I love this kind of stuff because people who don’t even like deathcore, or even any kind of screaming genre can see how it’s really just another way to express your voice musically.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how much Will does for channels by coming on and talking about what he does. He’s just great at what he does and is a great human being in general. Edit: holy shit, this is the first time I’ve had a top comment, and 1.1k likes? That’s pretty cool, thank you guys!
Hes one of the first that ive seen who actually really seems to appreciate the position hes been put in and wants to repay the community by helping out with that he can. Most people in his position would charge for most of the things hes done like the camera down the throat video or this video. Also unfortunately this type of music doesn't seem to have many vocalist that seem to be as outgoing as will so we got lucky with how outgoing and appreciative he seems to be and also humble and not money hungry. Its the best combo we could've hoped for.
@@iamdillyj that’s no fucking joke bro. The enthusiasm in his body language is undeniable. I’m so floored that I’m going to see him, and the rest of Lorna, in September. I hope to get a chance to meet him or something just to tell him how much his humility has been noticed, but we’ll see.
Will is a freak in the best possible way -- I'm not really a huge fan of the genre but his abilities are just incredible. And he seems like an authentically good dude with a great personality.
I agree 100%. Not a hige fan of the genre. Saw then a few weeks ago with mastodon and gonira. Few songs I like. He does have some great vocals. Awesome guttural. He does seem like an awesome dude.
2009 i started and sounded great practiced and recorded myself daily till 2011 where i got violently sick and spent years in hospital survived and didn't scream for 8 years and now i have been practicing on and off since 2021 but man its like being sick took away 90% of my former skills and it saddens me cause i could listen to a track and cover it near instantly or at least within a month of practice 😢😢 this is why Will really inspires me cause im sick again and i just like to appreciate the talent he and others exhibit in their music.
I practiced a few years to growl without tension on my neck. Now I am using tongue and it made my growl more preetier and professional. Will Ramos is the most relaxed deathcore vocalist ever I seen.
What!? Thank you for sharing that. I tried a different tongue position and just by bringing my tongue back and upwards I found a nice growl that I didn't know I had.
Bro, that cupping the ears thing is wild. I've never heard my voice like that. Will is a master of his craft, and it's so cool how willing he is to let people know how he does what he does.
There is a culturally significant movement happening here: the vocals of this music style are starting to create awe and curiosity in people. So now the technical skill of this is being investigated-which means it is respected, and not just by practitioners or fans-but it’s starting to catch the attention of the average person. This is really really good for metal! Look at the explosion of technical skill on all instruments and vocals lately… we are entering a great time to love metal.
I was thinking the exact same thing as I was watching this, the metal growl is becoming more accepted in the mainstream, back in ‘the day’ only hardcore metal heads couldn’t handle it. Exciting to see the progression.
I hadn't thought of it that way before. I don't sing or anything, but it's fascinating to watch people make weird noises and be nerdy and passionate about it.
@icankillbugs it helps bring more attention and acceptability to more extreme forms of musicianship. more people who used to think metal was just power chords and talentless screams, now see that metal has complex structures, and the vocals are actually a skill and not just noise. musicians that are exceptional at their instrument are seeing that metal is the most diverse genre of music, be it a guitarist looking to challenge themselves, or even a full on classical strings musician can find a place in a symphonic black metal band. more people "getting it" means more future musicians in the genre, that would have never given metal a chance before.
@icankillbugs not since Cannibal Corpse has there been a death metal band that has tickled the mainstream ears, and Lorna have created music which many, many, people that would have never given such an extreme form of music a chance, are listening, and liking, or at least understanding its real musicianship. that just helps the entire scope of the genre (metal)
@icankillbugs just like Cannibal, Lorna has brought many new ears to an extreme metal style, which helps the entire scene, i just went to a Lorna Shore concert a couple weeks ago, im not in a huge city, and it was sold out, packed house, they are helping the scene grow by bringing in more people, that wouldnt have listened to such heavy music before. just like Cannibal Corpse did way back when.
Holy cow - finally a vocal coaching channel without blabla and just getting right into it. And even more important: no fear to try stuff with his voice. this is really motivating and liberating! Subscribed =)
Just funny how deathcore and metalcore bands are low key the nicest people on music. Never heard of Will and Lorna Shore before but definitely gonna keep tabs on them now. What a legend 🤘🏻
@lewisstickley5142 his teaching and talking through the process is awesome. I can listen to this and understand his process. But i think these growl and screams ruin the good music the band is making. Saw lorna shore on tuesday and the music was great, the vocals i tuned out, no care for them.
