Rock stars, the younger generations heroes. The Beatles were the ultimate icon of those who go for Rock and Roll music. Until now, the new generation still knows of their songs, listen to their music and still follow the two living member’s lives. It was in the 60’s; then, 70’s, 80’s and until now, rock music is everywhere. Well, not everyone can appreciate these screaming and shouting that comes with the music.
I can still remember my Mom, shouting outside my room every time I play my favorite rock songs very loud. I was in high school. Oh, how glad she maybe felt when I’d gone to college, have finally gotten rid of her daughter and the house was quiet after years of ‘badly behaved’ kid!
But they didn’t know how difficult this kind of singing is! I was in a band in my high school days. I’m telling you, though it may sound noisy to some, but some would crave for it. And the process of this screaming is way more complicated than it sounds. You can’t just scream and shout, it has music behind it.
When I started in my high school rock band, I have to take lessons from a neighbor who was also once part of a Rock and Roll band. He educated me everything that he knows and I was the enthusiastic student, keen to everything, absorbing everything he taught me that whole summer.
And that is why I also want to share to you what I had learned.
It is very essential to be familiar with the proper techniques in able for you to learn scream singing. It should be properly observed that this type of singing is attained correctly. Scream singing has procedures that are very complicated and intricate because it needs screaming in a proper way. Experiment with your voice; know the highest note that you can belt, but don’t push yourself beyond the limit for it might get harmful for your voice. Do proper vocal warm-ups before singing.
Here are some tips to remember:
1. Because screaming is not an easy thing to do, you have to have lots and lots of patient with yourself. It might take you a couple of weeks before you can master it.
2. Maximize the air you are breathing. Don’t strain yourself but still, don’t deprive yourself of air!
3. Be hydrated while practicing or performing. Drinks lots of water and also avoid carbonated drinks.
4. Listening to death metal music can help you improve your singing. Merely listening to it will give you idea on how it’s done. But if you can go to a live death metal or Rock and Roll concert, do it. A first hand experience in scream singing is very helpful if you really want to learn.
5. Relax yourself, breath sensibly. You should enjoy yourself while singing.
6. Take good care of your voice. After you practice singing using scream singing, don’t drink cold drinks and also, avoid talking too much if you can feel that your voice is strained.
