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.

How can I make my tone more pleasant (audio included)?

Hey there,
I've been working on my breathing for a while, and after learning how to use diaphragm properly, I managed to make great with my range (comparing to what I had previously). But now I'm not sure if I'm now happy with how it sounds.

Can you listen to this and tell me if this sounds pleasant or not. If not, how can I make my tone better?

Beware it's pretty loud, my voice is pretty loud by default, and if I try to make it less loud it will usually go to my throat, so I guess it has to be loud for this kind of song, at least for me :)

Thanks,

sounds fine...play with the closure of the mouth to get different tones

Re: How can I make my tone more pleasant (audio included)?

it sounds good dude...although u should reduce the volume of the file itself coz it comes off pretty loud...u should record this with some music in the background though...it could give a better picture..

at times I noticed it can be nasally, but i'm not putting it down...its just more of a quality of your voice man..

keep it up :)
