As a singer myself, I have been intrigued at what is available in the marketplace in these high-tech days in the way of coaching software. This article is some of what I have found:
When I downloaded my “Singorama 2.02″ software bundle – my initial reaction was “wow!” I was amazed at just how much material was there for the relatively low price. It is a big download!
There are 2 books,well put together.and very comprehensive. There is stuff there that I have never seen anywhere else–totally unique. That impressed me immediately.
As well as the usual vocal techniques warm-up exercises, pitching and how to care for your voice, there are things like microphone technique-how to take an audition successfully, overcoming stage fright (a big one this) personalising a song to make it uniquely your own, stage presence & command of your audience. Great stuff.
There was one segment of the course that I really loved–hints on how to sing with a band (not as easy as some think) since my very first professional gig was singing with the late Bob Carter Big Band years ago! I wish I had known then what I know now! Believe me, it is an art. Ahh….those were the days.
This course is eminently practical. It is down to earth – no frills, no fluff no filler material that will give you a tremendous grounding in your chosen profession.
I also fell in love with the nifty little desktop recording studio software you get also-that allows you to rehearse, check your pitch, and even record yourself for assessment from HQ if you so desire.
You simply email the sound-clip as an attachment. Easy!
To top it all, they throw in bonuses such as “Jayde Musica Pro” a game for all the family which is structured to teach you how to read music-an invaluable gift and one I wish I had acquired in my day. It opens so many doors, session singing work for example. The e-book that accompanies, is entitled “The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Reading Music.” Well–I think I will study that… it is never too late to learn, as they say!
Another bonus is “Perfect Your Pitch Pro”, which – as the name implies helps you do just that.
Most people are able with a bit of practice, to get their pitch recognition pretty spot-on with the help of this neat software programme – from every note scaled on the “mini-online piano supplied. It only takes a few days usually to become pitch perfect. Remember, when it comes to singing… pitch is King!
Just one more item worth noting, is The “Singorama” e-mail consultancy line. Personal after sales service is rare these days, so it is yet another very valuable aspect of this superb course.
In conclusion then- we are not into giving out “stars” – (we will leave that to the kindergarten teachers) but if we were, “Singorama” would rate a gold. Enough said. They have a special limited time offer at the time of writing,so check it out, and their freebies too. The link is below.
