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.

Burbs and acid when locking down

Hey everybody,
So I have started the breathing workout and am currently moving through the first two weeks of book in the belly, locking the ribs and filling the vase before proceeding with the method. I'm getting stronger.
One thing I've noticed is that when I lock down to actually sing, or even just do the warm ups, like humming. I just start burping as the gas in my stomach is getting pushed out by what is seems to be my diaphragm? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Sorry if this is too obvious but avoid eating just before exercise.

Re: Burbs and acid when locking down

The point is I havent. I think is the Trail Mix stuff I've been eating. Which is abrasive anyways So I'm gonna stop eating it. I would eat it and 3 hours later is still giving me problems.

Re: Burbs and acid when locking down

You might be pushing too much. Too much is like not enough. Blow candles on a birthday cake. The sensation you feel is all you need as a general rule. The powerpush should feel comfortable and natural.

I think you nailed. Thank you.
