I don't know how it took me so long to find you but after watching a few of your videos I will say that you are the best vocal coach I've found on the internet bar none. I've trained with a number of vocal coaches and you combine the best of what they teach in a much easier to comprehend way as well as offering a lot of new, practical and eye opening tips for opening up the voice. I am very grateful to have found you!

I find interesting with your vocal technique and series of exercises. It helps me improve my vocal range and singing technique. Very simplified vocal exercises. Because of your free online voice lessons/training, I'm dreaming again to audition in the big stage of amateur singing contest in our place. When I was a kid I used to joined in a singing contest and thanks God I always won but because of lack of practiced and don't know the vocal and singing techniques, I find disinterest to continue joining because I have a fear and insecure of defeating by good contestants with good vocal training. Now, that I have learned so many vocal exercises or techniques from your free online healthy vocal techniques, I have the confidence to join again in the big stage of singing contest though I am 60 year old now. I love to sing in a karaoke as my training ground for singing applying of what I have learned from you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for those who do not have enough budget for paying voice lessons like me.

My teacher never says anything about throat only to direct sound to the front teath. Whatever that means. So I probably doing a lot of wrong things with my throat. I will try it on a way back home.
