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: Am I on the right track?

[/quote]I can't give you any advice on singing gritty. I can't do it properly without straining or hurting my throat. One of these rock godz will have to help you with that. LOL! I'm not saying that you are singing wrong. I'm just saying to be aware of it. It really sounds good and I LOVE this song. I first heard the Jeff Buckley version and didn't realize that he was doing a cover of the J.J. Cale version. J.J. Cale was doing a cover of the original Leonard Cohen version. You should check those out if you haven't. they are all beautiful and different.[/quote]

"Im just saying be aware of it" - Oh I get what you mean. I like Jeff Buckley's version because I find it edgier. Leonard Cohen's low register is awesome though. I covered Kate Voegele's version because shes an attractive lady ha ha

Every song on it is great. I've done a lot of things because of pretty ladies. :) I even got married to one.
