Voice Lessons To Go - V.1 Vocalize & Breath

My husband bought this CD and we've taken a couple of road trips where we will put it in and do the voice exercies for 30 minutes or so. It's a good product, but she seems off key at times. I find that it can be hard to listen to her voice at times.

This is a good, basic warm-up set. It's great having it on CD to keep me focused to get the basics done. I move on from there. Four stars are because I get slightly irritated by her singing and playing when things speed up. I wish she wouldn't sing along, nor play all the notes. I tend to turn it off and do those myself. It's good to practice with your metronome anyway, and away from the CDs so you can really hear yourself and pay attention to your pitch as well. Great for traveling.

I am a beginner, but my voice has already improved from practicing using this CD along as reading and practicing with other books such as: Singing for Dummies, Singing Coach Unlimited, free videos at expert village, etc.

If you're the kind of learner who learns from books, and DVD's and CD's etc. then this is a very good choice. One to add to your arsenal of learning how to sing. (I am looking around for a good vocal coach, and when I actually find one who can teach me and practice me with something other than what I've already learned then I'll work with one.)

Oh, and I'm checking out Roger Burnley's EZ Vocal Method, we'll see how that works. Good luck and best with your singing!

***I just had to add this: after using the breathing exercises in this CD one time (I'll be using it everyday for sure!) well, the range of my voice dramatically improved. The squeeky sound that comes when going from chest voice (lower notes) to head voice (higher notes) have disappeared. Wow, amazing, I'm so very grateful I can now reach the high notes easily, comfortably, effortlessly (like she said, if there's any discomfort, then you're doing it wrong). Thanks sooo much!

BTW, you can get this CD as an mp3 download here at Amazon, no waiting, no postage, easy at half the price too.

This is a pretty decent warmup cd, it will help get your voice ready to go somewhat for when you want to sing some actual songs. The major parts of the cd I disagree with however is that she gives some bad advice, and sometimes doesn't give advice at all when it's needed.

She doesn't properly explain what you need to do in order to hit the higher notes in the warmups, and she also tells you on numerous occasions that you need to essentially tense up your stomach in order to hit some of the warmups. This is bad advice as singing should come naturally and you should be in a relaxed state.

Other than this it is a pretty decent cd.

The CD is really good and as a bonus includes a few lessons of breathing exercises. The only thing I dislike is that, when you hear it everyday, you found a little bit anoying, the comments of the teacher over the piano sound you are suppose to sing. Also sometimes she speak really fast and loud. But maybe is just my point of you after many listens.
