Easy and Safe Metal Screaming Tutorial (Beginner Level)

- Hey, I hope you find this helpful :)
Don't forget to work with a voice teacher online or in person if you can, and remember to be kind to yourself as you're working on your vocals. It can feel awkward to practice since your instrument is literally part of your body - you can't exactly see your instrument, and it can feel oddly personal. That's totally fine :) A teacher will be able to help you with your personal vocal struggles better than any TH-cam video can!
Like any other skill, it just takes time and practice to build up stamina and precision. It's incredibly worth it just for the good it does for the soul, and for annoying rude neighbours. I know you'll use your new powers wisely :'D
Happy practicing! \m/

I wish I could practice this without my family thinking im dying
Me too
I practice while driving. Only time I'm alone 😂
@@rosecraftstar1657 same loll

I wish I could practice this without my parents thinking I'm possessed
My mom used to sing to me like this for bed
If that’s a dark joke, it doesn’t sound good lmaooooooo nice
Based mom
I just laughed so hard at that 🤣😂
Now I’m in a padded room
It's called character building
I am screaming. In my room. Like a mad man. Only for a while before i burst out into uncontrollable laughter. This is the happiest a random tutorial vid ever made me feel
Same 😂😂 it’s fun
I sit. In my desolate room. No lights. No music. Just anger.

omg i did it and my dog got scared 😂😂
i always love how the metal screaming ppl are the calmest ppl most of the time (uknow, exept when theyr screaming)
They take the stress out by screaming
Devin Townsend exemplifies this to the extreme
Its not true. Every person ist different
Been doing it for a few years now and legit have had people genuinely surprised I scream and listen to the music. Lol a lot of people just say I'm chill or kind. I'm like a mini Darius
Metal is just learning how to express the pain you feel when you stub your toe
Couldnt explains it better my self
After becoming a parent you realize metal screamers are using their parenting voice only louder
And when you hit ur ankle with the scooyer
HYSTERICAL!!!
or step on a lego
Me: aw she has such a calm sweet voice I love it
Her 2 seconds later: 👹ĂÄĄÂÀĄÁÅH👹

I've been practicing for a while in the car and I finally got the courage to try this at a concert. I thought the people in front of me were upset when they turned around. I apologized and one of them said, "no bro, you nailed it". I didn't think it was perfect but at least I know I can get by and it makes shows way more fun!
Ill never peak like this random at a metal concert getting told he nailed it
Congrats! I've also found I can 'let go' a lot easier when I'm driving.
thats sick dude!
youre winning
Man...idk how to add volume to my scream without hurting my throat. I'll keep playing with it. Good job dude
It's a girl 😕
@@Haxior5506 so are you
@@Haxior5506dude can be used towards any gender 😭
Some singing technique needs to be applied here, power comes from the diaphragm NOT by straining the throat muscles. But the other thing to note is that this kind of singing is done in a microphone, end of story. It's not exactly meant to be an a cappella, unplugged kind of style anyway!
@@Haxior5506it? White knighting and insulting at the same time lol.
i sounded like a dying goat trying yo do this in the middle of the night XD
perfect LOL
So did I
This comment straight up killed me xD
Me too haha
Haha oh you got babahaha sound instead of yrahhhh
The way she just fluctuates from the scariest metal voice to a really nice friendly voice in the same breath has my dying 😭 it's so impressive
Metalheads tend to be the friendliest people I know, so...makes sense to me. XD
Scariest metal voice? Are you serious?🤔
She sounds like an angry school kid.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Impressive? Just growl and talk 🤨 anybody can do that
tru
I’m being 100% serious when I say this, thank you so much for uploading this tutorial, I’m a counselor for a bunch of amazing and wonderful Girl Scouts and they love when I sing Girl Scout songs in the “metal death voice”, and I’ve been wanting to study and improve my technique so I’m not risking vocal strain, I think they’ll love it!! Much love!! 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Awww that's strangely wholesome ❤️❤️❤️
@@thaliajones9330for real. Lol.
*Gathers around the campfire....*

