How To Fry Scream | Metalcore Tutorial

How to scream is a common question I get asked by many people attempting vocals in the metalcore, deathcore, hardcore, deathmetal and djent sound. So in today's vocal screaming tutorial I'll be showing you my tips and technique on how I fry scream safely, avoiding damage, things to look out for, types of metal vocals, and other great information that I've learned in the past 19 years of doing vocals.
I am Brendon Padjasek of the band Structures and I also played in Northlane for 2 years on the Alien cycle before taking a step back to work from home. Welcome to my channel based on modern metal, djent, and deathcore music, production, mixing and song writing.
In this lesson I'll show you how I haven't killed my vocal chords after almost 20 years of screaming style vocals. A lot of information I learned from my vocal coach / instructor, as well as things I've picked up along the way. Grab some water and try somethings out with me. Thanks!

Thanks so much for watching and I’m stoked it helped ! I also noticed that for myself as well. And it’s weird because it seems obvious to hold back to preserve but it ends up hurting more. Obviously don’t overly push to be obnoxious, but once you find that perfect pocket. You’re good.

[@thib.alt_]

@@BrendonKPadjasek You're welcome, your content is really interesting wether it's songwriting or mixing too ! With vocals I mainly try not hurting myself for now. In fact I still haven't found any warmup routine that works for me. Every time I try a warmup found on KZbin and scream after, my voice is already fucked up in half a verse and I have massive headache. It's frustrating and I end up not working because I'm afraid of hurting myself. Because for the screaming part, I use to know what I wanted to do, well it worked at least, or I thought it worked.

I used to practice as an inventory sales associate, they loved hearing me randomly belt out a good high pitch growlscream while counting the shelves!

Hahaha as long. As you don’t get fired, and feel comfortable, I say go for it. If you’re holding back or self conscious, definitely more likely to hurt yourself

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Hey thank you so much, I appreciate that a lot and I’m glad it’s super useful. To be honest, I don’t really do much cleans at all anymore, but at a point when I was trying I found that it was mostly just easing up in the compression from your chest and kind of shifting the momentum from your chest, to your abdominal/ diagram slightly more. Hope that makes sense

That sorta voice cracking hollering thing that happened on his lower scream to the end is what made it click for me a while back. It's that sorta rasp that appears when your voice is breaking between head voice and chest voice. If anyone is having trouble after watching this tutorial try ramping up like he does but when your voice breaks into head voice try going back and forth, and letting yourself yodel.

[@alienvi-iy4sg]

[@robingasnier4582]

I would add that this technique is usual referred to as a fry scream. The other one mentioned typically used in the death side of the core/metal genre is typically called false chord. The fry’s you use are definitely mixed in with a lot of natural voice but it doesn’t necessarily need to be this way. Using more compression with a fry scream can lead to some pretty sweet tones for all sides of metal.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I absolutely agree with you on all of what you said. The draw back to introducing more compression with a fry scream is that you lose a bit more of the person’s individual sound. And then you end up sounding like the large majority of vocalist that sound quite similar - indistinguishable. That’s why I titled the video as such, as I’m trying help people find their individual approach. Thanks for watching and for commenting the things I didn’t mention in the video. Appreciate it! What kind of vocals do you do?

[@Soul73_]

[@tiotheberk]

I learned from loosing my voice every few days at band practice 20 years ago. Literally no one showed me anything, just screamed at the top of my lungs for hr’s…it took a few years before I could fully control all diff styles of distorted vocals. Now 20 years on I can do any style with zero damage...My normal voice is also fine btw ..it is amazing how much damage it can heal from. I do feel like learning at low volume then getting louder later would be safer for people. After all these years I would say learning Volume/breath control is the most important thing.

Absolutely agree about the volume / breath control aspect. Glad it's healed up ahah

I love it when I just pop into the youtube, minding my own business, and an unhinged, let's-write-a-brand-new-chapter-to-the-human-voice-chronicles, next level fucking throat philosopher just wanders through, leaving behind a trove of timeless wisdom and brain-altering practical, applied knowledge and skills. Just spewing forth excellence and profoundly deep understanding, basically every time the mouth-hole opens up to talk about mouth-hole related information. Seriously, what a great video. ...you should probably just delete it. Nobody, myself included, deserves to be simply handed all this stuff. The world is not worthy bro. ...yeah man. Props to Liepe too. I can see, that you are in his league. And ain't nobody in Chris's league. He's pretty much completely alone at the top. And then you showed up. Truly amazing work. I mean, realistically, you seem clearly to be one of the absolute top, aggro, loud-mouths on planet earth. I mean it. And art is good. And music is great. I like that stuff too. But a talent like yours... I just hope that, maybe someday, the stars align. And there is some dick-head, corrupt official, idk - public blight on society, and like they need to be derailed and shut down. And somehow you are in the right place at the right time, and cameras are running, and you just get to, you know, put in some work. And just have at it for the whole world to see. The awesome power, of aggressively getting the truth across, in devastating fashion. You are doing the Lord's work here. Just know this.

