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.
I just recently listened to his 1985's "rescue you".
WOW! He's so amazing. Exactly the kind of tone I'm looking for. His A4 sound sooooo coool and resonnant.
I'm a bass stuck at G4 but every time I listen to him sing it makes me want to persever.
Have you guys noticed that he wasn't so raspy and husky in the 70' and 80'. Where as in 1995's "nothings changed" he sounds grittier and husky.
I love his grit a lot but I'm wondering what happened to his voice. Did he get operated?
Or is it something he developed with time?
And an other thing i've noticed is that he did a lot of whistles in 1985 as opposed to nowadays.
I've read pro secrets of heavy rock singing and
he said:
"i'm an extremely loud singer". "I don't really have a falsetto".
Jaime is it true that some people don't have falsetto?
The only guy I know who don't seem to have one is my cousin because he smokes too much.
Oh boy! An interview with THE JLT!!!!
How lucky you are.
Well maybe you can ask him:
- How long did it took him to master his head voice?
I mean on every song I heard of him I'm always impressed with the way his A4 and B4 sound so effortless and full no matter if he is singing a ballad(clean voice) or a metal song(raspy voice).
- When will he release a Live DVD?
I wish to see "endlessly" played live with that whistle note at the end. 
Or a retrospective DVD like Deep purple's New live and rare with different lives and music videos.
- Does he still use Shure sm 57 microphones (like on his youtube videos) and why?
I know this question looks stupid but he may have a perticular reason for using them.
- The usuals: How long does he warm up? His routine? His break area in the 70' compared to now?
What's his concept about producing his grit, rasp tone? Does he feel his chords zipping on high notes? Did he ever had difficulty keeping a low larynx on high notes? How did he became so loud? Vocal injuries?
- Finally,
Will there be a Hughes and Turner project 3?
I love Joe Lynn Turner!! very soulful and powerful voice
