If I’m being honest with you, Chris: Out of all the vocal teachers on KZfaq, you are probably the only one whom I’ve listened to and actually improved my singing. I’d only expect this kind of information on a $30/month course, and you give it absolutely freely. I’ve been genuinely inspired and encouraged to practice everyday. I still thank God for the day I found your channel- thank u Chris, I won’t fail to acknowledge you when I become famous, I promise😊🙏🏻🥀

1:15 Chris: where is the SUUUUUUUUUUUN Captions: [Applause]

Fry screaming is a term I introduced in 2004. It is a non-periodic pulse register only like vocal fry in speech science because of its aperiodicity BUT VERY DIFFERENT because there is NO engagement of the aryepiglottic folds or false cords. Fry screaming is achieved ONLY by the engagement of the vocal ligament (mode 2) without the weight of additional muscular layers in the folds. The huge advantage of acquiring this coordination is the 5-10k hertz capability which is perceptualy much louder without the effort. I propose that this is because too much vocal fold mass/weight cannot pulse fast enough to create these higher partials. Another huge advantage to fry screaming is the seamless transition between pitch and noise. This is because everything occurs at the true fold source without constriction allowing more compelling resonating strategies. Constriction prevents resonance in the posterior vocal tract. The source of the noise is from the aryepiglottic folds colliding with the epiglottis- there is a big adjustment to remove and replace noise within a lyric. It is not incorrect if done with a stability between subglottal pressure and laryngeal position, but I have observed is def not sustainable for lighter voices. It's also harder to mix in a track without a ton of EQ. False cord screaming is a term I made up, which refers exclusively to constriction. There is also Hybrid, the term I use to describe when voice is making pitch in the anterior (front) portion of the folds mixed with fry in the posterior portion. Hybrid sounds like false cord but without the heavy lifting. Many artists have moved to this strategy by better coordination inspired by a need for heavy touring sustainability. The 4th strategy I labeled as "Death" because in the early millennium, bands tribalized sub genres of metal and that sound, comprising of blasts of air combined with a depressed laryngeal posture (ie Cookie Monster) Never meant to compartmentalize- I have observed that learning fry screaming and hybrid first will make the constriction strategies more sustainable. I love your vids- just thought I might clarify any confusion here🤘🏻

For some reason, every time I watch your videos, I think I've finally unlocked my screaming voice as I try...and just 10 mins later, its gone

I get SO much satisfaction when I hear you scream in your singing. I hope to learn to do this someday 🙌🏻

“Where is the sun?” I can’t see it either. There must be a *Shadow on the Sun.*

I've been trying this technique for 4 months now, and I've just learnt, right now in my room, how to make this sound efficient, thanks to this video! THANKS TO YOU! Now I need to practice more to make this work on various pitches and keeping it in control, but I'm not worried because I'm buying your course for this, definitely. Best voice teacher on KZfaq.

You’re the only KZfaq vocal coach that I’ve seen who actually helped me gain range and control. Like over an octave gained. I like digging into these type of lessons as well, you make a lot of sense dude. Wish I could afford the class right now, one day!

Listening to people like Chris and some other artists being honest about screaming and the growth and struggle is so reassuring...

I've always been able to do vocal fry. Did it when I was a kid to annoy my sister. Great stuff sir.

as a singer and voice teacher myself this is HANDS DOWN the best video I have seen about vocal fry and its relationship with fry screams. I have a neurological voice disorder called Spasmodic Dysphonia so for me my vocal fry is inaccessible when the "supraglottal squeeze" kicks in due to having the issue but on good days I can relax my voice down into the vocal fry register and can get a little fry scream going and it seems its getting more and more consistent as the days goes by. I have no issues with doing distortions, arynetoid distortions, even false folds screams but the fry scream always got me and I never saw any videos on KZfaq that personally helped me except your videos including this one so Thank you so much for putting out such great contents for all of us. Keep these amazing videos coming! bless you Chris! like 486 from me 🙏👍👍😀😀

14:25 Oh great mr. Magician Liepe, give me the great gift of divine vocals

Alternate Title: How to burp, but musically.

I learn false chord in one day with your tutorial now i able to do fry also

This is the first vocal coach video I have seen anywhere that accurately shows how sing or scream and how to transition. Subscribed instantly!

gosh very helpful but also the fact that this is just a full quarter of an hour of making the weirdest noises i love it so much

Theres no person that explains better than this guy, congrats dude, you are a pretty inteligent person cause you know how to explain well such a difficult topic

Excellent way of explaining these concepts!

