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: READ INSIDE (=

If you are can hit the notes in falsetto, then you can hit it in full voice with some practice. The exercise that will get you there is transcending tone. It's really all in the book. Be careful not to sing too aggressively for too long without being able to do it properly. You could really hurt yourself. Singing in falsetto or not should be a sylistic choice instead of the only thing you can do in my opinion. There are pleanty of great singers that sing in falsetto though. I just think having options is a good thing. You can still sing pop and RnB. If you love it sing whatever you want. You shouldn't have to push hard or sing much louder to sing higher. If you are pushing hard then you are probably hurting yourself. Don't confuse adding vocal energy and focus with pushing. If the veins in your neck are popping out and/or you see/feel your larynx rising like when you swallow........that is a sign that you are not singing properly.
