About: SCREAM

Actors are taught from the beginning of their careers how to scream correctly, devoid of psychological attachment.

• A scream is a loud vocalization in which air is passed through the vocal folds with greater force than is used in regular or close-distance vocalization.
• A scream can be performed by any creature possessing lungs, including humans.
• Female monkeys scream during sex around 86% of times, encouraging partner performance.
• The Scream paintings by artist Edvard Munch show a figure with an agonized expression against a landscape of a tumultuous orange sky. In 2012 Sotheby’s sold one of the paintings for  $120 million at auction.
• Rock, punk rock and heavy metal musicians employ screaming as part of their delivery.
• Theme parks measure thrill-ride success by visitor screams.
