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: Nice day! Please, come in :)

Oh, really thanks for that, I was so focused on song and forgot to create a proper link :)

From the day I posted this, I listened to my voice carefully and found out some inconsistency in my pitch(now working on it).
Also, it seems like I am pushing too much air out to sing, can someone confirm this?

As before, I am wide open to ALL comments regarding my voice, tone quality, everything you think is valuable to alternative rock singer. This will help me much, really.

Thanks for taking time for a read/listening, I really appreciate that

Re: Nice day! Please, come in :)

Hey Vlad, just to get you started, I want you to OVER enunciate the entire song because the way you're using your breath, the words are kind of mumbled together. Let's clean that up first. Try speaking the lyrics all first to get everything clean and clear. Then we need to work on your breathing. Your inhales are very breathy. I talk about how to clean this up in the book;)

Re: Nice day! Please, come in :)

Jaime, thanks for your remarks!

I agree with that, my pronounciation in English (my native - Russian) isn't clear yet, I am working on it, and those inhales...oh, they're my problem definitely. I have some kind of chronic laryngitis and in addition to that cannot inhale through nose freely. But i'll continue to work on that, thanks for pointing out.

If everyone else notices something that i might work on, please, don't hesistate, write here! :) I'm not a sensitive one, I like raw facts about what I do

Best, Vlad
