How to Scream like Chester Bennington EXPLANATION & FOLLOW ALONG TUTORIAL

- (Re-upload with a longer and better false fold activation explanation)
Chester's fry scream is a combination of a thinned out chest voice (some call this chesty mix, some call this edge, some call this belting) creaking (some call this vocal fry or vocal fold distortion) with the vocal folds, compressing the larynx (pulling the false folds into the windstream) and letting the false folds vibrate and create distortion.
Try learning this scream not from the quiet vocal fry but from learning the compression and false fold distortion first. Then sing higher and higher with it, without going much louder. Choose very open vowels like EHHH while going higher. If you keep the level of compression high and just raise in pitch gradually your voice will try to break around either G4 (if you are a baritone) or C5 (if you are a tenor). Once your voice breaks up, just stay on the scream and get it to stabilize.
If your voice does not want to break up (creak, vocal fry) try going higher with the pitch into a territory that is outside of your range. If you are an experienced singer and you have trouble with this (like i have) try singing the high note, while having false fold distortion, but go quieter on it, without letting it slip into head voice.
I wish no one were home so I could actually practice this
That's what the volume knob is for
Uss😂😂
same
No one in house, but your neighbour might hear it 😂
Honestlt
Thank you Jonathan Davis 🙏 your explanation was really helpful and clear!
LOL
😆
Lmaoo
@@SINGANDSCREAM hahaha seriously though, who are you? You're a great teacher dudee
Hahahahahahahah
*Explaining eloquently like a true Jedi Master.*
he is able to teach all the younglings
completly agreed!
this is hands down the BEST tutorial I've ever seen on screaming (and trust me I've seen a lot over the past 10 years), thank you so much for explaining it so clearly
He mixes his chest voice (full singing) along with his fry, its fucking impressive and hard to pull of like he did it
The only REAL tutorial in youtube that brings you to what you want...Im just so much comfortable with your lessons...and you re the only one on youtube that helped me...thank you so so much!
after so many videos this is the FINALLY the first time I managed to pull off a somewhat decent false chord distortion (through some trial and error)
after not being able to do anything close to it... this just feels like a huge breakthrough for me!
thank you so so much for this! The approach, the explanation, the simple steps to follow along, just everything
Dude, thank you so much. I’ve never been able to pull off any form of vocal distortion before, and with this I was literally able to do it while watching your video. Insane man, you earned a new sub! 😁
Thank you and congratulations! Make sure you observe your vocal health closely. Always do voice checks and trust in what feels good or bad.
Hands down the best tutorial on this technique I have found, I was waiting for the "I wanna heal, I wanna feel.. " at the end.. lol
Would this be similar for sam carters style of vocals? Love the tutorials btw very helpfull!
Yes but Sam Carter uses a chestier mixed voice inside, not this lighter mix i use here, and not a complete vocal fry. Just a bit for the melodic parts and more break up in the shouty parts.
This deserves much more views. You explained it so well and also the different levels in a way that makes perfect sense to me! Thank you so much!!!
Bro I was figuring out how to sing like him (I'm actually a singer but reggaeton wise music) and this has helped me a lot tysm my g
I just bingewatched through your vids, you're just what I needed - someone who's teaching the what-nots of screaming techniques with the skill to pass this knowledge, something many other content creators seem to have forfeit for hyping their videos up more. Great content, great attitude, instant sub. Keep on doing what you do!
Thank you so much. Means a lot to me! I try not to hide any part of my knowledge and give out all the infos that are important. Production value needs to go up though haha
Ok that's a fucking damn good explanation thanks so much man
Went to the bathroom to practice this for the acoustics, got banned from my favorite truckstop.
This tutorial was really helpful at understanding the fundamentals. Do you think you could cover Michael Barr from volumes? Most notably his performances at warped tour 2014? It seems like he gets these incredibly powerful screams with little to no effort. Does his method sound healthy to you? I haven't seen any vocal coach cover volumes before.
Yeah that is the same method but a bit louder and chestier with the voice underneath. You can hear how his voice does not breakup completely. There is still his ''Yelling'' pitch inside. That's because he goes into the vocal fry from a higher energy coordination, a chestier mix, and not a lighter mix like i use here.
I'll practice that and then I'll come back here and tell you if it worked for me. I have subscribed.
I appreciate it! Let me know how it goes
Oh my God it’s working I love you so much right now. My old way of doing growls was very violent and flappy. More of a gutteral type of false chord thing. I’m using this method to sing some Opeth and it’s working amazingly. I’ve been trying so hard to do this forever. I even hit some really dirty pitched stuff like in this video.
Instead of doing the HUHP then pushing as hard as I can I’m doing something different from what I always do and trying to make it sound really light and crappy and no strain and it’s working way better!
Wowowowow thanks so much. I knew the whole time I was like it just seems like I’m missing one thing and then I would have it but no one could explain it properly like you did. And you made it so easy. If I had caught your video long ago I’d probably be really good by now. Thanks man!!!!!!
