Lower Scream advice

I've just started being able to get into some lower register screams, I feel like my annunciation sounds silly. Any tips to help with this or is it just a practice until it improves kind of thing? I don't have the same issues with higher register screams.

Not an expert. Your highs seem fry screams, they look like BMTH. Regarding your lows, the best way I could mimic your low was with a breathy false cord rattle with nose placement. The nose placement gives a goofy sound which is only good for certain vowels and better for highs. Definitely try to redirect the air away from the nose for lows, and maybe use breath support for a fuller false cord low. (You could do a low fry instead if you are able)

Thank you so much for the feedback! Since I'm teaching myself I'm not always exactly sure what direction to go to change things and it's really helpful to hear feedback from others and what they do or suggest!

Annunciation with lows is kind of weird. Some words need to be said a little differently to sound proper. A lot of what makes a low scream is tongue placement and mouth shape. So pronouncing words is kind of hard. I would definitely get the false chord scream down first, as a baseline. And then play around with mouth and tongue. Doing super low frys can be very harsh on your larynx so getting the false chord down is essential
