How to scream: understanding pitched screams 

appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏽

I know I just got pissed off at the gym watching this like great, I'm further behind than I though 🙃

And then Joe Duplantier does it while playing progressive death metal on guitar. Like ... how?

@@JacobNates his technique either isn't too complex or its not very good. I know in the studio he uses a bad technique but live shit is still a question.

@@JacobNates was just listening to Fortitude, dude is fucking insane, even their arguably "worse" or "lighter" albums are amazing, I've loved every single thing I've heard by them, I have no idea how Joe gets the sound he does with his vocals, he screams in key, and his vocal preservation is insane for the techniques he uses

@@JacobNates progressive groove metal, prog death has less micro-repetition and more macro-repetion as well as more subdivision extrapolation and a harmony remeniscent of modern classical music.

Thank you for watching! We hope you found this helpful 😊

@@ExtremeVocalInstitute i have a question. How do you do the gurgle/burp like sound like cattle decapitation, disfiguring the godess, etc

Dyseeker is one of most underrated bands. Rory is amazing

Man I used to do that kind of screaming like 10 years ago, and now I forgot how 😭

Just learn to fry scream in your falsetto range and mess with mouth shape and tongue placement

Howdy. Learn head space pig squeals, then transition it into a high fry. I used to do that in my old band and it sounded pretty cool. Also trying to relearn them like 15 years later lol

So glad you’re enjoying the content! 😁

He spent years mastering the Sponge bob voice

hit a G5! Spencer is an amazing vocalist, it's really cool he's inspired you to learn :)

Spencer inspire me to learn more about screams too. Daniel Tompkins too

Spencer is somewhere between a high tenor and a light mid tenor so screaming at a g5 with proper technique would be similar to a mezzo soprano screaming at that pitch. Lacey from flyleaf was great at this.

Glad you find them useful! Thanks for watching! 🤘

Thanks for watching! We definitely plan on doing more videos on this topic since it is such a popular sound in modern music 😊

@@ExtremeVocalInstitute can't wait! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for watching! Glad you found the information useful. We can definitely look into what he’s doing and talk about it in a future video 😊

Extreme Vocal Institute I second this! Please do josh Middleton from sylosis!

yeah please do josh middleton from sylosis

@@noobmaster8155 Can you explain to me what it is about Josh Middleton that you are hearing that is unique? I love his screams, but it sounds like pretty straightforward fry screams in my opinion... and if you are talking about the "pitched" screaming like at the end of "I sever", it's deceptive. The melody of the synth in the background coupled with what I believe to be clean vocals low in the mix make it sound much more pitched than it really is. It's a great mixing technique, but not his screaming that causes it. Watch live version if you don't want to take my word for it. But if there's something else I haven't heard (I am not hugely familiar with the band) I'd love to hear it. I know I am not who you were asking for an explanation, but I am curious.

Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful 😊

You are very welcome

Feel free to reach out to us if you’re interested in learning or check out our EVI Now program for more detailed information on how to activate the sound 😊 extremevocalinstitute.com

Hi! We do 30 Second Voice Lesson videos where David breaks down different artists’ sounds. He hasn’t done Joe’s yet but he is on the list so keep an eye out! 😊

You’re also great

We’re so glad that you found it helpful! 🤘

Thank YOU 😊

Hell yeah! Stoked that this stuff is helping you 🙌

It comes up several times in our EVI Now program and we have an entire course on pitched screaming as well. You can learn more about the program here: extremevocalinstitute.com/evi-now

Melodic stability, balance and practice are key!

@@ExtremeVocalInstitute I sent a request to get lessons with David :0)

It’s going to vary from person to person but here are some videos to check out that will help you: False cord vs fry screams: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rvQmyYR2k9Y.html Breathing for metal vocals: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wj-gqIPy_44.html Power ≠ tone: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0cxP1gt8Rx0.html

Chris Liepe has some videos breaking down Chris Cornell’s style. His videos are similar in style with things easily and clearly explained - maybe you will find it insightful

We do love some Cattle Decap! 😍 Thanks for the sub!

Truly a legend

Sounds like theirs an imbalance of how you’re creating the sound. Usually this is the result of constricting the throat or pushing too hard to force the sounds out. These vocals are all about balance and doing the least amount of work to get the maximum amount of output. Check out our videos on breathing for metal vocals and power ≠ tone for more info on that. You may need to go back to the foundation of how you’re getting to the sound in the first place. Hope that helps and if you need more help you call feel free to reach out for a lesson via our website: extremevocalinstitute.con/private-lessons

@@ExtremeVocalInstitute thank you

We avoid calling it that because shouting and yelling are different and much more damaging to the vocal cords. This is an actual technique that is safer to use if balanced appropriately and used in moderation

@@ExtremeVocalInstitute "Pitched scream", your channel (I believe) is the first place I've ever heard the term. I only referred to it in the past as "yells" because I wasn't sure how to classify them on my own with no one else's input (lol). Then, I think the Voice Hacks channel got me into calling them "shouts". But I can see where "Pitched scream" is probably the best term for it. For me, it's just awesome seeing people talk about this stuff because for a long time I was just independently learning it on my own, but never knew what to call things and so on. xD Keep it up mate!

Yeah we stray from using “shouts” or “yells” in our terminology because you’re not yelling or shouting and people get confused. The term “pitched screaming” definitely didn’t originate with us but it is our preferred term for this style of vocalizing

We have a bunch of reviews on our website! Here’s also some posts from artists we’ve worked with: instagram.com/p/CRfIbVCpJcM/? instagram.com/p/CKzukxSAzmH/? instagram.com/p/B-aUFwLJYUf/?

It was lmao

maybe someday 😂

Hahaha not intentional and we use ProTools now! It’s a great DAW for getting started with though!

@@ExtremeVocalInstitute is there really a big upgrade btwn reaper and protools? Reaper seems to have everything we need. Also, what do you mean by pitched DL?.

@@TheronasaurusRx ProTools is industry standard and the producers I work with use it. You can get everything you need from Reaper and if you like it, great! Just found ProTools better for our needs

@@ExtremeVocalInstitute yeah, i hear ya. I guess I'm correct in my assumption that reaper and protools are about equal performance-wise but protools just has dominance bc the big dogs use it. keep up the good work and good luck!

Hi! We understand that people have different styles of learning. We have an entire series of videos where David just breaks down certain sounds without speaking at all. David puts a lot of effort into explaining things in a way that everyone can understand and sometimes that does mean repeating things. Thanks for the feedback though!

Here’s a link to that series: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U-RgnKutuvw.html We also have several newer ones available on our Instagram @extremevocalinstitute

Imagine getting mad over an example lmao.

imagine saying that LP are a joke nah u are a joke, get out of the comment section

You're saying it like the bands you listed aren't played on the radio from time to time as well 💀💀

Hi! This video wasn’t about vocal demonstrations as much as it was about the differences in the types of vocals. We have a series called 30 Second Voice Lessons that you might like a bit more if you’re interested in vocal demonstrations. You can find some of the examples on our channel or you call follow our Instagram or David’s TikTok for more of that! Instagram: instagram.com/extremevocalinstitute TikTok: vm.tiktok.com/ZMeHQTEep/
