Hello everyone this is Endo, and today I’m going to teach you how to get yourself on the path of Fry Screaming, guaranteed. If I don’t, comment down below and I’ll answer any questions you might have. 

The fry scream was popularized to the internet by Melissa Cross but the way she screams is not practical, it can’t be projected and sounds like straight up dookie.Her warm-ups are phenomenal but despite being a professional vocal coach, she is misguided. 

Before we get started, 1. Drink water. Room temperature. You’ve heard it from a million other videos but you have to stay lubed up if you want to scream happily. Just like in the bedroom. 

I’ll now show you the versatility of the fry scream 

Mid

Low 

Tunnel throat

Pig squeal 

High 

Shout 

These various sounds and how to get them will be in an upcoming video if you guys like this one but for now we’re going to work on the easiest, mids and highs. 

Despite my speaking voice, my singing range is baritone, you will likely not sound like me when trying this out, as a matter of fact you won’t sound exactly like anyone. There are so many factors that affect your screams, the length of your vocal cords, the size of your mouth and resonant spaces, sinus cavities, soft palate, and other areas of your vocal tract. 

Here are my most tried and tested ways of learning how to fry scream: 

First take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth

Next, do it again but clench your stomach as you breathe out as if you were about to be punched in the gut by mike tyson on steroids .

This can also be achieved by stopping a cough like so (perform cough stop) 

What this is doing is closing your vocal cords and stopping the breath from passing through it, Once you are in the stopped vocal cord position, start pushing air through these closed vocal folds as if you were tensing to take the most massive Russia sized dump. Make sure to keep your mouth and face relaxed otherwise you will tense too much and give yourself a headache. You want the muscles activated, not stressed. 

You should feel a vibration, a gravely sound, and likely a bit of your voice. This is good. 

You may feel a tingly or itchy sensation because your vocal cords are being stimulated in a way that they haven’t ever before. Just like your mom in the back room of a male stripper lounge. 

This is the very basic sound of a fry scream. My application of them are mostly for pig squeals, mids, and shouted mids because I think that my personal lows and highs with them suck harder than the time you tried to make love to your father’s shop vac.

Once you have the basic sound, move your voice up and down as if you were singing, open your mouth wider and smaller, experiment with tongue position, and make sure you take a break if anything starts to hurt or you feel like your vocal cords are tired. 

Cheers guys, this was Endo, and as always

How To False Cord Scream Guaranteed!  A false chord scream… One of the most prolific screams in death metal, death core, metalcore, and many other genres. It is the low, often gurgly type of scream and is based, as its name suggests, on the false cords or vestibular folds that sit on top of your regular vocal cords. Step 1, just like all the other videos, drink some water. Lubricate your throat because this is one of the more difficult screams on your throat, it shouldn’t hurt, but it might wear your voice out quick if you’re not careful. Let’s explore a few ways to get you on the path of a false cord scream. Relax first, hum a song with your eyes closed and completely relaxing your face. Both Singing and screaming benefit from the relaxation of most parts of the body and activating portions of your body intentionally in isolation, such as the diaphragm and the soft palate. Now that you’ve done that, it’s time for the technique. The first one we’re going to try is the heavy ass sigh. So get this, you’re on the toilet, tensing your stomach to take a fat dump, you get a phonecall from the bank telling you that they just cancelled your credit card because you’re bad at paying things. You’re probably a musician and don’t make any money just like me. (subscribe to my patreon to change that). What sound are you probably going to make? FUCK. but that’s not what we’re looking for unless you’re into deathgrips. We want that “tired of life please end me” sigh. You should get a similar sound. That slow rattling is your false cords vibrating, congratulations. You just used your false cords. All that is left to do is support it with breath and you will have a basic false cord mid scream. For lows, you just need to make your mouth a butthole. For gutturals, play with the position of your tongue. For highs, there are two types but as with other screams, the position of your mouth is important, open your mouth wide and you will get a not very high high scream. I will teach you a way of getting it much higher in a later video.If you’re still with me here and you haven’t gotten the sound down quite yet, try this one. It is substantially more dangerous so be careful and if it hurts, don’t do it again. Try to bark like a big ass dog. Not a chihuahua but like, an irish wolfhound or some shit. This sound will also activate your false cords. Again, once you have that distortion, you should be able to add breath support through your diaphragm and drag out the sound for a basic false cord scream. There are more advanced techniques to tighten and manipulate the scream so let me know in the comments down below if that is something you would be interested in.

TRANSCRIPT: 

So, you want to scream while you sing? Like at the same time? 

Well, first you should watch my previous video on fry screaming so that this makes a little more sense. 

Tip one: WATER YOUR BODY, I DON’T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU DON’T LIKE WATER, SUCK IT UP LIKE YOUR DAD SUCKS UP ALCOHOL TO DEAL WITH YOUR MOM’S BULLSHIT

First off, this shouldn’t hurt, you’re not shredding your voice when you do this, it’s a controlled action and eventually will become a switch you can turn on and off for most notes in your middle range. Lower notes you may have to start dipping into false cord territory and higher notes as well because unfortunately, you can’t effectively put fry on top of falsetto. 

Straining is your enemy here so we’re going to start by doing a quick exercise to loosen up your vocal cords and all of your needed muscles for this. 

Start by humming your favourite song with your eyes closed, keeping your face completely neutral. You may hear some natural rasp in my voice, whether you have that or not, it’s the same. I unfortunately have some damage because of GERD which gives my higher notes a natural rasp. That can also be achieved by drinking and smoking but don’t do that. You don’t want to sound like that guy outside of the 7-11 asking for change, nor do you want to sound like the chronic chain smoker lunch lady. How ya doin, hun? 

So now, without dislocating your jaw, open your face as wide as it can go, it will look ridiculous, and then scrunch it up tight. Do it a few times to get your facial muscles relaxed. 

Now for the technique: basically you want to imitate a game show buzzer. If you can’t do that, take a note in the middle of your range as in the previous video and tighten your stomach muscles in the middle of the note. This should force more air out and while keeping your face relaxed, try to make a sound like you’re about to give birth to a shit the size of a blue whale. If you get this sound: you’re pushing a false cord scream into your nose, that’s not what you want. You want to feel the vibration in your throat and in your soft palate, it should feel a little like a sizzling frying pan. 

Once you have that sound, try lowering and heightening the note, it might sound ridiculous and the sound might break often but eventually your body will understand the position it needs to take to create the sound you want. 

In a more mind-based way you will be able to lessen the amount of fry or increase it to your liking. For the song you’re performing. 

Remember you will not sound like me or anyone else. You will sound like you. And you will suck in the beginning. I still suck but I make it work. This was Endo, crooked peace, mata ne,
