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.

New song, please comment

Hello,

me and a friend made new a song a couple of days ago,
i practised transcending tone when i was 16 years old. Now i haven't practised it for some years, but i'm planning to, again.

I've developed vocal nodules for oversinging, just so u know. I'm not sure it can be heard though.

Thank you! Please comment, is it good/bad, technique etc.

Re: New song, please comment

youve got a very personal tone and voice, you sound like an original.
i really like the dynamics of your voice and it's not wrong showing off. But i think you kindo overdid it in this song, almost every word sung was felt like a transending tone. This might be a stylistical choice and the way you wanna sing then im not in the way.
But as a listener it feels like you ask for a cookie but get a whole cake. :D anyways cool voice

and i though it was quite funny how you got into your song in the middle "it's a littlebit funny this feeling inside"

Re: New song, please comment

Thank you for your comment.
You are probably right, I tried maybe too much on this song.
I made a new song with a friend again, two days ago, and i try to go for higher notes. It's not perfect at all, but i think it's clean, and sometimes quite loud.

PLease, if you have any comments i'm happy.
