Take lessons! Find a vocal coach in your area and take some lessons. If you don't learn proper technique you will damage your vocal chords permanently. If there aren't any teachers in your town, get an instructional DVD. It's not as good as a teacher, but will get you off into the right direction.

I read an article in a guitar magazine with the singer from Disturbed where he said he screams so hard it causes stomach acid to come up into his throat and burn his chords. He'll be lucky if he can talk when he's 50.
