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.
Thanks everyone for listening!
I'm glad you like my voice and the music. 
I've been singing with RYV for about a year now. I sang a bit before that but I was completely untrained and could barely match a pitch. I've made an amazing amount of progress just by learning about the voice and praticing regularly!
I checked out Mother of Sin. Good band! I can hear the similarities. Thanks for letting me know about them.
yeh they are an awesome band
No probs 
Thanks for listening 
I'm not on a label. I do everything myself... I'm marketing the cd using a bunch of different methods. Later this week I'm putting some videos on youtube to promote it. I'm waiting for more reviews of the cd to come out too. I've got a band myspace, which helps as well as a personal and band website. There's much more to be done in the future. The best way to promote and sell cds is to play gigs though!
You might want to finish up some of those songs and release an EP to test if people want to buy your music or not. If that has some success, keep going and doing more.
Dude I love the shredding you have an awesome future ahead!!!!! I wish you all the best
