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: original melodies & pitch

Learn to play some scales on guitar, not singing exercises, but major and minor scales, pentatonic, blues, etc, and solfege them. I don´t have perfect pitch but most of the scales colors are in my head. Scat singing also works fine.

Re: original melodies & pitch

so when you guys just jam over your songs with your voice, then put up a tuner to check your pitch it's always perfectly green? This is what I'm asking. Your idea about practicing intervals sounds like it'll fix the problem thanks.

Er, if you're jamming melodies over songs you've already recorded parts for, of course you have a reference, you have the key of the song through the riffs, chords etc. You're working on intervals of that key.
this is what i'm saying, that my pitch won't be 100% jamming the "intervals" of that key. your recommendation of practicing intervals sounds pretty good, i'll work on that more
