I scream almost every other day, so isnĀ“t that practise enough? Me and me friends played this stupid thing one time; we pretented that we were acting in a horror film, and so we sreamed so hard, that our ears almost blew off! Oh gosh it was fun...

Whenever i try to scream i lose confidence halfway thru and think i sound like a fool. Other people like it tho. Mine seems to come from my lungs more than anything, i cant seem to get it to come from anywher else.

Here is where my smoking comes in handy! ( -_- I should make 101 reasons to some! I would only have two vs. 08540954 bad reasons. So dont think im advertizing im being sarcastic.)
I can sound like Marilyn Manson when I scream!
The best way for me to scream is to put myself in a fetal position and imagine im a mix between a demond and a toad. n.n

Smoking...actually makes it worse. Since you'll have problems controlling your voice and pitch.

I want to learn how to scream.
Umm, are there any ways I could learn without doing damage to my vocal cords?

You need to find somewhere to practise, somewhere you won't be looked at in strange ways by people for doing it; your room when your parents are out, perhaps? Then you basically just need to experiment with different techniques. If it hurts your throat badly, you're doing it wrong. And if you do that too much, you can get vocal cord damage. The place that's best to scream without hurting yourself is from your diaphragm. It's hard to do, but practise a lot and itll come eventually. Smile Sorry, did a long paragraph then XD

You need to drink alot of water, to stop your throat drying out and therefore fucking up. If it hurts when you're drinking alot, you're doing it wrong.
Scream from your diaphragm and open up your throat for a lower scream.
Practise alot. Scream along to songs too. That'll help with timing.


Love games?:
I can scream, but it's a extremely deep growl (odd for a girl, right?)
So, how can i raise it about...2 octaves?
Close your throat up.
Opening your throat makes it lower.


I have a few videos of me screaming on youtube, and I've had about 50 people asking me how to do it.
If anyone wants to check it out
It's all about diaphragm and technique. You HAVE to drink alot of water.

Practise makes perfect.

It's a really dangerous thing to attempt. You really should get a qualified teacher to teach you. It could end up fucking up your voice completely for the rest of your life if you do it wrong.

Well, safe screaming is like sort of a whisper scream, as opposed to yelling. You have to experiment without fucking up your voice too much.

If it hurts you throat, then you probably aren't using your diaphragm. When you use your diaphragm you have to inflate your stomach with air and push out with it.

Honestly, where do you go to practice screaming when you don't have a band backing you? Everywhere I go, people freak out and think I'm being murdered or something. I don't have a basement/garage/attic/tra lala. and I can't turn my music up. I don't know. For me it's frustrating.

I usually practice when my parents are gone and I'm home alone.

There is no safe way for screaming because it comes from the throat.

not all screaming comes from the throat (infact none of it should, its too dangerous), you can do it from your diaphragm, thats safe.
