[@EndlessClimb45]

I can do the compression and voice fry and sound just like that but only at lower volumes. When I try to do it loudly or scream it , that's where my voice breaks. Any suggestions or tricks for that?

[@chrisliepe]

loudness is grown through consistent, patient pursuit of the balanced coordinations I share in this and other videos... But listening to yourself is also HUGE@@EndlessClimb45 I help people develop practice habits for honing the sound and sensations here in this course: www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/the-aggressive-vocalist-s-master-plan-of-attack

[@Slappy3]

If they are enhanced with layering then what about when screamers do live preformance in front of people without the studio?

[@chrisliepe]

I've been to lots of shows with some of my favorite vocalists and they, in general sound fantastic! But it is different than the studio for sure... And even live, these vocalists are using effects like compression, EQ, drive, delay and in some cases, even layers. It's still "above" actually raw... especially the raw we get accustomed to with our own practicing. So the best thing is to put ourselves in all these situations! @@Slappy3

[@luci-musix3012]

I love being caught in dead eye contact while Chris stares into my soul and recreates the screams of the damned. My favourite part of the video. My favourite lesson of yours is if you're going to practice vocals you've gotta be prepared to make some crazy sounds to get where you wanna be.

[@limemeringue]

"Don't be comparing your raw vocals with produced vocals on recordings" WHOOOPS! Guilty as charged! For real though, the other struggle is how do I even create these sounds in post.

[@defeatstatistics7413]

almost every band pitch corrects, almost every vocal track is multiple layers, almost everything has some level of reverb. If you *really* wanna compare, watch the band live. Winston from Parkway Drive has a weirdly messy scream, that just doesn't come through on the records. He enunciates poorly, loses frequencies, struggles to hold some longer screams, but it still sounds fucking great. Perfectionism is a fool's errand.

[@NavionDJ]

@@defeatstatistics7413 Spoiler alert: live production has got tons of processing as well. At least a bunch of EQ, compression and reverb. Some bands even tour with their own sound engineer.

[@Homiloko2]

Fr, this is why I like listening to utawaku (singing livestreams). There might be some reverb but it's the least amount of production you'll find readily available

[@vosoryan]

Damn dude your screams have come a long way.

[@RhinestonePickupTruck]

This man is single handedly responsible for a generation of future rock/metal singers learning and honing their skills. Hats off and many thanks to Chris!

[@benschnose400]

Now we finna need a vocal production course too

[@stephanedechaine4964]

F*ck yeah

[@altEnte]

holy, your technique especially in different screams got so much better. I get some real Eddie Berg and Corey Taylor vibes here. Crazy mix but it sounds really well placed

[@vruss3371]

I was getting for recording metal screams for a song last night and I prayed for God for help because I was starting to lose my voice and getting so frustrated. Then I wake up and this is posted. WHAT AN ANSWER TO PRAY GOD BLESS YOU.

[@DaisyDonahue]

@vruss3371 You are still further ahead than me, since I have not quite gotten the courage to try doing screams..except for 'lion's roar' attempts I made as a kid, then discontinued as I did not want to destroy my voice, lol. But I agree, this came at the right time for me too, so God bless you Chris! And God bless you because everyone needs those blessings😃.

[@FrijjMagnet]

Chris just hand holding me to learning to Fry scream. Everytime i doubt myself or dont think i can learn this i watch one of these vids and it inspires me to keep going. I think im improving, just gotta go one day at a time i suppose. thx so much Chris!

[@FrijjMagnet]

"dont be comparing your raw vocals while you're driving or you're in room with produced vocals on recordings, it causes you to do things with your throat that NOBODY's throat is doing" - i needed to hear that so much

[@Decarbia666]

Thank you so much for this Video. I actually found my fryscream because of listening to yours! It took me five years to do this in the correct way.

[@7AKV7]

Absolute gigachad of vocal tutors! Great stuff as always!

