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: Don't hate me for this...

Johannes and James are right there. There is a tightening a bit above the cords, but not a pinching off of the pharyunx, and your larynx does not need to rise to get it. It's not that I don't want to explain it, because it is all basically already there, but I don't have time to write out 50 pages of info that will be rel;eased very soon in a system I am developing specifically for screaming. It's really not all about the info anyways. it will be about new specific exercises to help you isolate your voice to prduce the grit while adding pitch. I can't release any of these exercises because I am under contract with a company to produce them. That is another reason the extra audio files aren't done yet. I've got 30 projects to complete and only time for 15 of them ;) I have sooo much stuff to do0 my head wants to explode. I even have great people on this board dying to write out audio intervieews I have and I haven't been able to convert them yet to email the interviews to them. I still also try to be loyal anjd check the message board everyday and offer advice. So, everyone please bare with me. When my new book, the new vocal system and a few other projects I have to complete are done, then I will finally have more time to add a lot of stuff to The Voice Conection :)
