Can people give me a tip on how to scream without injuring my throat?

Question

I am in a metalcore band and want to learn how to scream without hurting myself. I don't want any comments from people who hate the music and are just going to tell me it's retarded and I should get out. I want people who know what they are talking about to help.

Answer 1

Practice raising the level of your voice or growl. You will wear out your voice in a few minutes if you're going to strong - you have to learn how to back off and build up your stamina. It's easy to just burn out your voice - the trick is not blowing it out on 1 or 2 songs because you're really into the music.

Listen to some of the other styles out there - Fear Factory to Dimmu Borgir - and see what you want to go with.

A trick that I sometimes use is using two mics. One is for high-powered vocals that I know I can belt out - the other is turned up so I don't have to scream my lungs out to be heard. To do this you'll probably have to run the monitors & PA yourself to match the rest of the band, and with a little practice you can figure out how much power you need to be heard through each.

There are vocal coaches that can help you if you are near a big city.