Now I know from this that Alex Terrible's screams are mostly without tongue. Thank you for explaining in detail, Will. Really one of the best in the field.
Yessss! Cupping your ear is super important. I’m 29 now, and I’ve been doing vocals since I was 15. Cupping my ear has vitally changed the range in which I’ve been able to produce. I’ve never seen anyone else do this technique.
Such eloquence from both of these guys. I dismissed a lot of this metal and vocals thinking it was all post-processed. I was wrong, it's a crazy talent and skill. Cheers!! 🤘🤘🤘
Lorna shore just has one of the most coolest edgiest vocals tbh, I can’t really see myself being that talented when trying it out for myself lol but it’s really interesting how other vocalists in deathcore bands are able to create they’re own unique tone too. 🖤🤘🏽
Great video, Chris! Thanks for inviting Will to share some of his techniques. This is so cool for people wanting to learn how to do this properly as well as for fans who are interested to know, "how does he DO that?!" Big ups to Will for being so generous with his time and caring that people want this content when he could keep all his skills and techniques to himself, he chooses to share and help develop other talents for the scene. And as always, thank you Chris, for always providing us with your invaluable knowledge. Much appreciated!
I loooove when Vocalists vary their frequencies and tones. Not arbitrarily but matching what the song and/or lyrics require. The 1st time I heard a good example of this was Peter Tagtgrens vocals in Bloodbath, Nightmares made Flesh. As he also mixed in these ascending and descending piercing screams along w the varied growls. Highly recommend.
This is amazing. I was screaming along with Will in my garage ahahaha. Seriously tho I love how you’re giving people insight into this style of metal. It’s needed
Been screaming for about 12 years and I’m still learning this stuff. Even just new approaches or different perspectives. My inner nerd is so happy with these types of videos.
Will just kinda stares into ones soul but hes a great guy i really like him and how he helps his community in achieving their goals as with this tutorial
i absolutely love that the 3 of you have gotten together for this. i followed both you and elizabeth before i was introduced to will through another reactor, TankTheTech, and he is the first harsh vocalist i ever actually enjoyed listening to. you all have opened my eyes and ears in different ways, so this collab is just magical to me 💜
Really glad he mentioned how to alter the sounds for song variation. I have heard too many metal bands recently, even in live concerts, have every song sound exactly the same due to the singer only doing one type of scream.
Weil man irgendwo erstmal anfangen muss? Wie wäre es damit? Klar man könnte es machen wie in den Niederlande/Spanien und eine Duldungspolitik machen aber, das ist es dann auch nur Duldung und keine legalisierung!
Yes yes yes! I’ve been trying to work more on my vocals but I’ve noticed the more I try the more I end up hurting myself. I’m going to be signing up for that warm up course now! This video was awesome and I love Will so much, he’s an incredible vocalist ❤️
Can we all take a minute to appreciate how whenever Will looks at you or the camera his head leans to his right and he has a "would you look at that" expression?
Loved this! Thank you for touching on some basic yet extremely important things that many beginners have questions about but virtually are never touched upon!!!
This is exactly the video I needed. I started learning singing and screaming about 9 months ago, fry screaming was pretty easy to learn and practice but all the videos I saw on growling I never managed to understand exactly what people were doing. This is by far the best video on the subject I've seen and I think it'll really help me get into growling and learn how to practice it and make it my own. I hope you've got more videos planned with Will he's a monster of a vocalist.
I've been doing harsh vocals for like 10 years and these warmup videos were actually awesome. The straw techniques Will does really let you feel the diaphram
I’ve been doing screams for 5 years now just figuring it as I go, but to hear it broken down to science is so much help! Can’t wait to check out the course!
Man…. I feel like I’ve been studying vocals and technique for over 30+ years….. NOTHING has been more valuable than cupping your ear…….. I feel like I’ve finally found the missing link and it’s 100000% thanks to Will!! Thank you so much for FINALLY helping me solve this decades long puzzle!
