There is a safe way to do screaming and different kinds of vocal distortion. Yes your larynx has to move up and down away from a balanced and neutral position but it can be done safely in a way that is not only healthy but enables sustainability and longevity and with no vocal damage at all if you use the proper technique.

I don’t teach the same technique Will is using I teach a completely different screaming technique but there is papers being written and published and a 3D laser printed version diagram of his vocal folds being printed out by The University Of Utah health department and Dr. Ingo Titze because of his ability do to different vocal styles with no vocal damage at all. They did a whole study on him and did Acoustic Analysis, Aerodynamic Tests, a Laryngoscopy, and EMG using the electronically charged throat needles, and a DMRI. This is only four different kinds of vocal distortion and it’s done at the highest level not only from a technique perspective but from someone who spends hours in the studio and tours almost one hundred shows a year doing it for over an hour every single night. It’s completely safe when done correctly. I’m so proud to finally have things like this being shown to a bigger audience so more people aren’t scared of it and think it’s going to damage their voice.

It is imperative that the right safety techniques are taught,for what may be called screaming ,which when properly taught it gives the right effect without”screaming” safety of the layrynx. !! Yes I do teach it.It does depend on the holistic makeup of the student though.Many dynamics to consider.Some wish to but never will.
