From my screamer series playlist #3! I hope you will enjoy this introductory false cord screaming tutorial!
Guys!! So glad you're all enjoying these videos - just a friendly reminder - CHord = a grouping of notes played simultaneously, COrd = anatomy like vocal cords, false cords. Just FYI in case you wanted to know the difference.
Never thought that I'd get vocal tips from a floating head.
Hahah sorry for the bad video guys! I'm making a much better new Fry scream part 2. :)
I can't unsee.
thats exactly what i was about to comment
aubryjames0412 😅😅 pretty good tho
Omg I lost it after reading your comment I cant even focus on the video I just see a floating head
5,000 BC : A lone caveman is being approached by a sabertooth tiger. In order to ward off the predator, the caveman emits a startling vocalization: "ROOOOTS! BLOODY ROOOOOTS!". The tiger flees back into the wilderness.
is it okay if i used that "bloody roots" thingy for something I'm working on?
@@therealhelmholtz that's a sepultura song
@@Alex-et1yn not anymore it ain’t
@@Alex-et1yn BITCH
I've been trying to scream for years. I've viewed countless screaming tutorials online and yours was the only one to give me enough information to make it click. All this time I'm been vocalizing while trying to make the sound and it's caused nothing but strain and pain. Thank you for doing what you do.
Sam Kohl thank you! Glad to be of help
Why is a roman bust trying to teach me about death metal vocals
XD Yes I know haha, I made a part 2 with no floating head
Acid is a trip huh
Weirder things have happened in rome.
@@voicehacks Well I love the floating head!
Technically this is a roman Patrician.
For anyone having trouble: Remember to squeeze your abs in tight like she said near the end! I couldn't get a good ughhh sound at first, but when I did that I immediately got a richer and deeper growl :)
Yea that helped me the most
My wife tells me to take out the trash......NUHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I hope my neighbors can't hear me. I've been practicing with a pillow so it's not so loud haha. I can just imagine people taking a walk by my house and they hear screaming hahaha
my neighbors always make noise when i want to sleep longer. I found this lessons and they really work, so my neighbors are going to suffer
Addy Muñoz oh lemme try that, my poor pillow
I'm pretty high and that floating head is tripping me out😂
ROFL
Haha fucking same
Sameeee
Wow I didn’t know screaming the right way could be so soothing on the throat! Time to watch every one of your videos.
I'm trying screaming (online and offline) for 1 year and half without any kind of success. With you i found the way after 1 minute and 20. You are the best
Probably has something to do with the year and a half you already practiced... xD
The year and half definitely gave you a leg up. She just showed you how to properly and effectively do it... then your learned skills kicked in and it all came together 👊
Now im just imagining cavemen making the most brutal growls you ever heard to scare off lions
Cave man metal time???
If only we had time machine we could use death metal to talk to them
Brutal
i am so damn thankful for you. i could scream like a beast when i first started watching your videos and im about to start again. really happy there's a false chord video. thank you so much. melissa cross #2 over here!
This is the most helpful false chord tutorial.
I watched a lot of false chord video but I didnt know how to exhale.
Now I got it.
I already learned fry scream from your video.
Now I'm learning false chord.
What should I do my false chord get louder , powerful and aggresive.
And I want to know how Sam Carter scream false chord like yelling?
I want to watch more videos from you.
Please teach us.
Zay TheArchitect I learned the fry scream first also. I was really confused by most of the videos on false chord but this really helped me too
All the time I thought I had a wrong technique because I sounded like a chain smoker after I've done False Chord Screaming. But I just put soooo much energy in my screams. I've done it the way - you told me/us not to do it. I screamed with all my Air and pulled my shoulders up. Of course I had not much air left for a whole sentence! Thank you! I thought I need to growl like a Beast but never thought about that all the singers have a Mic on stage and the "LOOK I SCREAM LIKE A BEAST" is show for the Fans/people. A nother TH-camr told in a vocal Video only use 30% of your power. You dont need to be super loud and so damage your chords. This and your Video really opend my eyes and now I hope I will get it! Cheerz!THX for the great Video (:
So glad to help!

This is the best screaming tutorial. I have tried a million ones before. But this randomly worked for me! I am so excited. Though have to work on my notes!
Thank you, Floating Bust of Mary. You are almost as informative as full-bodied Mary. 😊
Best scream tutorial!
It finally CLICKS!!!!!!! Thank you for your videos. Ive been on a rabit hole on your screamer playlist and reddit to figure out how to even conceptualize it, as Ive always loved the sounds of Dance Gavin Dance and beartooth and wanted to start making music, in the same taste and sound. Learning to distort is the first step and i just want to thank you. Not only for your teachings, lessons, advice and experience but also making them available.
