This vid is amazing. Love the calm and holistic approach. Kind of like the Bob Ross of Screaming.
David is actually nicknamed the “Bob Ross of Screaming” in one of our group chats with friends so this isn’t the first time we’ve heard this 🤣
Thank you for watching! Glad you appreciate the content!

highkey my first thought. xD
Well just put a happy little high scream over here.
@@neonnerd1364 lol
Ha ha ha! Yeah, all his gotta do is turn that lushes mane into an afro.
When the day comes for me to show the public my voice... and people like it and I get rich and famous. Ima give full credit to this man. He literally just helped me unlock my high
hell yeah dream big! Let’s gooo!!!
Unfortunately it's better said than done and in still struggling with highs. It is what it is though. I'm not stopping 🤘
@@Tjsolo-man5000 Hell, you better not bro. Keep up your work and itll come to fruition. 🤝
@@Tjsolo-man5000 Also I just seen your shorts on your channel. Keep it up homie sh*ts tight.
@@williamshelton5209 I really appreciate it!!! I try to keep at it as much as possible! Check out the latest short from about 2 minutes ago
You're a great teacher.
Thank you 🙏
Indeed
Is it just me or is his normal talking voice very comforting
It’s not just you lmao
Yeah, often the harshest vocalists have the most normal voices
yeah absolutely, i’d love to be read lullabies by him, but also have him scream directly into my ears lmfao
@@aidanmahoney9865 it's not just his voice it's also how articulate he is!
yeah his voice is pretty androgynous I would think
I’m 12:51 seconds in, and honestly this has revolutionised and changed my view on high screams. Literally everything you’ve said so far has resonated so heavily particularly with feeling that “wall” or barrier between lows and highs. For years I’ve only been able to achieve mediocre low screams with the belief I’ll never be able to achieve a high scream without damaging my vocal chords. This video has given me so much confidence and the drive to learn and experiment with my voice within safe boundaries. Even just watching you hit the clean note and add the grit/distortion encouraged me to somewhat imitate and I can already both hear and feel the difference! Thank you so much \m/
Oh man, David I need this so badly. I can't wait to watch this.
Let us know what you think!
I’ve never really thought about attempting to do vocals until I found your channel. I was always so convinced that I would never be able to sing, without even actually trying to. Now that I realize it actually takes practice to be a kickass singer, I’m way more into actually trying it!! Thanks for helping me discover a new passion :)))))))))
thank you, this actually made me overcome a wall i've had for the last couple of months
That’s so sick to hear! Glad we could help! 🙌
Last time I tried to learn highs this wasn’t uploaded. Thank you
You blew my mind with the smaller dog analogy. I am stuck in lows, this is a great video on how to get started higher, thank you!!!
glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏽
I'm a classically-trained singer so I feel like it's been a good foundation for these videos and after only four rehearsals I can do much more with my voice than I ever have been able to before
Holy crap, ive been struggling for YEARS trying to learn to unlock my high screams, then this guy comes along with his calm demeanor and matter of fact attitude and in 30 minutes and screaming like "YEEEEEEEEEAAAHHH"
I’m gonna use this to practice my high scream. You literally described my problem, on top of the fact that I can’t sing
how are you since it’s been a year?
I wish I could afford lessons with you! I'm not quite there financially, but you will be the first I come to when I can afford it. Until then; thank you SO much for the free lessons you post here. You are truly a blessing to soo many of us here! So with that being said; we can't thank you enough!!! Much love 🤘🤘🤘
Of course! Check out our EVI Now program if you’re interested in getting started! 😊
As always, thank you for watching!
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute Thank you so much for the quick reply!! I'm definitely looking forward to it, I hadn't realized there's a new program until now, so that's awesome!! I will for sure be looking into this. If you don't mind me asking, does it include help as far as pitch control? I've been working on my voice for a couple years now and it seems pitch is the main thing I struggle with. I'm not terrible by any means, but it's enough to concern me. Again, thank you!! You are such a wonderful influence!!
@@unbreakabel7006 if you're on Facebook please join his group. Extreme Vocal Institute Community is the place I really refined my vocals. The people there are amazing and we have everyone from beginners to experts so you get alot of variety of answers which actually helps alot to figure out what you need to do to fix whatever you're working on. Everyone seems to find their way through different explanations.
