For me is easy to sing in my mix voice so over the joker line, in my nose and then I simply add air and it basically fall into fry scream

[@Crispy27]

Almost a year later, but for anyone else. That sound will get you false cord distortion, not fry screams. Different technique altogether.

I had to log into my account just to thank you for explaining the transition between vocal fry and a vocal scream, I tried in the past to "blend" it together without success, once you taught me it's a transition with your first method, it was very comfortable, I could hear a little tiny raspy break in my exhale, once I got the hang of what the feeling was I just pushed out more and more air from my diaphragm like I was really fed up. It's literally only been 3 hours and I can scream like my idol Mitch Lucker (R.I.P) and what's great is that my throat doesn't hurt at all!!

[@voicehacks]

whoa!!! That’s amazing so glad it was helpful!!!

You can practice strengthening the soft palate by lifting the same muscles that you use to yawn.

[@DJKuroh]

I tried a lot of things. This was the first video that actually taught me simple steps to hold the right vocal form. Now I can explore my voice up and down my range to find points that enhance that tone. Too many tutorials are like "make this sound", which isnt right because "that sound" is unique to your voice. You said "here's how to slowly get into the form that makes MY voice sound like this" and it totally worked. I added breath support and instead of wheezing out it was like the static disappeared for a split second then a jet engine geared up. Trying to "yell" that loud would totally hurt. I'm amazed. Thank you!

[@voicehacks]

Yes! This is exactly the idea behind these exercises ☝️☝️

@@voicehacks found this going down a Pat Benatar rabbit hole. Growing up in the 80s the various metal " voices " are near & dear to me & seeing a woman doing a video on it peaked my interest. I am not a singer except for my own joy or pain. However, even I noticed an improvement in my ability....with any song. You explain in a way that feels intuitive ♡ Yes, I know Pat Benatar does not fry, nor sing metal. However she opened so many doors. She blew away the radio charts with her operatically trained voice turned rock. If any of you have never watched her sing or never heard this song check out this link.....it's a bit slow at 1st, wait for when she " lets loose " towards the end. She's still not even trying! Over 2 decades of singing that song every show (still touring this summer) & her vocal cords show no signs of objecting! I assume this is a great example of the power of warming up & proper use of your breath. Anyway...thank you for sharing I knew l had learned something when one morning my wife called my name & repeated it as I was walking back down the hall to respond. Now I wake up grumpy...I mean foggy, grumpy, leave me alone ...I kinda yelled "What!?" .....except it came out like a demon voice 😲🤤 I had to go apologize 🙄 My brain went ..Oh!

Yo, i recently discovered your channel but just now realized you were in Luna Mortis! Just wanted to say that you are awesome, love your screams (and of course the clean vocals), they sound so sinister. Good luck with channel/whatever other endeavours you may have! It would be sick to hear your vocals in another band someday though ;)

If you're looking for epic female vocals from melody to insanely good distortion check out Jinjer.

[@ianjones935]

I'm getting back into singing after a few years hiatus. I was a singer/screamer in one band about 14 years ago but gave up on anything more than raspy vox after that because of how much damage i incurred when trying to scream. At the time Melissa Cross was the only coach that even mentioned screaming so it was hard to figure out what was going on with me. Now I have all of this info from you to help guide me while I'm shaking the rust off. I can't thank you enough for all this content! Keep putting it out there. You fuckin rock!

[@JeffH4rdy96]

I've been quite blown away when I heard you screaming. When I first saw you I was definitely not expecting you to sound so raspy and powerful on screams. You earned my respect!

[@pesci_fabio]

I got the technique down, but i struggle with projection, when i try to fry it just comes out as a dead whisper. Any help ?

[@harper.la.vegano]

Try tightening or pushing your diaphragm (the muscle that contracts when you hiccup). Google the anatomy of the torso to find where this is. You can feel where it is a few ways but I describe it as creating a backwards hiccup. There's plenty of videos that explain how to use the diaphragm to project.

Really, thank you so much! Love from Brazil

[@GrogsWorld]

The first time I watched this video(about 6 months ago) I knew it was important, but I did not really get it. The main thing I got out of it was, you can hurt yourself. So I took it slow, worked with it, and now watching it the second time, it makes way more sense. I have definitely improved, but I have a way to go. Thank you Mary Z. You rock!

[@Rykiniafan1]

these turtorials are straight gold. with the exercises i can directly feel what happens in my throat so i can remember the correct feeling and replicate it. didnt have that with any other tutorials. also great descriptions and a bit of anatomy to boot! soon i wont have a scratchy throat anymore when i cant help but scream along to my favourite songs xD tyvm Mary

[@spider-man4796]

Also to be clear, i should not try and add my head voice in my screams? I’ve heard elsewhere to do it but i trust your opinion more lol

[@cypruslavigne7419]

Yes, depending on your vocal type and range, you won't be able to go higher after a certain point in your chest without risking strain or damage to your chords. You have to have a really strong falsetto/head voice and good control over it to apply it to screaming. It will feel like a natural gap jumping from the chest/head while fry screaming. The sound will just feel like it's coming from your head rather than your diaphragm.

[@voicehacks]

I would say no. Fry does not have voice in it even high whistle tones. Manipulate the pitch with vowel shape.

[@spider-man4796]

VoiceHacks well could you react to Austin Carlisle’s vocals? I’m curious to hear what you say about his vocals

This was really refreshing to have a different approach to fry screaming (I’ve honestly watched every English speaking tutorial on KZbin on it). It would be super cool though if you went over a bit more of how it may sound when we’re trying to do each technique and what may happen and what it would generally (or possibly) indicate in a future video if possible :)

[@eliasholenhannouch807]

I've realized that it's really difficult to use these tutorials (any on KZbin) to actually get the fundamental technique down. You just really have to try out many different methods in many different ways until you stumble across the correct technique. I've been trying to get it for over 10 years (on and off), and I finally... FINALLY managed to get it down. Now I appreciate your tutorial so much more. The problem with trying to copy the sound is that you can make this sound in many different ways (by forcing it) which can put you down incorrect paths.

[@kleinemaus6094]

I have false cord down, my lows are great now, but fry scream has been elusive for me. I love your explanations as well as the exercises you demonstrate to replicate it, and I am definitely going to try this on the way home in the car!
