How to Scream like Chester Bennington EXPLANATION & FOLLOW ALONG TUTORIAL

(Re-upload with a longer and better false fold activation explanation)

Chester's fry scream is a combination of a thinned out chest voice (some call this chesty mix, some call this edge, some call this belting) creaking (some call this vocal fry or vocal fold distortion) with the vocal folds, compressing the larynx (pulling the false folds into the windstream) and letting the false folds vibrate and create distortion.

Try learning this scream not from the quiet vocal fry but from learning the compression and false fold distortion first. Then sing higher and higher with it, without going much louder. Choose very open vowels like EHHH while going higher. If you keep the level of compression high and just raise in pitch gradually your voice will try to break around either G4 (if you are a baritone) or C5 (if you are a tenor). Once your voice breaks up, just stay on the scream and get it to stabilize.

If your voice does not want to break up (creak, vocal fry) try going higher with the pitch into a territory that is outside of your range. If you are an experienced singer and you have trouble with this (like i have) try singing the high note, while having false fold distortion, but go quieter on it, without letting it slip into head voice.
