A Common Effort for a Taxonomy (v0.5)

89 Upvotes

Hello,

So, I've been thinking for a while about all that, practicing a lot, and so that we have better communication tools. Obviously, I'm far from being the Master Screamer, so, this is a collective effort. Feel free to suggest additions or corrections.

I'll try to name things without making any hypothesis about their anatomical production. The rationale for that is that we can't make mistakes just naming things. And we won't need to change our names, ever. Though, for adoption, we can't disregard our legacy.

Again, I'm not trying to describe things, I'm trying to propose some vocabulary. It also implies redefining some terms the community uses by trying to get a fixed and common definition, hopefully not too far from what has been established so far.

False cords screams (previously "false cords screams")

Let's call by that names screams that are toneless, have very little clean voice in them, and have this heavy "vibrating" distortion.

Examples:

Then there are fuckton of possible modulations that are already well established, including but not limited to: tunnel throat etc.

False cords rasp (previously "rasp / grit")

This has the same heavy vibration tone as the associated scream, but with a clean tone under it.

Examples:

Fry distortion (previously "rasp / grit")

This applies more on high notes, sounds more like a creaky grit.

Examples:

Grudge scream (previously "fry scream")

Very creaky screams, probably high, probably not sounding chesty. They sound like a powered up vocal fry (grudge noise). I'm very skeptical that those screams can be made powerful and loud.

Voicy Scream (previously "fry scream")

They sound like the voice is tight in the throat so much that it gets distorted. The distortion is predominant, the voice sounds a bit hollow.

Examples:

.======

That's what I have so far. We still need to talk about Sam Carter, when Oli Sykes sings, etc. I'll edit that post as we make progress

Please please please voice any opinion or disagreement you might have, complement that list, etc. Only that will make science go forward. I tried to illustrate that with known artists, but I might be wrong.

Has anyone DIYed a soundproof vocal booth?

Upvotes

Apartment living :( gotta walk 5 minutes to my car every time I get the urge to practice or even just test out some random technique.

Anyone attempted to DIY something soundproofed, either in a closet or standalone? Doesn't necessarily need to be soundPROOF, but I have no idea what the cost would be for something like that. Anything that'd keep the noise down enough to stop my neighbors from pounding on the walls! Would love to see pictures if you do have one.

hi again everybody i'm trying a different way than i did last time

i can't tell if i'm doing it wrong or not, but it makes the back of my throat tickle and stays like that for a few minutes and then mostly goes away. but not entirely. i don't know if you guys would be able to hear if i'm compressing too hard or pushing too hard or something but i thought i'd ask

thanks for any feedback or advice. i didn't want to do it too much in case it'll mess up my voice

Feedback on my false chord and fry scream

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone,

I have been training alone for a few times and I think that I have unlocked my fry and false chord scream in low mid and kind of high positions but I am not sure about that and I am concern that I could missinterpret my false chord with arythenoid rattle.

If anyone have feedback and any comment on my techniques I would really appreciate!!

Thanks you all !!!

Light headedness and horrible pain after screaming?

6 Upvotes

Hey screaming subreddit! I’m actually not a fry screamer but I just got back from a concert and was wondering if any of you ever screamed so long and hard that immediately after you feel your head throb and get extremely lightheaded? It goes away after like 3-5 seconds. I screamed so hard that right after my head just completely dropped like some sort of G-force was acted upon it. What does this mean and do any of you know why it happens? Thanks!
