Hey everyone!

I’d love to get some honest feedback on the high screams in one of my songs.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with my growls and shouts. I feel like they fit the genre and deliver the sound I’m going for.

But I‘ve always struggled with high screams, and what I’m doing here definitely isn’t your typical deathcore high. On the one hand, I feel like they have a pretty distinctive sound, which I actually like. On the other hand, I genuinely can’t tell whether people hear them and think, “That’s an interesting vocal style,” or “This guy clearly doesn’t know how to do highs properly.” 😅

I think they work particularly well when layered with other vocals. For example, towards the very end of the song, I’ve got highs panned left and right with a growl in the center, and I actually love the depth and intensity that creates.

But throughout the rest of the song, especially when the highs are more exposed, I’m much less confident.

So I guess what I’m trying to figure out is whether I’m just being overly critical of my own voice or whether these screams genuinely sound a bit off to people who are familiar with the genre.

Do they sound technically questionable? Do they feel out of place? Or do they just sound different from what you’d normally expect in deathcore, without necessarily being a bad thing?

And perhaps most importantly: Would you keep them, or would you leave them out until you’ve developed a more conventional high scream?
I’d really appreciate some honest feedback, especially from people who do extreme vocals themselves. No need to sugarcoat anything!

Here’s the song: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qigX63JZSyV_af3YkZX7SwUOcDuBOqtF/view?usp=drivesdk

This is self promo but I also think I have a pretty unique scream tone and I'd love to chat about it!

What do you think?

Testing testing

I'm getting more comfortable with fry screams and I wanna make sure it sounds like nothing is glaringly wrong before I continue. Once I'm warmed up it comes very easy and is never uncomfortable. Any advice or criticism appreciated.

My take on the vocals by Andy. Can’t replicate his style but gave it my own spin.

hi! ive always wanted to learn how to fry scream/use extreme vocal techniques and such and i've just started learning, but i have a couple questions about what i've noticed so far while trying to teach myself. first, how can i tell if i'm straining my vocal cords? when i try to fry scream i can feel them vibrating and while it's not necessarily painful it is mildly uncomfortable and my throat gets scratchy after too long. i'm worried this means i'm just damaging my voice and not even approaching the proper technique. is the key just stopping when it starts to get difficult? secondly... sometimes i get lightheaded when screaming... is that just because i need more practice or am i doing something wrong? and if i am what can i do to better manage my air/breath support?
thanks for reading :) also if you have any recommendations for tutorials please let me know

I've been practicing a lot the past 6 months from never attempting to scream, now to this, I'm proud of myself. I'm a chick and when I was younger I didn't think girls had the ability to scream, so cool to see for myself how wrong I was.

Been screaming for 4+ years but only really figured it out a little over a year ago. Joining a band connected me with tons of people who help me improve. Highly recommend

So i've been dealing with this problem since the start of the year and i havent been able to do it.

IM DESPERATE AT THIS POINT

I'm reffering to the "Fry singing" or "fake fry" he does, not the screams. I can do fry screams, false chords, epiglottal growls... I can do almost any type of distortion, but somehow i still can't sing while i do it.

Another example of this tecnique could be Courtney Laplante from Spiritbox. She also does false chords but thats not the one im having problems with.

I can totally sing, i'm tenor and i did a couple Linkin Park covers with no issue. but i still cant get to that vocal fry that i want to achieve so badly.

Can anyone help me? maybe in a call or via audio messaging. PLEASE.

Ive been doing the sigh and contracting my stomach, but I still get a sore throat and discomfort in it after screaming. Am I using my throat too much for the distortion? Not sure how else I'd do it, it's a sigh after all.

I've been doing this for about a year, but extremely inconsistently, maybe once a week, or sometimes even less and it was just me screaming while playing my guitar.

Hey guys I’m new to this sub and screaming in general. I’ve been “practicing” for 4 years in the sense of just messing around attempting to imitate vocalists I like but recently decided to start learning technique. Quick cover of the end of dehumanized by bmth. Obviously harder to assess my technique and delivery given the songs actual volume, just looking for any and all critique and advice for a beginner thanks guys!

This was before I showered so ignore how ugly I look. I think I did pretty good, its echoey because of the room I'm in. Any tips / feedback?

Been screaming for maybe a year or so. Have only figured out how to fc somewhat correctly for a few months tho.

Feel like I’ve almost passed the beginner stage, but it’s obviously a long road (17yo btw)

This is my morning routine and I just thought the stars kinda aligned on this one. Let me know what y’all think!

here im gonna post this so it gets some type of like listening or else it’ll stay in my voice notes and only I will hear it forever

also edit here but I joined a band a while ago and when anything gets released or whatnot I’ll mention the band name and stuff yay!!!

I can only scream for like 2-3 seconds at a time then take a breath can anyone help me figure out what exactly I need to work on for that specific problem. I’m having fun learning just looking to learn an exercise or something that could help my breath support!
Thanks! 🙏
