Ariella, I just wanted to say Thank You for a great vocal instruction lesson on disc. I purchased the first disc on Ebay about 6 weeks ago, and I have to say I’ve progressed more using your lessons than any other I’ve used so far. Your simple, relevent instructions really do work and I can really tell that my range and technique improved! Between the vocal excersizes and the breathing development I can really feel the toning as an athlete would. So, Thank You again and good luck to YOU on all of your endevours, you are an angel.

Last night I downloaded volume 1 on iTunes and I am very excited to fulfill this life-long dream. However, I hope that I don’t have to be standing to practice. I want to train during my commute; I can’t sing at home because I want to surprise my wife with a personal concert for her birthday. Will sitting while I practice hinder my progress?- Hector

Hector,

So glad to hear you are going to be singing for your wife. Standing is optimum for singing but second best is sitting straight and strong in your chair- no slouching.
That is often how choirs rehearse. Good luck with it all!

Ariella, I’d like to share how your CDs have motivated and improved my singing. Over the past 18months I’ve purchased each of the 4 in turn. Completing one to a level of competency before moving on to the next. Now I go back and continue the cycle finding new ways to establish a practice routine with your music as the aide. I am waiting for that 5th CD!!! Or better still ‘Specialty CDs’ such as one devoted to my passion … R&B It would be great now that I have the basics to run through some songs from Motown and Stax - focus on the vocal moves between the 1 and 4 which is a bit unusual; and the Runs that you describe in your BLOG. Something to consider — I believe Specialty CDs would sell well. Best regards, ….Gary

Hi Gary,

It is so great to hear back from singers who use my CDs.  I think it is great that you have worked your way through all four of my CDs.  Thanks for the suggestion regarding a 5th CD.  I am working on a couple of new ones right now, once I get those out I will consider other CD ideas and keep your in mind.  I dont believe I have ever given you a Vocal Assessment, I would love to hear where your voice is at and answer any particular questions you may have.  Good luck!
