Bert Mckraken:The Used or Ryan Clark:Demon Hunter
Any one got input on how these guys do their vocals? Bert has such a way to convey such emotional tone to his screams and ryan just has such a gritty harshness but very understandable annunciation.

why is my voice breaking
I'm not sure if this would help a lot but I'm sure it would help me
I've been trying to make my fry screams loud lately but my voice keeps breaking as if I can't hold the notes I'm screaming.
sadly this affected my normal fry screams. now I can't sing mid-range fry scream with a comfortable note my voice keeps breaking and I don't know how to explain it in a very good way.
but if you have any suggestions, please drop it

Does this sound healthy?
Wanna make sure i'm not doing anything wrong. A 1h long vocal workout using this technique sometimes makes me feel sort of "heat" in my throat, but never experienced pain.

Guidance for fry
Hey, I'm in need of some help with my fry. I'm struggling with tension, which makes it extremely difficult to pronounce words without losing the sound. Due to the tension, I'm also unable to push enough fast air, which makes the scream sound kinda "burpy" (and also ass) for the lack of a better term.
I cannot figure out how to loosen up. The base of my screams is khovu kargyraa. When transitioning to a scream, I try to add the kind of air you'd use to fog up a window, but in the process I accidentally add more closure than I use when throat singing. If I start releasing the khoomei style closure, the scream turns into a false cord rumble.
Would appreciate any tips! I've been practicing fry somewhat consistently for 4 months. Tagging u/Hulkswagin because I used one of your clips as guidance to get here. :)

Fred Durst’s screaming technique
What I’ve noticed with Fred D’s screams in most Limp Bizkit tracks is although it doesn’t sound noticeably high pitched in the mix, when you focus on it and compare it to how most FC and fry screams sound, it’s much higher pitch.
Does anyone know how to describe his technique and anything to practice in order to learn to pull that off without hurting the vocal cords?

What are some good voice recording apps?
I want a better way of recording my vocals on my phone so I can show them better. My vocal coach even said he wants to mix my vocals if I can find him an instrumental of a song and a recording of my raw vocals.
Any good apps for that?

False chord hurts, throat singing doesn’t
Really not much else to it-
Extended (15+ min) practice of Kargyraa: tingles
Extending (15+ min) practice of False chord: more extreme tingles in beginning, turns into Pain

What u think?
Im 16 snd ive barely done any screaming in these past couple of months. Im very proud of my false chord guttural, not so much of my fry and highs. I was just doodling with my vocals a bit. this came up and it felt good. Wyt?

Trying to growl with false chords hurts.
I’ve been having pain when trying to use false chord growling recently. Can anyone point out changes I need to make based of this video of me singing and screaming?
I’ve already noticed I don’t drink enough water while practicing, so I’m going to do that more in the future, but if anyone could pick out other issues or give feedback it would be appreciated.

My false cord screams, feedback very welcome
Hi all, I'm 18 and started practicing about 5 months ago, it's difficult to find time or a place to do so but I've kinda gotten some false cord screams now (I think, if I'm incorrect please let me know what it is). This is a part of 'pandora' by fit for an autopsy. Anything you like or dislike about it or advice is welcome as I'm eager to learn more.
I also have this problem: if I practice for a while it'll start to hurt in my throat, hard to describe but it feels almost like stinging? It has never affected my voice or anything and disappears again after several hours, it only just hurts. If I do throat singing I feel it the most, so I suspect it has to do with my false cords. Is it dangerous, what causes it and how can I fix it?
