How does chester scream

What happened? Living Things made me think oh he can scream again but I was watching these new performances and ughh it has me shaking my head. I mostly noticed on faint and one step closer. On faint hes just going "you gunna listen to me like it or not right naaaah" and he doesn't even sound like he's screaming.

Don't get me wrong I think thats awesome to have the audience scream that part but at least scream the part before! And on One Step Closer again didnt even sound like screaming. I understand his voice has changed but dont give us false hope on tracks like Blackout yenno?

Hey, bright side of it is that his melodic singing has gotten absolutely beautiful. And for the "false hope" thing, if the band feels it fits the song, it'll be in the song. If screaming is needed, bring in the screaming. Joined: Aug 24, Messages: 18, Likes Received: Minus , Jun 19, It doesn't sound like he's screaming because he isn't.

He's reached a point where he doesn't have to scream to hit those notes anymore. They're too easy to hit. Why should he force himself to have a certain tone to his voice if he doesn't have to?

Although this may only be due to the fact that Faint is regularly at the front of the setlist these days, and Chester wants to preserve his voice for the remainder of the set. I've only ever found Faint appropriate as a main set closer or part of the encore. The fact that the screaming is almost always underwhelming now just frustrates me further.

And it is totally NOT effortless on that vid, so a source would really be nice. The last part is key. When you finally have distortion down, it should not hurt or fatigue the voice at all. The only place you should feel some fatigue is in the support muscles.

It took me almost a year to be able to consistently distort through the passaggio. Maybe if I had worked harder at it, there would've been less time but I wasn't in any hurry. Even now that I have it down, there are days when I can't really hold the air back correctly and I decide to just go back to clean singing. But on the days when it's working it's awesome.

I'll listen to recordings of myself and they sound like I'm tearing my throat apart, but really I feel no strain at all. Yeah he would probably sound better in my ears too if he were less nasal in the verses. But he's just totally epic in the chorus. Such an awesome sound.

If it didn't, it would hurt your throat :. Wow, he sounds odd, quite pitchy. I agree, for the win. I have always liked Chester's version but I feel Chris did a great job, too. I think you throw any song at Cornell and he's gonna kill it.

I remember back around xmas time I heard an Ave Maria cover he did But back to the video, his scream on "so insecure" looked and sounded a lot more "effortless" than Chester's.

Not knocking Chester, he sounded good too. Well the line is F 4 B4 A4 G 4 and Cornell is very good at that part of his range, most of Soundgarden's songs go even higher and in Audioslave he was banging that B4 all the time.

Trust me, I know Cool, you saw my YT stuff! Yeah, I suppose I may make some more, kinda concentrating on my voice for the time being Thanks dude, I used to get "Tommy Lee" all the time.

Now that I've got long hair and beard, it's more "hey, Jesus! You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. His tessitura is tenor, and he practically never uses a pure falsetto or a head voice. Bennington possessed a three octave tenor vocal range, beginning at the lowest note G2, and reaching its peak at the highest note G5.

His vocals showed tremendous durability for the entirety of his career. Originally Answered: What makes Chester Bennington so unique? To me, what makes Chester Bennington a unique vocalist is his impressive ability to not only sing melodically in pitch but also scream and sound like he is blood curdling from his throat at the same time, yet never losing his voice throughout the years.

His vocal range is just amazing.
