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: Ian Gillan

Yeah, it does sound awesome. But how do you apply reinforce falsetto exactly? ..Maybe I've been doing it all along, and just don't know really what I'm doing..

Re: Ian Gillan

I've heard people rave about the Eeee scream exercise but I found how to do it on my own when I was a teenager. The way I do it is: Take a note that you can do in falsetto, add resonance, focusing it to a sharp point, and apply a lot of support. Do not blow excessive air through. It sounds different to the same note in full voice obviously. You can change how the note sounds by making it fuller or more falsetto-ish if you have enough control, the techniques are not dissimilar in terms of support etc.

Oh, not to forget, you can adjust your resonance space to make it sound the way you want. One example is, make your mouth wide, as when saying the e vowel, and the sound becomes rather piercing. You can add overtones that make it sound multitonal, which is quite a popular and impressive way to add grit-like characteristics, or you can add a vocal fry grit to sound Halford-ish.
