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.

Weird feeling in throat

Hey all. I've kind of been noticing that that the left side of my throat feels kind of weird. I don't necessarily think it's a pulled muscle but I do think it has something to do with maybe me laughing excessively sometimes, yawning, stretching my neck a lot and swallowing hard. And of course from not singing properly. It doesn't hurt, but like whenever I swallow I only feel it on the left side of my throat and sometimes after I've used my voice a lot it there's a good deal of tension there and it just kind of feels weird. And also when I sing more intense stuff and notice improper tension it kind of all feels like the left side is where most of the tension is. Idk what's up. Think there's anything I should do? Just rest? Usually feels better after sleep but tends to come back when singing and especially when I'm not doing it very well. It has just gotten more and more noticeable.

Do you perform the VSR?

If you do not, you are only cheating yourself.

Re: Weird feeling in throat

honestly man, use the vocal stress release program as much as you can because that'll work wonders
