I like that dying chicken sound;)

I think about this a lot in my apartment, too. Getting hung up on it really messes with your technique because you start bracing your voice in apprehension.

Something that helps me is practicing in my bathroom with the bathroom fan on. The fan doesn't stop any sound from crossing to the other room, but the white noise in the background makes you feel less self concious compared to a quite room.

Jaime, I just noticed the PTD-1 breathing trainer in your breathing workout book. That got me thinking, does that thing muffle your voice too? A mask like that that reduces vocal volume would be awesome for practicing at night.

Well this is a hardone, only sollution is not caring or trying to find a spot where noone can hear you:P

I trained distortions at my úniversity people though I was completly crazy haha
But i understand them i sounded(sounds)like im raping a bear.

One solution would be to train in your car. Or find some hours where people will probably not hear you.

I think you need to grow a thicker skin, that's the only thing that worked for me. I went through a phase of not practising because of other people being in the house and my voice went so downhill it wasn't even funny. Now I just scream my head off anyway.

I am kind of going through the same thing. I have had Jaime's book for a long time, but haven't put the time into getting my voice where I want it to be. I am a guitarist who sang mainly backup vocals, but now I want to get to the point where I can sing lead vocals on my own songs, so I am re reading RYV and actually working on my voice.

I feel weird practicing singing with my wife in the house because it is not in my comfort zone like the guitar is. I am going to throw caution to the wind and just practice, because otherwise I will never find time if I wait until no one else is home. I think a good way to think about it is that if we keep practicing then eventually the people listening to us will eventually tell us how much better it sounds.
