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.

First Gig

Hey, guys! I just had my first gig (my cold is FINALLY gone), and it went awesome! We played an event called Hurricaid 2 (a fund-raiser for the victims of Hurricane Ike), and it was amazing! We played Slither by Velvet Revolver (I had learned how to correctly place my voice only two days earlier, so my tone sounded so different and not forced), and I could really feel the resonance in my head. I guess my problem was, especially on my recordings, that I was trapping the sound in my throat. But now that I have learned how to "free" my voice, I sound SO much better! Anyway, it was quite successful, we all recieved many compliments. I was moving around and everything on stage, it was so tight! Well, just wanted to share with someone! Thanks!
