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 Slide Confusion

'Ah' should be easier because you're opening your mouth wide as you do when you hit high notes.

Sooooo... I don't know if you're doing it right or what.



Don't use too much breath, just keep it light and headvoice-like.

You will break where your bridge is (unless your mix is coordinated) and if you go too high in headvoice it should be like straining and choking yourself and you should stop.

Re: Falsetto Slide Confusion

Nice insight. I also noticed this feeling of pressure/dizziness around my eyes when doing falsetto at around B5-C6. Is this the cathedral in my head, or something that could potentially be damaging?

Re: Falsetto Slide Confusion

Whenever I hear about people becoming dizzy and having all these sensations I think it's weak cardiovascular and breathing (O2 to the brain?).

When it comes to 'mask' or getting skull resonance, I think the number one sign is hearing and feeling your voice come out of your ears.

I can feel vibrations all over my face and head without using proper placement or trying to do mask, so really who can verify all these other descriptors of quality resonance (especially from the internet)?

Re: Falsetto Slide Confusion

I'm now getting that feeling constantly at those notes. I'll go dig up a falsetto slide recording or two from Wednesday and then record some tomorrow (forgot to record today) and see if that helps us verify.
