Learning how to scream

Ok, so I want to join a death metal band and I learning how to growl and scream and like I practice but I'm not the best. When I wishper it I sound really good. But is it normal to be able to whisper well, like how do I turn that into a high pitch growl and scream sounding the same but higher voice. How long do you think it will take for me to sound legit?

    Go to myspace.com/falltoprey and listen to the sexyness of our screams, then practice to them.

    Check out some guides on youtube; whispering won't get you anywhere.
    What you need to do is first relax your throat and then just exhale as if you were sighing. You should hear a kinda low pitched sound deep down; try it again, except now try pushing the air out harder using your stomach. Shape your mouth as if there were an invisible tennis ball inside.
    Remember most of the sound of the growl should be coming from the air escaping , not your voice. Yeah kinda hard to explain on here :S should really watch a video on it.

    Seriously? A whisper can't be identified? How do you know that?

    Whispering can always sound better because it's not your voice. When you whisper your vocal chords don't move making it just air passing from your lungs and being formed into a noise by your mouth. That's why a whisper can't be identified forensically.
