Vocal Fry Tutorial I - How to find your vocal fry - Vocal Distortion Tutorials by Aliki Katriou 

I literally just burped at your lowest fry pitch lol. Perfect harmony

I never realized that I have basically been using a low vocal fry for years to scary my boyfriend into thinking the girl from The Grudge was in the house.

4:23 me stepping on a LEGO at night when everyone is sleeping :D

Most helpful tutorial for vocal fry I’ve found on RU-vid BY FAR and I’ve probably watched them all

Please, make more videos. You are of the few people in youtube that know what they are talking about and know how to communicate it.

From the first time I saw you spoke on the singing revealed live chat, I know you're an intelligent person from your interesting way of speaking and expression (and gesture lol). You know things and can explain in a very good way. The world needs more vocal coach like you! Love from Hong Kong!

Wow really good explanation. Whenever I try to explain screaming in my own tutorials I'm not as clear as you are 🖤

Going through multiple of Akili's tutorials, I noticed that her movements & facial expression changes are frequent, expressive, and elegantly to the point, but also have this delightfully neurotic jerkiness to them. It gives me the feeling that even if Akili doesn't have this godly control of voice, she is a sight to watch live just for her stage presence alone.

I’ve been watching videos for months and you’re the first to not even need to ask me to subscribe. The detail in your explanations is beyond helpful and the way you teach is perfect for me

i swear so many people release videos about this and still leave me with so many questions. Everything you said was completely clear for me and now i know i'm actually doin pretty ok in my progress :)

Anne Hathaway really out here giving good singing advice

Literally hours of other tutorials on youtube < a few minutes of Aliki absolutely incredible, i feel like in some months or a year these will have tens of millions of views

Unique intro "Hello! Human Beings" never heard anyone say that. Thank you for the tutorial, but I didn't find my vocal fry ; (

I absolutely ADORE your tutorial videos. I have been a guitar player in metal for years, yet I sing and could never scream. This has legit made that a possibility for me and helped me realize it is not impossible. Super stoked over here!

I literally watched all of the RU-vid in search of screaming technics and you are the only one that explains it from the very beginning. Very detailed and easy to understand. Also, it's a simple pleasure to watch your tutorials - you're so joyfull and full of energy! Keep it up, great work!

You're the cutest teacher that i've ever seen , i completely got the lesson thanks💖💖💖 and by the way i thanks for the video

Love at first encounter. U are The best at this

you're amazing and this is been so very helpful!

you're fantastic thanks for the tutorials!

I love everything about this video

You are incredible visually and sonic

Watching this in October during covid lockdown but very good video! Subscribed

This along with softly yodeling down in pitch helps me as well

Well done Aliki!Great break down!👏😊

what a great intro to vocal fry. thanks!!

Hella loving your tuts!!!! i have years and years of doing weird noices but kinda seriously wana learn to use my voice properly, so im finding your content really enlightening XD

Really nice video. Thank you.

Great voice

"somewhere lower than thaaat" haha loved it

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! i really needed the tip on how to not sound breathy, i've been asthmatic all my life so my breath control is horrible but i'm slowly getting there! THIS IS PERFECT, short sweet and informative

How I envy youuuuu!! I sing screaming but sometimes is very easy and sometimes like I forget how to do it.... I'll try your method!

Thank you for this, you clearly have a huge knowledge about this!

That's a very interesting and useful tutorial, thank you. In my case I couldn't find the fry at first because I wasn't relaxed enough. So one of the tips may be to relax, maybe even try it lying in bed, that worked for me ;)

good stuff. thank you!

Thank you!

The best tutorial. I've finally understand it and found my vocal fry. Ps. Love the way u gesticulate it.

Officially a fan...

Thanks for the video :) very helpful!

Thanks for this tutorial!! Since i subscribed to your channel i was waiting for your tutorial on this subyect!!

You are awesome!

Hi Aliki! I love your classes. You are the best! I can make vocal fry (low and high notes) but it is difficult to add power or volume (make a good sound) The same happens with false chords. I can make the tibetan throat singing just for a while (it comes and goes haha) or when I try to use both effects at the same time. Another thing that happens to me, is that I get tired of "retaining" air 🤔 because as you say it is 1/3 air use. I'll be waiting for your next video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

You are so freaking fun!