"Girl scouts go YAAAYYYY!!!!!"
Oh my goodness! Bless you, that is adorable! Probably the sweetest thing I've read in months.
as a former girl scout, i would have loved this as a kid omg
I love the TH-cam "algorithm" because there is absolutely no reason for me to see this given my typical browsing and yet here we are
Well, my neighbours already love the drumming, I can’t wait to start practising this in the middle of the night.
Haha yes!! 😂 Make sure to say the same line over and over as well and nothing else 😂!!
“I DO NOT FEAR THE DARKNESSSS!” Which will be even funnier since it’s the middle of the night. They’ll move out in no time 😂🎉🎉!!
It's part of the process 🙂
lol
I nearly died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG same hahahahaha I play drums since a few month and my neighbour under me hates me for it and now I'm like.... hmmm what if I start practicing screaming xD
My intention isn't learning to sing
I just want to be able to scream without ruining my voice. This was very helpful
Just an usual thursday evening
if you're being chased and you start fucking metal screaming I'm sure the chaser is going to stop
Same just to scare my brothers lmao and be scarier ig-
Same same

I’m Vinnie Swage the washed up rocker. I was an 80’s hair metal screamer. I used belt high notes effortlessly. Unfortunately In my older years, I still have a voice but no longer can any high notes and have to adjust my voice to compensate. I’ve jumped right into the contemporary metal and I’ve struggled to get the growl although my range can handle it. I just tried Your technique and now there’s no stopping me. Thank You! 🤘😠🤘
So I just followed along with her instructions, and unholy smokes, I couldn't believe I could do it. I was simply curious, but wow, still can't believe i did that. Simple, straight forward, easy to understand and effective. Fantastic.
Finally my cat takes me seriously when i'm screaming to stop eating my plants thank you !
LMAO
IM DYING 😭✋🏼
WOW XD
😂😂
LOL WHA-
Never realized I was so metal by just reacting to every day stressors, lol
Yeah, that's pretty much most of metal. Venting the bullshit out of your life.
Hence why metalheads are clinically proven to have higher levels of positive emotions. (not a joke, you can look that up)
Lol!!!
@@oxide9679 nice
@@oxide9679 keeping feelings down inside is bad for anyones mental and physical health you have to "puke" them out or scream`em all
@@oxide9679 wow if thats true, i dont want to imagine myself without being a metalhead
Hey, clasically trained singer who is coming over to learn how to scream. Column of breath which is slightly punctuated is super consistent with "traditional" vocals. Found it super helpful that you are so technical. Cheers for this!
I've been practicing screaming for about 10 years and this is really simple way to describe it. You'll see my comment is actually edited because I was going to say this is an interesting technique that i'm excited to try, then for reference did my scream and realized this IS what I was doing haha. I'd just never broken it down. Super cool!
The scream is surprising considering her normal voice is pleasant
I know a dude who probably has the most girl sounding voice as a normal tone that I know and his low screams come straight from hell
most of the people that screams have normal voices
Voices from anyone can be deceiving

Sis, I saw so many screaming tutorials and none of them said to move the jaw. And finally, after all of this years, everything changed for me. Thank you.
Solid! Thank you! I used to do screams really well a few years back but stopped practicing and have been trying to find that technique again! I appreciate you and will continue to practice based off of this
Do not try this at home, kids. Mom won't like it.
I can try it at home since I don’t have a momma
@@recnarak813 well that went 0-100 real fuckin fast
Ya, i know
Yea but my dad won't mind it bc he's a metalhead-
Lucky I don't have one
I‘m an opera singer and this is really good. I‘ve always said metal and opera are close in a lot of ways. The column of air movement thing is legato in opera.
have you ever heard of Nightwish? I feel like you might like them, they combine opera and metal beautifully
This is really reassuring bc I’m an opera singer and I’m trying to learn a metal scream
Say "legato" to me ❤️
@@Koutouzz I think her technique really makes sense. I would suggest you build up slowly- practice for short amounts of time and don’t do anything that hurts.
@@castielwinchester4481 yes, love it!
I can not thank you enough. I have tried to learn how to scream forever and this is the only thing that has taught me. I'm so excited, you are awesome!
NO JOKE. this helped so much. I've been trying for so long, i can finally sorta do it.
I am a bit older and I have a very rude 17 year old son, so I naturally make this sound every day. Now I know I can do it a bit louder and if I use cool lyrics, someone might actually hear me.
Haha maybe 🤣 my almost 4 year old son loves it when I scream whatever I'm trying to get him to do lol.. "get it your caaaar seeeeeaaaaattttttt"
"Go to your room!" "You are grounnnnnnded!!!" in that scream!!😁
This has helped me scream and also get over my fear of darkness. Thanks!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love how you pieced it all together! 🤘🏼
GURL!! My mind is blown, cuz this actually worked! I've seen so many tutorials, and usually they'd have entire playlists or like 40 minutes to explain how to breathe, and I still don't understand what they mean, and then you present one sentence. I imagine my bellybutton touching my spine when I exhale, like you said, I feel how my jaw moves the way you said and I GET IT! Like, I'm so stoked, cause thanks to you I finally get it! Holy shit, I'm so stoked, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us all!
I'm impressed. I'm a metalhead, and I really appreciate someone explaining that screaming doesn't damage your voice. I really loved this tutorial.
Yep! You gotta like scream properly
I wish someone explained me that guitar hurts your hand before i got tendonitis.
The type of screaming she explains here does not, you can absolutely destroy your voice.
@@kadugbuss tf you mean you got tendonitis from guitar playing bruh
@@neger7717 It's very common and all guitarrists have to pay attention to that.
I never did any stretches at the time, I never got any right-hand technique and I was playing 3h every day while applying too much force with my hand.
Today I'm fine and healthy tho, I took care of myself before it was too late.
This is the ASMR we've all been waiting for

