The difference between whispering and screaming

Vocal

This sample shows the difference between whispering, talking and screaming, using the same sentence.
Rather interesting is what happens to the screams, somehow multiphonics appear in the voice as the spectrum shifts to an octave higher than the talking version but also the spectrum gets much thicker.
Some harmonics seem inharmonic because the harmonics of some of the extra created tones do not seem to have anything to do with the fundamental.
Some other extra created tones have a lower fundamental then the original one, but the first few harmonics and the fundamental itself is actually inaudible.
