as a mixer and producer i find very funny how silly screams can sound on their own, but add a blast beat and some distorted guitars and it suddenly sounds badass
I learned how to fry scream when I was practicing villain voices for Zelda breath of the wild because I was bored, so I've randomly learned how to do it.
@@QuelTipoSulTubo well maybe more like gutterals, I've learned how to do lows through Zelda, if you got insta or something I can message you on, I can send you an audio file of some of my more recent vocals, of course they still need a hell ton more conditioning and practice but I think I'm doing pretty well with em if you wanna hear
@@montantafunk2153 I'm glad my parents encourage me to find music instead of pushing some away, but follow your dreams! One part of life you dread to deal with is childhood, keep on.
Yo, the 'inhale then the abrupt hold your breath' step to close your vocal chords and the 'get punched in the stomach by an oompa-loompa man' while holding your breath with you demonstrating, might have actually made it click in my brain. Now to make it louder.
2:07 the moment when I realize I've been doing it correctly before... Thanks this whole time I thought I was just gargling phlegm and not doing an actual fry, this confirmed it for me so now I can finally make better progress! You're awesome riffshop
Hey, could you explain how you do the gargling noise? It still sounds kinda like a vocal fry but more "wet", what is the actual difference in making this particular sound? When I try to do as the video says I end up just doing vocal fry again.
@@MishiaEatingUnicorn honestly I still think the "wetness" of a fry scream is created by phlegm/spit, but it's very different from gargling phlegm or spit. If your issue is that you keep going into regular vocal fry, all I can really say is practice and maybe move a little "higher up" in your vocal chords if that makes sense. I actually started learning to scream from Andy Cizek's video which is a great video to get you started, I mean like my comment implies this video came a bit after I started learning to scream, but anyhow, like Andy Cizek says, to create a fry scream you want to just try and add air to a vocal fry sound. It'll sound really weak at first but the more you practice it (even if it's not with the intent of practicing and youre kinda just screaming for fun) it'll start sounding heavier. It also might not sound that good when you're just screaming to yourself, so I'd highly suggest you record your practice to make note of progress and I guarantee you'll be surprised by how good it actually sounds with some time, also a good practice imo to just record covers of some of your favorite songs/songs you know just for fun and to hear your progress. If you want more details or more specifics I'd be glad to help on discord and I could send you some audio file examples, etc. Keep in mind though we're both beginners here, I started my journey roughly a month ago and I'm pretty proud of the progress I've made, I might even release some covers on yt in a couple months, and I'm sure you'll be able to as well!
@@zenyros I gotta be honest, every single tutorial that said to just add air/power to a vocal fry didn't work for me, no matter how engaged my diaphragm was or how much air i pushed through. If I remember correctly, David says the method requires full vocal fold closure, which vocal fry is close, but not quite there, which is why he said to start off by acting like you're about to get hit, which engages your diaphragm more than vocal fry does. That tip alone is what helped me achieve fry screams. I can only enunciate with mid screams, but with some experimentation I can figure out highs and lows too, all because of that one tip. I've been false chord screaming for 7 years and singing, including the utilization of vocal compression (like M. Shadows from A7X), for two and a half, but fry screams were so close but so far. I won't say vocal fry has no place in music, because even in some of my songs I use it, although very sparingly, but it definitely isn't a great starting point for fry screaming outside of learning how to compress your vocal folds in a certain manner. Sorry if I come across as talking shit to you or Andy, been up waaay too long. Mad respect for taking the time to find your fry scream!
@@MarksmanFromHell Oh yea nah, in fact I think it's a much too common misconception for people to start out with fry screams than false chord, which in my opinion false chord is much more natural to go into and it only took about 2 days of practice to get the hang of it, versus probably like 3 weeks of learning to fry scream. After I practiced false chord it also felt harder doing fry screams because I kept accidentally going into false chord. In any case, I personally prefer the sound of fry screams over false chords just because it feels more "emotional" to me, especially because you can hold fry screams for substantially longer than you can false chords. But yeah don't worry this didn't come off as offensive at all, literally just you stating your point of view/personal experiences which I very much appreciate!
