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.

An original where I start kind of low and then go high at the end

Just found an example of what I had mentioned earlier in the session today about trying to find my range. Here is an original which pretty much has three stages.
Just thought of putting this up here to see what you think. This was written and recorded in a few hours in a friends living room. Song currently being redone and re recorded. Meanwhile, would like to know what you think of it.. Cheers

Lyrics
Wicked Dreams are all I have
A page of haunting memories
As I look back into the light
A scary Darkness surrounding me
I can feel
Like an Ice Cube Burning
I can Feel
Is that YOU returning

Wicked Dreams are all I have
A page of haunting memories
As I look back into the light
A scary Darkness surrounding me
I can Feel

Look behind and Turn the page
All those tears now turn to streams
Always sucked in my Happiness
All I have is a Silent Scream
I can feel
Like an Ice Cube Burning
I can Seee
Is that YOU returning

Plastic Smiles with slimy lies
All around me, I close my eyes
Precious Moments and memories
Sliding thru my insanity
dont take me back to those happy times
we had our fun and I pay the Price
As we scream out and Deny
I close my ears to your pleading Cries
