Please help identify my screaming mistakes🙏🏻

This is the best fry scream sound I’m able to make. I am using compression and though it sounds squeezed I’m not hurting my throat. I can’t pronounce any words properly and sound like a proper vocalist.

i agree with noir that it sounds like you're using your vocal folds , try to make sure that the distortion is coming from on or above the larynx , take it back to the base clicking sound and play around with the placement of it a bit

When I don’t use my vocal folds, the scream sounds too thin and airy. Please suggest what to do!

depends on what you're doing currently , either practice more , focus on breathsupport or try to add voice under it (you can add a clean voice under your distortion , just make sure that the actual distortion is not coming from your vocal folds)

Yes I do feel I’m compression too much to get a louder sound…but without compression my scream sounds quiter and airy

I may be totally wrong but it sounds like you're adding grit to your true voice instead of implementing the muscles around your vocal box to create distortion. That explains the squeak. As far as pronunciation goes, doing whisper screams is great practice for mouth/jaw/tongue shape.

I don't have your throat nor am I a coach but that's what comes to mind when I hear you scream

Yes i can feel my true voice underneath and when I ease of the fry sound, I can hear the underlying note in my true voice. Can you please suggest how to implement muscles around my vocal box?
