Hi guys! I need some help regarding some vocal technique. My voice has been a little scrappy and I have been a little sick but I also got a little scared since I never had any vocal lessons and I am a little afraid that my technique is not good or safe for my voice so I'm looking for some tips/corrections. Thank you in advance!

Not a professional and I'm also struggling with something similar. By any chance, are you straining your voice? Like your actual voice is amazing, I was literally blown away but you're right about it being a little...what's the word? I have no idea but I do know there are some singers who just have gravelly or husky voices in general.

Thank youuu aaaa! I don't feel any strain at all. I feel completely relaxed and it also feels like my support is working decently. I'm just a little scared because I haven't had my voice at 100% in like 1 and a half to 2 weeks and I needed to check the technique just to be sure I am not hurting myself. Also technique is pretty important for me now because I'm learning screaming and its a little tough so I wanted to clean up my technique before getting into extreme vocals.

Oh okay, it seems like your control is good and they were one or two tiny moments where you were a bit off but you can always brush up on that. What's making screaming so hard for you right now? Sometimes talking out about what you're struggling with helps you to realise the problem and come to a solution.

Soo. Firstly is inconsistency. I have some videos of me hitting some REALLY nice sounding fry screams AND false cord screams but sometimes and especially lately I just can't find the right amount of distortion. Also they still don't feel "natural" and completely relaxed yet so I'm not sure I am doing them correctly

Can you send one if you want to so I can hear? I don't really listen to metal or anything but I think I get what you mean. when you did your nice sounding fry and false cord screams did you notice anything different compared to now? Maybe how tight or relaxed your throat was or where the sound was coming from? Or maybe if you were pushing more with your vocal cords or using less force?

Sure. This is one I thought was kinda decent but I'm really inconsistent. I don't think it sounds strained but I'm not sure.
Audio warning!
Fry screams are loud. The audio might be a little loud for this one

Oh wow, that's insanee!! And it sounded really good!! Don't worry it wasn't that loud and I had headphones on (I may have jumped a little though)
Can you do it consistently?

That's the thing. I can't. Somedays I sound like that and somedays I sound like a dying cat, almost nothing in between. I don't know what I'm doing xD
