Hey, what is up? My name is Matt; I am going to teach you how to do inward screams.
First off, you might want to make sure that when you do screams, you drink plenty of water. Everybody always says, “Doing inward vocals is bad. You can hurt your voice” and crap like that. Do not listen to them. If you drink plenty of water during every song, if you are in a band, then you will be fine, I promise.
So, in order to do inward vocals, you need to be able to breathe. Everybody who is watching this video can do that, right? Right. So, when you start off, just do little exercises like this. Just breathe, alright? That is it. Once you got that—everybody should have that—just try and do a little voice while you are breathing. Just try and go (Demonstration). It is hard at first, just keep trying.
This may sound a little weird, but does anybody that has seen “Lord of the Rings”? That flying dragon? Yes, that voice is really some guy doing inward screams. He was just going (Screaming) to do that. Try to imitate that if you can. So, once you got that voice sound while you are inhaling (Demonstration), try and do it a little louder and breathe in more air. It will be like (Screaming).
Inward vocals is actually really good, if you are in—whether it is Death Metal, you can do it low (Demonstration), or scream and you can go (Screaming). You can isolate it down and be right there in the middle and just go (Screaming).
Some bands that use inward vocals are Tribune, Matt Easy uses only vocals, Atreyu, Inhale Exhale, Haste the Day, uses different types of screaming which I will get into later.
Basically, what you want to do is just keep doing those exercises, and once you get it that really good, it will be really useful. Again, like I said, for Death Metal scream or just Metal Core, anything like that. It will be like (Screaming). There you go.
Bands like Haste the Day and Children of Boredom, they are a few bands that use this technique, but I would like to call it “the crack” because of the crack in your voice sometimes. You can go (Demonstration), something like that. Like in Children of Boredom, (Demonstration) like that. It is hard to do. It is hard to explain that, but what you can try to do is let out a whole bunch of air, stick your tongue to the top of your mouth, so that air spreads around your tongue, and then you have to try and rumble your voice. Just make it rumble, like (Demonstration). It will be pretty good.
So, that is a decent explanation on how to do inward vocals and cracks. If you want me to make another video, I will try. I just did this because I kept on getting more messages on You Tube, saying, “How did you do that?” I guess, I can do it.
So, you got to try it. You are not going to get it the first time, I will guarantee you that. Alright, you are welcome.