For such a short video, this was SO comprehendable: amazing lesson!!!
You have such a beautiful normal voice! This unique beauty get lost completely when you scream. So I would LOVE hearing you sing with your amazting normal voice!
I just skipped ahead to "I do not fear the darkness!" without context, this is the most aggressive self-improvement video I've been recommended today.
That genuinely made me laugh. Thanks for that comment.
Adrienne is the eternal metal scream queen. You couldn't learn this from anyone better.
That one guy from death: About to end dis woman's whole career.
he is dead though...
Hey, a wild FamilyJules appeared. Neat!
Yo hearing this from one of my favorite TH-cam musicians before I even watch is a pretty awesome thing 😁
and then you remember angela gossow exists
Laughs in Jinjer and Obscure Sphinx
you rock, I listened to some of your singing, going from really high to metal screaming, to falsetto in one song. It was really impressive. Awesome!
Thanks!I'm always mad all the time and just screaming like this while going crazy on the guitar, is really great stress relief!!I feel more relaxed already ☺️☺️
Girl, this was so well taught. Your technique is very graspable for someone like me who mostly sings alternative and R&B.
Me too!!
@@zauraleia1066 ohh u too g
I’m 62 and this is a part of learning something new this year. Great job at explaining this whole vocal thing.
You can do it old timer hahahaahah
Hahahaha you are awesome
Wow. Probably the first clip that breaks it down in the easiest way to understand. Thank you!
Ive been looking for videos that helo teach this but all of them were somewhat complicated to some degree, this was 100% comprehensible!
Holy shit this is fantastic. I've been trying for months, hurting my throat every time i practice but this is the first time i've felt great afterwards. thank you so much
love your profile pic🤟🏻
Has to come from the gut

Okay, I absolutely love the analogy to a bad day at work finding the dishes dirty my roomate is a lazy douchebag grunt.
Ohhhhh ouch, that sucks! I imagine growling "WASH THE F*&^%($ DISHES FOR ONCE YOU LAZY DOUCHEBAG" could be very cathartic :D
You guys know each other?😂
Hey Adrienne, I watched this video 3 years ago and it was the video that made me crack the code. 3 Years later I've developed my screams so much and it is all thanks to you! Roses!!
Wow this is impressively well done! I've always wanted to learn how to do this and sing along to stuff like Norma Jean and this was by far the easiest I could follow and learn with. Thank you!!
I often find screaming tutorials cringy to watch as a lot of people who upload them have either not come far in their practice, and/or they don't know how to adequately explain what they are doing. Yet I think you provided a very educational walkthrough, especially as you demonstrated in one breath the difference between exhaling with/without breath support. I think your style of walking through each new step and then repeating the whole chain of steps is helpful to many beginners!
Until I saw this video I thought such a thing would be impossible to explain. And for that matter I didn't even know there was a trick to it!
I'm a woman with a really high pitch voice and I was feeling hopeless about metal screaming technique but this tutorial helped me so much to realize that I can do it too 🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜💜
💀high pitch voice
I've found that women with high pitch voices are unexpectedly good at low growls lol
It doesn't matter if u have a high pitched voice this is the vibration of the vocal chords! I'm a woman too and I didn't even know women could do it too cause I had never seen one. Watch jinjer pisces. She has a high pitched voice too and she's an amazing screamist
high pitch voice is good for hight screams
For some reason that's adorable lol
This is awesome. You’re underpinning this with a lot of classical technique and I love that.
I’ve been listening to Slipknot Korn Metallica my whole life and always wanted to learn how to scream like they do and impress my friends so thank you very much for making this very simple tutorial
As some one who saw both Korn while wearing a Kilt and Slipknot within one week of each other- don't compare them to that shite stain on the music genre that call themselves Metallica.

