On a foggy Thursday morning, the author struggles to master the art of making cat sounds under the guidance of vocal coach Melissa Cross. Known for teaching celebrities how to scream effectively, Cross surprises the author with encouragement. With a career spanning over thirty years, her influence reaches various famed artists, but she never anticipated her rise as 'America's scream queen'. Her passion for music began early, driven to be an entertainer, she navigated the challenges of achieving her vocal aspirations, inspiring others along the way.
After a crippling moment of self-doubt, a ghoulish 'Meeeeeoaaauuuhhhhhhhh' slowly escapes my body. The terrible sound bewilders my actual cat, who stares at me from the couch in horror.
Cross, who's taught Hollywood celebrities and California metal bands to harness the power of screaming for the past three decades, it's music to her ears.
Melissa Cross has become an omnipresent yet invisible force in the entertainment world, but she never expected to be crowned America's scream queen.
I was a rock chick since I was 7 years old. I was obsessed - obsessed - with music.
