If anyone is having a hard time with this, I have tip that helped me start to make this sounds. Try singing the word "across" in your head voice and then add compression with your diaphram by by doing that "huh" sound he talked about in step 1. And then like he said, in the place where your uvula would bounce, your voice should start to break up a bit. Play around with the sensation till you feel all of the resonance focused there. At least thats how I found it but it still took me a long ass time. If it starts to hurt even a little bit, stop and try again the next day. Hope this can help someone.

"I think my uvula...fell off.
It's on the floor.
I think it rolled under the couch."

I'm a pretty decent singer/screamer but I've struggled for a long time to get that belt-scream. It's a very specific scream. Thank you for covering it!

To my friends...
Its actually easy to do but it will take time to do in my case it took 2 months. But trust me its all about dedication. You must do some things also like take care of your throat by not drinking cold water, alcohol (smoking is worst) try to quit or reduce em.
This guy told us the best method trust me. Keep practicing and thanks for reading this. ☮️ Live long metal 🤘

Took me about 2 years but I finally managed to get a perfect scream from watching this video. I know you're probably not going to see this comment but thank you so much for this video. This really helped

"Butthead suck!" I saw the clip! Pretty cool!

I remember when I first watched this video. I was not able to scream at all and I felt like I would never get it. This was around March 2018. I gave up screaming for a while until October 2018 when I was recording my first song and I was able to scream after a few more practices. Immediately after getting the right sensation for the scream, the sound of the scream got better and better the more I did it.


Also, I had the problem that I've seen a lot in the comments which is when you can't/won't practice because there are people in the same house. For me in this case it was family. I was able to squeeze enough time for practice and recording whenever my mom went out to the store or for appointments. My screams aren't really great but I am really happy with how they sound and am always seeing how I can make them better.
Here are a few tips that really helped me


-Have Confidence in your scream. Don't be afraid to do it. I always thought I would sound stupid but when you get the right sensation and go for it, you'll get it.
-Practice to music. This really helped me get by the embarrassment of shitty screams and I naturally started trying to emulate the screams of the artists I listened to.
-Drink water. Obviously
-Do NOT continue if it hurts your throat. This means that you are doing it wrong. It shouldn't hurt. You will be able to find the right sensation so try something else if it hurts.
-Don't give up. Don't think that you won't be able to get it. I always thought that for some reason, maybe my throat wasn't meant for screaming so I was really discouraged.

I am currently trying to learn Whistle screams like in DIR EN GREY or Silent Difference. They are really hard for me to get the hang of and I have even Less practice time because there is always someone home so I hardly ever get free time to practice but I still think I'll get them one day.
I'm gonna try to upload some screams if anyone is interested in hearing them.
