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.

[@vosoryan]

Damn dude your screams have come a long way.

[@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.

[@benschnose400]

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

[@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

[@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

[@jamesgardiner8879]

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

[@mukherjee22]

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

[@jengelken1]

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.

[@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.

[@mariogutierrezspeedcuber5925]

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.🤘

[@frankunodostres473]

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

[@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/

[@thebackspacers]

Amazing video!!!

[@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

[@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.

[@k.cjayne578]

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

[@TheJake3]

You’re awesome!

[@RevontuletMusic]

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)

[@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

[@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!

[@jesseschuberg1878]

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 :/)

[@philosophiabme]

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

[@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.

[@ChesterTheGm]

Very nice!

[@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!

[@PiephuhnNik]

SSuuuuper Video !!!!!!!!!

[@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!

[@DavidAskerMusik]

Nice creaming, love vocal fry

[@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?

[@chucksano]

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

[@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"?

[@MrFordy90]

Accidental 'Waking the Fallen' vocals 🤣

[@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!

[@12DisturbedGuy93]

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 🤘

[@romanborky5696]

Fantastic exampleAa

[@LichtenfelsAndre]

Genial 👌

[@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

[@DaleStrife]

Ive always been able to naturally scream, but cant seem to get the gritty singing down. Thanks for all you do, Chris!

[@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.

[@shivastorm8680]

I’m not sure if you talked about this previously, but I would love to see you talk about Travis Ryan’s vocals from Cattle Decapitation!

[@josephl6727]

Fry scream is so much easier for me. Doesn't hurt and It's much easier to get more words in if it's needed for a song. It's my favorite.🎉

[@user-ii1ke9ex4u]

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

[@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.

[@kristianbysheim7685]

Takk!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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?

[@pablodm9]

Now I realize I might have voice dysmorphia 😮‍💨

[@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.

[@deanosphenos7960]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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?

[@chrisliepe]

Check out the course I've done with Spencer Sotelo at mymusicalvoice.com. It includes an entire vocal production course!

[@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.

[@nosir531]

Hey Chris, i have not really trained my voice before but I would like to get into singing, screaming and all that however, my voice seems to have a gap where it is difficult to reach higher notes and my voice starts cracking. Is there anything i can do about it or any idea what the problem is?

[@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!

[@risingdead5721]

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

[@El_Alf]

Hey Chris I've been watching a lot of your videos on compression and when I try the lift something heavy technique I feel like I'm just going into vocal fry and not compression. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? I think I may be too focused on the sound and trying to add it in with the fry but I'm not doing it on purpose.

[@chrisliepe]

That's it exactly! If you try for a specific sound too soon, you end up using harmful techniques. You have to get into the state of not caring and abandoning into sensations in order for it to work. I help you do that in THIS course: www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/the-aggressive-vocalist-s-master-plan-of-attack

[@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.

[@LuminateTheWorld]

Everytime i try this, i end up with my throat feeling sore/ hurting the more i do it. I'm obviously doing something wrong but I do not know what it is.

[@lenadesp]

Hi Chris! I've been trying to learn how to scream and I've got stuck. I don't feel any pain while screaming but afterwords my headvoice is kinda damaged, like if I couldn't "access" it with the freedom that I normally do, a thing that affects a lot my stiles since I try to sing a little Ado-ish, so my head voice and the mixed voice are really important for me Have you got any tip or how can I fix this issue? Than you!!

[@chrisliepe]

If your head voice feels affected after practicing screaming of any kind... you're going to hard and not using the correct placements... You're also likely not supporting correctly and going too hard on your vocal tract which will cause damage! You need to start with some simple speech level engagements that show you how to feel out proper support first! I help you exactly with this in my free course linked in the video description or pinned comment!

Hi, a quick question. How ado’s cream is different from classic frying cream? Like she is actual screaming?

[@user-cn6pz2lg1x]

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...

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

[@user-ii1ke9ex4u]

I wonder what type of screams and rasp Ado uses

[@srshadow2303]

Hi Chris, don't know if you're gonna see this, but are this things you're saying only applicable to producing songs or are they useful while singing live in terms of not really having much to work with in terms of layers, backing vocals, etc.

Absolutely applies to live as well!