Haha thanks I honestly am probably not even pronouncing properly myself as I unfortunately don’t speak Polish. But hopefully I got close enough haha Thanks for watching! Which point(s) stood out as most helpful?

[@cgrind3000]

@@BrendonKPadjasek tbh everything, never thought about attempting vocals but I'm kinda compelled to give it a try now

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Hell yeah. I’m stoked it helped. Let me know if you have any other questions after trying!

[@Connerbooker]

This is an awesome tutorial for someone who's never taken vocal lessons. Even though I don't plan on screaming, I found that I couldn't get the distortion to come from my chest and end up feeling it in my throat. Any tips for getting it to come from the right place?

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I do plan on making another video on it. I guess I am technically closing my throat a little bit to get the last bit of distortion out. I just thought if I said “tighten your throat a little bit” people would more likely hurt themselves by using it way too much

[@Robofantastic]

this video only makes sense if you know how to fry scream to begin with. I can't get the "chest" distortion at all. if i push like you said my voice breaks. I have been a singer for 17+ years in semi pro band, but never managed to figure out fry scream

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

That would be the point where you reach the scream, where your voice breaks. As long as it’s not hurting your throat, your golden

[@adrienrequin5632]

Yeah! Screaming is basically using your break in a safe way. That’s why it feels so silly at the beginning. But it shouldn’t hurt.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@adrienrequin5632 exactly

[@xbrushedinredx]

Love your music in Structures and Northlane , man! Thanks for the video! \m/ >.< \m/

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thank you so much! Glad you found the channel!

[@xhannnnahx]

I came here to learn how to recreate Lacey Sturm's I'm so sick vocals :D subbed

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thank you!

[@alexfernandez8871]

Everybody watching this video with their tongues going nuts

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Lmao exactly!

[@daleonov]

Thanks for the tutorial! I believe this is a first time I've seen someone mention a "chest distrotion". I can do a similar sound to what happens 7:27, but from what I've gathered from other tutorials and lessons, isn't it coming from false cords? I'm just trying to wrap my head around those metal techniques. Also, do you do 1-on-1 lessons for vocals? Really like how you explain stuff.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Eh thank you so much! Quite honestly, I don’t even know what the technique is. People have told me it’s false chord, fry and fold distortion. None of them really mean anything to me lmao but the majority of people have referred to it as fry so I go with that. I just go with “does it sound like a human or an animal”

[@tylerpace6517]

Great Vid. How long do you think your warm up will last before you start singing?

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thank you so much for watching! Usually about 15 minutes. I kind of gage it around how my body feels while warming up. If I feel ready and activated sooner then I’ll start sooner. Or later haha. Sometimes I notice that I’m just not in the right spot so I won’t do vocals that day

[@tsohgallik]

How about the Low Grunt sounds 😂 you guys make so many sounds with grunts, screeches, squeaks and squealing 😵🔥

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Hahah I wish I could. I never could figure out the lows

[@BohemianFuckingGrave]

Watched this at the end of my practice session…….shit. I’ll be back in the basement tomorrow to try some of those chest projections tomorrow! Thanks for the awesome video!!!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks so much for watching. Let me know if this all helps and if you have any more questions!

[@richardhuff3051]

Gotta love a versatile guitarist though

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thank you so much. I also play drums lmao

[@forlineumtosino]

What I personally find important as a third in a band is a bassline that is not just kinda there but well thought out. Sounds like a given but so often the basslines are just there but they have little to no personality.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

For sure. Especially with the heavier genres where the tendency is to follow the guitar

[@phyzix_phyzix]

Great video. Just one correction. It's the soft palate that moves forward or back not the uvula. The uvula is just the hanging ball.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll have to let my vocal instructor know as well

[@TechnologyArchAngel]

I Support This.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Haha thank you!

[@guyzoun]

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thank you my friend

[@dankyman95]

This dude .. damn bro i m on day 0 with my scream learning journey and you on 8:45 just f.....g :D damn bro respect for you r hard work in the years.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Haha I appreciate it my man! I wish you luck on your journey and if there’s any way I can help you out, let me know. I don’t really have any ideas for more vocal videos so it’s up to all of you

[@DocSlaughter]

I've been out of the game for a few years now my highs sound like Freiza from DBZ 😂

[@high_ryze666]

Me watching this simply because I don't want to sound like a strangled chicken while singing along to my tunes

[@tet4nus]

Would love to learn but i never have any place to try.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I guess you could rent a rehearsal space to try it out
