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: Alter bridge cover song:) (Review and critique please)

Jaime, I'd really like your take on this please! :D
Dude! I really really love the sound of your voice. Good job! Are you in a band? Maybe you and your friend should get serious about it. I'm really impressed. We have so much talent on this discussion board!

Re: Alter bridge cover song:) (Review and critique please)

Oh thanks so much! Not really, I just get together with these guys on and off and try out for gigs but have never officially joined a band yet.
I'm planning on getting involved in a few competitions next year as a group and maybe as a solo artist as well.

Cheers! :)

You could start a band rather than joining one already formed. That way you could steer the direction of the music. Your voice is quite good. I would come listen to your show! Competitions? I guess I don't understand that. Why not just do it to make awesome music that expresses who you are? Music is so subjective. I think competitions foster an environment where bands/singers are all flash and no smash.

Re: Alter bridge cover song:) (Review and critique please)

Yea, I'm actually working on that. It's hard to find people in this country who are willing to work towards the same goal, I mean it's good to have a few different influences here and there but there are times where it just doesn't sit right.

And thanks so much!:)
Well, in Sri Lanka it's really hard to build up a crowd for a rock show and even so for a band that is unknown. What I was thinking was asking the few people I know involved in well known bands if we(once I get a band together) can open for them and then slowly build up a rep. Which is why I was thinking of a show because it's the fastest way to accumulate a fan base :)

Goodluck. You have a really good voice. Keep it up!

Re: Alter bridge cover song:) (Review and critique please)

wow man awesome voice !!!

The guitars were a little out of tune
but the singing certainly made up for it.


You are doing mr kennedy justice :)

Re: Alter bridge cover song:) (Review and critique please)

Thanks!
yea, I just realized that for a different song we'd de-tuned the guitars so I sang this lower than I can/should have..

Ah, That's all I wanted to do :D

They don't just sound detuned. The are out of tune with themselves and each other. Even if you detune it should just sound lower, but in tune.

Re: Alter bridge cover song:) (Review and critique please)

Yea, Oh, I think I get what you're saying:)
I'll double check the next we make a video thanks :)

The only problem I have with it is that it takes away from your wonderful voice! I guess being a musician it really grates my ears when stuff is out of tune. LOL! I hope I can sing as well as you one day.

Re: Alter bridge cover song:) (Review and critique please)

Wow Thanks :D
It's so humbling to hear someone say that!
I bet you can sing much better than this though..
Jaime's a big help ;)