[@Lastvoids]

i will always appreciate how you teach, without these moments of experimental sounds of the similar voice shape helps so much for getting to know the feeling

[@lucicrow]

DUDE! I've been able to do Chuck Schuldiner's high fry screams for a long time now but could never pull it down to a lower, growlier sound without a tense feeling in my throat, but you explain the process of fry screaming so well here I'm just left wondering "wait why didn't I figure this out sooner?" "was I able to do THAT all this time?" This will completely change how I plan out my future vocals in songprojects. Chris, your videos are immeasurably valuable to aspiring vocalists, thank you so much

[@vinzenzstandner1367]

Felt that sensation before, but didn‘t think about it. thanks for bringing awareness on that feeling :)

[@mukherjee22]

Your fry screams are so powerful, this is my first time listening to you dial in your fry screams and I love them 😍😍😍

[@jamesgardiner8879]

Its been fun to see you learn screaming over the last couple of months! Keep it up!

[@anonymous-yd6xt]

The very best vocal teacher. You got me to whistle tone.

[@asdf2098]

Oh man, thank you so much for making this video. I was seriously feeling terrible with how my screams sounded but I didnt realize that I was spending most of my time practicing based on produced vocals. Your quote at the end with "that nobody's throat is doing to get those sounds"... i realized now why my throat got so "itchy" and I had to cough even though I was trying to relax as much as possible; i was literally aiming for impossible sounds.

[@Homiloko2]

Amazing, I FINALLY learned how to scream because this tutorial just clicked! The only issue I have is that the volume (not pitch) is very low. It sounds pretty good on a mic but not outside lol. If I try to increase airflow, it will either stop the distortion or feel wrong in my throat. I'll take it slow and do a short practice every day and see how it improves.

[@JakeLewisReal]

Great vocal coaching in this.

[@phoonarchy]

Holy f... that bit of dry track at the end made me realise some mistakes that I was doing when it comes to how much should I project my voice while singing & screaming.

[@chrisliepe]

GOOD! That's exactly why I included it!! It always surprises me how LITTLE projection I actually need... Production is way more important than projection!!!! (I have to re learn that constantly)

[@k.cjayne578]

This man deserves so many more views. Start sharing in your metal subreddits, everyone

[@machinedgod]

Fantastic video, thank you Chris. I remember how shocked I was years ago, when I first hired a proper engineer to help me record, mix and master a song - when I heard myself in the first professionally done mix. I never thought I could sound like that, because I thought I performed like trash in the booth. He was reassuring me that performance was awesome and more than he needs, but I thought he was just stroking my ego. Turns out, that specific sound I was looking for - was really all about applying few effects in the post processing. Was a real eye opener!

[@theperiidot]

A good vocal mix can make any voice sound absolutely insane (the good kind) it's so cool

[@machinedgod]

​@@theperiidotinterestingly enough, my engineer disagrees with that. He says, great mix can push great performance to excellent, and great voice to amazing - but just like with recording instruments, you can't simply "fix it in the mix" if the source is bad.

[@mariogutierrezspeedcuber5925]

You should definitely publish a new course with the new info you have learned in the last months

[@chrisliepe]

It's coming :) !

[@lyricnoel]

This is where I get all my vocal tips love your videos! 🤘🖤

[@edstubranton]

Finally someone is explaining what the fry scream "really" is. I was constantly under the impression that the vocal fry "was" the scream and I was just doing it wrong. I also just couldn't understand how this vocal fry was supposed to turn from this floppy, barely any breath to kind of thing into a fully developed scream. XD Thanks for clearing that up. When I get the time and motivation I'll totally have a go at this technique and see how far I get with this newly gained knowledge. :D Thank you Chris.

[@TheWambat]

This was so helpful. I have been thinking that I needed to really strain and push to get that fully distorted sound, but I see it's about getting the vocal foundation of the scream and augmenting it in post.

[@Krunchforever]

Chris, I just need to thank you for always posting the exact video I need in my life at this moment. I got inspired to dig deeper into my false chord screaming because of you and I’ve gotten to a point where I’m confident with it but my fry screams have always been troublesome. Once I get my living situation figured out, I’ll be signing up for your singing course! Keep it up \m/

[@arturonavarro1550]

I'VE BEEN WAITING THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG! THANK YOU CHRIS YOU'RE THE BEST!

