Learning to Scream

I'm learning to scream, y'all. :D I am using Michael Barnes' of RED technique, called vocal fry. I am taking it slow and not overdoing it so I won't mess up my voice. You use your diaphragm to push air. I'm just waiting until I am away from everyone to practice.

Video uploaded from the other day. First vocal session with my cousin. Follow me on Facebook.




My cousin and I are going over the single "Living in the Last Days." It is the title track of my upcoming EP. The guitars are recorded raw with no additional mixing or mastering at the moment. That job is for the studio.

We had literally just learned these lines I wrote. Just experimenting, so don't be harsh. We had a blast, in case you couldn't tell. ;) I am the one with the glasses.

If you are wondering what we are doing with our phones, we are reading the lyrics.

First vocal session

I had a really cool vocal session with my cousin yesterday before work. Initially, I was surprised his scream was not very loud. I thought there was more volume. But actually, you really don't need more volume with a microphone. :) Just turn it up like you would a guitar. I think his tonality is right. We just have a few things to work out. We only just started. This was just under two hours. This is a screenshot of a video that will be uploaded soon.
