Drop-In Extreme Vocal Classes
Tuesdays & Thursdays · July & August · 7:30–8:45 PM
at Pleasant Mountain Music
Unleash your inner monster, warrior, banshee—or all three.
Join us this summer for drop-in extreme vocal sessions taught by Kelsey Luo, our powerhouse extreme vocal coach. Whether you’re brand new to screaming or looking to sharpen your technique, this series is built for exploration, power, and serious fun.
🎤 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 – Deep, aggressive sounds made with the vestibular folds. Great for low growls and powerful distortion.
Examples: Chelsea Grin, Lorna Shore, Jinjer - Fry Screams – 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 – 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 – 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 – Screams that carry a specific note or pitch, combining distortion with melodic intention.
Examples: Spiritbox, Otep
🧠 Full-body approach:
We work with proper support, sustainable technique, and body engagement (yes, even the glutes). Safe, effective, and intense.
