is this a legit head voice scream? by me

[alcheh]

*******Sorry I just noticed now that there is a separate thread for Vocal Critique. Is there a way where I can move my thread? THANKS!*

Hello! my name is Alcheh and I'm new to this community.

I've been singing for a while and I want you guys to diagnose my current singing ability.

This is a clip of me doing a scream:

Thanks!!!

I would say yes, lots of twang. The very onset when you registered the note was perhaps falsetto-ish for a brief second, e.g. vocal folds not as closed as they were once you got into the tone, IMO.

Hi! Welcome!

Can we hear more? :)

[DJDeth]

The scream sounds promising:) Let us hear a whole song!

[alcheh]

thanks guys!

matt- yes I kinda feel that one too. Is there a way on how I can immediately adduct the cords?

chele1000 and DJDeth- I added a new link above and as for the song request, I'll try to record one tomorrow.

-------I hope Robert Lunte will give me tips and criticism on this one too.

Ya, kinda short.. can we get more test sample?... however, it sounded like a twangy head tone... that is essentially the idea... the issue at stake here is not whether or not you can produce a heady scream... lots of people can do that, its not difficult. What is hard is learning to control your head tones, to be able to sing them on pitch, in the context of lyrics and melody and use them in an artful compositional way.

Its control and interpretation of phonations like this that you train for, not simply the ability to throw one out there, but this has promise. With a voice coach, you could learn to tame it.
