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.

I've got a qustion about UBW

Oh happy day, I just recieved my copy of RYV and UBW today. as of today i am forgeting anything i know about singing so that i will have a clean slate. hell man, if it doesn't work i can alway revert back to my old ways. Anyone doing the ubw the first exercise maximum breathing potential. when i slowly exhale, after bout 15 -20 seconds there is a point my hissing wants to stop( almost like a hic-cup, then i ease on thru. Sometime it will happen a 2 or 3 of time in cycle Is that a normal sensation or am I doing somthing wrong? also because i am trying to hold out longer i get a lil tension in my face. Good or no?

Re: I've got a qustion about UBW

IF you have tension in your face you are risking blowing your head right off your shoulders like a mad suicide bomber... relax your face:>)

Re: I've got a qustion about UBW

That is a normal sensation. Your stomach will begin to burn and it will feel very uncomfortable. Don't strain your face, keep relaxed and work on through the pain.
