i genuinely have no idea how he gets so high. its like even when you see his first screaming video, his screams were so high, much higher than most vocalists.
In my personal experience after screaming if I drink milk it promotes the production of phlegm and generally leads to me coughing, which can damage the vocal chords. I've seen it mentioned a few times also, which is why I promote the water and not the milk. But it is true that for some milk will work, for others not. In the end, as long as you aren't damaging your vocal chords, both work perfectly fine.
I watch this video over and over and over again. I'v been doing what you have been saying and I have been improving, thanks you are amazing. :D you sound great!
@piramaniak Whoops, my bad haha. To get the louder you basically just have to project as much as you can. It will feel a bit odd at first, and might even make your screams sound like crap, but it's worth it if you want them louder. You'll get back your pitch and such after a while. But if you don't want to go through practicing to get your screams to sound a certain way again, don't worry about volume.
HEY!!!! you're probably one of the best screamers i've heard!!!! and i love the band!!! :D i really have trouble getting from my mids to my highs, i've got a solid low, i've got the solid mid, but i just have trouble getting any higher :/ HELP!!??!?!?!
hey dude!! u helped a lot..but i've got some questions..1. I smoke..and it helps me to get my growls smoother.. so will it harm my vocals? 2. My growls are very low...i mean...veeeryy low..but i don't know how to increase my growl's volume...any tips? ...thanx!!
Hey, Ian... your screams are the most epic I've ever heard.. but anyways.. what i was wondering about was how do i get my highs more distorted and less "girly" ? Would be gratefull if you replied!
don't smoke, initially it will seem like it helps. but after time it will make yur voice work. i used to smoke as well during my period when i screamed. it doesnt really makke a difference in the long run, and i quit too so you should quit xD
your deep scream nearly made me piss myself, i was on facebook and talking to friend as it was playing and then you started and i fucking jumped a 1inch of my chair. just to let you know XD
It's done by tongue position and the shape of the back of your mouth.. The larger the shape of your mouth is there, the deeper it goes and the more of that 'echo' gets applied.. Lifting the tongue to the back of the top teeth raises the soft palette, hence a deeper sound.. But also by lowering the larynx..
best way i've ever seen it written, was 6 years ago when i started. Go to wikihow and type in "how to do brutal metal vocals" or something like that. It explains it better than I can
To get your tones lower your mouth should be slightly closed in the shape of O so you can push the air out and down. And to get higher tones you should open your mouth as much as you can,so you can push the air out and up. Learned that from opera lessons. (:
Could you do a more in depth tutorial on tounge placement and air flow specifically I would really appreciate it cuz your vids have helped me alot thanks man
For the best explanation watch Zen of Screaming and Zen of Screaming 2.. The original is the basics, going into mouth shapes and all that stuff.. The second covers the more advanced techniques and goes into better depth of fry, false chord and death.. If by "evil/demonic" you mean deep as hell itself as I'm assuming, it's more than just the position of your tongue.. Check out those DVDs and you'll be A for away..
Ahh i'm not disappointed, i'm happy with my sound already i'd just love to get the evil / demonic feel. I guess as you say there will be a day i figure out how to do it :)
@TheNameIsPascal thanks for the answer first. if i do it that way its guttural, but its not a good way for me to "growl clearly". but i think i find a way now to growl better. thanks for your help
I would love to see you cover Eradication or Wage Slaves by All Shall Perish. ASP songs are some of my favourite songs to practice to as they are a vocal workout.
i can growl, mids, screams. but: my growl sucks. its getting quiter with every scream between. the growl hasnt the power when it comes out. it should be more gutteral and louder. how long did you practise to get your growls like you have. or is this growl by nature? ;-) btw: i tried to pig squeal like you discriped it and i got it somehow oO not that good but i practise. thanks.
Dude, when you did your lowest low it's like you doubled up your voice. Fucking awesome! Question though: Am i meant to tighten my diaphragm when screaming (like when you tense your abs)?
hey i got a question for you... do you have to warm up with singing to get ur screams good, or can u make the scream sounds awesome without warming up?
Wow your screams are brutal. If I get you right, youRe doing the "barking" sound, what melissa cross calls the death screaming or false chord. How dou you get your screams so raspy and powerfull?
I'm not bagging or anything but your low technique is what are considered "Gutterals", gutterals are generally lower than a fry scream or a false chord scream, and they sound a hell of a lot like a demon. If you want to get his lows - look up "how to gutteral scream" and that's how you get his technique, they'll talk about shit like pee-wee Herman and there's some helpful shit on it. This video's more when you've got your screams down-pat and just want to perfect them. Which is good but yeah...
so sad to see him depart from RoS. his vocals really made the songs complete. i wish you the best Ian, you are a beast
Why did he leave?
i genuinely have no idea how he gets so high. its like even when you see his first screaming video, his screams were so high, much higher than most vocalists.
damnn he transformed ever since 2010. like shiiit he must have worked out
I've Seen Better he's buffed asf
Jeez you look like Ian from Smosh. Ironically you're an Ian too.
Coincidence*

Dude that's a beanie not his hair XD
666th like...Rings øf Saturn
@hutchesonlewis Hope you dig it bro. We're crossing our fingers to catch a break a hopefully get big.
Ian Bearer this comment really held up
7:10 how do you do that 5th scream, the off tone low? I love that.
the tone is largely based off of raising the soft pallette.
+uhhhsmiley - Yea :D The 5th one is cra-a-a-a-zy~ But I guess Ian is too busy to answer any questions :C
+Leon Hartt 5 years old vid, mate
+Sven - Exactly! His screams must be even crazier today!
+Leon Hartt he's the vocalest in the band rings of saturn. Look it up its awesome
@lovelostinashes7 Yes lol. My original one was over a year ago haha, and my other one was for suicide silence vocals. This is just an updated video.
2:36 teach me that dopeness
My lows are set but my highs sound like a dying cat. :/
God damn his teeth are white
Gosh Darn please.
+josh conder No
+Jay Ward donuts
He doesn't even brush them. he screams the plaque off of them
holy phil bozeman batman...
It's your preference, milk just soothes the throat but water works well if you'd rather have that
Its the first HowToScream video i really understand. Your Words to this topic are nice and reasonable! Thx for this Dude!!
i fucking love your screams...

