling air into your body with your diaphragm, if any other part of your body moves other than your stomach, you are doing it wrong. Once you learn to control your diaphragm for pulling air in, you can then start learning to control airflow. controlling airflow requires you to close your throat enough to still let a bit of air through, get your scream, but keep enough air to extend the screams length. He covers this later.

[Wakemeup456]

sorry but i didnt understand anything u just said. its just not working & i think i might just give up

[edenmeden]

lol'd way too hard at 6:25 :|

[wallywag16]

At 5:43 I yawned.

[Gman55UK]

that is one huge sexy nip

[MyB0neDaddy]

haha the thing u made at 5:44 i made it and i vomit -___-

[TheKaptainKool]

@MyB0neDaddy Lololol



[MyB0neDaddy]

the thing u are teaching u are inhaling or exhaling>?

[666anubhav]

watever u did was realy helpful man.! i found ur teknik prety easy to understand..

[mikeypoo86]

hey i get what you said about the guy that can suck his chest in i do that when i scream and it's perfect and doesn't hurt a bit. but i'm still trying to exhale i can't but i have found that when i was screaming at my cat i can make a very loud type of scream it's just yelling making your voice loud as you can but it hurt so i stopped.... lol but thank you for the info i think the tongue technique will help me thanks alot.

[iAgile]

When you pull your tongue "back" imagine your gagging yourself with it. Thats basically the main technique.
