I was screaming my lungs and throat out while giving out commands to my team during a sports tournament, and boy do I wish I found this video before that... Totally useful for sports too, thank you very much for this!
Dude, I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and only just put 2 + 2 together. I’ve been gigging in the porterhouse for about 10 years and I’ve seen you live a BUNCH of times with Brian and Tommy. Your content is really excellent! Great stuff
@@RockYourBestVocals been playing the Tuesdays with Colm Lynch longer than I care to remember. And then every other Sunday with Colm, Brian, aongus etc. Hope we can all get out and make some noise again soon! 🤘🤘
Ahhhh okay, I've seen you then I'm sure - one of the times I've seen Colm! HE IS AMAZING!!! WHAT A TALENT!!! Yes, indeed - fingers crossed this virus will fuck off soon enough and we'll be back on track! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
yo bro i saw kurt cobain doing this in the montage of heck and i thought that he used to do that with his voice because he was bored but now i make sense that he was practicing his voice!! thank you bro i will practice this
You're certainly welcome! Would love to hear your results after practicing and let me know if I can help clarify anything! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
@@RockYourBestVocals of course!! i will comment when i finally achieved a good level, also cn you make a video of how to make vibrato? keep like this!! amazing content
Hi Thiago, thank you for the suggestion - great subject, love it! Vibrato can be difficult for some, and I will share what has helped me to improve mine 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
so i struggled to get the raspy vibe but when i leaned in i felt something that seemed to work. i had to check my throat and be super aware of the muscles but honestly i think you got me a good place so far thanks
Way useful on Walking Dead, at a concert or on Halloween! Thanks for sharing I can't wait to get back onstage to try this! Any microphone of choice to use? I have a Telefunken and an Audix, have a feeling I need a good ol' SM57!
Hey Donnie, agree we are still lockdown in Ireland, can't wait to play live again! Audix are awesome mics, but I'm partial to the SM58 because I'm super rough with mics and they've always taken HUGE abuse from me but lived through many 'drop tests' etc... Which is your favourite of the Telefunken and Audix? (I presume they are not wireless?) I use a Senheiser wireless for the wedding gigs so I can go out to 'grab a granny' haha! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Hey Rando, I'm not clear as I've never felt 'burning' so it depends... if it's in your throat it could be several things... it would be easier if I was to hear/see you doing it and describe your sensations. I have a link for wisio in the description if you want some cheap and quick feedback
@@RockYourBestVocals I really love your videos man ...I'm majoring in music in college atm and your TH-cam channel is one of the few sources I'm proud of repeatedly referring to in my work . Thanks for making it easy for me to achieve my vocal goals

Hi Rupantor, How long have you been working on it? Sometimes these things take time.. be patient. Play with it, and really take the time to pay attention to what feels right and when you "dial it in" you will know...

Can you explain how Paul McCartney does it.... That dude has a viscous scream and it doesn't sound like it derives from your tutorial... Or is that he's just a freak
Paul uses more of a false cord fry scream... I've got some videos on Rock Distortion and Fry on the channel which will help you - plus a how to sing like Paul McCartney! Wow so much free content how can you go wrong?!!! 😂👍
Just passing by to say that I learned how to sing like Dave and Cornell because one of your videos so I thank you so much for that!! Now however my biggest dream is to be able to scream all night like Dave does here: th-cam.com/video/FSqM_tin9dA/w-d-xo.html and I have a question: how long of a process is it until I can do this or sing something like Weenie Beenie or White Limo?! You rock dude, congrats on your channel, the best out there!! 🤟🏼😎
Hey Thiago, thank you so much for stopping by to let me know that - that really makes me happy to know that I was able to help!!! Also, thank you for the video - that is AWESOME! If you can DREAM it, you can DO IT!!! (just look at the first part of what you sent to me at 29:12 see how he is tensing up his ENTIRE mid-section (core) to do that scream... (that's the secret!) ;) Thanks for taking the time to stop by man, appreciate you BIG TIME!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
@@RockYourBestVocals Man thank YOU for all the tips and for pointing us to the right direction to achieve this skill!! and yes! I'd noticed that he tensing his core to do that...I've been training everyday using your videos, whenever I get there I'll let you know!! hahaha keep up the great work!
Hey Thiago, wow - appreciate all the amazing comments, so glad you are putting the work in!!! That's why I'm here - to help share what has worked for me, so I'm glad it's working for you too - well done!!! Keep me posted! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
vocal fry is only one technique. another good one is to drink a whole bunch of milk and do the "clearing throat" motion, but without actually spiting up the phlem, and then sing while gargling the phlem. gross, but sounds great.
doing it without "lubrication" can damage your throat but if you keep giving yourself more "lubrication" to work with, you can do it for hours with no problems.
Yes, lubrication is critical but not milk - phlegm causes vocal problems. Sure, you can do these sounds with phlegm, but that is not sustainable or advisable. (it's like, you can cut a pizza with scissors, but WHY would you when there are correct 'tools'?) Trust me, I've been singing professionally for >30yrs and coaching for >20 so I know what I'm talking about by now.. thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
By the way, why Dave Grohl, playing live, have to scream in the end of any f@cking verses, even writing catchy melodies?! Is he afraid of FF being schedule with Bon Jovi?
Dave seems to do it more towards the end of a tour, so it might just be that his clean vocals are a little rough by that point, so he screams more to make up for it
Folks. Please. Make no mistake. Screaming, or a loud/soft "vocal fry" as it's sometimes called, is a (at worst) dysfunctional or, at best, an inefficient usage of the vocal mechanism. These muscle systems are like any other in the body. And if you use them in a way that promotes inflammation and continue to do it for prolonged periods of time the body will try to heal itself. Eventually you will develop polyps (little bumps) which will prevent the efficient vibration of the vocal folds (they're not cords) which will (again, over time) dramatically affect your ability to sing. If you maintain any aspirations of singing with any kind of a clear tone, screaming like this is not going to help that endeavor. I understand this audience probably isn't aiming for a "classically trained" voice, but if you start down this path, at some point it will become more and more difficult to recover without surgery. The body will adapt to whatever prolonged stimulus you provide. Even Dave Grohl's voice has changed over the years. (full disclosure, long time and forever Foo Fighter's fan, so no complaints there). Just going to leave this here now. Feel free to discuss.
I've been doing it for well over 10years as demonstrated with no long term issues. How are you qualifying these statements? Not looking to argue your opinion, but I always look for some proof to back something up...
