Like I get the push more air through your mouth and get louder but my voice never breaks. I just get louder and louder and louder until I can’t get louder anymore.

One time a friend of mine was a half a block away in the wrong direction and I screamed their name and they jumped because they said it sounded like I was right behind them talking in my normal voice just very loudly.

But then I listen to singers and they get that raw raspy edge to their voice and my voice doesn’t do that.

How do you do that?

    I have had many singing lessons, they focused more on proper intonation and breath support, vibrato control, scale memorization, stuff like that.

    I even paid for a good chunk of my college by participating in choir. I’m a dramatic tenor and there’s a recording out there where we’re singing Leonard Cohen’s hallelujah and in a crowd of 80 singers I can be clearly heard over all of the other singers.

    Loud voice. No scream.

    I just want to know how to scream.

      So you would need metal singing lessons instead of traditional ones.

        Possibly. The thing is I’m not trying to sing like death metal or anything I just want to be able to put the occasional scream onto a song like Dave grohl does.

        He can transition from clear vocal to distorted vocal and back cleanly, and I would like to be able to replicate that for my own music.

      It’s deep down in the throat/belly not up near the mouth, from what little experience I’ve had (have managed it, but didn’t really learn)