This is THE video my 2019/2020 self needed. I needed to clear this whole thing up and you've allowed me to do that intellectually. Now, I gotta go upset my neighbors. ✌️

Chris, thank you SO MUCH for this !

Very solid stuff! Some of this I knew already, but you definitely clarified a few things. I know how to scream, but I'm not sure what technical category it fits under.

You're the best Chris!!!

This is my comment under another comment here. Figuring out that you should not be much louder than your speaking voice is another game changer. You can be louder sometims with some screams, but even the most brutal can be done quietly. It is how you don't screw up your voice long term. I was also getting major headaches from too much pressure from overprojecting. If anyone is struggling with high pitched scream sounds, like Black Metal specifically, it is done with the slightest pressure in comparison to the mid and low screams. I thought I could not do them since I could only do them quiet. And if anyone does not believe me they can go watch Randy from Lamb of God sing Omerta live. Pay attention to his speaking voice volume, and then his screams, especially the high ones. Done with very little pressure, and the mic and processing does the rest, even live audio, but especially the final product for an album.

Chris, you're probably hands-down the single best vocal coach on KZfaq. Just ONE of your videos took me from a pretty decent vocal range to breaking into the over two octave range. I love how much fun you seem to be having with all of it, too! May you get EVERY blessing you deserve, brother!

Whoa this video made so much sense and was actually helpful. Thank you!!!

Starting back gigging soon after nearly two a half years and this is great info to help with the more belty songs!

Great and explicit vídeo. Cheers

Brilliant lesson, thanks Chris. Always informative and always engaging.

Chris, idk how to thank you! in few minutes you are capable of teaching incredible stuff and I'm improving a lot seen your videos, ur great bro

I appreciate the free course helps me out alot thank you Chris.

Chris, your technique tips have given me back my confidence as a vocalist. I have stopped trying to progress for about six years due to frustration with mix/ belting. I have simply skipped over how to do it while practising the growling/ fry techniques you tought in other videos. It is so elating to finally get back into the gam eagain. I have missed this so much. I want to thank you for all of this. Once I am satisfied, I will probably record a video and send it your way. All the best mate.

Best vid I've seen on the subject 'til now. Thanks dude! Very insightful

It's the "redrum" sound! Thanks for all of help Chris. Best teacher out there!

You are so good in teaching this stuff 👍

thank you so much! after so many videos i referred to, this one explains very well that i finally hit the right one!

Thanks for the free exercises, it will help me a lot. I always watch your videos here on you tube. A Brazilian fan

Great research!

You’re just amazing, I’ve been watching your videos like for a year and half and my singing has improved so freaking much. I owe it all to you man!

It makes such a difference betwen your free videos and all the other content on youtube (which will lead us to paid courses). You inspire me and I've been practicing every day since I found your channel thanks to a friend of mine. Thank you, Chris. You are the best.

Brilliant work :O need to use it :D

ive been trying to figure out this method without strain on the voice for a while and this video just helped me solve the puzzle thanks chris you freakin rock man

I love these videos, thanks for putting them out there!

synchronicity! Was just thinking about this. Thank You Chris

it feels like we first imagine how it sound, and then our brain try to imitate . Going to that 7 quiet exercises , thanks man this video was fun!

Very cool!

This was so helpful, thanks Chris!

the most down to earth tutorials, thank you

You are a insanely good teacher

Thanks a lot Chris, i learned to manipulate my voice all by myself. Mainly by trying to impersonating Videogame characters and giving a pleasend experienece as a DnD DM. And your tutorials give me the same sensation as learning to manipulate my voice without any "goal". And now, that i am learning to sing/shout/growl/whatever i really benefit from your videos.

I am so glad I found this channel. Keep teaching Chris, you're an amazing teacher!!!

Found this extremely enlightening thanks so much!

One of the best explanations / exercises I've seen to explore this concept!

Great video, Chris. You cleared some stuff up for me. Very insightful.

This is the best explanation I've seen for fry screams. I could never get screams right with other videos, so I experimented a bit with the fry and learned the 'holding back halfway' thing. That seemed to be the biggest missing piece for me from other tutorials

Watching you sing, then watching you analyses your wave file has been vary helpful! It would be great if you made more videos using this format, thanks!!!

Man your videos are a real treat, checked your distortion video few days ago, I've been practising it ever since and it's so easy to follow and its great how you can divide everything into smaller steps, as a martial artist (amateur but still) I can tell you that that's the best way to teach our body, and our voice/vocal chords are no exception. Great job man!

So this video was a game changer for me. This is the missing link ive been looking for. Thanks

man i need to say your lessons are so great. increase my vocals and this vocal fry is something surreal , have help me too much... thank you to share this program with all of us

This guy is one of the best free coaches. Literally giving out million dollar information out. So we got to get him those views and get him his money people!

