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: 36 gigs in decemeber.

Vince, sorry to get off topic here, but I meant to ask you personally in another bulletin what you thought of that beta87 as a LIVE mic, and not as a recording mic.

I think that by the way things were worded in my last bulletin, some people thought I was looking for a condensor mic for RECORDING. I should've stressed that I was inquiring about the beta87's LIVE capabilities.

Regardless, would you still choose the beta87 as your all-around top mic?

Re: 36 gigs in decemeber.

hi everyone

thanks for the vote of confidence jamie.

Regarding the microphone... Hi Brandon... i use an 87beta radio system for live gigs... i love it.
its a good all round microphone for all uses... I have tried all the other major brands etc etc.. if your using the cable version you will need a mixing desc with Phantom power to power up the microphone.. but i can honestly say you will notice a serious amount of differance between one of these mikes and a Shure SM58,
My advice would be....go to your nearest proffesional musical outlet and ask them to try out all the major brands of microphones in stock(SHURE,BEYER,AKG,SENHIESER).... when you find the one you like... go on ebay and buy one cheaper than the shop ! (dont tell pissed off guy in shop your intentions).
