Scream like Corey Taylor from Slipknot (30 Second Voice Lesson)

In this quick tutorial, part of our original 30 Second Voice Lesson series, David breaks down how to get close to the sound heard on the early Slipknot records while maintaining healthy technique. You can find more from this series in our "CompBLEGHations" on our channel and on our Instagram as well as David's TikTok. ⚠️ Reminder that while these lessons are only 30 seconds long it may take much longer to put it into practice and that's okay!

This is the closest safe way to his old vocals. He used to yell and distort it with his throat, which is why the self titled and Iowa eras had such intense vocals.

[BobbyG]

You're 100% the best at teaching people how to scream.

[EnervatedSociety]

This basically what I go through when I tackle the bathroom in the morning.

Jay Weinberg is imitating Corey's vocals rn

Alternate title: actual footage of man being posessed

[bolezy]

That was the best description of anything without the use of words. 🤟

I watch hundreds of videos and they’re all so in depth and confusing and there’s so much technique that they try and teach and I’m already pretty good at singing and screaming but can’t do a Corey scream w/o pain lol….but you literally just taught me how in 30 secs👏🏽😭 thank you

[bw]

I've learning how to scream for 16 years now and this was quite informative.

[MinisterMindset]

Wtf was this amazingness! So fascinating seeing how you showed us the progression of how to articulate the proper voicing. Incredible! All the best from Indonesia.

[aristosagriopoulos]

Using your scream sounds so fckong good

[scottprince]

An actual vocal teacher.impressive as fuk

[omramoryth]

That's an incredible technique, loved seeing you perform it.

However, the best way to get close to Corey's scream is to abandon all technique and just scream 🤣 dude literally screamed his face off without knowing how to use fry/false or any other chord screaming.

[chaos]

You’re fkn awesome man. I’m actually making progress rather than treating it like an instrument I can’t be bothered practicing.

[creepymcpeepers]

I got to get on the vocal practice soon I’m still working on guitar and bass tone though but I think I got it figured out

[GtaGuey]

The first 5 seconds of every video...dude is a crazy person..at the end genuis 👏👏👏

[troycollard]

I've flirted with the concept of talking into false chords, but I can't bridge that gap the same way I do with fry screams, so if that's actually false chord then it's insane cos it's been applied pretty much the same way as fry

[Larryandhisbelts]

I'm glad you're teaching this. I screamed like Corey for years and though it sounded awesome, it tore my throat up.

[ИапГоревич]

Works for me super well. I really sound like Corey Taylor like this. Thank you!

[erock]

Bro wtf its 2am and I'm being loud as fuck trying this lmao

[engineeringuniverse]

The best vocal coach i ever see. Thank you bro