Informative. Thank you. 🙂

Omggg thank you so muchhhh!! I can finally sing that hybrid rock song I love so much 😭✌🏻✨

My method of finding my vocal fry range was growing up in California

When I was a child (around 13-15) I used to make the "Samara noise" very easily,but now with 23 I can't anymore :') I sure that would be very helpful

I've never learnt vocal. Instead of doing my actual homework, I am here. Informative anyways!

I LOVE YOU

You da best!

The information that vocal fry uses less air is what did it for me. I fry higher in pitch than my lowest note but that's fine, practice time

Woot, nice little breakdown of the 4 registers, sure makes things seem a lot simpler than I've known it as (would love to see some tips on getting whistle down the line too btw lol). Keen for more on fry, it's definitely a weakness for me compared to false cord. Is it weird that I can keep that basic fry but make it higher without it breaking into that screamy noise you did? Am I actually changing the pitch or just getting the illusion from my mouth shape maybe lol hmm. I can get the start of the screamy noise tho, but I do find it harder depending on what I've been doing on a given day, and often don't like my tone. Also heaps keen to hear about how to get volume on this sound, I think I'm louder than I realise but I wanna make sure I'm doing things right! I've gotten to a happy place with my false cord and a lot of the sounds I can make with that, but some things are rather tricky in it, so I'd love to get the hang of fry to expand my vocal toolkit! Will be waiting eagerly for the next installment :D *One problem with this video tho* - the sound was reeeally quiet, had to turn my speakers up to max which is always mildly terrifying lol. Noticed the sound on the last video was a bit weird too but yeah this one was super soft. Are you able to turn it up a bit for the next one? I was very nervous my computer might blast me with some notification bleeping in the middle of trying to watch you hahahaha, I like loud noises but usually in a metal context not my computer trying to give me a heart attack context lol XD

I got an F1 thanks to your help

You are amazing!! I basically can't vocal fry yet...

Shes special 😍

Oh god I need to know how to take this into the higher registers

Hi Aliki, great video!! One thing I'm not sure about, what do you mean by breathy?

1:49 lmao im ✨magical✨

Such an amazing video!🙌 Really helps me understand what to do except for the little cracking of your voice when you get low, it's just not there for me. 😪

I was always able to get that sound, but when i try to do it on higher notes(basically on any note) i sing an octave lower. Do you have any idea how to sound raspy but without going an Octave lower?

I can't seem to find my vocal fry, im a beginner in vocals and generally singing so whenever i try to go lower i either end up with a whistle or throat bass

I followed you

You’re voice gets so deep!!! How did you practice that? Just low pitch vocal fry practices?

OMG, 4:20 makes me want to hide under the bed (which I can't, because that's where my chaos is hiding.) I've never heard something so much like a Grausedrude / Harpy without even a touch of special effects, it's bloody amazing. The whole video is interesting and clear instructions and fun to watch ... oh, and honestly: It's so nice to see a female youtuber who skips make-up and goes straight for info and instructions. (I know it's everybody's personal decision, but sometimes it feels like 20 minutes make-up are a must for youtubers with ovaries, and it's discouraging.)

Back at the beginning since I haven’t been able to practice 😭💔

Hey! Thanks for the tutorial! I’m able to Fry scream in the mornings when I’m just waking up and on the way to work I crush my fry screams. It was easy to find that “sweet spot” but after work or when I’m more awake, I feel like it’s really tough for me to do a good vocal fry and hit that sweet spot consistently. I’m I crazy or is there something to this? Any info or tips are appreciated! Thanks!

Hey, you make really great and useful content, thank you. I'd like to ask you if there are any possible ways to do fry and false cord screams quiet but at the same momet save the efficiency of practicing. I haven't began to try to do vocals yet, so I'm thinking of how not to disturb my family and neighbors and I also just don't like loud noises in inappropriate situations.

Greetings froomm Chilee 🇨🇱

Hey, very good videos! Try using some compressor or limiter on your recordings because your voice is way too quiet.

