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.

VSR, UBW, The Siren

I am curious if I am in a time crunch, which things would be best to eliminate..... I am heading into week 5 where it says to do VSR,plus the other 3 exercises for 2 weeks straight. I am trying to find a balance between that and the UBW exercises??????? I try to do all but it takes like 2 hrs and some days I don't have that much time..... Jaime if you could list items in level of importance from both books, I would appreciate it, I am hoping I am not duplicating my workout on some of the different exercises between books.......

Thanks,
Chris

Re: VSR, UBW, The Siren

Don't worry about the UBW for now. Concentrate soley on the RYV exercises. If you sustain the notes for muscle burn, you are strengthening the lungs and diaphragm anyways. You can add the UBW in a few months.

Killer dude - I was beginning to feel overwhelmed with assignments.... Although I do like the last one on the ubw.
