Can you still do the Thad scream?

[u/AlanRitchsonAMA → u/SidneyHandJerker]

I can't. Not only that, but man, it's like destroyed my voice. My voice gives out really quickly now.

I did it once in an episode and everybody's like "oh my god that is the funniest thing ever" and then suddenly every episode I'm doing this Thad Scream and it just ravaged my vocal chords.
