how singers like Dave Grohl, Dan Reynolds, and others “scream-sing” without instantly losing their voice or coughing up a storm?

Question

How can they sing like this and continue into the next song in their set? Is there a secret to this kind of singing where there voice doesn’t go out right away?

Answer 1

There’s a wrong way to sing in a gravel-voiced roar all night long–and a right way. My friend can do it with his band King Radio in Massachusetts. Believe it or not, he had operatic training before ending up a death-metal roarer. The secret apparently lies in what they teach you in voice-training school: you have to warm up first. Before going on stage you carefully and methodically practice a voice-warmup session, mostly vocalizing scales, then arpeggios: first quietly then working up to full power, but slowly. He said, “Otherwise I’d be bleeding from the throat in five minutes.”
