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.

Oiselle is taking over the board!

Hey friends, as you know I answer question but not a lot of them. This is because I am crazy busy with project and it is getting even crazier. I originally passed the board along to Brandon but he is taking off with his project as well and not so much into the coaching end of it. Oiselle is now the official moderator of this board. If anyone gets out of line, she WILL delete your comments. We plan to update the board sometime this year. By then I will have an "Ask Jaime" page and "Ask Oiselle" page. I will try to dedicate more time then. In my opinion, Oiselle has always been the perfect choice.She is a vocal coach herself, an author and always on this board. I am sorry I won't be on here much, but if it is something super important, you can always schedule a phone, private or internet lesson, or send general questions via email;)

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Congratulations Oiselle.

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Thank you guys and Jaime! I love this place that's why I'm always checking it out

I'm happy to help you with your board Jaime the same way you help me with my stuff. We make a good team I like your idea of the "Ask..." page! That will be very neat!

I'll be looking forward to your questions and comments.

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Cool!

My first question for our new Moderator is:

So how do you pronounce Oiselle?

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

It's like a combination of the words raw and zeal. "Raw-zeal" except with a W instead of an R.

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

It's a made-up French word It's pronounced Wazell (Wa as in wagon, elle as in bell). It's my high school nickname. A friend came up with this because he thought my twin sister and I were so tiny (we have always been very petite and delicate), the wind would take us away and we would fly like little mademoiselle birds Now you know everything. haha!

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Guess we're not gonna see any more cobb knobbler types around here then :)

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Yeah, he better watch out!

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Oiselle rocks!

Not only really know's her stuff, but is also a great communicator of this information, which as we all know, can be a challenge to wrap your noodle around, lol.

cheers,

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Thank you Paul! That was a very nice thing to say

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Does this promotion come with a pay raise? :)

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Haha, no it doesn't. What Jaime and I do for this board is out of go will only. Not everything is about money ;) I'm helping Jaime with the board because he is a wonderful friend and mentor. My way to say thank you!

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

hahah! I know. I was just kidding around with you guys! Oiselle, I have learned a LOT from reading your posts and replies on this board. I think that the people on this board are awesome for helping each other and me out so much. It's easy to lose confidence as a singer sometimes. The encouragement is awesome.

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Great!

Re: Oiselle is taking over the board!

Who is Brandon?
