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.

Re: Falsetto slides - Whistle voice

Hi John,

There is whistle key and whistle techniques.

The key I believe is just the C6+ range (the same of when someone whistles). Sometimes the technique and physiology is also included.

A common whistle technique generally involves locking up in a tight zipper and it tends to sound kind of 'hooty'. It's easier than just going upwards. Many people can sing above C6 without a whistle technique and just by siren training.

I may be mistaken, but I think whistle techniques and registers can limit your tone and grit (or at least when I tried it).

======================

Anyways practice however you want, but try to go for quality over quantity. Breaks only get fixed with practice. Practice is only useful if you don't strain/injure and stay interested (not bored).

Hope that helps
