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: 30 Seconds To Mars

This appears to be a more 'unplugged/unmixed' performance:



To me it almost sounds like he's shouting--especially on the 'No, no, no!' because the grit and tone is kinda inconsistent. I mean is it just his style to sound like you're blowing out your voice?

Overall grit and scream emulation seem pretty straightforward. I think the real challenge is the slight twang and what not but I don't sing country (not yet anyways haha).

=============================

Pretty much all of the producers/engineers in modern-pop will tinker with your voice and autotune unless you fight them hard. I think they even do that to a lot of rock groups--and their instruments as well. It's expected now to basically 'audio Photoshop' consumer products.

Re: 30 Seconds To Mars

Definitely some vocal tuning live on that video.

People need to keep in mind tuning doesn't have to sound like TPain and everything nowadays has substantial tuning (usually with Melodyne due to its transparency). It's probably a big reason why anything you record doesn't sound close to recorded artists now. You still need to sing great for the end product to sound good with any tuning but it can give that extra sheen that people would be used to hearing since the late 90's.

Auto tuning?
