I'm in a band and I've been appointed official screamer. I've read some articles on the "safe" way to do it, without damaging your vocal cords, but I've also read some that say there is no safe way. The majority of them have the same basic guidelines:
-If it hurts, your doing it wrong.
-Drink plenty of water/milk/orange juice.
-Don't scream with all your air.
-Scream nasally. Don't use your vocal cords.
-Use good diaphragm support.
I've been practicing for a while, and I know it takes a long time to get the sound you want. I've been doing what the articles say, but I still don't seem to be doing it right.
Is there really no safe way? Are there any tips or suggestions you would like to give? I appreciate your help!
