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.

Rare song solo

So me and my band has spent some time to save up money to record an album in our neighbor city Umeå in Sweden. I come from a small village of 5000 inhabitants called Robertsfors and we have played together for 6or7 years now. I started the project with a friend with a dream of going far. I gathered and trained passionate and dear friends which was prepared to share the same goal as I. We are having great fun and aiming for the world!

Since this is a great forum with many good people with lots of different expertise I'd like some opinions about my work. Please :) I've put in a great-fun-song solo in the middle!

I sing, play lead/solo guitar, write the songs and drew this CD cover. (first time linking so I don't know if you can see the picture or even hear the song).

Enjoy!

for you who doesn't care about the track but wanna hear when I begin to sing the songsolo it's around 2.25 m/ great fun!

Re: Rare song solo

Very good! I thought the instrumental break was a bit too long and could be cut down a bit. because your audience will replay the song 100 times, so don't worry about trying to give them too much, they will get it after 100 replays. Just my thought. Very good, you expressed concerns about being not ready to release, but I think you are there.

Re: Rare song solo

Warms my heart to hear! I've been working a lot with this one to get the right feeling.

I'll put it into my future portfolio!
