I don't know Melissa Cross's whole program , but I can tell you all this: There is NO bs in this clip, I have used some of it in the past, it is real. [video=youtube;QMUoJbOVihg] You could use this as part of your warm up routine, but it also contains some 'Gold' in exercises that improve everything about how you sing and sound. .

Singing Success is a marketing gimmick. It "may" help you if you want to sound like Taylor Swift...... I like Taylor Swift, but yea.....:D:D

Brittany Spears made vocal fry a cool buzzword. He will get lots of chicks from doing the vocal fry :-) :D

Hi, I watched a few videos about vocal fry and it seems a good thing to know, particularly to learn to sing more relaxed. The trouble is that when I try to do it my voice makes a sort high-pitched sound with very low volume, not really what's supposed to be heard. Is there a method on the Web I could use to teach myself? Do you have any advice? Thank you for your help. What is it you would hope to gain from Vocal 'Fry' ? .

Strat, when I write about voices and styles, I'm referring to 2 totally different things. You can sing in many styles, using the one voice. And you can sing in one style using many different voices. As I've said before, the problem arises when people WHO AREN'T PHYSICALLY EQUIPPED TO DO SO, attempt to use different voices, usually in attempts to copy different and diverse singers. A singer always sounds best when he or she sings in their own voice, thus sounding unique. For every singer who can sing EQUALLY WELL in opera, metal, musical comedy, yodeling, rock, baritone , castrato ---- there's a MILLION singers who CAN'T. There's no shame with singing in your own, unique voice, in fact THAT'S the best way to achieve success. You're on the right track with sticking to the things you do best. Good luck. :cool: Good Impressionists seem to have multiple voices which is like you said one in a million, some people I have known over the years seem to have a natural talent for pulling those different voices off, my only natural talent is doing my own...:D

Not sure what is meant by 'different' voices, but I have different styles that I can sing , Country , Rock , Southern Rock .... I don't do that well when I try to do 'everything', one tends to lose out over the other, so lately I've just picked the style I can best maintain without having dissapointments if that makes any sense.... I'm sticking with the style I do best and trying to build on that to further identify and improve what I do best, which means I can add songs from different genres 'only' if they fit the groove that I have developed that works most reliably for me, nothing worse than getting on stage and feeling like you're not doing your absolute best. I definitely admire singers that can 'do it all', I'm just not one of them. :idk:
