I want to learn how to scream like Lacey in Flyleaf. Nothing like too hard core. Just enough to sing the whole song and be able to scream. Iv googled it and come up with nothing. Any tips?

The only thing I can tell you about screaming is practice makes perfect. Find a good place where you can be alone and sound as stupid and make as much noise as you want to, and practice until you get a good sound going.
It's important to take care of your voice: drink lots of water. I've even heard that the mint breath spray you can get from walmart keeps your voice from going out.
Keep practicing! [ Indome's advice column | Ask Indome A Question ]
It's more a matter of making those screaming sounds at a normal singing volume, rather than actually screaming. Notice that Flyleaf's singer doesn't actually get louder when she's singing the "screamo" parts - what she's screaming is virtually at the same level as what she sings. It's a lot like whispering, in a way. It's the microphone that amplifies the sound of her voice, making it sound a lot more brutal than it really is.
Try to emulate her screamo parts in a low voice & you'll find it's not really that hard, but it doesn't have that brutality to it. Then go pick up a microphone and crank up the volume and that scream you make under your breath can sound like an absolute roar.