Thanks for the tut. Very informative and your beard looks dope in the thumbnail
ROFL

THANK YOU! Your descriptions are so good! Everyone knows how to do the teenage sigh, but ya always think of going lower down and hurting yourself. I now know what part of the throat it’s supposed to be!
This helps me so much to learn how to scream...
Easily the most helpful tutorial I've seen. Subbed for this looking forward to more.
Thank You Mary Z! 👍
I FINALLY GOT THE HANG OF IT YAY ITS SO FUN. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t tho i’ll keep practising! THANK YOU
I just made a brand new video course on this type of scream on the channel it might help! It’s way more detailed and updated: th-cam.com/video/kgznXAHpjUM/w-d-xo.html
@@voicehacks omg. checking that out right now!
Finally a teacher who explain growl correctly
Your videos are the best. Every time I do your exercises I get stronger. Thank you! 🤘
Wow, Lady Gaga seems to be good at screaming.
HOW THE FUCK DO PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS TUTORIAL?
For some reason i can do it only as a "whisper".. of some sort..
Same here, can't do the sigh, this is hard.
You have to do it with relaxed chest and neck, also try louder (but not too loud, just a bit harder until "hurrrr" sound, take care). Or try to mimic how dogs bark - it's a good start. You bark not with words, but rather chest and relaxed neck, but start from a stomach (like you're a karate-man and do a ABS squeeze before they punch you in the stomach), but the sound goes FIRST (don't think to squeeze before the bark, I just explain the mechanical process, better just mimic the sound in relaxed condition). Or imagine that you're a zombie, relax like a half-dead meat and do this deep sound.
mary z i saw u when u were with luna mortis touring with warbringer like 8 years ago. both bands became two of my favorite bands, i listen to u guys all the time still. I still remember saying "meh i guess ill go to this concert who knows maybe they'll be ok bands" so fucking glad i went \m/
Nice! Thanks a ton!
it alwys feels like im using my Vocal Cords.... i cant tell if im doing it wrong or not :(
WickerManLP if it hurts then you're doing it wrong
if you do it correctly you shouldn't be able to feel it in your throat
Ok i think i got it! my throat just feels a little exhausted but no Pain :)
Actually, you will feel a "scratchy" sensation in your throat which is necessary if it's being done correctly. This is because correct "false cord screaming" is done with air friction vibrating the false cords. This friction we should feel as a "Scratchy" sensation inside our wind pipe. However, it should NOT make you hoarse afterward, it should not feel like pain, aching or sharp or strain or gripping. Those types of sensations or anything that makes you hoarse afterwards should be stopped.
VoiceHacks would you able to check out my channel and tell me if I'm doing it right? thank you. should be my latest video
This video is very helpful. Thank you!
The real question is how to get my dog to stop barking and jumping on me whenever I try this
1:47 - uuuuuuughhhhhhh
2:50 - Uuuuugh (imagine going over the joker line)
3:05 - We Will Rise
Lets practice together
Thankyou so much for this !!
When I was younger I destroyed my vocal chords and couldn’t do any screaming, I recently started again and was using false chord and it was hurting me and making me lose my voice. No after watching this I can do my highs pain free thankyou so much !!
YES!!! Awesome congrats!
You are amazing! This is so fun and you make it easy to understand, thank you!
Thank you for the kind comment and for watching!
Love this video! Great, clear instruction.
2:06 there's even a floating arm...
Thank you
How do you have the confidence to do these noises help 😂😂
I just do it when no ones home lmao
Mary, I've studied classical singing for 5 years and I learned to sing extreme vocals by myself. Still, I want to become a vocal coach just like you so I can understand the science of this and the anatomy of our voices because I wasn't taught such things, my teachers would only make me learn how to sing but not the mechanism behind the singing. Do you offer a certificate program or any courses that could help me? Thanks in advance. 😊😊😊
Something soon! I only do lessons on Zoom at the moment but also my podcast is full of a wealth of knowledge on that stuff! voicehackspodcast.com
@@voicehacks Thanks a lot sweetie and I'm definitely in if you ever decide to start a course so I can have a certificate, that'd be brutal! Xx 😊😊😊
fuck i sound like a babylion ._.
Crying
Why The heck i cant even do a teenager impression😩😩😩 Everytime i end up vocalising...
Some how i started at the fry and I cant false chord scream that well
same
Same
Honestly i wish i could do either
Same
I was very exasperated all throughout my teenage years...maybe that's why false cord screaming is easier for me than fry screaming.
Why the hell doesnt everyone explain it this way, I've been looking for someone to actually explain the mechanics of this for so long.
These techniques are great. For someone who has tested their sea legs, can you suggest some songs to practice along to? I am sure it all depends on your influences and who you are trying to sound like, but I mean some songs that you feel would be easy enough for someone to put these techniques to the test with?
