Thanks to VVA, my singing problem is going away!
Aloha, my name is Wayne and I've been a singer/songwriter playing and teaching professionally for 20+ years. Though I really love to sing (since I was a child), I consider composing, performing, and improvising with instruments to be my forte; mainly because of chronic neck and throat tension/soreness challenges that has been inhibiting my vocal/singing development for the past 12 years or so. During that time I've tried various approaches and other singing courses but ultimately, they all left my throat more sore than when I started. The worst one happened 5 years ago when I took a private 40 minute lesson with a top Level 5 Certified SLS instructor. That one lesson left my throat feeling very sore and swollen (like the worst tight, painful burning sensation I've ever felt) for 2 1/2 months. Ouch! Needless to say I never went back. But because I do want to sing with complete ease and freedom, I've continued going onto YouTube and subscribing to a variety of coaches to get a feel for them and their approach, hoping to find a helpful solution. Six weeks ago, I discovered Jamie Vendera describing his 3-step approach to singing. In step 3, he described "aiming" the sound of the voice to the upper rear/top of the mouth and letting it resonate precisely *there* - not in the much talked about chest, head, or so called "mix voice". Wow, what a revelation! This was unique: I never heard anyone explain so simply and clearly how to sing...to me Jamie was making perfect sense! So I tried it and guess what? It immediately felt good. Placing my voice where Jamie teaches actually feels waaay better than singing any other way. I'm in! :-)

More reviews of Sing Better Fast!
Going through the first few episodes right now and already I'm picking up little insights and good reminders of mindset and vocal health. I'm also liking the fact that it's generally 30 minutes so I can squeeze it into my schedule on most days. Great job Jaime and Ben. Keep it up it's much...Read full review »
