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.

Pitch, Amongst other things

So I'm having two huge problems...I'm having difficulty with pitch and it really gets me down. I'm able to relax my throat, do the power push, get a lot of power beyond my voice but I just can't hit notes.
Which leads into my second problem...I have a (shitty) mic and I wanna make some recordings Jaime and the rest of the team can hear me, but all I can make are wav's and don't know where I can host them...I know SOMEONE will be able to help me with that.

Re: Pitch, Amongst other things

Buy an SM-58 through 8thstreetmusic.com. They have a discount coupon on the Bonuses. Also, but a Vocal Acoustic Monitor and save $10.00 buy going throuhg the BOnuses. Thay will help you monitor your pitch. Get a tuner while you are at 8th streetmusic and start sustaining notes as you adjust the tune:)
