GMC Forum _ Nemanja Filipovic (Singing Instructor) _ Problem!

Posted by: SonofDestiny Jun 16 2008, 09:29 AM

Hey Nemanja,

I posted this in the board for the other singing instructor, but I think she's on a holiday or something. I hope you don't think that you're a second choice now or something, I just picked the first singing instructor from the list

Right... so my problem is... I can't sing a powerchorus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lL-I40d0uo ... that's my idea of a powerchorus ) with power. I'm aware of the damage I can do to my voice, so when it doesn't feel good I just stop. But most of the time it doesn't feel good when I try to sing louder. I think the main problem is opening my throat, if you know what I mean...

I really hope you can give me some advice. If you want to know more details, ask me I didn't really know what was relevant, so I removed some of the stuff I had written down (it made me sound silly a bit )

Thanks!

P.S. you offered to help with my song Are you still interested in doing that?

Hi,of course I am not offended Luciana is great instructor.

Well,my general rule when it comes to things that can damage your voice permanently are:don't do it if you are not ready to be patient.
In the link you send me I did not hear any thing dangerus,or to difficult.

First step
Every hard thing(singing or playing) has to haw a good base,so you need to make your voice a bit stronger so that he can make the challenge and the difficulties you are putting him up to.Try to do the basic stuff for beginning.

some thing like this: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-lessons/breathing-and-vowels-lesson/

or this Luciana lesson: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-lessons/legato-singing-lesson/ (sing this an octave lower.)

Then again,I do not know how your voice sounds,so the best way is to upload some of your singing here and we could move on from there.

And yeah I will help you with your song.
