My mom says that I sound like Bert McCraken when I scream, but I don't believe her, so what should I do?

^ You could try recording yourself and then compare it to Bert McCracken.

That's so awesome if you sound like him.

My growling voice has recently developed well. It also means that I can now sing lower. I'm able to growl to some BMTH, but it's not great; my higher scream is still more piercing. It's hard to growl without using the throat, but you have to practice and it eventually comes.

i find Suicide Silence good for range, though it takes some serious skill to get down to the really low notes .

And Alesana's good for the high screams!

Ok, I have a problem. I consider myself a decent screamer, except for the fact that my "screaming voice", if you will, tires out quickly, like I can only do like two songs, and then I can't scream at all anymore. It's not that I'm hurting my throat, it doesn't hurt, I just can't like find the right part of the throat. Has anybody else have this problem? Is this just something that can be changed with practice?

^I know what you mean, any suggestions would be lovely :]

Does anyone have advice on how to develop a Angela Gossow kind of scream, well 'growl' if you like. I like her voice.

I helps to drink a lot of fluids before, during, and after screaming. Yoghurt is also very helpful, especially for growling.

If you are finding it impossible to scream after a couple of songs, I'd give it a week or so rest. Even if it doesn't hurt, you might still be giving your vocal cords a bit of a strain. I had the same problem too at first, but with practice (but still breaks for rest), you develop a kind of resistance to it.

okay...i bought the Zen Of Screaming DVD, it only taught me how to use my diaphragm, which i already know, so technically i lost my money, i've tried to learn screaming around the web and no one actually knows how to teach me. So please, i have a band, and we're gonna play at the school Talent Show, the song we are gonna play includes screaming, so please, PLEASE help me.

some tell me excercises and what to do, please, the Talent Show is next semester and we don't have much time, thank you.
