I'll give you some advice, instead:Don't try to emulate other people's vocal styles, you WILL fail. You sound like you, and not like anyone else, no matter how hard you try to cultivate that.Screaming properly is akin to singing in that all the volume comes from the diaphragm and NOT the throat.Quitting smoking will not help you. MAny of the best screamers are smokers.when you project your voice, imagine that you are literally hurling your voice at a specific spot on a wall  about twenty feet away at least. remember: force and volume from the diaphragm, not the throat.LEARN YOUR SCALES, AND DEVELOPE RYTHYM! not saying you don't have these things already, but a hell of alot of kids decide to be vocalists be cause they can't plat any other instruments and say to themselves: "screaming; how hard could it be?" Done properly, each scream will follow a pattern and notes are still being hit. I would suggest taking a few piano lessons like I did. (I play four instruments)Learn how to actually sing somewhat, it helps alot.All of this stuff has helped me greatly.</blockquote>
