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.

hey anton!
wow I really am impressed man!!!
You sound great, beautifull tonality, amazing grid.
I am curious now :) how long have you been singing?
How hard have you worked on your voice?

by the way: I believe that an acoustic guitar version of this song would sound sweet :)


Wow, thanks a lot man!
This really boosted my self-esteem.

I've been singing for about 5 years more or less, with a few monthly breaks in between.

When I started out, I read parts of RYV, and started doing a lot of (boring) scales, both with 'lip-bubbles', humming and sing different vowels (like 'nei' 'no', 'na' and so on) on a daily basis.

That really kickstarted my singing-voice quality-wise.

Nowadays I rarely do any exercises. For me it semmed to be about building muscle memory through the scales, and just finding my own voice.

When I started writing my own songs it really helped me get the most out of my voice, as you tend to write melodies that suits you the best.

Ah, never thought about doing this song acoustic. I will definetly check it out man!

Thanks a lot for your replies, both of you!

I think your voice is good enough to be in a band that is recording and touring. I'm not just trying to stroke your ego. Good tone, dynamics, and power.
