Are you ready??
The RMS Screamers Competition starts NOW
"We envisioned an exciting opportunity for both RMS students and vocalists worldwide to evolve their craft — from lyric writing to recording — by working with original material across diverse styles from pop-rock to extreme metal. And so, The RMS Screamers Competition was born."
Competition that helps you grow and it's fun at the same time
This competition is designed to push you out of your comfort zone — especially when it comes to musical style. Maybe you're in a hard rock band but have always dreamed of trying your voice on a death metal track — we’ve got you covered.
If you're ready to grow, challenge yourself, and evolve as an artist, then you've come to the right place.
What can you win?
The Prize -
The winner will receive a 4-Pack Vocal Lesson bundle (4x 60 minutes sessions) with Søren — a prize worth
£200
How to Enter the Competition:
You can join the RMS Screamers Competition in one of two ways:
Method 1 – DIY Entry (£20):
Write your own lyrics, record your vocals, and mix them into the song yourself. This option is perfect for those who want full creative control and already have some mixing experience.
Method 2 – Assisted Entry (£40):
Includes a 30-minute mini vocal lesson with Søren and professional mixing of your vocals into the track. Ideal if you want some guidance or a polished final product.
You can find & purchase the entry “tickets” to the competition on the Subscription page.
How Judging Works:
When Søren reviews the entries, each song will receive a score from 0 to 10 microphones in each of the three categories:
Vocal Performance, Creativity, and Lyrics.
This judging process will be recorded and shared in a video, where Søren will go through each entry one by one — offering not only scores but also constructive feedback on what worked well and where there’s room for improvement, especially vocally.
When the Top 3 have been found, then it's all up to you! Vote for your favorite on our social media platforms!
Voting will be open for 24 hours.
Criteria for Reaching the Top 3:
Vocal Performance – The singing should align with the mood, emotion, and style of the song.
Creativity – Originality in both interpretation and artistic choices will be rewarded.
Lyrics – Lyrics must be original and must not contain political or religious content. Beyond that, you're free to go as dark, grotesque, or playful as you like — let your imagination run wild!
