Extreme Vocal Institute

Danny Case of From Ashes to New discusses their new record “Reflections”, the process of making the album, shares some personal stories connected to the tracks and dives into talking about the incredible range of vocals on the record on the Behine The Screams Podcast.

As vocalists, finding a balance between the technique and emotional delivery can be a challenge but when you hone in on that sweet spot where you can get the best of both it really pays off and you can really hear that in the vocal performance on “Reflections” with a lot of great variation from track to track.

Unanswered 😤 Su***de Silence

This was the first song I ever tried screaming to, and | learned how using it. It's been years since I jammed out vocals to this one, but l locked right in like it was yesterday. One take vocals, full mix from raw stems by me. Been enjoying looking back on what made me want to do this in the first place recently! ~ dB

Vocal coach David Benites dives into this topic in the lesson following our episode of Behind The Screams with Briton Bond of Wage War. This is just a short segment of the lesson, for the full explanation you’ll have to dive into the podcast!

Screaming chaos at Berklee College of Music 👹🤣 David surprised Berklee Metal Club with a clinic on extreme vocals a couple weeks ago and things got…crazy.

Getting a bunch of people to find fry scream all at the same time can be a challenge but this exercise helps to remove the anxiety, overthinking and aid in finding distortion without squeeze or tension and get some good laughs in as well.

David created this exercise while on tour in order to get a group of people warmed up at the same time and has since used it to help many aspiring vocalists find their fry screams for the first time.

Thanks to Sarah for coordinating this and congrats on graduating! 🎉