Amazing info! I love the dichotomy of the perception of metal vocalist juxtaposed to this soft spoken man in a lovely room.
hahaha thank you. The room has changed a bit since we filmed this but still equally as lovely!
It’s so cool how fundamental principles unlock unlimited combinations of sounds. Demonstrated perfectly by David’s ability to recreate most screams we hear in the metal world. This dude is such a gem for sharing this level of wisdom for free 🙏🙏🙏
Super helpful! Thank you for revealing how simple and natural this kind of register screaming really is.
Uma explicação tão completa, de forma simples e didática! Um professor incrível! Greetings from Brazil!!!
I knew the fundamentals to a low false cord prior to watching this video, and you totally just helped me figure out how to even get to high-pitched false cord screams (also taught me that they even exist lol)
I'd give you a big Ole kiss cause I think you just helped me find my higher range but I'll settle for just telling you thank you so much man. I've been struggling with finding my higher range for awhile now cause it would just naturally default back to lows.
This is the single most helpful metal vocal video I've ever seen. I've been working on unclean vocals for the better part of 10 years and sustainable, comfortable highs have always eluded me. Other tutorials express the importance of added air and diaphragm compression but after following your methods demonstrated I've already achieved way more. Truly wonderful video by a master of the larynx. Thank you!
I’d say my low screams are great, I’ve been freaking people out with it since high school, but my high screams need work. Thanks for this 🧡
finally a video by you i DONT need hahahah but for real im watching all of this. No such thing as too much good advice so im excited to see if i can make my highs even better
We appreciate you watching nonetheless! Maybe there will be something that’s helpful! 😁
As a mostly false chord guy I notice frying my highs helps alot. Also gives more control and higher range. This guy is a genius so glad I found this!
I wish i knew how to fry high, ive been stuck on FC for while but its fine with me i just want diversity in my voice. Got any tips from a FC guy to FC guy on fry?
The fry doesn't have to be quiet, practicing with a microphone and p.a. alot changed the game for me on high frys.
@@NuclearGameVideos imitate the grudge noise
@@NuclearGameVideos compression + the grudge. Some people do it by accident doing a lot of different things. Stretching (especially first thing in the morning), shitting (yes. You heard me right. Because it requires nearly all the same muscles as vocal support), lifting something heavy.
@@dylanmccall9370 also imitate the grunge distorted vocal and then use less breath.
I love the contrast between the setting and the sounds being made LOL. looks like a yoga class, sounds like a metal concert.
King of empathetic explanation when it comes to singing. How calm. How exact.
This was amazing. I can't wait to finally start practicing highs now
Hell yeah! 🙌
Fucking epiphany. You're amazing dude
easily one of the most sensible and well thought out metal vocal tutorials on this site! Thanks so much :)
Where has this channel been?! So informative!! Gonna be watching a lot more!!
This is very fascinating and I can’t wait to actually learn to scream. Also you’re a very approachable and likeable teacher.
This is the first video of your channel that I've found and I greatly appreciate how you've used such descriptive words like the body, pitch and choke and how non-formally coached vocalists can understand these analogies on a sound/singing level, building to the sound then further manipulation.
I will be subbed and following to hear more on vocal muscle manipulation, here's hoping my screams can flex higher range with time studying and practicing my technique.
Thank you so much!☆
Ive been watching through these videos in the weeks before my band went into the studio, and after the year of not gigging i definitely felt like i need some help.
These videos have given me so much in getting back into shape, and even more about what i should be doing correctly. Thank you for being a great teacher
Thanks for sharing that with us! So glad the content has been helpful for you! Be sure to tag us whenever what you’re working on comes out 😁
Man I love these tutorials. The screaming ( the dog part got me to smile and laugh a little). The general message of changing the note to start the scream wasn't something I was aware of. A lot to learn from here, I probably will rewatch it occasionally as I need 👍
This is the video i meeded to feel more confident thank you!!!!
YES! Love that 💪🏽
With the mouth shapes part, very well explained. I definitely find high screaming easier overall. Great videos man!
Glad you found it helpful!
This is a so in depth guide that I can't believe you guys are giving all that free, such good explanations thanks a lot! Will definitely try the tricks in this video! Are you in a band ? I'd love to hear you sing in an actual song!
