A Common Effort for a Taxonomy (v0.5)

Upvotes
Hello,
So, I've been thinking for a while about all that, practicing a lot, and so that we have better communication tools. Obviously, I'm far from being the Master Screamer, so, this is a collective effort. Feel free to suggest additions or corrections.
I'll try to name things without making any hypothesis about their anatomical production. The rationale for that is that we can't make mistakes just naming things. And we won't need to change our names, ever. Though, for adoption, we can't disregard our legacy.
Again, I'm not trying to describe things, I'm trying to propose some vocabulary. It also implies redefining some terms the community uses by trying to get a fixed and common definition, hopefully not too far from what has been established so far.
False cords screams (previously "false cords screams")
Let's call by that names screams that are toneless, have very little clean voice in them, and have this heavy "vibrating" distortion.
Examples:
Then there are fuckton of possible modulations that are already well established, including but not limited to: tunnel throat etc.
False cords rasp (previously "rasp / grit")
This has the same heavy vibration tone as the associated scream, but with a clean tone under it.
Examples:
Fry distortion (previously "rasp / grit")
This applies more on high notes, sounds more like a creaky grit.
Examples:
Grudge scream (previously "fry scream")
Very creaky screams, probably high, probably not sounding chesty. They sound like a powered up vocal fry (grudge noise). I'm very skeptical that those screams can be made powerful and loud.
Voicy Scream (previously "fry scream")
They sound like the voice is tight in the throat so much that it gets distorted. The distortion is predominant, the voice sounds a bit hollow.
Examples:
- Corey Beaulieu / old Matt Heafy (Trivium)
- Noah Sebastian (Bad Omens)
- Oli Sykes (Bring Me The Horizon)
.======
That's what I have so far. We still need to talk about Sam Carter, when Oli Sykes sings, etc. I'll edit that post as we make progress
Please please please voice any opinion or disagreement you might have, complement that list, etc. Only that will make science go forward. I tried to illustrate that with known artists, but I might be wrong.

Fry screaming thing

Does anyone know if there’s any special way to this kind of high but not high and sort of airy scream that people do because I can’t do it and I’m wondering if it’s technique or just a good fry scream voice (I can already scream). Some clear examples are Shawn Milke screaming in early apology, Shane Told in bleeds no more when he says “more”, “stone”, “else” etc at the end of some lines and the second dude that screams in Beautiful things are better left dead by aprils love affair when he says “please”. Hopefully people know what I’m talking about lol

Do you need to use head voice for high fry screams?

I am pretty sure I can do a basic fry scream, but it doesn't sound quite like those high black metal screams. I can't figure out how to make it higher, but I also can't use my head voice at all. So I wonder if I need to practice head voice to get such high vocals.

Idk I thought it was a funny idea to get people to stay for my insta video.
Not directly scream related BUT the technique I'm using here is a combination of my fry scream, sung voice, and a technique I borrow from my false chords where I use a lot of my chest and nose. I also do this to emulate the dude from Hot Mulligan, but my voice is higher than his so it turns out more like Dillinger Escape Plan (Calculating infinity era)
I'm high sorry for the tangent.

Any advice for a beginner (who's only been training for a few days) ?

I love to sing and I'm a huge metal fan, so 1+1=2...
I decided to teach myself (anyway, I’m French and I live in the countryside, it’s already hard enough to find someone with the same musical tastes as me, so a vocal coach for a girl who wants to sing metal… that’s mission impossible)
Anyway !
After spending a long time wandering around looking for advice online, I figured I might be able to find what I was looking for on YouTube. Luckily, I stumbled upon a rock/metal singer who makes lots of videos giving tips. After a few days of practicing based on what she says and doing the exercises, I feel like I’m managing to reproduce her examples pretty smoothly.
Except that while trying to film/record myself over two days, multiple times, so I could compare my progress later… I mostly noticed that I seem to be able to do nothing but a vaguely guttural, angry scream.
It’s complicated, I’m in no position to judge myself, which is why I’d like to find real people who know what they’re talking about and could give me feedback without making fun of me.
I love singing, and I’ve dreamed of being able to perform songs by my favorite bands ever since I was at least 14, but it’s so hard to find someone IRL who understands that...
I'm 22 years old, and I have to practice by myself in my kitchen, making me look like a crazy person to the neighbors, by the way.
But anyway...
I'm attaching a short video to this message that I made this morning, featuring a clip of my weird scream.
Thanks 🔥

Mouth shapes

Upvotes
How do I do mouth shapes and stuff? For context I do inhales cos I suck and I’m still learning exhales, but even though I know a few mouth shapes just by playing around and seeing a few videos, like basic pig squeals, toilet bowls, no one seems to go into detail on inhales at all, like I want to learn a lot of songs by the browning, but his inhales sound like exhales, and I don’t wanna hurt myself learning the high stuff, anyone have any idea what to do? I’ve looked so hard I can’t find anything
