๐ŸŒž SUMMER OF SCREAMS ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Drop-In Extreme Vocal Classes
Tuesdays & Thursdays ยท July & August ยท 7:30โ€“8:45 PM
at Pleasant Mountain Music

Unleash your inner monster, warrior, bansheeโ€”or all three.
Join us this summer for drop-in extreme vocal sessions taught by Kelsey Luo, our powerhouse extreme vocal coach. Whether youโ€™re brand new to screaming or looking to sharpen your technique, this series is built for exploration, power, and serious fun.

๐ŸŽค What to Expect:
Each class focuses on one or more styles of extreme vocals, depending on the interests of the group. Techniques we may explore include:

  • False Chord Screams โ€“ Deep, aggressive sounds made with the vestibular folds. Great for low growls and powerful distortion.
    Examples: Chelsea Grin, Lorna Shore, Jinjer
  • Fry Screams โ€“ High-intensity screams using minimal airflow and delicate cord compression. Useful for controlled high screams, whispery rasps, and emotional intensity.
    Examples: Jinger, Architects, Nekrogoblikon
  • Chest Fry Screams โ€“ A fuller, more grounded variant of fry screaming that brings the sound forward and down into the chest, with maximum resonance and presence.
    Examples: Knocked Loose, Whitechapel, Slipknot
  • Gravel Singing โ€“ Clean(ish) singing blended with distortion for a raspy, gritty texture. Often used in dynamic, melodic passages.
    Examples: Gojira, In This Moment, Foo Fighters
  • Pitched Screams โ€“ Screams that carry a specific note or pitch, combining distortion with melodic intention.
    Examples: Spiritbox, Otep

๐Ÿง  Full-body approach:
We work with proper support, sustainable technique, and body engagement (yes, even the glutes). Safe, effective, and intense.