Glad you are enjoying the videos! With False Cord, keep it simple. Maybe some older Arch Enemy from Angela Gossow era? Alissa does Fry, I believe so I'd go with the older albums. Something off of "Dead Eyes See No Future" album, actually the title track might be good...
Thank for the video, finally found how to do it properly
I just noticed her head looks like it's floating. I can't unsee it now.
LoL awesome video especially all the fine print at the end.
Real nice there!!! Here’s another 1
that’s interesting.
hey maybe someone can help me how do I get from the uaggghh part to a real scream? I can make the sound but don't know hot to progress from here....
Remember to squeeze your abs in like she said near the end. I couldn't get get a good growl for the life of me, but when I did that I got a much richer and deeper growl!
Thanks a lot for this, Mary. This is so helpful, it has the been the first time I am able to produce such noise without grinding the tissues, which is a result of locating (or at least feeling) the false cords and air stream vibrating through them without engaging vocals folds much.
I have a question, as of now, the noise is loud enough, though it is too airy, hence I am able to enunciate 3-4 words max with a single gulp of air. And, I am actually feeling light-headed after doing some bits (which ofcourse is due to excessive air expulsion). How should I control it without affecting the noise level? I repeat, it is not painful at all, just a slight scratchy sensation which I think is okay. Also, I am pretty comfortable with the diaphragm breathing, just that when I am trying to cut back air, I unintentionally engage my vocal folds, resulting in grinding.
Does anybody else felt the same and how did you rectify?
Lots of love from India❣️
How much I laughed while practicing
its also similar to "clearing your throat" when you go "ahem ahem"
Really, really good discussion - I'm totally stealing the 'joker line' image! 🙌
Thank you so much for this! Well done. :-)
Thanks for the grunting tutorial! I can now apply to cast in The Walking Dead 👍👍🙂
i dont know if i’m overthinking it but i can’t even do the exasperated teen noise :(
Holy shit!! I got it! Thank you!!! Now I can really sing my Cannibal corpse and skinless songs !!! I’m so hyped
Oh shit I finally did it!
Okay so I tried it and I actually did better than i expected after half an hour or so. One thing I've got to ask though. I have this natural vibrato in my voice (when I sing) and it seems that the simple "noise" I make with the false chords also has a vibrato. Is this logical or am I doing something wrong, I have no pain whatsoever and I can actually make the sound in combination with naming the alphabet, also without pain.
I really don't know what phenomenon that is! I'd have to hear it! But in singing to get "rid" of vibrato you just squeeze the abs harder to push more air through and it straightens the tone out. Perhaps this would work with the screams? That is if you don't like it...
OMG thank you! ive been trying to figure this out for hours. You have no idea how much I appreciate your videos. I am out of work and just getting buy on workmans-comp and I'm so happy to learn this. because life is frustrating! thank you! #40hoursaday
Thanks 🤘❤️
I spent months trying to do it but you tought me in 4 minutes wow
With this I can learn to sing screams well? like angela gossow
Perfect. I am an exasperated teenager.
Helpful..thanks
It's so hard to tell if I'm doing this right or not xD I've been trying to learn to scream for quite some time, but am scared to practice a lot out of fear of hurting myself. I notice that after maybe 15-20 minutes, I start to feel a scratchy sensation at the top of my throat, like just below my mouth. It's not really painful per say, it just feels odd and worries me. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
Amazing
Not a singer, but my son is. Due to the lockdown, we’ve decided to start a band. He’s more into Radiohead type music, while I’m into the heavy. He can sing pretty well, but at some point, the vocals will have to be more metal. Since he IS an exasperated teen he should pick up on this quick. This is a fantastic way to get the point across.
Please don't make the kid do it
I can't tell if I'm doing this right, I get lightheaded and can't really say "we will rise" smoothly, as in you can tell I'm running out of air quickly. I can sing clean with my diaphragm but when I try to do this false chors technique (which I really need to learn, that and fry) I just feel I'm not getting it. What am I doing wrong??
Does anyone know what type of scream Joel Birch of Amity Affliction uses?
Musicalguitar182 Mid & High Fry Screams
this helped quite a bit
I need your help if you will...
I've been trying to learn to scream for give or take 8 months. I first got the false chord technique right, however I took a break from screaming for about a month or two. When I came back, my screams were much more distorted and powerful, however I get hoarse afterwards. Because of this, I've tried to learn fry screams since they are much easier for me to do without hurting myself. BUT, when I try to ease back into them, nothing works, and I really want to keep my vocal chords! (I have been using my diafram)
L0XX I think your not supposed to do that but I don't really know
Thanks for the comment! In this situation, I'd have to hear you in a more personal setting like a lesson to help you figure out if what you're doing is correct/safe. If you're getting hoarse, something is off a little bit because proper false cord screaming shouldn't make your regular voice hoarse. If you need help, feel free to email me for lessons on Skype at voicehacks@gmail.com
Hey Mary, I don’t know if you covered this somewhere already, but if so point me there-I want to know how to false chord “yell,” I’ve tried to imitate the sound and had a bad time of it, lol. An example of what I’m talking about is in Conan - Vexxagon right around 4:00. Thanks!
