Tyler, about your ‘rumbling’ when doing high screams, you may just want to open your mouth wider (if not already doing that) that way more air is released which is what you want to do when screaming high, also you may want to tilt your head in an upwards position, that way your vocal chords are stretched slightly and allow for faster vibrations, vice versa for lows

Vumpz. when screaming, you want to take your air into your Diaphragm, not your lungs, so just like everyday breathing. notice how your air goes into your stomach area not your chest, and that is where you want to take in your air to make screaming easier, and less painful

I am a screaming vocalist and I have researched different ways of screaming and the effects they all have on your vocal chords. One of the worst things you can do is inhale while trying to scream because this way will strain your vocal chords and cause horriable damage. There are some vocalist in bands that do this but it is not safe and I don’t recommend it or practice it. Practice using your diaphram and false vocal chords like it states above but there are some people who aren’t meant to be screamers or vocalist. In reference to the comment made about female vocalist not being good screamers, that is an opinion and an ignorant comment being made. Any gender can be a screamer, the fact is they just have to have the talent and practice to be a good screamer.

well your screaming explanation is pretty much on point but your genre labeling is horrible screamo is just another word for “hardcore pop punk” screamo has become the word for that and is now concider a genre of music a7x is alternative metal not rock silvertein is screamo as well as underoath now the bands they mentioned in the article are not screamo as for chix in the metal hardcore scene not many make it but if u got what it takes u just might get respect i mean the chick from in this moment is pretty good

Alright I’m just saying that we are not talking about that kind of screaming at all. Anyone can do that. Genderwise i mean. And in my opinion girls can do metal vocals too. It’s just uncommon.

I’m wanting to get a BILLY’S GOT A GUN 80′s type sound from my high notes. I can hit the notes but it just doesn’t feel right. Listen to BILLY’S GOT A GUN by Def Leppard, he gets extremely high, and if you can help me that’d be great.
