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.

Am I Still In Falsetto?

http://www.zshare.net/audio/6089751a48eb6d/

Can you guys check the clip and see if I'm still in falsetto? On lower notes, I seem to be able to trascend but flip to my chest voice one octave lower. Is full voice suppose to be somewhere between the falsetto and the full chest one octave lower?

Re: Am I Still In Falsetto?

I think you got it. that sounded like full voice to me. Good job! The only thing is you didn't stay on the same note you went from an e flat to an f, but still you've got the idea. I'm not sure I get why you're having trouble on the lower notes...It seems to me if you can do it there, you can do it on lower notes too.
About chest voice and full voice: The higher you sing, the more the resonance shifts from chest to head, and at some point your chest voice becomes mid-voice then head voice all three voices can be sung in full voice though. For the purpose of the transcending tone exercise, the opposite of full voice is falsetto regardless of how high or low you are.

Hope this helps!

Jake,

You should probably get a tiner as you do these because you kept gradually raising the pitch as you transcended. You MUST stay on pitch with this exercise. If you would've stayed in tune, you might've made it all the way to full. You were very close but I could still hear so airiness to the tone which means less closure;) Keep at it, because you are getting closer:)