I just got my first legitimate fry scream this evening. The past few months I’ve taken up vocal lessons and finally got myself to engage that nasty, brutal, yet simple voice. Cheers, thanks for the video, I’ve learned more from you in this vidja than I thought I would. Again, thank you.

With many vocal technique videos on TH-cam, vocalists will tell you "do this" and not explain how to, nor what's physically happening when using a certain technique. This video explained everything perfectly. Thanks! 😊
Literally just unlocked my fry scream while driving down the road. Went thru all your emails an videos an have been playing around. An I just unlocked. Thank you so much. Now I wanna go deeper into your programs.
Best tutorial on this. Unlike others you actually contextualise the process. So many other tutors talk about this technique like you can just do it, asif it's like flicking a switch, asif it's totally normal and easy as pie.
Hardly anyone covers the fact that not all techniques work the same across different people. I'm glad you covered it because that fact can lead people down a path of damaging their voice if they don't know this.
You were the first one to succeed in making me understand how to produce this technique. I had the biggest revelation about this technique thanks to you! Thank you so much.
first and foremost.. that thumbnail tho.. ME: ( started trying couple of times ) MySis: oi! are you losing your shite again or something? Clock: 4:05 am hahaha
Started learning with my growls, and they came so naturally. Gutturals and growls were easy but the screams are completely different for me. This video is great and explains how to start in an amazing way. Wish more people could see this because it stopped me in my tracks on some key misconceptions that I've had. Thank you for the video and I can't wait for more of your work!
BRUHHH you are amazing! I’ve been going through TH-cam for YEARS trying to start learning how to fry scream. Yours is the ONLY method that has worked even a little bit for me. THANK YOUUUUUU
Thank you! Ive been playing with different screams for over a decade now but this anatomical distinction was a lightbulb moment for me. Now i know how it should feel to do it without damaging my chords
I have a dog and he growls with a very low pitch sometimes and it's scary if you wake up to it. If you try to make that low pitch growl, then I believe you're one step closer. Remember, the sound needs to feel like it's from the top of the mouth and not from the throat. One way I check is to see if I'm doing it right is if I put my lips together (but not closed - similar to whistling) and the lips feel like they vibrate, and that the air I blow out stutters like a tremolo effect (or talking to a fan). The other comments about the gargling flem also work. With this method, it helps give you the feeling and you can start to control the frequency yourself instead of what other people say (you'll be able to increase the force as you progress...). I felt that there was a range (from around the middle of the mouth to back) where the effect could be created. Further forward gave a deeper rumble while further back gave a coarse, more wet sound. Like he said, everyone is different and so this may not work for you. An example is that gargling and growling are really easily for me, but I couldn't get my head around what other people told me from other videos. No matter how many times I tried (I was also scared of damaging my vocals). While all tutorials are consistent with the fundamentals and what not to do, what tutorials lack are the 'uniqueness' should I say - different methods or techniques to practice. This tutorial was important for me as he talked about a wet sound and a kinda gargling sound. From the comments, I can see that many people have already got a feeling, but just haven't realised that they're already half way there...
I'm slowly but surely getting better, before I was just gargling spit in my throat, now that's not happening anymore, thank you for this tutorial, very helpful!!!
I’m a natural diaphragm breather, I thought that when I was breathing with my stomach it’s wrong. I didn’t see anyone do that, but now I know. Because I’m destined vocalist. 😂
I’m like 8-14 days into fry scream training. And I think I’m finally getting it! Now I’m tryna teach myself to say words in gutterals lol (yes for anyone wondering I did watch the gutteral video)
just found this after a few years of teaching myself how to scream, biggest advice I can give to people struggling is to branch out and listen to a lot of different artists! I grew up listening to Linkin Park (rest in peace Chester) and his screams were absolutely impossible for me to emulate until I found some very different screamers, like Keith Buckley of ETID. Trying to make yourself scream like other artists obviously isn't the goal, but it helped me to recognize the positioning and tension in my vocal cords, which gives me steps to practice on.
