Customer Reviews

a little bummed
Well, I was excited about this DVD set. I still work on it. but after trying it for a couple weeks, i realized that there is NOT over 3 hours of voice lessons. Id say there are 6 lessons that range from about 15-20 minutes in length. they are helpful but they promise what they dont give. Ron Anderson, for example, says he'll show you how to put songs together...and doesnt. Gary Catona's lessons (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) all seem to be basically identical in excercises and all. I dont know if i have a flawed disc or if it was made with mistakes, but Ron Anderson also says at the end of the Advanced lesson, that that same lesson was an intermediate lesson. i am just confused...maybe it was just put together really fast.
Just some honest comments from striving performer.

BEWARE: THIS CAN DAMAGE YOUR VOICE!
Folks, this is a total rip-off.
The Gary Catona stuff is so TIGHT and FORCED, you could easily damage your voice doing this type of thing everyday improperly. You could give yourelf nodules very easily.
Singing on the "core of the voice" has to be done very carefully, its too advanced, and not for beginners, and is not even explained. VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR VOICE!

Ron Anderson just gives you some basic classical scales and breathing exercises, with too much manipulation, and tensions, and rigidness. The way he gets you to "round your voice" is just tension, and will make you sound like [...], and spoil your natural voice.
These guys are both total amateurs, and somehow they don't wreck whatever "famous" students they allegedly have.

Bottom line, this DVD is a rip-off.

and folks, if you want to sing, you have to learn how to VOCALLY RELAX, otherwise you are toast.

CIGARETS HAVE HEALTH WARNINGS SO SHOULD THIS DVD?
I have been singing for over 20 years and i have never been so shocked at how these famouse people can get away with ripping off the public so openly and not be arrested' there is nothing professional at all about this DVD if you follow the so called exorcises you will damage your vocal cords' the whole technique used is rubbish and rounding out of out of key vowels well my god teen's will follow this my friends son nearly did @if i had a choice i wouldn't give this a one star rating.......... if you need to buy a singing course i would just say look for Brett Manning you won't got wrong.
