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: Top 5 of All Time?...

I think that he would have been the only choice to use for a Queen reunion. I think Paul Rodgers is an exceptional vocalist, but I believe George Michael has more of the vocal characteristics of Mercury, than Rodgers does.

Re: Top 5 of All Time?...

Absolutely. George Michael is the only person I've ever heard who can vocally do justice to Freddie. Also, his voice has seemed to hold up over the years more than Paul's. I've read stuff where the rest of Queen says they weren't looking for someone to actually replace Freddie. I mean, it's clear that Paul Rodgers sounds nothing like Freddie, and I guess that's the kind of thing they were looking for.

I would've loved to hear George Michael do it though. His version of Somebody to Love at the Freddie tribute concert was really spot on.