I finally figured out how to do it in a way my body understands. So you know the whisper scream everyone does? Hold your mouth/ throat in the same way while also singing the note that corresponds to it, which is usually in the G4-C5 range, then add more air. The secret I was missing for these high screams was you have to aim your real vocal chords at the root note even though it almost doesnt manifest in the sound at all. Its kinda hard to hear it until it clicks for you. For example Underoath Reinventing your exit is a C5, Meshuggah bleed is at a B4, the chorus of Corpse - Code Mistake is an A#4. One note in that area will probably match your natural resonance and be way easier so give it a try. For me its A#4. I struggled then i just stumbled into it somehow, and now vocal fry is unlocked!
Didn't need the tutorial, but wanted to hear what you had to say. very well put. Keep doing these, I promise more people than you realize will find use of them.
I can do that since I was 9 years old I'm 13 now i practiced for years even though my parents hated it because I was going through puberty but I can do it easily when I was 9 and even now :)
My fry scream sounds more like a voice with heavy ass rasp, even though it's not a "full" scream, I like it, it fells like something different that I have for myself
I signed up for those 4 videos like a month ago? And today I can’t believe I actually nailed the fry scream!!!! Still needs improvement but I actually managed to do it!!! So THANK YOU!!!!
2:00 I do not understand this part. When I do this I do not get that sound. I get something that sounds like someone who's been smoking cigarettes for 50 years straining (although I don't smoke or drink and I never have) and I always strain or scratch my vocal chords and my throat when doing this and I don't feel anything in my soft pallet. I have the opposite sound for me I sound very dry and airy and I just can't get that wet growling sound.
THANK YOU for doing a tutorial that actually says how it works. I remember when I was trying to learn how to do a fry scream from yt tutorials that "taught" that this "weak vocal fry" is the basis for the actual fry scream,wasting my time and effort to get there. For any other folk that want to figure out fry screams: what I'd suggest is that you go to a gig (after this whole thing ends ofc) of a band that you know has a vocalist who does fry screams. It's a whole different thing when you actually hear this technique being used live. And while you're there,try to mimic what you hear with all those things that you've heard being said in this video in mind. And one small tip from me: fry scream kinda feels as if you were inhaling air,altho you're actually exhaling it. I know it doesn't make much sense now,but it's also a tip that helped me back then when I got some first screams but was still struggling to make them more firm. That's just how the airflow works with this technique
Is exhaling that air supposed to male you feel dry??? 🤨🤨🤨 I feel dry after I attempt the tuturial but I always make sure to well hydrate while I do it 😅😅😅
Can somebody tell me another way to do a correct fry distortion? I've watched and tried this video since like a month ago and haven't configured nor did fry scream / distortion correctly (i stopped whenever my throat felt abnormal). I can do low guttural scream but sucks at fry or high screams. Thanks.
Use the floating ribs to reserve air, learn to vibrate your diaphragm and move the noise from the pit. Allow yourself to feel a drop and then heave up. It takes time. I am 6 months, but determination, practice, instruction, and proper warm-ups have made it come along. You learn to breathe and speak properly, doing these vocal distortions can actually make you gain a clean singing voice.
I've been struggling for a year or more. The past you mentioned about the tension kinda helps. I can do a really soft fry. It's distorted, but there's no power. Whenever I try to push through with my diaphragm, I choke. I notice I have no voice what so ever in my fry s̶c̶r̶e̶ whispers lol But that starting point you made, where when you get to that point, make that louder. That's where I should've started. You have more voice in yours, I have none. It's the voice I was missing. Thank you.
Should a whisper be introduced while conducting a fry scream, and if so, how is it possible that the vocal folds are completely closed? Im confused because most vocal coaches say they should be 100% closed, but whenever i watch a tutorial on how its done, it sounds like a whisper mixed with fry.
2:15 It seems to me that it wil hurt if i do it for a long period. It kinda "scratches" my vocal cords. I believe it shouldn't hurt anything, usually when something hurts, we're doing it wrong. What should I do to correct it?
I struggled for a while to figure it out, but I recently got it while yelling at traffic lol. Yelling cues me into how to use my diaphragm properly and build support. Was trying to get the sound from way too high in my throat. Great guide and the mechanics are fascinating!!🤘🏻🗣
@@anafigueroa-carrillo2721 actually I'm pretty sure she does fry but she practiced and experimented very low and powerful fry screams and that's very hard to do for most women that's why she's so unique
@@nemesyssss No, she definitely does a false cord with slam tendencies. A fry wouldn’t be able to achieve the full sound that a fry scream does. The most I’ve seen of that being done is Alissa White-Gluz. Tatiana is definitely very unique but she is a false cord vocalist.
