Book Reviews of Raise Your Voice 2nd edition
Book Review: This book is my gift to all singers
Summary: 5 Stars
I am the author of this book. This book is the result of 20 years of studying voice, finding faults within my own voice and learning how to correct them through the guidance of vocal health, strength training, breath development and secrets given to me by some of the most amazing singers on the planet.
Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition is a labour of love; I strived to bring together as many tips, tricks and tactics created by pro singers and coaches around the world into one book. The book is based on visualization and hard work to extend your vocal range, power, quality and stamina in minimal time. I didn't want you to have to spend years like I had.
It covers vocal health, vocal anatomy, the speaking voice, overcoming fear, staying in shape, being your best on stage and mastering the recording studio. My Vocal Stress Release Program and Isolation Method will help you minimize vocal stress and get you singing higher, louder, longer or stronger than you've ever imagined.
And if you want to learn things like the true way to scream or add grit without blowing out your voice, I have found the secret...and if you want to shatter glass with your voice, like I did on MythBusters, well, I tell you how I've shatttered over 150 of em, so you can too!
Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition also comes with over 9 hours of instructional audio & videos, downloadable exercises and a message board to discuss the techniques with fellow RYV users, all available through the Members section of the book. So, you are getting way nore than just 460 pages of vocal information. I did this out of my passion for teaching, so that each and every one of you had more than just the book to guide you through my system.
This book is endorsed by bands like Alter Bridge, RA, Dream Theater, Nitro, TNT, Symphony X, Kill Hannah, Saliva, Journey and many more as well as vocal coaches like Brett Manning, Jeannie Deva, Melissa Cross, Mark Baxter, Thomas Appel, Dena Murray, Cara Mastrey, etc. So if you want to sing rock, metal or anything modern including Blues, pop and other styles, the techniques in this book can lead you in that direction. I hope this book helps make each and every one of you a singing machine!!!
Book Review: My "Vocal bible"
Summary: 5 Stars
Jamie Vendera's "Raise Your Voice" 2nd edition my "vocal bible", for vocalists is the most comprehensive book for vocalists I have found. While I have read a number of other books to regain my vocal abilities, Raise Your Voice is the best by far. The others I have read were either very basic, "dry", or otherwise non-productive for my particular needs.
RYV is so comprehensive, I could spend hours going into the details. RYV covers everything a vocalist needs, whether a beginner, intermediate, advanced, or even professional singers who have damaged or "lost" their voices due to improper technique, or otherwise "bad habits".
RYV covers everything from proper breathing techniques, vocal health, increasing octave range, proper warm up, "developing style", a chapter for "Hard Rockers Only", and as I've stated, many topics too numerous to mention in this review.
Jamie has spent countless hours, thousand of dollars, and years of research to share his knowledge and expertise with YOU, the vocalist who desires to become your best !
This book is not only about Jamie, but also includes excerpts and tips from some of the best vocal instructors, rock stars and other professional singers, and he is highly endorsed by them.
RYV is not only for rock singers, but also for singers of pop, metal, blues, etc.
From a personal standpoint, I was in a number of bands as a vocalist and keyboardist at a younger age. Due to a cervical spinal injury, and five spinal surgeries later, I was told by a number of my doctors that I would never sing again. RYV has changed that, and I am proud to announce that with dedication and commitment, I am singing better than ever, and have increased my octave range significantly. I do not know where I would be today without RYV.
From my personal experience with RYV, I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone serious enough about their vocal instrument.
Definitely a FIVE STAR RATING and MORE if it were possible.
Highly recommended to all vocalists.
Thank You, Jamie !!!
