THE VOICE CONNECTION
SOUND OFF

Welcome to The Voice Connection Sound Off; a forum for users of books like Raise Your Voice, Melody to Madness, The Ultimate Breathing Workout, and Unleash Your Creative Mindset, as well as a place for Vendera Vocal Academy members to interact.

This message board was created so that singers could come together and "sound off" to help support each other during vocal development and the creative process of unleashing the creative spark that occurs when writing and producing music. Currently, myself and vocal coaches Ben Valen, Ray West, and Ryan Wall are here to respond periodicially to your questions, with new vocal coaches coming soon. But, feel free to help each other too:)

This board is here for you to ask questions about my and my fellow coach's books, videos, and MP3 programs, as well as offer others help with our vocal techniques. You may also post videos of yourself and your band to share your music and ask for critiques.

Please refrain from negative comments, profanities, spamming, and inappropriate criticisms of vocal methodologies, vocal coaches, and singers. All negative posts will be deleted and subject to banning without question. I will not respond to negative posts, because, as Mark Twain once said, “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” With that said, positive criticism is welcome because that is how you'll grow as a singer during the training process.

New song, comments please?
You can find it here. It's called The Enchanted Mountains of Victory, from our band, the Knights of Steel and Thunder. I wrote the (ultra-cheesy) lyrics for that. *VERY* rushed recording, without the lead guitarist (all guitars were played by the rhythm guitarist)...

Rumours about a C6 ?
Hi, there are some rumours that you can sing up to C6 in full voice? To me, it sounds very strange, as if you were some castrati or something!!! I personally can not imagine it (C6) in that case, being sung in the "full voice", the full voice resonance you teach i...

Just for the fun of it, I decided to sell one of the 37 glasses that I have exploded by voice alone, on eBay. I just wanted to see if anyone thought it was interesting, (maybe to lick my wounds after the turndown from Guinness) Ha-ha. So if anyone wants to see a pict...

Ignore the name :D
So when are you going to release your next book? Any special early October release? Also, does existing members have access to new content from the new book or are we split apart? Will the first book become unsupported?

Jaime's mixed voice:
I'm curious to your own singing technique (although you might teach a different technique in your book). When singing in mixed and headvoice, do you too stick to SLS or you don't care? If you do stick to SLS, that means you would minimize all vocal weight as m...