It’s great seeing one of the metal GOATS showing people how to truly scream and not damage their shit. I’ve been practicing for like 8 years and didn’t have it fully until watching will
This is probably the only vocal course im ever going to end up paying for. ive been trying to learn screams for 6 years and haven't figured it out. If Will cant point me in the right direction, i dont think anyone can
I had the same problem for 2-3 years. And suddenly one day out of nowhere I figured it out. It sounded like shit at first but now I have a very solid fry scream. The problem is I can barely sing through an entire song because my voice wears out. I suggest trying to learn fry. The way I do it is tightening my abdominal muscles and really constricting my throat (without pain) and then pushing air combined with head voice through that and that's how I get distortion.
And a huge thank you to Will Ramos... just love him and how he said, i quit growl like 4 years ago and now im trying them again, it is a hobby but love it ❤❤❤
I've watched a variety of extreme vocal videos from a variety of creators and I have to say seeing it in a more conversational format helps the understanding so much more than just assuming something about technique
Fantastic content, you guys make it extremely easy to understand. I remember years ago when I first started learning how hard it was to find good info on this subject unless you ordered Melissa Crosses' DVDs or something lol so again, bravo for being the helping hand that you are today from all of us learners to you
As an elite athlete, I’m always looking for how things might apply across discipline. The idea of really warming up makes a lot of sense to me. Runners who are new just tend to go out and run. In reality you need at least a little warmup to make sure your muscles are ready to go! Similar to what Will was saying. There’s also a balance between pushing too hard and not pushing enough. Too hard and your injured. Not hard enough and you don’t get results- again, similar to what Will was saying. Lastly, I love all the nuanced movements and placements to give a bit of diversity in the mix. Just like running- when you know how to move well (doing drills) you can love differently on different terrain to make things easier/harder. I also love Chris, your enthusiasm and willingness to be a student. So cool!! I’ll be signing up as I’m slowly dipping into metal vocals. Thanks for teaching Will and Chris!
I saw LornaShore open for Gojira and Mastodon on 4/20 in Concord. I didn't think i would enjoy it, but Will's energy and talent blew me away. Ever since that concert i have been OBSESSED and watching everything with Will in it. Not only is his skills impressive, but he seems so down to earth and charismatic.
The cupping of the ear reminds me of how a dj has the second channel that he’s going to switch to going in one ear and listening to the set without a headphone in the other ear. They’re using 1 headphone to prep the next track and they’re using the other ear to hear exactly what the audience is getting in the moment
I know how to scream, but I didn’t know the hand trick for the instant feedback that is absolute gold! Super valuable tool. I love how simple will made this, it is simple and instinctive and over doing things leads to people missing the core parts of what they’re doing, really appreciate the honesty and sensible way you demonstrated everything.
I don’t think I can even begin to comprehend how DIFFICULT it is to do an hour long show, switching from highs and lows, to all these other techniques. I wonder if it feels like a full upper body workout after a show for Will?
Practice makes possible. :) it’s amazing how effortless it looks when will is doing all of this, especially over longer periods of time. He’s quick to point out that he is where is because of consistent practice!
WOW! As a home enthusiast musician who's only just getting to the point of wanting to actually produce music, I've gotta say that open cup thing Will does is incredible. Even just in the last 10 minutes or so I can definitely see what he means regarding your muscles learning what makes the sound you're after with the live feedback. What absolutely incredible advice. And thankfully I already signed up for the warmups as well so between it and the one from Spencer, My confidence in being able to put out some solid work is steadily rising. Man I'm soo hyped for the future. Thank you for this.
Will seems like a pretty chill dude. You should also get Tom Barber of Darko on, hilariously enough previously of Lorna Shore. That band has had several extremely talented vocalists with different tones / sounds
This was very cool! I have always had an appreciation for this type of singing, but struggle to understand the words when I hear them. I grew up listening to Slayer, Pantera, etc. It's an adjustment listening to the growling vocals. Kinda reminds me of the Mongolian Throat Singing, such low vibrations. Take care Chris💕
I love this kind of stuff because people who don’t even like deathcore, or even any kind of screaming genre can see how it’s really just another way to express your voice musically.
YESSSS
I don’t like or listen that music but i like doing and learning these screams for fun
No deal with a devil necessary!
Exactly. You can at least appreciate the effort that it takes.
@@zichithefox4781yo this! I am just baffled by the kinds of sounds we can make without even having to be possessed!

You are not really a fan of the genre *yet*
Me neither but he has such a likeable personality. The Charismatic Voice did many things with him that were such fun
Exactly my conclusion from the vid.