This is BY FAR the best video I've watched on this topic. The descriptions, demonstrations and break-downs were brilliant. Well done mate. Guess this is why I'm a student of this genius!

Hey was able to to it!

Thank you for teaching me

My dude! Oh yes, I'm here for the discourse as well as the psychoaudiology. :)

You are great men

I'm sooooo happy because he is the First guy who finally can explain me how screaming is goin! Now i'm motivated to learn it... thank you for your Videos, thry will change my live !

New subscriber here. Degree in classical guitar , part of the worship band at my church and have been teaching guitar for over 30 years. Love this channel I’m hoping to develop my voice to start singing in the worship band at my church

Chris, honestly you are the most consistent and best vocal coach/music channels on KZfaq, you’re so informed and helpful, such an underrated channel man, well done and keep it up!

It took me a long time to figure out fry screams even though I’ve been “false chord screaming” for around 10 years now. I finally figured out how to properly fry scream a few months ago by playing with the distortion in my head voice and then figuring out how to just eliminate the pitch.

And you managed to find where the sun hit..? Wonderful work, blessings.

Thank you man for sharing this. This is very very interesting for me. Those examples will help me more to make progress. Beautiful. 👍🙂🎶👌 I will watch the video several times to get all the juice...

The king of fry! 👑 Your tutorials have helped me a lot, thank you!

I've gotta say you nailed the pitch for "exercises that won't annoy your neighbors". Gotta go check that out now! :)

Thanks! You are great!

Dude, I keep repeating at 11:25 Your voice sounded absolutely fantastic there, I hear a little bit of all my favorite singers in it 🤘

This video answered questions I've had for literally 15 years. Thank you.

Hey Chris, I've really missed your covers and self analysis!

Excellent - Im still taking the class with chris - great great vocal artist - coach!!!

Hey Chris, just wanted to give your a big thanks for all your work! I am still miles apart from the vocals I wanna achieve one day, but that's on my part and partly due to the fact that a lot of the vocalists I like engage in unhealthy techniques; so that's that. Nonetheless, your videos brought me a bunch of steps closers to achieving that goal. Keep up the great work!

Thanks 🌹

My suggestion is to really get the feel of Fry Distortion first. Never push, you will hurt your vocals. Probably will need to cough after an irritation in the back of your throat, that shouldn't happen. Once you get that feel, you will have your quite fry scream, then you could get louder with your support. I've used multiple videos to help get the hang of it, definitely takes time. Chris Liepe, amazing job with what you do!

Fire video after fire video 👌🏻🔥

Tis is in the sky mate!!

Thank you!

I can't thank you enough. I'm still working on my distortion technique but that part was not adding up.

Thanks Chris.

great

"where is the sUUUUUUUUN" :D

You are the best

Holy shit major light bulb moment. Now I am starting to understand how singers like Chris Cornell add that raspy texture to their singing voice. Going to be practicing making all sorts of interesting noises. My poor neighbors. lol. Oh yeah big thank you for going the extra mile. It's connected other videos on this subject and now it's starting to make more sense as a whole.

Best way I can describe what you're talking about; sing a normal note and use the false chord rumble to ride the wave of sound. Treat it like a soft passenger. Like catching an egg in your hand. Finesse will keep you on top of the wave. I did it on accident when I was younger and I kept doing it and I can jump into a piercer any time I want no lead up.

I actually nodded along as if he was personally giving me a lesson

Stunning 🤙🏽 ♂amazing🙎🏽

Random thought... if a person from France uses vocal fry, would it be considered a French fry? 🤔

Man, I’ve been doing metal vocals for about 16 years, I do amazing false chords, but for all of these years I could never get the hang of fry screaming. For some reason I always tense up to much.

We need a comp of just all of the noises together so someone can make a sick tune with it

This man is a fkn genius....

Always great examples which leave room for combinations of other elements. 👍 Believe or not it helped me to understand some of classical heavy metal vocals through your videos even you show some other techniques. For a long period I didn't understand e.g. vocal fry and it can add original sound to heavy metal singing in order one to build hisown style. Could you do Blackie Lawless' vocal analysis, he has some raspy and unique vocals that would be hardly compared 'looks like'. Thank you! 🤘👍💥

I went from being able to do fry screams but since I got really good at false chords, (I don't get throat pain ever just a loss of breath), I can't get it down. Good thing I finished the video.

Chris! You gotta do a HOW TO SING LIKE JONATHAN DAVIS OF KORN!

I was trying to sing crawling and this is the perfect video