[@asull06]

8:48 I think this is the most impotant part of the video and averyone needs to be reminded constantly.

[@JohnReavesLive]

Chris, I just wanted to say I am a huge fan of yours and I love how open, authentic, and relatable you are in your teaching!

[@hemlocke7359]

I love how as you’ve been teaching on KZbin we as viewers can actually see you evolving and improving in real time. Even masters at the craft are never done. I’ve been doing vox for 13 years and I still learn new things, truly an amazing journey and I’m glad I can watch yours.🤘

[@DrClownPhD]

Watching your videos really helped me understand how to experiment with my voice. I would really love to use your sessions if I had the chance but my current living situation makes that pretty difficult. However, the things you've talked about I've ended up using and have expanded the things I can do with my voice. I appreciate guys like you pls never stop

[@frankunodostres473]

absolutely fascinating and valuable from start to finish. man we learn so much even when the videos are short, it's impressive

[@engravedios9693]

Chriss!! I loved your course on freeing my voice, it really helped me as a vocalist, and i really wish that you could do a vocal analysis on ado’s dried flowers or kawaikute gomen, since its really fun watching your vocal analysis videos

[@subsume7904]

Thank you for this! When I'm learning something I take everything said very literal, all of these other KZbinrs telling us to add "vocal fry" have confused me so hard, because that is not what is being used to create a fry scream, and I never succeeded in it. I now have a better understanding of what is actually making the noise.

[@UguuUng]

I really hope you will continue your lessons in the upcoming years, I've been interested in learning how to sing but I have too many things right now (currently learning japanese, drawing, piano, video editing and programmation + my job from 10 to 5 so yeah :/)

[@deltron1465]

I managed to get better screams with some compression, I've already seen too many other videos saying to use vocal fry and for me it felt like it was hurting my vocal cords when singing some songs with the same technique. I get it that vocal fry is used to develop fry screams, but for me it created more confusion, after watching this video and your other videos explaining different techniques, I was able to improve in just 1 day, going to hurting my voice, to singing for an hour without straining my voice and being able to push even further my voice while screaming.

[@MattRhodes_Music]

I'll be giving this video numerous plays! I'd love if you did even a quick analysis of some Bullet for my Valentine as they have stems and isolated vocals id love to get your take on from both singing/screaming and a production analysis. I'll be trying this out in the car tomorrow 🤘

[@Kev_Incmplete]

I First learned how to Scream by Just doing It. I never knew what Type of screams i did. I Always thought it was false Chords i practiced fry screaming by combining the fry Sensation with distortion until Our Sound engeneer told me i already do fry screams. As He was Confused with my whole approach 😂 this really helps to clear Things Up thank you Chris!

[@justin_payne]

Hey Chris, I love how you always explain vocal techniques in a way that makes sense to all aspiring vocalists, not just formally trained singers. I've watched your videos since I was 14 and just discovered metal, and now I'm 18 and fronting a post-hardcore band! I want to learn to sing like Anthony Green, Cove Reber and Jesse Cash but, being a baritone singer myself, I have trouble identifying their techniques. Would you consider doing a video about how to get "the post-hardcore sound"?

[@3nvyjust3nvy96]

You had me at Kim Dracula, Gradual decline in morale is too good

[@PatrickJaneBand]

it's brilliant that in the end u told not to compare u'r natural unprocessed vocal with recorded layer with multiple effects, seems like the wright way to listen to the live shows of your favourite vocalists. Thanks for explanation! Please take a look on Norma Jean vocalist('/with_errors' song), what do u think of his dynamics?

[@rachelraykar]

OMLL chris, u should release that lil audio you showed us of you in the beginning 🔥🔥fyee music! found your channel about 2 or 3 years ago i think, i keep comin back! i post covers and im waitin for my finals to end, IMA RUNNN to the studio cuz i freestyle, rap n sing pop, rnb etc. But scream rap and rock has always had a spot in my heart, i REALLY cant wait to practice all these techniques safely and see how far i can get!