Try this! "How To Sing with 'Grit' or 'Rasp' " - VoiceHacks by Mary Z - Screamer Series #5
th-cam.com/video/LXr93eQN1nY/w-d-xo.html
Waw thanks! Just with your comparison with a grumpy teenager and trying to do so, I learned that I'm not to far from doing it
I just got the really distorted sound that actually sounds like a real scream but after about 5 minutes of enjoying that success I left and came back about 30 minutes later and now I can't do it anymore because the back of my throat burns and I feel pain back there when even just letting out that "exasperated teenage sigh".
Am I doing something wrong or will I slowly build up tolerance/stamina?
I feel like I'm doing it right because I've never gotten that sound before but damn does my throat hurt when I try now.
Same problem, has anything changed?
@@uamurphy no I just stopped attempting to scream and have been focusing on singing lol
@@TylerGreenMusic oh, okay :(
It's strange because I learned fry screaming first. Fry screaming just makes more sense to me I'm slowly understanding false chord which is making it easier for me to learn this scream
Super cool 😎
After long periods of growling I sometimes suddenly lose all the power in my growls and then the growls don't have any sound. Then my throat sort of feels dry , I do drink straight after though, but the same problem will happen seconds later. It's hard to explain it but that's the best summary.
Pretty floating head. Black is bad ass!
Still floating around looking for the rest of me 😆 😆
.......was not expecting this xD
My throat tingles when I do it. Am I doing something wrong?
Holy fuck I did it!!!!!! Thank you so much
Woo hoo!!!
lmao she's a floating head😂
I actually learned how to do this by an accident. One day I was getting up from my bed and I made a very gravely noise (Mind you, before this I had been trying and trying to get it and do it) and then when I made that.noise I immediately jumped up and ran to my computer to try and do it and I finally got it. For anyone having trouble reply to my comment and I'll do my own tutorial on how I learned
I do death metal vocals, im heavier then this but I love Children Of Bodom! and Chelsea Grin!
Yay shes floating
Your''re the best!!! :')
Just angrily saying we will rise into my pillow also how do you make sure it doesn’t hurt ?😅
#QueenOfCringe check out the screamer series and the video before, it helps so much, may not be any help now but i guess it’s a try haha
Hey Mary. I don't know if you still read these comments, but I have a question. I have been practicing false chord screams and I think my technique is right, and I have a sound I like, but I can only hold it for barely 3 seconds before I run out of breath. I learned to fry scream as well and I can do that for about 15 seconds when I use my diaphragm properly. But no matter how much I focus on breath control, pushing from the diaphragm, etc., I just can't break 3 seconds on my false chord scream. I've been practicing for a little while now and nothing has changed. Am I doing something wrong? Is it just a matter of practicing *a lot*? Thanks in advance.
hey! I've been screaming some months (I don't practice everyday). It doesn't hurt at all, but after and hour of rehearsal (trivium, gojira etc) my voice is kinda hoarse and I can't get highs anymore. Like we have to train on "Hail to the king" first because I can't get high enough after half an hour of screaming.. What am I doing wrong, and how can I work it out?
Yanis Rios I'm wondering the same thing
Yanis Rios you have to build up your tollarance I used to only be able to do one deathcore but now I can do like 8 or 9 before my voice starts to give out
absolutely! it's incredible how far regular training can get you in only a couple of months. Now I don't really need to drink that much and I can have Singing (and screaming) lesson for an hour an then screaming non stop for two hours.
See your lucky I had to teach myself how to do Fry's and guttarles by myself lol
Lucky dudes I threw my voice out about a week ago...
Could anyone on here maybe share some knowledge on how the vocalists scream from State Faults is done?! And what type of scream he has. I’ve asked him directly and his answer is “I just scream and it happens”
I can’t figure out his vocal style and it’s so frustrating!!!!
How does one scream like Layne Staley?
I dont understand anything, my throat hurts when i do the exact same thing as you. And it doesnt even have that rasp sound to it either. Help
Then it seems like you're doing the work from the throat too much or inadvertently trying to use the vocal cords instead of the other tissues. Watch my breathing for screamers videos and try with more air support. Take it easy if pain persists, stop attempting to scream. Do not continue with techniques that are painful. I also give Skype lessons email: voicehacks@gmail.com for rates & scheduling.
