Question

Can I learn how to scream sing if my voice is bad?

Community Answer

Anyone can sing if they practice. Just use your diaphragm, drink lots of water, practice breathing techniques and put lots of emotion into your singing.

Question

I can only scream when I'm full of energy. How can I build up energy?

Community Answer

Try staying still for long periods of time, so the energy builds up. There are natural remedies, of course, but you could always try caffeine instead.

Question

Why would anyone want to scream instead of sing?

Community Answer

Some songs use screaming purposefully to give the music a particular tone. Other people just think it's fun and energetic.

Question

What can I do if I'm at an all day gig and I'm scream singing?

Community Answer

Try to take lots of breaks, if you can, and the day or maybe two days before, go on vocal rest. Don't forget to warm up before the show.

Question

How do I get my screams to be louder?

Community Answer

I get my screams louder by sort of "letting it loose". I act almost angry and mean when screaming, so that it feels like I'm letting my rage out through my vocal chords.

Question

How do I breath from my diaphragm?

Community Answer

Rather than your chest inflating when you breathe, it should be from your stomach, which is about where your diaphragm is. This helps project your voice much better, to get a fuller and more powerful sound.

Question

I'm not sure how to practice at home without freaking out my family. What should I do?

Dakota Doty

Community Answer

Why care what your family thinks? Push opinions to the side if this play is what matters to you at this point of time. If you're worried as to how they may react, let them know you're practicing.

Question

I'm feeling some kind of pressure on the sides of my throat. Is that a bad sign? How do I recover from it?

Community Answer

Drink lots of hot/warm water or tea, but make sure it isn't too hot. Rest your voice for a few days. If it doesn't get better, consult your doctor.

Question

What if your voice cracks? Do i just have to wait to get older or do something else to help?

Community Answer

If you're going through puberty it certainly won't help, especially if you're a boy. However, you can train your voice not to crack by learning to control the muscles in your throat better. There are lots of tutorials online about this and most music teachers will know as well, so just ask around.

Question

You say there's a possibility of muscle strain - what muscles could be strained?

Community Answer

Vocal chords are generally strained when doing it wrong. Screaming might also cause you to strain a muscle in your neck, or even your abs if you're screaming a lot.

Question

What should I do if my throat is sore from screaming?

Community Answer

Limit the amount of time each day that you spend screaming, to avoid a sore throat entirely. Use things like honey and lemon to soothe your throat while you let it rest.

Can I go low with scream singing?

You can't. Your screaming and screaming pitch is naturally high.

Question

How can I do a transition from growling to singing?

Community Answer

Start with your normal singing tone, then bring it down into a raspy growl. Make sure to get the emotion through by thinking of something that makes you mad, or convince yourself that you are. Right after, take a quick breath and begin singing normal again.
