How can some singers continuously ‘scream’ without losing their voice?

I’m not usually someone that screams, but when I do I lose my voice pretty quickly. How can some singers do this for hours on end, every day?

technique and practice of course. the thing is they’re not all out screaming. they’re letting the microphone do a lot of the work. phiwong is wrong that ‘no can scream for more than a few minutes without incurring some damage’. look at the meshuggah vocalist for instance. they do longer shows and tours and he’s being doing it for decades and his style is all out intensity the whole time. People like the vocalists from Lorna Shore, Slaughter To Prevail show how easy it can seem with hard work and experience.

edit: or actually! an even better example is Courtney from Spiritbox who goes back and forth between intense screams and beautiful clean vocals in the same song so that’s proof your voice can be preserved to the max when you know what you’re doing. or another famous example is the Pisces video from Jinjer.