Glad you enjoy the content! 😁 It’s all about how you apply it!
We have a lot more available through our EVI Now program if you’re interested! extremevocalinstitute.com/evi-now
I love your videos. I haven't been in a band or practiced screaming for a long, long time but i'm having fun learning from you purely for my own enjoyment.
Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying the content 😁
You look like you seem really chill
This man is SPITTIN
I've always wanted to scream and I'm finally deciding to. My favorite thing about you, is listening to you talk, you're like the sweetest boy. This beautiful heart warming voice. And then HWWAAAAAAAAAA 🤣 it's my favorite thing about these intense bands. So many of them are like soft spoken sweet bois haha
Hey this is pretty awesome! I totally get that sound at 10:55 but it was an intentional choice for doing black metal, since that genre can be intentionally very thin and sharp. Kind of like a ghost, all essence, no body. I love the idea of choosing pitches to base your screams off of. When I was in the process of tracking guttural vocals, I'd do lots of warm-ups that involve sweeping from low to high in pitch without breaking (smoothing out that break), etc. Of course it's always great to grab onto these new extra techniques and thought patterns for approaching music (in every sense- theory to technique to production). Cheers mate, this has a lot of great information.
Love this guy. He's so in metal it makes it metal af
Hell yea more sparkle for days!
for me personally just saying the word "o" has been the easiest way for me to reach and or manipulate my voice
All your videos are so so so helpful. The eye contact with the camera makes me feel like a student again like I just got caught not paying attention 😅
I've heard people say there shouldn't be any vocal chords or pitch control in screams at all and it's made me too afraid to try because I always feel my vocal chords in there and I don't want to damage them, but the way you explain it makes so much more sense
I scream you scream we all scream for high screams
Good job EVI!
Dude this is such a great lesson, you could easily be charging a premium for this info
So useful, given me greater insight! Thank you
These videos are seriously helping. Thank you for this, my screaming and singing is getting so much better
I loved this vid. I have delicious, delectible lows but couldn't hit highs so im going to practice this. Thank you, sir
Excellent teacher 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for your videos!!🎉 The world can sing better now❤
More like this Bro!
That tongue bend really makes you scream like a demon, wicked stuff! Can't wait to try it
When he hit the bent tongue one and sounded like a straight up demon. Immediately practicing to add it to my screams lol
Thank you so much for this great tips for unlocking my high screams!! My lows and mid scream was fine but I'm struggling with my high scream so i thought that in order to get the high scream i did exactly same as the 7:28 part cause i thought by increasing the pitch from low to high pitch, i could figure out how does my vocal chords achieve the pitch by pushing more air to make my vocal chords more powerful to achieve the high pitch scream sound. Thankfully that i found this video in my searching to prove me that my technique was wrong and now i found a better and safer way than pushing and hurting my vocal chords.🤘🔥
That’s so great to hear! Thanks for sharing that with us! 😁 Keep up the hard work and thanks for watching!
@@ExtremeVocalInstitute 🙏🤘
this helps so much, its crazy how much i thought you needed to tighten up and i just couldnt get the sound, but im starting to get it now. now i just gotta practice lol
Incredible lesson
I’m very late to this but thanks so much David. What you said about throat noise frequencies and how it interacts with the music gave me so much context. Helped me realize that my technique was good, I was just incorrectly perceiving the sound in an acoustic setting.
Usually I’d never watch a 30 minute video on screaming but I Benites is just too good to pass up
Cool vid , Thank you for leson its change something in my vocal . Only practic can make us a master never give up guys .
So much better than the other tutorials!
YOOOO I finally figured it out!!!! I can high scream now. Blessed be thy name lmao
Damn just start higher 🤦🏼♀️ immediate results! One session and I’m already singing higher. Thank you!!!
Yes! Love that for you!
I love how you’re using the word sparkle to describe a more brutal sounding scream
😂😂 thank you
Congrats on 70 K!
