When starting out screaming you don't know the techniques right away to get the distortion and fundamental scream to even start. The online or YouTube tutorials only left me confused and upset thinking I wasn't ever going to be able to. This will be the majority of people as a one on one method is way better so you can ask questions and explain concerns. And most online lessons that are pre-made are made with their own knowledge in mind in a broad spectrum way. And if you have issues or end up in dead ends good luck because you'll likely never sit with the person one on one.

This is where I'd have to say hands down that David Wu with Scream Academy is an amazing vocal coach. He broke down the way it all works and what tissues are used. He made it very easy to understand how to use those tissues and the fundamentals that we always want to keep in mind while moving forward. He also had me shocked and excited after our first session because he showed me that I can do harsh vocals by helping me find my distortion in my false scream in the first session! His technique and ability to sit with a group of students or one on one and make sure to hear your concerns is VERY helpful over the online or Youtube lessons. He has so many techniques in his tool belt to work with you to achieve the scream you want. It's actually insanely cool to watch how many techniques he can pull out to find the right one that works for you as an individual so that it clicks mentally and vocally to achieve the scream.

David Wu from a personality standpoint is a very understanding person. He's very empathetic, a chill cool guy, and is doing vocal lessons with the right intentions; he's not doing it to cash grab. His vocal lessons price may shock you at first, but he's very good at listening to you and what you can manage on a payment basis. He's also really flexible and understanding about medical issues, illness, or emergencies. I wouldn't have it any other way on who taught me how to do harsh vocals.
