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.

Fool-proof way to stay in tune?

Hey guys,

I just downloaded an app for Mac called Vocal Lab, which is one of those apps that shows you what you're singing in relation to the chromatic scale. As you sing it draws a line that's either above or below the target pitch.

Anyways, there's a feature on there called "Sound Back", which plays the pitch that you sing back to you. I thought it would be a good idea to plug a set of headphones in and hear this tone in my ears. Now when I sing I can hear the note in my ears from the computer mixing with the note that I'm producing.

If I sing out of tune, I can hear the notes beating, which alerts me to try to get back on the line and smooth out the sound.

I'm thinking this kind of practice will be very beneficial to singing in tune since I can both SEE and HEAR whether or not I'm singing in tune.

Thoughts?
