Let me just say that I have wanted to sing my entire life but never had the tools to do it. As something I thought only came naturally, I didn't persue it much...instead I turned to playing guitar (for 25 years). However, after getting RYV and working at it for a month now, I realize that I can do some cool sh*t that I could never do before and much like guitar, I now know that is takes coordination, hard work, muscle development and patience. I am so happy I found your site, Jaime. Thanks a million for all the work you have done and your willingness to let us learn from you!

Does anyone else drive around doing the "siren" with windows open and have people stare? It's awesome!

Rock!

Yeah I've gotten a few looks from a Siren. I was even told to stop outside of a hostpital beacuas I sounded like an ambulance and I was scaring the patients ;)

I hate driving and singing anything high. With the way your legs go, I find it hard to get support and I just burn my voice out :(

I agree, Doug!

Wow, no kidding? I wonder if this is a technique I should avoid....Although I see Jaime doing it in the videos without a problem. I know proper posture is best, but with limited time for practice, I find myself doing most my excercises (not breathing workouts!) in the car. BTW - the videos bring all the book lessons and MP3's to life! if anyone has not seen them you must It is very inspiring to see the real lessons happen.

Thanks for the feedback!

I drive and practice all the time with no problem. You can do it safely.

Maybe I need to change the way I sit in the car.

If you hunch over in the car, you're not going to be breathing correctly. Relax and keep your upper back supported, your ribs expanded (though you only really want to expand them on lower notes, the breath will be compressed and tighter if you do not open the ribcage which can be useful singing higher at the possible expense of some chest resonance), and you will be able to do them wherever you want.