Ausgezeichnet! A few times I had to chuckle a bit cause it reminded me of every porno I’ve ever seen with the “yea yea yea” but this is actually great vocal technique and advice. Thanks buddy 🙏🏽!! Cheers to you
I'm learning this right now and this is so helpful to have a step by step guide. Fry has always eluded me but I'm determined. Thank you so much dude
There are a couple different ways to get to very similar sounding screams, people would categorise as fry. One way might help you more than others.
Love your videos
Love you for watching them!
Ima do this when I’m at the hospital bed
Omg I just pooped!
Best step-by-step tutorial I've seen so far on this
This rasp burns back of my throat 😳
not sure if you will check this comment as its old video, but well it odd I can do the chester fry singing like spot on, but issue im having so i do the like huh, and get that tight feeling in my throat, which i can do without needing to do the huh anyways as i can fry sing, or what i think is fry singing, but no matter how hard i try tighten the throat i can still speak normally like so when i push higher etc it doesnt crack its just normal.. im confused what im doing wrong. like i still have the tight feeling in my throat the whole time like theres air trapped but doesnt seem to well be any effort for me to talk normally no matter how hard i try close my throat
es la mejor explicación que he visto de como hacer esa distorsión sin dañar las cuerdas vocales y hacerlo bien muchas gracias!!!
I guess this is one if the top hardest thqniques
PERFECT EXPLAINED HOW TO GET THE FALSE CORD SOUND! I'm practising it right now and I start coughing sometimes when I do it and have a hard time finding the rattle. I can do the hold and talk with it, but when I do a note It's like I let go and my vocal folds takes over and I get a raspy sensation that makes me cough.
Does it sound very similar to what i am doing or quite different? Triggering the false folds the first couple times can lead to a coughing sensation, but the vocal folds should feel and sound the exact same afterwards and the coughing sensation should go away after doing it a couple times. If your voice is different after this and the coughing sensation does not go away you are doing something else that is harmful and you need to tackle the distortion differently.
@@SINGANDSCREAM I guess I have a hard time holding a note with the compression. When I hold the note it's like I'm letting through more air than I need and I start to cough. The triggering of the false cords kinda sounds like your.. but mor clicky and less "gritty" or "Muddy".
Replay for practise: 5:58
Ik this was 3 years ago, but could you make a video on how to scream like fabvl? He's an amazing nerdcore artist with a really unique and insane voice and I really wanna learn how its done. Thank you! :D
"f*cking mizeljaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"
Bro where'd you go??? How about Layne Staley or Dave grohl methods? You da man dude
Heyo I'm still alive. i'm also teaching every day so very little time for youtube unfortunately. My students are my priority. Time for youtube will come in september when i'm done with my master's.
@@SINGANDSCREAM that's awesome man, best of luck on your degree. Where do you teach, at your school?
@@AJslayer86 I teach singing, screaming, music production, and songwriting as a freelancer. :-)
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A "HOW TO SCREAM LIKE ANDY BIERSACK" VIDEO??? them screams in legacy and knives and pens are amazing lol
is it supposed to hurt the throat ?😅🤣
dude I just found you on singandscream and i'm already getting results you are awesome dude!!! But currently i'm trying to figure out how to false chord screams and am wondering if anything in this video is useful to get that? Thanks dude have a nice day!!
I watched the How To False Fold Scream in 30 seconds and I actually learned how to scream, this dude is god xd
Hey there! Thank you so much! For the FC there is also a section in the distortion guide part 3 but you probably already found that. What I discuss in this video here is not relevant for you (yet). You can of course use compression in a FC scream too but you should only do that once you got the basic FC down.
Haha thank you but I'm just some dude that struggled with vocals for a long time and is totally nerdy about vocals
@@SINGANDSCREAM Alright thanks for the reply dude! I'll make sure to check this out and keep up your work man, you just earned a sub! Your tutorials are the only tutorials which I actually got some results from, Thanks! -Sully
@4:22 😂 you are awesome ❤
This sounds pretty simular. But its so hard to get that mix/blend between scream and voice that chester did perfect
Your scream is amazing
8 months later - just can't get the "creeky" phonation worrking :D I feel my false chord scream sounds about right - even as I go higher.. but this "head voicy part".. no idea how to get that in the mix ...
My throat just painfully tickles and I keep coughing :P
You're amazing bro, love your work
Thanks so much!
I'm practicing and practicing. I think my vocal fry is now pretty okay but I just can't get to the higher parts. So.. I should never go into fry screaming, right? It's ALWAYS vocal fry, getting higher, keeping the pressure etc., right?
man i made some progress watching this! Thank you dude! will keep practicing
literally the best tutorial for this on the web
Wow que buena explicación ya entendí ya que no sabia que camino recorrer, me suscribo enseguida
forcing myself to be able to do an impression of nickelback helped LMAO
I laughed throughout the whole video 😂
ive never seen a better tut. thank you so much bro
My voice just cracks lmao
Did not work yet for me, when I raise the volume on the compressed version, well it just raise the volume without any distortion fx 😢
Missing something ?
