First I want to congratulate Jaime on his amazing instruction and materials. I have devoured all the books, DVD's, CD's in the market for years and Raise Your Voice is still the spinal chord of all my technique.

Here's an interesting question that happened with a new song we're about to record. I'm a rock singer, tenor, and where my voice really shines is in the higher register. Think AXL Rose, Brian Johnson high frequencies.

The thing is that we've just written a great high energy rock song with a lot of punch in the chorus. The chorus vocal melody is in the middle of my range and has a more percussive nature (a la Stones's Satisfaction). The thing is that I really want to punch harder and bring up the dynamics like I normally do with choruses in higher register but I don't get a lot of punch, strength on this one. I asked a few singers friends and both say the same, "getting punchier in the middle of the range can sometimes be funky."

I'm trying a bunch of techniques: reverse breathing, different placement, some Bel Canto ideas, but it doesn't do the trick. I just want to really learn this one and not having to lay a million tracks in the studio that I will never be able to reproduce live. Any advice, suggestion?

Well, when say say puncier, I think fuller, and I'd have you doing Ultimate Isolation exercises in the mid-range. But then you mentioned GnR, ACDC, so I'd have you doing TONS of E Screams and Lugo's Pharyngeal exercise. I'd do them after you regular workout and I'd look at your chorus notes. Let's say your chorus has you singing an A, Tenor C, and Alto E. I'd have you doing the E Screams from A-A#-B-C-C#-D-D#-E-F- anf back down, then repeat with Lugo's Eee-yah exercise up and down to make sure your really working that chorus area. Within a week or two, you'll feel more punch;)
