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: High Note

MelanieJoy
Hey Ben, do you have a tuner that reads the notes on the screen? That's how I know what notes I'm singing. I mean it doesn't show the octave I'm in, but that's usually easy with my guitar or pitch wheel's help. I use a korg chromatic tuner for finding my notes.
I do have chromatic tuner, but never used it for singing. I would think that it wouldn't really accurately measure notes of the human voice due to the overtones and harmonics and slight pitch variations due to subtle vibrato and such. I can tell what octave I'm in because of where I feel the resonance. I think I'll have to give the guitar tuner thing a try. Thanks for the tip Melanie! :)

Thanks you all of you other cats for your info and listening to my stupid exercise.

Re: High Note

I always use my chromatic tuner with my voice. That's how I do my pitch matching. works great for me!

Stupid exercise? :P No exercise is stupid. :D
Now crazy, yes. But stupid no. ;)
