Whenever I see one of my fav bands called Dungeon. I sing the whole ******* concert like every song and I sing it at full volume so I can hear myself clearly. My voice doesnt feel better really afterwards however it feels warmed up. I do it as practice for singing in the upper register. Some guys there in the crowd really suck at singing lol. Its annoying when there are so many people singing out of key :p

I like singing at concerts too. As long as you follow about 5 key prinicpals, you won't lose your voice!!! :)

This exercise builds up the whole voice. i'm a beginner in it - i think that's the reason why my voice felt better. . . but i didnt have so much water and sometimes i pushed with too much air.

I really need your book Jaime :P

When you sing at concerts though Jaime don't you like sing at 120 dB. You would drown out other people around you's hearing. :)

Ha-ha. Yeah, I've been known to turn a few heads ;) A funny story- Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge called me last week. We're trying to work out a time for me to come watch the band and do an interview. when he called I said hey man , I'm Thor, the god of THHHUUUUUNDDDDDAAAARRR! Like when he screams in the movie Rockstar. Well, I thought it was funny, maybe you guys don't. I'm getting old. Ha-ha. Hang in there, you'll get that book in a few more weeks....If you're lucky. Ha-ha. BTW, this isn't extra points but does anyone know of any voice related ezines that we can also add to the site????

JAime

I really need to watch Rockstar, I reckon I would love it.

I only know a few ezines and they ain't to do with the voice directly although some of them I am sure some are very noisy ;)

And that THHHUUUUUUUUUNDDDAAAARRRR! Scream is a Jeff Scott Soto one I guess. Like in Blood Pollution.

haha! A lot people turned their head around and looked at me as if i was an ufo :-D hope i didn't ruin the concert for them ...

HAHA good work.

I read something you said on the eblah singing site Lafa. The way you talked it was though head voice was not full voice. To my knowledge I thought head voice was full voice :S

Yes... i know now that "full voice" was another register. But it's only another resonance. It is head voice... :-) Haven't said that yet on the singing forum lol..... :-D I will when i get a chance ^^

Can you sing in this resonance smoothly? I can't do that yet.

I thought there was Chest Voice, Head Voice and Falsetto and that Chest voice and Head voice are both called full voice. I can sing in head voice pretty **** high but I feel I have many bad techniques. My passagio is a bit bad sometimes i need to work on getting through it smoothly. I can get to A5 or B5 depending on the day in head voice. The tone aint great though and I think my larynx rises too much. My falsetto is a bit gay too to get past E5 in it I feel i need to push alot harder and then i can get up to C6 sometimes.

The way I teach, chesat voice and head voice are both full voice, it's just about your focus of resonance. Only falsetto is different.

Yeh that's what I thought, thanks for clarifying bro.

i sang and screamed my way through a priest set. when i was able to talk afterwards thats how i knew my voice was stronger then it used to be. at the time i would have to attribute that power to that scream exercise in jim gillettes video. i was glad to see that it also made its way to ryv

"My falsetto is a bit gay" ... Alright,

The was one of the funniest remarks I've read on here for a while. It's not just the phrase itself but the timing that made it great!

I think the key here is the fact that there is an inherently effeminate quality to the falsetto. That's why Prince has been referred to as "The gayest straight man out there." Of course, the falsetto isn't the ONLY reason for that, but it helps

Another interview with Myles? Our 15 pages weren't enough for you? Well, I'm not complaining, you know I'll be the first one to read it anyway

Check the date on that comment.

OMG that is SO old Thanks for pointing that out!!