[@greysun3637]

I started off as a rapper but can't project the level of emotions I can with metal. I'm getting really close to hitting these screams but I'm struggling with certain parts. Do you offer face to face video lessons or tips over video chat? You've already helped me so much but I'm ready to really invest and get there!🖤🤘🏽

[@chrisliepe]

Yes I do! Request an invitation to Discover Your Voice at chrisliepe.com and you’ll see an option to enroll with a private lesson as well when you get your invite! :) looking forward to working with you!

[@philosophiabme]

Wow! I was just looking to learn this technique recently. I loved your videos on "pitch" screaming a few years ago

[@deafeningmrm]

[@rattlesnake2]

This is good. Congratulations.

[@Olkam-w5u]

Wow, this is already a scientific study, which is very cool, because I have a feeling that vocal acrobatics will soon become fashionable

[@TheJake3]

You’re awesome!

[@brandonkaine576]

We need a chuck Schuldiner tutorial/vocal analysis

[@TheLarknessMonster]

Little tip on how I learned how to do screams is it's like your bearing down to poop, but instead of focusing that pressure downwards you push it upwards. The air then from your lungs gets pushed against the top of your soft palate in your mouth and moving your mouth shape around can alter how it sounds. You shouldn't feel any pain or big pressure in your throat, the "constriction" for pressure should feel more like back/top of the mouth cavity than deep in your throat. Then you can do it all day every day, it never hurts and you can go in and out of screaming/singing fairly easily.

[@thebackspacers]

Amazing video!!!

[@Rusli1659LPSoldier]

3:17 i swear it sounds like Trunks from DBZ. i have been practicing Fry Scream for what Chester's doing during Given Up and i was trying match the exact same note (Singing note + scream sound) something like that and i was trouble breathing that long. 6:49 i realized its the same layer technique from Crawling during the chorus.

[@risingdead5721]

5:10 That was a mood and a jumpscare😂😂😂

[@kornisgod66666]

You're the man and a half for all this teaching. It'd be so cool to see you get with Justin Bonitz from the band Tallah and explore even more vocal acrobatics!

[@chucksano]

Nice video Chris. Btw. I also love and use the Schepps Omni channel a fair bit in my productions

[@r0gu353]

Chris, for your next video you should analyze and explain the vocal track on 'Artificial Suicide' by Bad Omens, because I believe lot's of people including myself would love an explanation on how to achieve vocal tracks like this without confusing themselves just like this video does.

[@cat-sanglasses413]

what's tough about this is I can't confirm if I'm doing it right the sound is kinda different but atleast some grit is happening(which used to be impossible because my voice become too smooth), I'm feeling tingly sensation on my throat like I'm gargling water it doesn't hurt but it's scary. would be cool to have discord community for this community

Fry Screams “FORRRR REALLLLL”😂

[@_Sojua]

I’ve been recently picking up alot of screaming tutorials and have been practicing often daily pretty much and I know it’s constantly drilled in don’t hurt but someone who has never tried or attempted to scream I do get a slight soreness is this just working muscles that haven’t been used before cause the tenderness only seems to be present during practice or singing

[@DavidAskerMusik]

Nice creaming, love vocal fry

[@davidcanaandaniel]

As one of my couches told me you use vocal fry to notice muscles that control it's application and do opposite from that from vocal fry to more closed vocal construction...

[@elementia-michaelillicit1229]

I feel like doing lower fry screams are where you start to notice boundaries within that style of vocal. You have to really start honing in the source of the fry where you're "true" vocal cords are producing that sound in order to find the right constriction ballance as well as manipulation with your mouth shape to get good sounding lows. At least for me anyway.

[@STXErad]

ngl i never heard your actually heavy screams , I always heard the Isolated sound when you are demostrating but damn, that shit sounded too good with your range

[@theautismiochian]

Chris, I would love to hear your thoughts on a scream that is in "Contractor" by Lamb of God. Randy Blythe's vocals are absolutely amazing and I've been trying to figure out exactly what he does in his growls but especially in that scream (which may be fry scream?). You've helped a lot with helping me develop my vocals!

[@PiephuhnNik]

SSuuuuper Video !!!!!!!!!

[@desideriaoficial]

Hi Chris! Great insights as always. Maybe you should look into Palaye Royale's Remington Leith. He has a very unique voice and an insight into his voice would be very cool from your perspective!

