Through my training, I have discovered that with a low volume voice, I can do some pretty amazing (to me) stuff with my voice. I can dial in rasp, I have very wide vibrato, and can sing like a mofo.

My problem is, it doesn't sound POWERFUL enough to me. When I sing live, I push it more to get the "ROCK GOD SOUND." Does it just take time to get the "Little voice" to come out louder and more powerful? I'm afraid to use the quiet voice live because it's just not BIG enough yet.

Am I on the right track here?

Jim Gillette had me doing his exercises at the tiniest volume and purest tone possible back in 1992. That approach allows you to gain vocal cord control. After you master tyhat, you can start adding more weight. As far as live performing, get a good soundman, keep it light for a while and crank the volume. It doesn't matter if you sing soft or loud, it should ultimately be your choice.

Jaime isnt that kind of what the speech level singing stuff does as well??????

To a point yes. The ultimate goal of any singer should be to sing at any volume with any tonality on any note in their range, without straining. SLS maintains a soft approach but the act of singing at as soft and pure a tone as possible, ( as taught to me by Jim) is something different. The approach I mention is purely for developing muscle memory and vocal cord coordination and you most likely wouldn't go on stage and sing that way because the resonance is minimized.

Would doing your ryv and then taking some sls lessons because the instructor is in front of you be helpful or counter productive? I will not give up your exercises because I have seen huge improvements already :)
