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.

Feeling. Chapter 20: Falsetto Development RYV

Hello everybody

As I explained in my presentation message, I do not have the necessary connection to take online courses with Jaime. ( FRANCE )
So I have a few questions.

1. When Jaime speaks of cleaning the air in the voice, is it normal to feel like a closure in the throat, a bit like when passing the PASSAGIO, but very light? A kind of sudden connection feeling ...
In fact, we would go back to M1, but very light, is that right?
If this is false, this joint in the throat would mean that I go back to M1, whereas it would be necessary to do differently ...

2. Is it normal to feel like fatigue after exercise? Not a feeling of pain, but like a muscle cramp in the throat, and also an inability to go into the top of his range for the rest of the day.

Here is my first questions on this exercise.

Thank you in advance, and hello from FRANCE

Hi

Your second question I have to say no to. Try this: Drink A LOT of water throughout the day and while you're practising. And the most important: Learn to master the support Jaime presents in Raise Your Voice.

For me it sounds like you don't support enough and that you are singing from your throut - trust me, it takes some time to learn to support!

Read about support in the book and practise placeing a book on your stomic every night in 15 minutes to master your breath

Your answer has just made me aware.

I think people like me, who try to sing with the throat, think too much with the throat. I just made a vocalise series by forgetting my throat, and making the direct link between my support and resonance and it seems to work.

Can be a trick to remember for beginners who have this problem.

In any case, I feel that the training in Falsetto is making me aware of the importance of the resonance.

Thank you a lot
