Screaming/Growling help? (member, quote, artists, Bell)

uhm, your throat should not vibrate. You should have mostly chest resonance, for deeper growling, and a "buzzing" like feeling near the bridge of your nose, kinda close to your sinuses. Your best bet is to buy or download The Zen Of Screaming (the first one, the 2nd won't help without seeing the first one before hand.)

you do not want your pressure to come from your throat. It will wreck it, it will bleed and you will not scream for much longer than a few months.

put your hand on your lower abdomen, just below your belly button. Make a "sssssssss" sound and gradually get louder...you will have a feeling like you are pushing your abodmen into the floor. This is your diaphram. this is where the force in which your screams should come from NOT your throat, and not entirely your lungs.

NOW for the nose buzzing...say EEEENNNNN YYYYAAAAAAAAA EEEENNN YYYAAAAAA

Concetrate on holding the "N" longer and put your hand on your nose. If you are doing this right, you should feel a buzzing in your nose. This is where you want to image your sound is coming out of...I knwo impossible for it come out of there, but if you keep it up and buzzing around your nose and eyes, you will not use your throat.

Remember you will have your own sound, and should sound like you...yes you can learn your favorite artists techniques, but you will still sound like you.

Hope that helps.

Tips*** drink lots of fluids, don't eat spicy food, get the right amount of sleep....all of these things will make your voice weak.