Had the pleasure of meeting him at a bar in jersey...super chill dude, exactly as he comes across in these interviews and what not
I agree 100%. Not a hige fan of the genre. Saw then a few weeks ago with mastodon and gonira. Few songs I like. He does have some great vocals. Awesome guttural. He does seem like an awesome dude.
Will is the most charismatic bro in deathcore🤘🏻
This channel is definitely going in the right direction. Keep up the good work, Chris!

Youve had so many vocalists on here. Will is the first you can tell is just genuinely down to earth and has no ego about him. Hes the best.
Omg Chris can finally do the nasty noises like i never heard him do before
We did it boys we made him into a monster

wow that is insane!!
I love wills energy and how funny he is 🤘🏼
I’ve never seen such a talented person who is equally nice. I will watch anything and everything he puts out.

Lastly, I love all the nuanced movements and placements to give a bit of diversity in the mix. Just like running- when you know how to move well (doing drills) you can love differently on different terrain to make things easier/harder.
I also love Chris, your enthusiasm and willingness to be a student. So cool!!
I’ll be signing up as I’m slowly dipping into metal vocals. Thanks for teaching Will and Chris!
I remember watching A wake in Providence live and will has just gotten so much better since then. Was good then, but even better now
Chris and Will are both really great vocalists, and I'd say even better ambassadors of open-minded singing
I saw LornaShore open for Gojira and Mastodon on 4/20 in Concord. I didn't think i would enjoy it, but Will's energy and talent blew me away. Ever since that concert i have been OBSESSED and watching everything with Will in it. Not only is his skills impressive, but he seems so down to earth and charismatic.
The cupping of the ear reminds me of how a dj has the second channel that he’s going to switch to going in one ear and listening to the set without a headphone in the other ear. They’re using 1 headphone to prep the next track and they’re using the other ear to hear exactly what the audience is getting in the moment
This man's a legend!
Incredibly valuable content. Thanks to you both!
Thank both of you for making this video!
Will Ramos is a great guy
saw Lorna Shore live at Download23, and then during Parkway's set I ended up fist bumping the whole band. what a guy.
I know how to scream, but I didn’t know the hand trick for the instant feedback that is absolute gold! Super valuable tool. I love how simple will made this, it is simple and instinctive and over doing things leads to people missing the core parts of what they’re doing, really appreciate the honesty and sensible way you demonstrated everything.
I don’t think I can even begin to comprehend how DIFFICULT it is to do an hour long show, switching from highs and lows, to all these other techniques. I wonder if it feels like a full upper body workout after a show for Will?
Practice makes possible. :) it’s amazing how effortless it looks when will is doing all of this, especially over longer periods of time. He’s quick to point out that he is where is because of consistent practice!
So like every other deathcore vocalist? Lmao.
@@garretts431definetly not every other deathcore vocalist. Sure Will is not the only great vocalist. But there are plenty that arent that good.
Good stuff as always! Thank you Chris and Will!
Este tipo es un animal..... Lo que logra con la voz es increíble
Bruh.... This is amazingly helpful even in the way of just having a realistic warm up before growling that you can see a difference right away.
WOW! As a home enthusiast musician who's only just getting to the point of wanting to actually produce music, I've gotta say that open cup thing Will does is incredible. Even just in the last 10 minutes or so I can definitely see what he means regarding your muscles learning what makes the sound you're after with the live feedback. What absolutely incredible advice. And thankfully I already signed up for the warmups as well so between it and the one from Spencer, My confidence in being able to put out some solid work is steadily rising. Man I'm soo hyped for the future. Thank you for this.
will has this shit down to a science. he's so fuckin in tune with what he's doing.... wow
Step 1: learn
Step 2: drive to the orphanage
Step 3: *power*
This dude is the king of brutal vocals. Super versatile and filthy at the same time.
Will seems like a pretty chill dude. You should also get Tom Barber of Darko on, hilariously enough previously of Lorna Shore. That band has had several extremely talented vocalists with different tones / sounds
Yeeees to this ☝️
I just love seeing videos like this because to non-metal heads can see how it’s not “just screaming” there’s so much more to it.
This was very cool! I have always had an appreciation for this type of singing, but struggle to understand the words when I hear them. I grew up listening to Slayer, Pantera, etc. It's an adjustment listening to the growling vocals. Kinda reminds me of the Mongolian Throat Singing, such low vibrations. Take care Chris💕
