You should youtube or google it, find a place where they teach you with diagrams and pictures and stuff!.

basically when most people breathe in they are using the top of their lungs, but you want to gather air from the botom of your stomach, and then control the air flow with the diaphragm which is near that area or something like that!.

There are some nice tuts on youtube though!.
I can't find it anymore, but one guy says you should start small!. Apparently screaming is just a higher level of sighing!? So take a deep breath and sigh!. Then do it again, just harsher, so it's like a grunt!. Then a little bit harsher so it's like a growl, etc!. Work your way up to a low rumble/scream!. Once you have that, then raise the pitch so it sounds like a good scream!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They're right!. You know how you scream when you're scared!? Don't EVER do that!. That kind of screaming is coming from the throat, and you can permantly damage your vocal chords (lots of metal singers have had surgery after making that mistake)!. When you scream, it must always come from the diaphram, which is in the lower ribcage/abdomen area!. You can tell the difference because when you gather air for a scream, your chest should not rise!. You stomach will!. That's how you know it's coming from the diaphram!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
