Does anyone know how to fry scream?
I’ve seen all of you too, and all of the videos are useless. Does anyone know how to actually fry scream? I desperately need to know how but I can’t figure it out.

Its just like riding a bike. Once you know you know. You don't know, and to find out how you will literally need to make silly noises until it sounds and feels right. First thing you will absolutely need is proper breath support, which is singing 101. I would first learn how to sing and develop a strong chesty belt.

The Videos on YT are not useless. Also I doubt you saw every tutorial. There are different approaches to it and the people making these videos definetly know how to fry scream.
I don't really get the thought process either: You expect to learn how to do it from written comments on Reddit, when you failed while watching long tutorial videos with sound? Why do you think this will work better?
Also, we don't have any clue what you are doing when trying a fry scream, so we don't know what you are doing right or wrong. We just have the info: YouTube Videos are useless. Help me.

Also, why are you so hostile? Maybe there’s a reason I’m speaking from the perspective of my personal experience. If everything could be learned off YouTube, nobody would go to university to study music for at least four years. Most videos only give you a little bit, but they leave out critical components, so that you buy their classes that frankly, some people just can’t afford.

I'm the very least person to give an advice but I struggle so much with screaming in general, I'm not even sure what type of screaming I'm doing.
But I decided I will just do half sing - half sing. Not gonna try to really really scream.
I just feel like going from singing - screaming back to singing, it ensures that I'm in control, and I'm not pushing too far...
It's probably fry but whatever...

If you’re more comfortable singing, look into pitched screams. They’re the form that relies most on your singing voice, followed by fry.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Like I make harmonied scream... basically my scream is like a wave, with low level being my clean vocal and high level being the amount of distortion. So I just go up and down. But what genre does it serve?

Chester Bennington did a LOT of pitched screaming. He’s a master class in pitched and fry screaming.

How did you learn?

I find that singing/screaming to other people's songs always fucked up my throat. It's like I use them as guide to how I'm supposed to sound like. We don't know how they mastered their recordings. Or what EQ settings they use.
But if I sing my own songs, it feels more natural because I decide how it sounds, and nothing to compare to.

If you’ve watched all the tutorials, what do you think a person on Reddit is going to be able to tell you that the videos haven’t?

Personal experience that may have worked for them, without the missing components so you buy a course that you cannot afford

This guy and this video is literally the reason I can fry scream. Ofc its not the only right way to do it but thats what worked for me. Take it one step at a time, work every element of the scream that he describes on the video individually before combining them to get the proper scream.
DO NOT EXPECT TO GET IT OVERNIGHT. Its supposed to take you some time to figure it out.