When I practiced screaming and singing with grit my clean vocals also got better especially my high range. I think it has to do with the increased diaphragmatic support that you need to do metal vocals without hurting yourself.
as a mixer and producer i find very funny how silly screams can sound on their own, but add a blast beat and some distorted guitars and it suddenly sounds badass

You were the first one to succeed in making me understand how to produce this technique. I had the biggest revelation about this technique thanks to you! Thank you so much.
first and foremost.. that thumbnail tho..

HANDS DOWN BEST TUTORIAL I FOUND VERY CLEAR AND STARTED TO GET IT QUICKLY
Started learning with my growls, and they came so naturally. Gutturals and growls were easy but the screams are completely different for me. This video is great and explains how to start in an amazing way. Wish more people could see this because it stopped me in my tracks on some key misconceptions that I've had. Thank you for the video and I can't wait for more of your work!
BRUHHH you are amazing! I’ve been going through TH-cam for YEARS trying to start learning how to fry scream. Yours is the ONLY method that has worked even a little bit for me. THANK YOUUUUUU
This is the perfect tutorial! Thank you very much!
It’s fun
It’s pedagogical
It’s very graphic
It’s super friendly
It has everything!
Thanks!
Thank you! Ive been playing with different screams for over a decade now but this anatomical distinction was a lightbulb moment for me. Now i know how it should feel to do it without damaging my chords
I have a dog and he growls with a very low pitch sometimes and it's scary if you wake up to it. If you try to make that low pitch growl, then I believe you're one step closer. Remember, the sound needs to feel like it's from the top of the mouth and not from the throat. One way I check is to see if I'm doing it right is if I put my lips together (but not closed - similar to whistling) and the lips feel like they vibrate, and that the air I blow out stutters like a tremolo effect (or talking to a fan). The other comments about the gargling flem also work. With this method, it helps give you the feeling and you can start to control the frequency yourself instead of what other people say (you'll be able to increase the force as you progress...). I felt that there was a range (from around the middle of the mouth to back) where the effect could be created. Further forward gave a deeper rumble while further back gave a coarse, more wet sound.
Like he said, everyone is different and so this may not work for you. An example is that gargling and growling are really easily for me, but I couldn't get my head around what other people told me from other videos. No matter how many times I tried (I was also scared of damaging my vocals).
While all tutorials are consistent with the fundamentals and what not to do, what tutorials lack are the 'uniqueness' should I say - different methods or techniques to practice. This tutorial was important for me as he talked about a wet sound and a kinda gargling sound. From the comments, I can see that many people have already got a feeling, but just haven't realised that they're already half way there...
One of the best tutorials in getting to the fry scream. Took me at least a year on and off but finally got there 🤘
Lol I just realized, I've known how to do it since I was a kid
I'm slowly but surely getting better, before I was just gargling spit in my throat, now that's not happening anymore, thank you for this tutorial, very helpful!!!
I’m a natural diaphragm breather, I thought that when I was breathing with my stomach it’s wrong. I didn’t see anyone do that, but now I know. Because I’m destined vocalist. 😂
Actually every person is born as a diaphragm breather, but most of us change our breathing so we have to get used to it again.
Deathwing oh... oopsy
I’m like 8-14 days into fry scream training. And I think I’m finally getting it! Now I’m tryna teach myself to say words in gutterals lol (yes for anyone wondering I did watch the gutteral video)
Dude, thanks so much for the tips. I've learned it in about 5 minutes thanks to you! And I never knew I could scream like that!
The visualizers of your throat really help. They’re hard to stop looking at too 😂
2:44 lol my relation with my body is one of mutual spite
just found this after a few years of teaching myself how to scream, biggest advice I can give to people struggling is to branch out and listen to a lot of different artists! I grew up listening to Linkin Park (rest in peace Chester) and his screams were absolutely impossible for me to emulate until I found some very different screamers, like Keith Buckley of ETID. Trying to make yourself scream like other artists obviously isn't the goal, but it helped me to recognize the positioning and tension in my vocal cords, which gives me steps to practice on.
