Peace! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. You seem to be knowledgeable and passionate, a great combination. I am interested in receiving training from you. Are you located in L.A.?
I’ve never had a lot of confidence in my singing, but lately, with a lot of instruction that I have found in your videos, I’ve become much more confident. I recently had an audition, and did it while still overcoming a chest and head cold, and got the gig (I think they had some pretty low expectations), and now I’ve really begun to work on strengthening my voice with your warmup exercises. I want to progress as a vocalist, and as I mostly sing rock (Theory of a Deadman, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, et. al.) I was wondering if you covered more rock techniques in your AAproach 2.1, or at least included a way that these techniques can be practically applied to rock singing? I already feel a great difference when I sing, with a more relaxed throat, and breathing, and am much more comfortable with most of our song choices and the likelihood that they won’t damage my voice. But at the same time, I want to make sure what I am doing is safe for my voice, as our gigs are usually 3.5 hours of singing per night.
A solid technique for one style of music is a solid technique for any style. All the foundational concepts taught in Aapproach programs will strengthen your voice for rock singing as well as any other genre that you choose. Singing with a rock style is simply a matter of using more “edge” in the voice or compression. This can be enhanced by developing the breathing and strengthening the vocal folds. When applying these techniques to rock singing, just make sure that you listen to your body. If you experience pain, discomfort, or hoarseness after singing, then you know you are on the wrong track. But, by developing your diaphragm and vocal folds, it should not be an issue.
Wow, very long but informative video. Thanks for all the effort you’ve put in it. And for all the tips
Learned a lot again.
Cheers,