This is literally exactly what I needed, thank you so much
Just remember that everyone is a little different. Some people can probably adapt to Metal Screaming faster than others. The most important rule is slow and in moderation.
Thankyou

Very true, I've been practicing and working on my sound for a little while now
@@zackjones8556 and it's good to space it out so you don't fuck your voice. It may take longer than you want, but in the end I think it's worth it.
@@dallasjonpaulgrove547 true enough
I love how the tutorial itself is so chill and calmly narrated, and then the scream is just really metal, great video
After that last example I was waiting for the big drop (like in favorite metalcore songs) 🔥

Thank you so much. I've been trying to figure out how to scream for a long time. This video helped so much thank you!
Pro Tip: Don't smoke more than a pack a day. I mean, you shouldn't smoke at all. But if you must, definitely keep it under a pack a day. My stamina is shit anymore.
Tell that to Fabio Lione. He’s smoked his entire career and is one of the best live singers out there.
@@dylanashcroft890 Well good for him, lol. The rest of us should be so lucky.
@@dylanashcroft890 just because one guy still sounds good after smoking doesn't mean it applies to everyone. I'll gladly take advice from your everyday smoking guy who can attest from his personal experience that smoking kills stamina rather than a specific individual who doesn't represent the huge majority of the population.
Smoking IS bad for your lungs.
Dude. I go through a single pack every two weeks and i can still feel how unhappy my body is with that choice. Shits just poison
Nicotine is a waste of money
Hearing your normal voice and hearing your scream gives me hope for myself- I have a very soft and high voice but this seems achievable!
I have a kinda nerdy soft voice so it’s also good to hear that you can change it well, I like mc ride from death grips cause he has a talking voice a bit like mine but a really scary, strong singing voice
Wow that was awesome. I have always wondered how artists do that. You explained it very well.
This is the only explanation that I understood I kept defaulting to false chords because I use them when I sigh. But actually hearing your sigh coming from your head helped me with placement.
It's really feels so good to see her back in action again
Thanks for still being here when I came back 🖤
@@AdrienneCowan we love u
I have been wanting to develop my screaming ability for a while...this literally took me from 0 to..not an impressively high number but a reasonably high one, like maybe 12. Please more tutorials!!❤️

My brother say that’s funny you’re using that emoji when that’s not the most used emoji now
I've been trying to learn proper screaming for a decade, none of the videos I watched in the past made sense with the "over the pencil" explanations they kept using. I saw this video a few months ago and it finally clicked! Still not perfect, but sounds way better and leaves me with no pain.
The technique is very well articulated/explained 👏👏
A classy vampire teaching online be like:
I love the transition from Orc-like tone "I DO NOT FEAR THE DARKNESS!" to all delicate / educated "I hope you find it usefull :)"
(Great vid tho, will definitely try, the last part really explains why I tend to run out of air, I used to think that you growlers had like x3 lungs capacity, but I realise now that maybe I was also wasting alot of air by poor understanding of the technique).
If your serious about singing, learn yoga breathing techniques. The one that teaches how to inhale into your back makes a BIG increase.
Just watched this and wow I picked it up quick using your technique!!! Thank you so much!
You just taught me something i never thought id have the chance to do. thank you that was awesome!
Maybe one day I'll be able to practice this without the constant fear of my neighbours hearing
I practised this and it WORKED! Thank you so much 🖤♥️
I've always been able to sing but as I've started listening to more and more metal I really wanted to learn to scream. Whenever I've tried in the past it has hurt my throat but when I tried this my throat didn't hurt at all! This was very helpful thank you! :)
I don't know how to metal scream, but so far i've been getting away with one simple trick - i bring a little piece of LEGO to the concerts.
That's for power metal
So dow did you get into doing heavy vocals?

Ive been a singer for a long time and have been trying to learn how to actually get a scream to have volume and not sound like a whisper for over 15 years...you showed me how in 10 secs...thank you so god damn much..
Thank you so much for sharing!! I saw you live in Minneapolis last month and love the tour with Omnium Gatherum and Eluveitie! You rock!!
True professional! Very impressive!
It always tickles me how a lot of metalheads will look very dark, angry and rough. But then turn out to be the kindest, gentlest, most intelligent and eloquent people you'll ever meet. I'm a casual metal fan at best, but I always enjoy going to metal festivals. It's guaranteed a good time. The community is awesome. Metalheads look after each other.
