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: Ideal gym routine for a singer?

Great i will include most of that. I doubt i could bench 150lb that easily currently.
I am looking to tone first...lots of toning to be done before i go for mass. I am naturally wide shouldered and building mass is not hard for me.
It is the excess (wayyy too much) fat and lack of fitness that is the problem


I know what you mean. The average man is 18" wide at the shoulders, and I am 21" wide at the shoulders. Forget the whole "toning up" concept, my experience is that whole concept is a misnomer... you are either adding muscle or you aren't. (For me, I ether lift and add muscle, or I don't lift and I get fat, I'm the ultimate Endomorph.)

Re: Ideal gym routine for a singer?

Toning is basically working out/stretching with light resistance.

If toning worked than fat people would get skinny instead of being able to do the splits.

When you see someone with a 'toned' body they are either naturally lean or doing light work outs with weak resistances.

Girls often use 1-2lb weights when they want to get 'toned'.

A girl can look 'buff' with only 10lb arm weights.

Muscles burns calories, but there also slow/long cardio like walking on an incline (you can set the treadmill for this) or isometric type excersise (like yoga or more western with bands).

Chances are if you are fat and don't eat a ton you might actually have a virus or bacteria in your guts--and it can even be resistant to antibiotics.

This could also explain why you don't inherit fat genes, but instead fat inducing bacteria from you mother's gut or how she prepares food (apparently you need to put bleach in all your meat and cutting boards).

Just look up "gut bacteria obesity" in Google.

I mean ixquick--google is garbage now :P
