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.

Re: Please help me to get started!

Jaime yes indeed :) I'll keep reading and studying but I want to get started with the practice too.

Re: Please help me to get started!

Hey gotta come back with two questions:

I don't know if it's just me, but transcending tone is very much easier in the high tenor range (F4-E5 or something like that) and the low notes below that are harder and crack more easily. Is this normal / typical? It doesn't bother me though cause I'm very excited that my high register is improving so fast!

And how long time should I spend with one exercise? I feel like I tend to get through with them rather quickly.

Re: Please help me to get started!

Opa, you are correct, TT exercises are much easier up high, because the cords are shorter and closer together. That's why you also do them low. Build up solidarity in your lower notes and the higher ones will be even easier;)