You alllmost had it! However: Chester’s sound actually comes from a different place in the mouth than during this demonstration. The tone was almost there but the reason Chester has a wider frequency distribution with the same tone/note is because he is not constricting so much in the throat. Think of sending the scream into your nasal passage. He moves the place of distortion further forward and up in the mouth.. So it’s really happening in the roof of his mouth NOT in the back of his throat like this demonstration. Think about it as triangulation between your lowest voice and where you’re singing to, then move that 3rd point (distortion) further forward in the mouth.
Underrated comment
Do you have a demonstration? I have an issue making the highest notes. My troath goes clean the higher i go, so when i reach e5 it's hard for me to put fry into the note.
i already know how to fry scream and do false chords
but ive been having a hard time doing those when hitting very high notes like the "put me out of my fucking miseREEEEEEEEYYYYY" part
Thank you so much for this!!! Once you get the practice down that you said to do how do you get to the point where you can add in that vocal fry? How do you know you’re ready, and is it dangerous if done improperly? Maybe I could just search how to do a vocal fry but would that be correct? Then just start doing this and combine the vocal fry once I’ve got this down? Or will it just come naturally as you get louder, like you said your voice will naturally become that way because it wants to as you get louder?
my throat hurts when i do it. what's the problem??
So u mean hybrid vocals, in other words
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Huge LP fan!
Bought their first 3 albums back in the day, and now
I can finally sing this stuff thanks to you!
CHEERS😁
Do you do private lessons? If so how much?
If my lower throat feels itchy, does that mean im doing it wrong?
Like I have the cleanest natural voice zero natural distortion. I tried doing scream vocals and just hurt my throat lmao, I didnt make any further attempts out of fear I might damage my vocal folds.
I would like to hear you blend clean tone and fry like Chester by creating constriction. It simply is not the technique he is using. But this is still a nice video for other reasons and I am a new subscriber. Any critique I give is with good intention for the channel
Hi I wanted to ask is it normal to feel your throat fill up with some liquid while doing this, and I also had my eyes wet after it. Is it normal or Im doing something wrong?
dont you
KNOW!
how can i make it
GO!
I wanna see your music cover or your originl song bro.. Your voice were amzing bro..
Chris liepe also covers this quite well .
Is it normal to feel somewhat lightheaded when practicing this?
THANK YOU, this is the most helpful tutorial i've seen (and i've seen SO MANY)
no one's home, and it's raining heavily 😈
Yeah I can get most of the steps right until I reach the point when I have to go higher on the tone , which makes me go nasaly and lose control of it quickly .
I think this is my favourite step by step video on screaming.
I've seen a lot of tutorials but this one explains it 👌🏻
My throat hurts when I try it. Do I anything wrong? 😢
Is it supposed to be painful make you cough ?
Please do Chris motionless next 🙏
That is almost the same technique btw! But with a bit more volume and a bit chestier voice inside.
My throat tightens every time. How do I stop it
is it normal to give yourself a hiccups doing this?
Can i scream like this if im shy n dont talk much
Thank you
How can I make the compress into distortion😂
If I have a coughing fit. Does it mean I do wrong?
Thank you for this!
Do you feel a rough sensation in your upper throat when you do this at first? Scratchy and makes you want to cough for example. Is that normal starting out?
0:59 Eu não consigo nem isso, imagina o scream. :( kkk
Literally life changing! Thank you :)
so talk like your a guy smoking telling a story while smoke is still in the lungs
Is Given Up scream is this technique?
0:59 you sounded like Chris Jericho there lol
Love voice chester
Ok, no words to thank you for this explanation and tips! Game changer right here!
sir can u help me howto fry scream ?
4:20 i sound exactly like fucking Rick from rick n morty 😭
Not me practicing in the shed
False what distortion??
It is great! Thanks!
Definitely gonna be working on this in the car instead of sounding like an idiot trying to scream Shadow of Intent, will update with results 😂
If you feel pain or weakness in your throat then stop immediately. I've been practicing for a couple years. The better you are, the more effortless it becomes.
Good video. But evertime i use it and hear Misurschääääiiiyyyy hihihihih. I love this explainaition wupwup
this worked like a charm thank you.
my problem is to raise the volume after all techniques applied. How do you do that?
😢 i want that
Hey, i really want to learn this scream technique. But i don't know if its because of my vocal range (Barittone). But it just don't sound. I can do Fry Scream and False Cord. But this kind of pitch scream does not happen.
Hello, I have been practicing this technique for several months and I do well when I sing in a medium tone, almost speaking, but when I want to go up I find it difficult to do the distortion, I feel that this distortion pulls me to lower notes. Any advice will be of great use to me.
I am far from professional singer yet I found helpful to have seperate techniques for seperate tones. And instead of trying to sing exactly like someone else, I'd start to tune up or down songs to my comfortable register which mostly solves the "I can't fry that high" problem. Cheers.
