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: Tongue exercise strengthens Chords?

I am a graduate of "Perfect Voice Institute"
I know first hand about all the tongue muscles and all the other exercises Feuchtinger taught.
I know the Feuchtinger family personally.
All of you are just guessing.
The Tongue does not strenghten the vocal cords.
The Tongue merely acts on the Hyoid Bone.
The Palate also acts on the the Hyoid bone as well as on the Thyroid Cartilage.
The who action is what the course was given for.
It is not about singing or speaking but about making the total voice stronger more resonate.................... Much Much more.

Re: Tongue exercise strengthens Chords?

Well put, "Anonymous." I've never heard of Perfect Voice Institute or Feuchtinger. I learned these type of exercise from Alan Greene, who in my opinion, is the man on this subject. The goal is to build overall strength.