I finally figured out how to do it in a way my body understands. So you know the whisper scream everyone does? Hold your mouth/ throat in the same way while also singing the note that corresponds to it, which is usually in the G4-C5 range, then add more air. The secret I was missing for these high screams was you have to aim your real vocal chords at the root note even though it almost doesnt manifest in the sound at all. Its kinda hard to hear it until it clicks for you. For example Underoath Reinventing your exit is a C5, Meshuggah bleed is at a B4, the chorus of Corpse - Code Mistake is an A#4. One note in that area will probably match your natural resonance and be way easier so give it a try. For me its A#4. I struggled then i just stumbled into it somehow, and now vocal fry is unlocked!
Why is TH-cam's notif 23 hours late... In any case I clicked as soon as I saw it
Didn't need the tutorial, but wanted to hear what you had to say. very well put. Keep doing these, I promise more people than you realize will find use of them.
I can do that since I was 9 years old I'm 13 now i practiced for years even though my parents hated it because I was going through puberty but I can do it easily when I was 9 and even now :)
I just randomly did the fry scream while watching the vocal cords part of the video. Amazing video! Thanks!
My fry scream sounds more like a voice with heavy ass rasp, even though it's not a "full" scream, I like it, it fells like something different that I have for myself
I signed up for those 4 videos like a month ago? And today I can’t believe I actually nailed the fry scream!!!! Still needs improvement but I actually managed to do it!!! So THANK YOU!!!!
0:58 Basically the whole video in 5 seconds
This is actually a realy good explonation. I've been screaming for a couple years now and i've never really known how to explain it. Thanks man
Stop imagining yourself singing Suicide Silence in school talent show. It would never happen*-*
I can actually scream but it's a different technique and much deeper
@@nobodylol6494 it's the same for me.
you got me except with pray for plagues lol
@@skelly4197 ayeeee fellow bmth fan i see?
@@nobodylol6494 false cord?
Man, I really needed the "dont give up" pep talk. Just came to this vid after a very unsatisfying practice session
how do you practice this without anyone in your family thinking youve gone insane?
same reason that i never learnt this till the date :")
"You'll realize you're more capable than you think; and that is a powerful fucking feeling".
God damn right it is.
2:00 I do not understand this part. When I do this I do not get that sound. I get something that sounds like someone who's been smoking cigarettes for 50 years straining (although I don't smoke or drink and I never have) and I always strain or scratch my vocal chords and my throat when doing this and I don't feel anything in my soft pallet. I have the opposite sound for me I sound very dry and airy and I just can't get that wet growling sound.
After about a month of embarrassing myself I finally did it yesterday 👌🏻
THANK YOU for doing a tutorial that actually says how it works. I remember when I was trying to learn how to do a fry scream from yt tutorials that "taught" that this "weak vocal fry" is the basis for the actual fry scream,wasting my time and effort to get there. For any other folk that want to figure out fry screams: what I'd suggest is that you go to a gig (after this whole thing ends ofc) of a band that you know has a vocalist who does fry screams. It's a whole different thing when you actually hear this technique being used live. And while you're there,try to mimic what you hear with all those things that you've heard being said in this video in mind. And one small tip from me: fry scream kinda feels as if you were inhaling air,altho you're actually exhaling it. I know it doesn't make much sense now,but it's also a tip that helped me back then when I got some first screams but was still struggling to make them more firm. That's just how the airflow works with this technique
Is exhaling that air supposed to male you feel dry??? 🤨🤨🤨 I feel dry after I attempt the tuturial but I always make sure to well hydrate while I do it 😅😅😅
@@itscoolerthatway It might feel a bit dry,yes. But with time it'll become less and less noticable
You got any videos of your vocals?
@@PrimevalArt Kind of. I do vocals in a band called Malformation. You can find our album "A Torn Face Of The Future" and some live performances on yt
Man, I just did it for the first time in my life while watching your video. Still a long way to go to master it, but MAN... you're the man.
I learned fry scream in like one month.
