hey,

I'm really confused in how many different vocal programs are out there so I'm thinking about jaime's because of all the miracles that have come out of it. The only thing turning me away from his program is the classic rock style. I'm more into more modern music. I love the classics don't get me wrong but i want to learn how to sing really really high like the band circa survive. I just wanted to know if Jaime's program would help me achieve this type of range.

circa survives myspace (so you can get a listen of those vocals) www.myspace.com/circasurvive listen to act appalled

thanks so much

Well, as I recall Jaime doesn't go into it tons and tons, but he teaches you how to get into whistle register. Other than that, a big part of his program has to do with singing up comfortably into head voice with a big, full sound.

Now if you're looking for a pure pop sound, I think other programs might be better for you since full voice isn't usually used on the super high notes in pop music that I've noticed. I think Jaime suggested the Seth Riggs program to someone, once, for a pop sound.

Now on the other hand, I like to sing pop from time to time, and I still plan to use Jaime's program because I've found that it's quite natural for me to mix to a lighter more pop-styled sound anyways, so the full voice will be just another technique :).

I'd still suggest you get Jaime's book. The more tricks in your back, the more versatile your voice will become.

well this band isn't really pop at all and he's not in his whistle register, he's either got a strong falsetto or and high head voice im just wondering if jaime's program would teach me this type of singing

My program has got you covered. I'm listening to the track you mentioned right now. I don't know where you get I just teach classic rock, haha. I work with a lot of new bands, but I'm Zeppelinesque myself. I really like this guys voice and I'm gonna have to buy their CD now. He's singing in full voice by the way;) Technique is technique and this guy actually reminds me of the singers that I like, scream and tonality wise, like Lenny Wolf, or Miljenko Matijevic. This singer is along the lines of Mars Volta, and he doesn't sing really high, so if you want to hit those notes, we've got you covered, (and about an octave higher ;)

PS go to www.myspace.com/jaimevendera and watch my video. You'll see that I attack the notes the same way this guy does, but I'm probably a little fuller tone wise. Not that that matters, that's just our individual tonality.

Wow, i'm picking up your book tonight. Thank you so incredibly much.
