Part Three: Strengthening the Voice, offers a complete vocal training system
that will strengthen and train your voice to reach your singing potential,
and increase your range up to an octave! This system starts with The
ULTIMATE vocal warm up, called the Vocal Stress Release program; an intense
vocal warm-up that will release vocal tension and prepare the voice for
hours of singing. That’s just the beginning. Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition
approaches vocal training from a different aspect. Never again will you have
to do thirty minutes of boring scales from a pre-recorded tape (unless of
course you want to. In which case we also supply you with scale exercises in
the “Members Only” section of The Voice Connection.). All you’ll need is a
keyboard, a guitar, or a small hand-held device called a pitch wheel. The
Isolation Method Is a unique system of vocal development, which “isolates”
the individual pitches and vocal muscles to assure maximum gains in range,
quality and power. This method is based on three simple exercises, and can
be completed in as little as ten minutes. These three simple exercises work
together to strengthen the voice by following a powerful, effective pattern:
Exercise One: The Falsetto Slide: Strengthens the falsetto! Exercise Two: Transcending Tone: Strengthens the transition from falsetto to
full voice! Exercise Three: The Siren: Strengthens the full voice!
Why are these three exercises so powerful? Each exercise is performing
multiple duties. Not only does each exercise strengthen different muscles
and aspects of your voice, they also individually improve your breath
control and help to eliminate your “vocal break.” “What’s the vocal break”,
you ask? The vocal break is the area in your voice that cracks when you try
to sing higher. This is because you are straining unnecessarily. There is no
reason that you should have to strain to sing higher. Raise Your Voice 2nd
Edition will teach you to sing as high as you want with little effort and
without straining your voice!
Also revealed in this incredible book are the seven secret steps of the
Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition singing system. If you follow these seven
steps, your singing potential will skyrocket! You’ll also learn exercises
for creating vibrato, and “non-vocal” exercises for taming the tongue
(Tongue Pushups) and taming the larynx (The Bullfrog.) Plus, you’ll learn a
song dissecting technique called “Song-Mapping” that will teach you how to
break down any song into an easy-to-understand singing pattern.
“Song-Mapping” features the song “SKY” from Universal recording artist Sahaj
Ticotin and his band RA. And, last but not least, a printable diary for
keeping track of your daily progress.

A Note From Jaime:
Dear fellow singer,
What if I told you that I have discovered just about every well-kept secret
that the world’s greatest rock, pop, blues, and heavy metal singers, voice
coaches, and voice specialists have known for years? What if I told you that
I have spent 15 years and 1,000’s of dollars in vocal lessons, books, DVDs,
videos, and vocal programs, studying the voice and vocal production, and
have created a way for you to have access to ALL of this knowledge, while
investing far less time and money??? Would that grab your attention???
MY STORY Trial and error best describes my case, and I mean a lot of it! I have been
singing since I could talk, but I didn’t start seriously studying voice until 1988.
Around that time, I was singing in a cover band, 2-4 nights a week, and
doing fairly well, but I was having trouble hitting all of the high notes
with the same power and ease as all of my favorite singers. I listened to
the popular singers of that time, and was awed by their vocal ranges. I just
couldn’t figure out how they sang so easily, especially night after night of
touring. Singers like David Coverdale of Whitesnake, Marq Torien of the
BulletBoys, Steve Perry of Journey, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Jim Gillette
of Nitro, and Tony Harnell of TNT seemed to possess an uncanny natural
ability to sing higher, louder, longer and stronger than any other singer on
the planet, and I knew that they knew something I didn’t. My vocal
repertoire wasn’t limited to rock. We also performed pop, blues, and country
tunes, all of which I struggled through night after night. Even my speaking
voice began to deteriorate.