I watch this video over and over and over again. I'v been doing what you have been saying and I have been improving, thanks you are amazing. :D you sound great!

How can i make i mids middier
6:10 OOOOH MY DOOG WASSUP
@MrGLENWOOD Awesome! Can't wait to check it out:D
It actually helps if you contract your abdominal muscles..
Was I the only one who cried tears of joy and said fucking brutal when I heard the lows?
@piramaniak Whoops, my bad haha. To get the louder you basically just have to project as much as you can. It will feel a bit odd at first, and might even make your screams sound like crap, but it's worth it if you want them louder. You'll get back your pitch and such after a while.

You're such a great vocalist, i hope you get into a band soon!
Basically, push your air out with your abs rather than just how you regularly talk
hey dude!! u helped a lot..but i've got some questions..1. I smoke..and it helps me to get my growls smoother.. so will it harm my vocals?
2. My growls are very low...i mean...veeeryy low..but i don't know how to increase my growl's volume...any tips? ...thanx!!
Thyaris Sikder use more force
I fucking love your band.
Downloading the demo with the last of my iTunes card as I type this, just because I like your videos that much. Grade A stuff, man.
Hey, Ian... your screams are the most epic I've ever heard.. but anyways.. what i was wondering about was how do i get my highs more distorted and less "girly" ? Would be gratefull if you replied!
im seriously buying your EP now just because of this video.
pig-squealier is now a word i will use, thanx it made me laugh
You will be famous its obvious, a talent like that can't be hide, It would be a waste!
Awesome tutorial. I learned a lot from this :)
Got your EP off of the Zune Marketplace. Glad it's on there cause I don't use iTunes
you look so much better without the hats.
Check out Zen of Screaming and ZoS 2.. Best explanation you'll ever get
don't smoke, initially it will seem like it helps. but after time it will make yur voice work. i used to smoke as well during my period when i screamed. it doesnt really makke a difference in the long run, and i quit too so you should quit xD
I started around early August last year.
@BrutalScream669 you guys HAVE to get big, anything else would be ridiculous!
your screams are fucking awesome. Your band is amazing too
your deep scream nearly made me piss myself, i was on facebook and talking to friend as it was playing and then you started and i fucking jumped a 1inch of my chair. just to let you know XD
that cricket noise was cool :p

BrutalScream, thats exactly the way you scream ! :D BRUTAL ! bro, youre screams burns in brain!
@MrBallsackDude Took me about 6 months before i started sounding decent.
best way i've ever seen it written, was 6 years ago when i started. Go to wikihow and type in "how to do brutal metal vocals" or something like that. It explains it better than I can
when your starting out like i am, is all of your screams, growls, lows, EVERYTHING all based from that dog barking technique?
To get your tones lower your mouth should be slightly closed in the shape of O so you can push the air out and down. And to get higher tones you should open your mouth as much as you can,so you can push the air out and up. Learned that from opera lessons. (:
So goood!

nice kitchen bro :)
@Adamhawk09 I just went for straight monster noise at 2:38 dude haha, glad you dig it. We need a sheetz walk soon!:D
Did my mate Adam bring this on haha?
Asking about advice on facebook ;) ?
I think he deleted it out of respect for his death. But I still wish he would of kept it, it was a helpful tutorial video.
@FabricateEradicate He already did a cover of Wage Slaves, and shit was it awesome.
I would love to see you cover Eradication or Wage Slaves by All Shall Perish.
ASP songs are some of my favourite songs to practice to as they are a vocal workout.
@HameNmk About 5 or 6 months.
Whats the tongue positioning for the lows you are doing?
Thanks man, this really helped :)
I kinda liked that cricket noise.. xD
wouldn't be a mix of these two types of vocal?
cuz is high like false chord, but sounds like fry.
That low scream around 2:35 ... o.o
thank you man
you should make a video on some of the tweeks you do for covers
Awesome!! Man you're GODLIKE! Thnx for the Tips!
Farewell :)
I would have so much fun with that lol
Only video on youtube I found helpful atall

i can growl, mids, screams. but: my growl sucks. its getting quiter with every scream between. the growl hasnt the power when it comes out. it should be more gutteral and louder.
how long did you practise to get your growls like you have. or is this growl by nature? ;-)
btw: i tried to pig squeal like you discriped it and i got it somehow oO not that good but i practise. thanks.
Practice so you get used to it, drink slightly warm water during practice and then drink milk after practice. You'll get used to it.
I wish I could just get the original "sigh" down, I don't really understand how you even got the "bark" thing...oh well haha.
@brutalscream669 Bought your bands EP the day it came out on itunes.
@BrutalScream669 man, how long did you practice to get them? :')
Dude, when you did your lowest low it's like you doubled up your voice. Fucking awesome! Question though: Am i meant to tighten my diaphragm when screaming (like when you tense your abs)?
TONNNNN of messages lol amazing video mate!!! :D
hey i got a question for you... do you have to warm up with singing to get ur screams good, or can u make the scream sounds awesome without warming up?
