The 02:53 tip was crucial to me. I often caught myself inhaling a lot of air and ending being exhausted while frying (mainly because the air was being SO SLOWLY exhaled to do the technique)
Would you be able to do a yell-type scream tutorial? Shane Told from Silverstein does a lot of it and it just blows my mind how its the perfect blend of a clean and distorted vocal, it would be awesome if you could teach us!
Saw this video just in time! I recently got into dir en grey and I've been jealous on how kyo screams Maybe you can do a tutorial for whistle fry? (I think it was that or whistle scream idr)
A few years ago I thought that the diaphragm was active during singing but it seems that it is not. I read many medical papers on the subject. Like one of them explained: « The diaphragm is passive as it travels upward during exhalation/singing. It is not “working”, even though it is moving as a part of the set of antagonistic relationship of the muscles in the breathing mechanism. The diaphragm can not possibly control anything during singing. The combination of the internal intercostals, abdominal muscles and lower back muscles control the rate of the ascent of the diaphragm, as well as the rate that the rib cage draws back down and in from its expanded state. Credible medical sources on websites almost universally corroborate the inherent antagonism in the coordination of muscles used for breathing and the fact that the diaphragm contracts when moving down on inhalation and releases when moving up on exhalation. It only seems to be sources related to singing and a few other non-medical modalities that confuse the clear functioning of the mechanism. »
I was wondering if I'd see some literature cited. It seems that misconceptions from old tutorials get recycled in the community, to the point where people eventually begin teaching good technique while giving incorrect explanations of what they're doing.
Black metal screams are super variable! If you can already scream with fry or false cord, just try and emulate your favorite vocalists. (Just don't try and be them)