[@ChesterTheGm]

Very nice!

[@Steve_Rotter]

Wish I could sing. I'm a guitar guy and audio engineer. I think I could.

[@agentorange26]

An analysis of Björn Strid's voice(s) would be very interesting. The man can do a wide range of voices and he's been around for a while without getting enough recognition compared to other extreme singers. A screamer worth of checking out.

[@DissolutionOfficial]

Hey Chris! Do you know the singer/songwriter Elliott Smith? His vocal style is pretty cool and I think it could make a great reaction/vocal analysis video. Huge fan, Thanks!

[@basvangeest5485]

Good video! It’s interesting because i can very much do what you do here, and flow back and forth between the sounds. But when i think fry i think more of bring me the horizon - can you feel my heart for example. Or chester bennington with that ‘shut up when i’m talking to you’ part. That very sort of distressed high sound, but probably not very loud in reality. And whereas what you do in this video works well for me, what i call fry just causes me a lot of tension somehow, even if i try to do with without much volume.

[@MinuitMidnight]

I think you can fry on the vocal cord or you can fry with your false cord ,so adding fry to a note is actualy correct

[@chrisliepe]

Yes you can, but 'adding fry to the primary cords' isn't the sound and intensity we mostly hear from what you'd consider a "fry scream". That intensity and thickness is brought about by constriction/compression as I show in this video.

[@MinuitMidnight]

@@chrisliepe For sure

[@DJLOSERMIND]

Hey teach, you an use the technique while inhaling. I learned that people can sing while inhaling. But it sounds more like screeching if you use enough pressure. Like some of what chino Moreno does. Or Mike Patton...

[@chrisliepe]

Yes!!! I’ve done a video on the inhales awhile back. It’s super fun!! :) gotta b a little careful but ya those chino screeches are super accessible this way! :)

Could you take a look at Co Shu Nie??? She goes through a lot of vocal acrobatics in her songs Asphyxia and Bullet.

[@alexanderlindsey7134]

do a lot of bands run FX for aggressive vox in live settings? like stereo widening and things you would find in a studio vocal chain, or just typically a little reverb and talent?

[@billstenberg]

If you haven't yet, could you make a video specifically on Serj Tankian?!?! He's fun to sing!

[@chrisliepe]

I have made several! Search the channel :) !

[@OTGSavage]

Hey Chris, I was wondering if you could ever look at Tom g warrior from Celtic frost and figure what vocal technique he’s using, would you ever try something for that?

[@rezonshinde7948]

The transition that is being mentioned in this video is something I heard in 'This is the new shit' by Marilyn Manson as well

[@goth-soul]

A lot of truths here. I think most people think the vocals of top vocalists just come out naturally. Far from it. Every singer records with layering and vocal enhancement plug-in, and I'm not talking about just adding reverb and delay.

[@jae2O]

@chrisliepe do you have videos on how to use things like ableton/audacity/Pro tools to clean up vocals and any recommendations on software both free and paid?

[@mrr5835]

Great vid! Ill have to watch this about 20 more times and prac along with it. 😊 PS: Your larynx seems to follow similar head voice/chest voice patterns, BUT it does seem to "slam" upwards. If you have time, how much are you thinking about larynx placement?

[@Fail7515]

In general I agree with you I think the Martin sounds "better". The only part is was critically listening to was the electric guitar solo and the Martin cut way better and just sat better in the "mix". Although it was a different day, and, the levels could have been different. Benefits of two guitars. Tonal variation when recording guitars in a mix. If you ever explored alternate tunings you could bring both for when you wanted a different tuning. As a 70s and 80s guy Zeppelin used many. Drop D, DADGAD, open G, ect.

I actually struggle trying to find the right tone properly. I do compress my voice like i'm constipated, but i don't like the sound. I want to find how to exhale scream loud and higher pitch and then sing with grit. I don't really get how to do it personally

[@deanosphenos7960]

When I think of FRY SCREAM, I think of TREVOR STRNAD (TBDM), STEVIE BOISER (INFERI) or KYLE "GUMBY" GUNTHER (BATTLECROSS).