Book Review: Unlike other coaches, Jaime knows what he's talking about
Summary: 5 Stars
Before reading this book I had been trying for about a year and a half to learn to sing with limited success. I tried the material of several of the popular online vocal coaches with very limited success. Although I improved marginally with new information from different coaches, I never got even close to where I wanted to be. I just didn't like the way my voice sounded even when I hit the pitches perfectly - it was just lacking quality of tone (hint: if you don't know anything about singing, this is the most important aspect of singing). The solution was Jaime's Isolation Method which was completely different from anything that I had ever done. Jaime's approach is so much different and more effective that it's almost like he's the only coach that actually understands how singing works and how to improve the voice. The vast majority of what I had done involved scales with lip rolls and various vowel sounds which were almost completely inadequate in improving tone. Sure, they were effective at improving my range but who wants to listen to someone sing really high notes really badly? By the way, for those interested in improving range, the Isolation Method is actually more effective at achieving that goal than these other methods.
This book is miles above anything else you're going to read or watch and it covers every single aspect of singing. Another important aspect is visualization and sensation and Jaime describes that in great detail (When reading the book, it might sound like baloney at first but when you start to feel some of the things that he describes you will understand why this is important and learn how to aim for certain sensations that are most effective for you).
If you want more reason to buy, look at the reviews for this book. My review will make a total of 24, 22 of which are 5 star ratings. You won't find anything close to this on Amazon for vocal instruction. I know because I checked just about all of the popular books before I bought this. It works
Book Review: Best training for singers available!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know this review will sound like paid ad, but this book is so useful that it just can't sound like anything else :)
Well I tried everything. Not sure how many trainings for singers or courses I tried, books, instructional DVDs, online lessons etc etc... some of them worked a bit, I found some improvements in my singing but not too much, and with some products not at all. I learned something from those but I never had such huge success like with Raise Your Voice!
Jaime Vendera, author of this book, is the guy you saw in MythBusters shattering a wine glass with his voice. Singing techniques he teaches are used by great singers such as Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), James Labrie (Dream Theater), Matt Devine (Kill Hannah), Kevin Rudolf and more... This already tells you enough!
This book has it all. It contains everything a singer should know. It's like a Bible for singers, because it's not the book you will read once and then never open it again, you will always go back to it to learn more and more. It will learn you proper techniques to strengthen you voice, it will help you maintenance it, keep it healthy, and most importantly you will learn correct technique that can be applied to any music style (unlike most of other books or products) - breathing, proper support, singing higher pitches, singing with more volume and power. It will teach you "Power Push" which is a technique used by many world know artists (some of them I mentioned above) which will give you the possibility to sing with more power and resonance in higher pitches like you couldn't before - using that technique you will gain power and hit notes you thought you will never be able to do, and it's something that you wont find in many other books or courses, so be sure to not miss it.
Be sure to check Raise Your Voice, it's inexpensive, you get it for less then a price of one singing lesson, so you got nothing to lose to try it, and will surely benefit from it. I did - A LOT!
Book Review: A Singers Investment
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has helped me greatly as a singer.
It has helped restore my confidence and clear away the confusion I struggled with for sometime trying to understand my own voice and performance.
Having had previous training before purchasing RYV2 I was well aware of how hard it is to find a great teacher. In my experience, it's like a needle in a hay stack to find a teacher that is dedicated to "the student" and is willing to invest in "your interest" and "style" as a singer, but most of all one that really knows what their talking about!! Jaime is "that" teacher, he's very real and completely unselfish with his vocal coaching. (something I have found most other teachers are not)If you watch one of Jaime Vendera's video's on YouTube you'll catch my drift. When I first read RYV2 I was blown away by the amount of information incorporated in the book. This book doesn't miss a beat. It gives you the keys to unlock the truth of solid vocal technique, to preparing your entire being for the busy life on the road as a performer. I can not tell you enough how much this has helped me!! The detail in this book is second to none. There are simple laid out guides & remedies in this book that have helped me with my own vocal health, something I am truly thankful for.
Another fantastic aspect of RYV2 is the members forum. Jaime has set up a online forum for us students to use. So when you are reading the book and doing the exercises you can go online into the forum post any questions you have and get the help you need. This is really really awesome!!
To do what we do as singers is challenging enough. But to be able to find a teacher & book that covers your essential core needs as a vocalist, is rare!!
Despite past training RYV2 is one of the best investments vocally I have ever made.
Thank you Jaime, you are truly a Godsend!