I finally managed to feel my vocal fry not in my throat, but like if it was coming from behind, like from my chest or my ears, I dont even know. I definetly feel my lungs working hard, but it feels soo much confortable, doesnt hurt or anything. And it sounds even lower and with more power. So I think I finally got it right... Right? D:

Thanks for your tutorial. Please tell, can Vocal Fry Tutorial improve any kind of voice disorders?

thanks for the videos I appreciate youy luv , umm can you teach me how to fry scream I will pay for private lessons

Hey, any tips for doing whistle tone (for guys)?

I've tried to go so low but it dont crack and didnt sound fry even a bit, but i will try it again

I used to be able to do vocal fry until i found a youtube video of subharmonic register and start practicing it. And now i forgot how to do vocal fry. And when i am trying to do vocal fry, i ended up doing subharmonic.

I dont get breathy or anything and i sound good at first but when i try to actually add the scream like effect it doesnt really work if that makes any sense at all and idk why

I am kind of curious to know about your thoughts of young people that utilizes vocal fry on casual conversations? Particularly young people(male/females).

does fry come from true vocal cords or false? or it's always a mix between them? does it depend on the pitch of fry? when I'm playing with fry I notice that lowest fry is... Well, lower, physically. whilst higher fry (say, you're coming into fry from falsetto), is a lot higher, and physically feels like somewhere in soft palate. are they both safe for frequent usage? are they fundamentally different? is there any lesson on anatomical aspects of fry and other distortion types? thanks

I have what people would say is a deep voice, at least for my country. Really struggling to find the fry. I'll give your method a try later (I can't make much noise right now) and hopefully I'll finally be able to find it. Almost feels like my throat is coated to prevent it from happening - it's low but quite broken some higher sounds pop in and out sometimes too. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, just can't seem to get that stable croakiness in demo videos. Any other tips or tricks for someone who is still struggling to find it? Are some people just unable to fry?

I feel like i have replaced my vocal fry with subharmonics. Everytime i slide down there is a small point where its fry but a bit lower its turning into subharmonics. And i normally cant switch to fry its just already turning into subs

When we vocal fry, do we actually engage false chords?

μπορεις να κανεις βιντεο για το πως να κανεις fry screams

Please make a whistle register tutorial ....

🤔 I ended up here but actually not sure if fry is the technique I want to learn, I was interested about distorted voices between singing and screaming (like tool, linkin park, stoned jesus) for a stoner rock style and I heard that kind of voice is achieved mixing fry scream with regular singing but this seems to be completely different. Yet interesting.

Can't do it.

she has such cynical enthusiasm. Can't put my finger on it. Not complaining neither.

Hey great video. I have a question about a certain bands vocal style, and was wondering if it was vocal fry? I'll respond to this comment with the song if you can help

Seems like I can vocal fry but only when doing reverse breathing basically pulling air in. Am I cheating?

I did this to scare my friends at primary. Never knew it was used for singing

Can anybody just go and listen to a song called "Crawl Through Knives" for In Flames, and tell me what type of scream did Andres Fridèn(In flames' singer) used to do in that peroid of time, i'd be so thankful.

I'm not really sure,but I think that a may have a gap in my vocal chords,I can't do this fry sound,well just a liiiiittle bit and then.. nothing,I don't know if I'm doing something wrong,if I'm not in total control of my breath,but I can't do this,and when I do,starts to hurt a little

Me sings extremely low bass* keeps going lower* discovers he can sing lower than what was known before. No vocal fry but I somehow increased my low end range even more :)

4:10

Traduction en français

I don’t understand how to make it less breathy :/ I get fry but underneath I can hear lots of air Going higher gives me the same problem

i cant find register

How do you other viewers react to people who find fry to be annoying?

Hey I have a question, sometimes I can do "decent" fry screams and all of a sudden it doesn't work any more, yet there is no pain or anything there is just no sound comming out of my mouth any more .... any idea what that could be?

How about subharmonics and overtones?

Not totally clear on this. That creaky fry sound, I can create that on much higher pitches. It's not limited to a low register... and as I type it seems you can too. So how is it a register rather than a general voice quality ?

Am I going right? My larynx lifts up. Throat gets clinched.
