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: Me singing on YouTube

John King,

thank you for your respond.
I don't have good support even though i realize i need to better in that, for the voice to function properly and to get the flow going.
You might be correct, propably there is some mix between chest and head voice in the highest notes but I do push a lot chest to get it more full. I find it difficult to get a full-sounding tone in head, even though i can access that register quite easily, it's still difficult to sing in an ongoing process in it, if you know what i mean.

Regarding tounge placement, i'm not an expert and I don't know what the different schools say, but the best for me is to have it bended up a bit (back and up), all the time, like if you sing an "e", and go on that for the voice to place itself higher, as it is high you want to go, that's what you should aim for, 'cause the tone is produced from a high place and not a low.
I have done a lot of practise with swirling the tounge back and up in the mouth and start to tone things, I can get a lot of power that way through pushing the note with the tounge. Even though that's just practise for me, not something i would do when i record or if i'd sing live.

Re: Me singing on YouTube

I've done a new song (original) i sing it slow-paced and breathy all the way through except in the very end of it.

Does this singing "work"? Is it listenable?

LYRICS: "don't bother by the ghosts anymore anymore nono
i took time with you with you oh
now let us glare into that star for awhile mmoh woho
don't bother by these ghosts anymore anymore nonono nono
i took time with you mmhoho woho
now let us glare into that star a while oh"

Re: Me singing on YouTube

Hello again,
i've recently started working on a psychedelic pop-project with a producer.
This song might quailify to the project, what do you think of it? It's decent, but what I want input on what could be changed. I'm using just a pianoloop with one chord, so... :)
Please leave a comment!
