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.
75,000mg!
Oh yes! I was up all night, I wrote down how many I took just to see exactly how much it would be.
I started out with 500mg Caplets, and then had to make a trip to Walgreen where they had 1,000mg Caplets - and man - I really turned it on then. I started taking it every 15 minutes.
My voice is back, but raspy. Since I'm off today, I'm just going to try to sleep now that I've got this taken care of.
For those who don't know it - if you mega-dose Vitamin C (aka "Ascorbic Acid") after you reach a certain point in the dosages, it becomes both an anti-histamine and one of the strongest anti-biotics known to exist.
So, in between the Bragg's ACV and the Vitamin C in mega-doses, I have my voice back. I won't be singing again until it's all the way back, but at least now I'll be able to talk.

btw, anybody who hasn't tried this before - you'll need to drink about 3 times the normal amount of water - and you'll want a toilet near by, because once you hit saturation - you'll be peeing like there is no tomorrow - you'll get diarrhea first, but once that stops - you'll pee like crazy....and it will literally dehydrate you big time.
Actually, Mega-dosing on Vitamin C is good to do once in a while just to help detoxify your body.

Hey Jaime,
you've got to love this one.LOL
Toxicity of Vitamins
For the Toxicity of Vitamin C it states This vitamin is moderately toxic. Intake at 20 to 80 times the RDA produces gastrointestinal disturbances and diarrhea.
I guess saying that large does of Vitamin C will make you pass gas doesn't sound Ominous enough.
My, but what Gas it shall be! You could clear a bar with that kind of gas!
