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.
Here what I had to say about it...
Hey Jaime,
Just a quick note to CONGRATULATE you on RYV Second Edition, it was well worth the time and effort you've obviously put into it!
The whole thing is absolutely fantastic and a great update on RYV.
I have just finished reading it for the first time and it seems to me that you've somehow managed to cover ALL the bases! I'm sure it's going to be a huge success for you and will garner much well-deserved recognition throughout the vocal community. VERY well done!!!
I'll work my way through the new book and your routines over the next few weeks (I already do the VSR routine regularly) and will let you know of my progress with RYV11 and the expanded information.
I'll be recommending RYV11 to every singer (and would-be singer) I know.
