I have sorta gottin screaming but not to the point as where i can scream onstage. usually when i scream i am way too quiet than when i sing.. i need help w. that and i want to make sure im doin it the right and helalthy way! can some1 help with healthy screaming techniques? thanks

If your scream is quieter than singing then there's a very good chance you're doing it wrong and you'll damage your throat if you keep doing it that way. You're probably just forcing a great deal of air through a small space in your throat and scraping stuff in the back of your throat against other stuff to get a harsh sound.
There's certainly a healthy way to scream, but from my experience there isn't a healthy way to learn to scream, and it takes a lot of time and practise, just like anything else. It took me about a year to be able to comfortably scream/growl without needing to cave my throat in with warm-ups first. As far as technique goes, you just need to surround yourself with loud music and scream your lungs out until you can produce a sound that you like. You'll probably only be able to do it for a short while at first but with time it'll be easier and you'll be able to do it for longer, just like anything really.
As for holding screams for longer periods of time and things like that, any old vocal exercises will do. Have a read of some of the posts by myself and a couple of others on the last few pages of the Vocalists General Discussion Thread for some more tips.

Use your guts and diaphragm to power it. Not your throat. If your throat hurts, stop and try a different technique. It's hard to fully explain it but remember GUTS NOT THROAT. People who use their throat to scream are not doing themselves any favours XD

thanks

can you help me?im loosing my voice after 2-4 songs.It doesnt hurt at all.Im doing fry exhale,personally i think the problem is breathing...

Thanks

My problem is thatmy voice is so low and i want to scream also high. How can i practise it effectively?
And other problem is that when i scream, my breath runs out. That's because i have so much power in my voice. is there any solutions?
Thank you

I tried Melissa Crosses Death, but after 2-3 songs it's not as powerfull as in the beginning, it doesn't hurts just I lose the power of it, someone says you have to get used to it, it's like working out your muscles. I also still don't get it what is false cord screaming
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1-m_rDnTTE In this video the dude says it's just higher as death, also I don't know why but I can't do fry, it's not brazen enough and loud. Sorry for my english

Really? quieter than singing, the problem i had at my first gig was the screaming was too loud and noone could hear my singing, i kinda learnt with the zen of screaming 1 and 2 look that up the instructors good and she does stuff on singing as well

dude, what i do, since i have the same problem is instead of trying to screw around with it, (cos it doesnt hurt my throat at all, cos im awesome) i turn the mike up and sing right next to the mike. then when singing normally i stand back and try and get the same volume without having to adjust stuff.trust me, its much simplar.