I don’t know what kind of scream I learned but I learned it on accident when I was like 8 and tried to scream while doing a Batman voice
Can somebody tell me another way to do a correct fry distortion? I've watched and tried this video since like a month ago and haven't configured nor did fry scream / distortion correctly (i stopped whenever my throat felt abnormal).
I can do low guttural scream but sucks at fry or high screams.
Thanks.

Use the floating ribs to reserve air, learn to vibrate your diaphragm and move the noise from the pit. Allow yourself to feel a drop and then heave up. It takes time. I am 6 months, but determination, practice, instruction, and proper warm-ups have made it come along. You learn to breathe and speak properly, doing these vocal distortions can actually make you gain a clean singing voice.
I truly wanna learn this and sing like Devin Townsend. That´ll get me more chicks and dudes!
2 days in and I've already made considerable progress. Long ways to go still but this was a great starting point.
3:27 beautiful...
I've been struggling for a year or more. The past you mentioned about the tension kinda helps. I can do a really soft fry. It's distorted, but there's no power. Whenever I try to push through with my diaphragm, I choke.
I notice I have no voice what so ever in my fry s̶c̶r̶e̶ whispers lol
But that starting point you made, where when you get to that point, make that louder. That's where I should've started. You have more voice in yours, I have none. It's the voice I was missing.
Thank you.
Should a whisper be introduced while conducting a fry scream, and if so, how is it possible that the vocal folds are completely closed? Im confused because most vocal coaches say they should be 100% closed, but whenever i watch a tutorial on how its done, it sounds like a whisper mixed with fry.
Finally, got it from the first explanation. Thank you
You don´t have understand how fast im really am
I'm betting not as fast as when you're in bed
This helped a ton understanding the fry scream so thanks!
You look like Eddy from TwoSetViolin when you wear glasses lol
we truly are everywhere huh
@@tazppn5575 definitely
This is the rock version of eddy
OMFG, this is the first working explanation. I've tried to do as you said and it came out.
Thanks!
2:15 It seems to me that it wil hurt if i do it for a long period. It kinda "scratches" my vocal cords. I believe it shouldn't hurt anything, usually when something hurts, we're doing it wrong.
What should I do to correct it?
this is actually a really helpful tutorial compared to the other ones i’ve seen, this was pretty cool
I can do it it’s just I feel too much tension on my throat I don’t know how to do it with my diaphragm
I struggled for a while to figure it out, but I recently got it while yelling at traffic lol. Yelling cues me into how to use my diaphragm properly and build support. Was trying to get the sound from way too high in my throat. Great guide and the mechanics are fascinating!!🤘🏻🗣
I practice while trying to push out a huge poop
Good technique, I gotta try that some time
This video seemed very helpful and I'm going to start trying to learn how to fry scream with this video.
I just wanna scream like Tatiana ^~^
That's why I'm here too
same i love her
She does false cord, not fry. Fry is harder to sound more aggressive. If you want that deep, guttural sound, learn how to do a false cord scream.
@@anafigueroa-carrillo2721 actually I'm pretty sure she does fry but she practiced and experimented very low and powerful fry screams and that's very hard to do for most women that's why she's so unique
@@nemesyssss No, she definitely does a false cord with slam tendencies. A fry wouldn’t be able to achieve the full sound that a fry scream does. The most I’ve seen of that being done is Alissa White-Gluz. Tatiana is definitely very unique but she is a false cord vocalist.
Best explanation I’ve seen so far!!
is it weird that after attempting to fry scream, my clean vocals get better?
I'm not vocal coach or anything, but I suppose that it is caused because of the chord closure that fry Screams creates
@@JuanGomez-se8wh thanks! i've honestly been wondering this for a really long time lol
Noticed as well, Maybe because it’s training your voice for tougher stuff that your clean vocals become easier to do
Same. :D I feel like I finally started to actually be able to sing since starting to practice this.
When I practiced screaming and singing with grit my clean vocals also got better especially my high range. I think it has to do with the increased diaphragmatic support that you need to do metal vocals without hurting yourself.
So that tip at 1:48 changed everything for me. I can fry scream now!!
Everytime I try this, I can't stop laughing at the fact that I sound like an old man trying to walk while having hip-problems
