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: Jaime - thx for the vids

Okay, seriously...where are these specific videos you all are talking about? I've watched most of the 2 new videos with that one guy singing, but not all the way through. PLUS, I'm completely oblivious to this "Owl" exercise. Dont' go into detail about them, just tell me EXACTLY where to find them. I imagine they're in the "Members" section, but where specifically?

Re: Jaime - thx for the vids

Umm... well, it's a little awkward, Brandon.

See... Jamie doesn't want you to get to watch the new videos till you've been not-smoking for at least six months. There's like, ten videos he hid from you. My range expanded two octaves just from hearing about them. Three from actually watching them. And I can sing at 145 decibles. Actually that's more like my whispering voice now.


Good luck with the smoking thing, bro... We'll let you know when you can watch the videos.


Seriously though, I don't know where the techniques are... I haven't checked them out yet due to some connection problems.

Re: Jaime - thx for the vids

Is the hooting owl thing in any of the videos?

Re: Jaime - thx for the vids

Yes it is. Cannot remember where. I talk about the hooting sound and how you can feel it underneath yourt chin. Probably one of the first two videos.

Re: Jaime - thx for the vids

I like how you have a "yet" at the end of that sentence, Jaime;)
