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.

          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)
