Judy Rodman replied to Pete Warren's discussion Killer Rock singers in Nashville?"Hey.. a truly incredible Nashville rock singer is Joey Jelf. I once hired him on a project for a Karaoke tracks company to do cover Lou Gramm's lead vocal on 'I Want To Know What Love Is". He blew it out of the water.

Vocal vibrato can be likened to garlic... some songs/dishes call for more, some less. There are different types.

Voice Fried But Band Rehearsal Looms?
Posted on May 8, 2012 at 4:31pm 0 Comments 0 Promotions
I recently had a real-world refresher about how to get a voice that feels fried in shape for a long band rehearsal....because this time the voice was mine!
The year so far in Nashville is full of pollen and other allergens, even more than usual this year. My schedule has been slamming with vocal lessons, studio production, etc. The day of rehearsal, I gave several vocal lessons starting 9am, drove to the studio and did a few hours of vocal production, drove back, gave more vocal…

Naomi Webb said… I've played piano for people taking voice lessons, but never had any myself. You can go to my page and listen to 'Beauty For Ashes'and 'Free To Love Again' to hear my voice. For me to improve would you recommend your 'Power, Path & Performance' first, or face to face voice lessons?

I want to make sure I have a comfortable and efficient place for vocalists, and no one would know better than you.
