How do I scream screamo?

Question

Hi, Im in a band (in the making) and I am the Guitarist/Lead Singer/Screamer.

Now here are my questions...

1. Since, im lead singer, should I scream? I mean, could is harshly effect my singing abilities?

2. I read alot of articles that when screaming, it should not hurt and if so you should stop, I can sing already, im practicing screaming, so when I scream I hit this point where I being to cough, it doesn't hurt, I just cough. Is this a normal, good or bad thing?

3. Any tips on screaming?

Thanks alot ;)

Answer 2

well if youre a lead singer, maybe your band should get another vocalist that does the screaming. oh and does your band have a myspace page? if so, request me so i can check your band out. =]