Thank you these basic vocals exercises are very helpful I have been practicing a lot more I love metal music and rock music.👍🤘
I don't listen to metal, most of my music tastes lie in relaxing, laid back stuff. Most aggressive music I listen to is the Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack lol. But, I am a vocalist, albeit in a ska band. I've been interested in pushing my voice to its limits when I came out as trans and started feminizing my voice so I could sing with it. Ever since then I've been trying to learn as much about singing techniques as possible. Overtone singing, whistle register, expanding my range as much as possible in both directions, growls, screams, etc. Your channel has helped me a lot with exploring things I never thought my voice could do. Thank you.
This is awesome, I’m so glad you’ve found the videos here helpful! 🖤
you made my high scream 300% better in like 10 minutes.. wow
You are very wise my friend 👍
I am enjoying your voice
I love watching uuuu omg
Thank you! You’re an amazing educator 🙏
I feel as though I'm completely relaxed when doing my highs, they sound pretty good too, I just can't get away from the pain happening afterwards
Same here. I have a pretty deep voice so naturally my range is best on the low end. I can do decent high screams but I get worn out much faster than mid-low screams / growls
On that note, it seems like it helps to be able to utilize fry to make your high screams. I'm able to use my false chords without much effort but fry screams still evade me.
You should also do guided meditations with that Angel voice x
Yes Yes Yes!!!! You might just answer my most burning question. All along, I feel like my scream is louder rather than higher and I know that there has to be an answer of why I can't achieve a juicy brutal high scream even though I don't really have a very deep masculine voice. I knew I came to the right video when you're able to do a False Chords scream as high as James Harrison from Oceans Ate Alaska with your pretty manly and deep voice. 👍
Got it! Thank you so much! That really helps a lot! 🤘🔥 Great job!
"Screaming is just a heightened form of communication"
Facts lmao
Dude holy hell so I was watching this video earlier and I just wanted to say thank you so much for giving us these gems cuz I got that demon kinda sound and it sounds exactly like cj mcreery and David from signs of the swarms
the tip on hitting a target instead of going up or reaching helped me finally get out what feels like a real scream! I think i can only get a high silverstein sounding scream tho. and i don’t know if it’s absent of a note. But low screams seem hard to figure out tho still.
THANK you.
15:41 is where you're looking for!
You are amazing, this helped med alot!
Yeeeeessss. Your channel is great. I really appreciate your videos. I hope you get a ton of subs.
you are genius
Great Video!!🔥👍 I try to getting better at my Highs for future Songs and I am pretty sure with these Tips in Mind I will get a pretty decent Scream!!🙏🤘
My favorite thing about ally genres of metal is the fact that the harder the band is it seems the more kind hearted the people are and it to this day makes me smile! People constantly thin “oh metal band those guys are probably dicks” but in all reality 99% of them are nicer than anyone you’re ever met in your life and I mean it makes perfect sense to me 🤷🏼 they’re not only doing what they love but anytime they’re angry for any reason they just sing into a Mike or scream or just chug away on their guitars or basses and boom all anger gone music is really just amazing and this video is amazing!! Because I’ve always thought my highs were all I had! They’re the ones I knew most about and they’ve always sounded decent to me but my lows took me a long time to get down but I could get them down to a science once I learned that what I was doing was fry screams I didn’t even know that fry’s could be low I always thought fry’s could only be high and I thought that’s just what people called super crazy high screams but once I learned that their were all these different names for all the ways I could scream it really opened a whole new adventure for me! My goal is to learn as much as possible and learn how to do every type of scream I can even if I can’t do them good! But mids have always been my weekness 😂 i never knew why until recently haha anyway this video was awesome and you’re amazing!!! And I love you!!!
That was undoubtedly the most intimately familiar, continuously enlightening, thorough explanation of anything I've ever heard under an hour!
And yet I'm no more successful than previously.
Now I sound more like Bart or Marge Simpson occasionally...
But you best believe I'll continue squawking while I've got the place to myself!!
*Shutup Siri, Alexa, Google, it isn't that funny!*
My growls are mean enough though.
awesome lesson as always senior David! 🔺 can't wait to try out the new evi program tbh
Thank you! 😁 Hope you enjoy it!
Good stuff!
I can't remember how many times I've seen this video now, this is damn hard
sooo good thx!

Thank you so much for sharing your art and helping us express ourselves to our heart's content. That straightline mindset is awesome. Dave
P.s Renasans is wicked 🤘
So appreciate it! Glad you’re enjoying the videos and feeling inspired! 😁