Although I didn’t have any of the answers to changing and saving my voice, I
kept singing songs too difficult for me, and the day after a gig, I could
hardly speak as a result of the strain on my voice. I could always sound
great that first night, belting out the songs and not worrying about the
consequences. I figured that was the way it affected everybody and figured
that I could learn to live with it. I thought that by “not speaking” for the
entire day of a gig, that my voice could handle one more show. Boy was I
wrong!
If we played the next night, I ALWAYS struggled. I tried cheating by singing
songs in falsetto instead of full voice, but Guns-N-Roses, Led Zeppelin,
Journey, Def Leppard and AC/DC just didn’t sound quite right when I sang
these songs with a weak falsetto. Although this made it easier for me to
sing night after night, my voice lacked the power and quality I had from
belting out the tunes.
So, I finally sought out a vocal coach from a local college only to be told
that there wasn’t a correct technique for rock singing and that my voice was
too low to ever sing what my heart desired.
So I thought to myself, “What should I do”? Push myself to sound great and
vocally suffer, or settle for the weak sound of my falsetto, just to save my
voice? I realized that I didn’t have to settle for either choice by making a
decision to find the answers myself! If other singers could sing with ease,
then anyone should be able to obtain the same results. I knew this had to be
true, especially since several of my favorite singers had very deep voices
when they spoke, and could sing extremely high. I was determined to find an
easier way, so I began my research to find any and all available information
about the voice.
I was obsessed with learning as much about voice as I possibly could. I took
private lessons, dissected books, studied different styles and techniques,
watched videos, and tried various vocal exercise routines. I even moved to
Hollywood, California to study voice at the Musician’s Institute.
Through years of experience and research, I have acquired an ENORMOUS amount
of information about singing and the voice. There were multitudes of
misconceptions about singing, and I’ve been through just about every single
one of them. After over fifteen years of seriously studying the voice and
figuring out what did and did not work for me, I decided to write down (in a
journal) everything I could ever want to know about singing. Although I
originally intended this to be a journal for my personal use only, positive
feedback from singers and friends with whom I’ve shared my findings, finally
convinced me that this journal was too important to be kept to myself!
Thus my book, Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition was created.
But my journey didn’t stop there. My thirst for vocal knowledge was so
intense that I created a website called The Voice Connection, to publish my
findings and share vocal knowledge with others. By giving free voice
lessons, studying and reviewing voice related books, DVDs, and products, and
interviewing professional singers, vocal coaches, and voice doctors, I was
able to help other singers while advancing my own passion for knowledge as
well. What I have learned so far is astonishing! (You NEVER stop learning!)
I have found ways to dramatically improve the power, range, and quality of
the voice without spending years developing “the perfect voice” and spending
hundreds of dollars on vocal training.
In the first year of The Voice Connection, (before Raise Your Voice 2nd
Edition was released) I found myself in a situation in which I had to have
neck surgery due to two herniated discs. After surgery, my neck was very
stiff and tight and I had to develop a particular way to warm up my voice
and release neck tension that would benefit me personally. Alas, the Vocal
Stress Release warm up program was created. I have seen astonishing results
with this system. This unique system stretches, strengthens, and relaxes all
of the muscles involved in voice production. I created a sort of “vocal
yoga”, if you will.
But the Vocal Stress Release program is only one of MANY aspects. Another
incredible discovery was developed from my interviews with professional
singers. Through the dissection of their voices-I was able to create The
Singer’s Checklist, which is a guide for protecting and strengthening a
touring singer’s voice. These two points in the book are worth the price of
the book alone!
The Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition program has been so successful that I even
have endorsements from some of the world's most respected singers and vocal
coaches. They wouldn't use the product and endorse it if it didn't work.
Yours in music, Jaime Vendera
More Testimonials About Jaime Vendera and RAISE YOUR
VOICE, 2nd Edition:
"I’ve been singing as long as I can remember and I have always felt pretty good
about my singing voice. When I took lessons from Jaime, he helped to teach me to
pay more attention to my voice. When I actually started listening, I couldn’t
believe to changes! I noticed that I could be lazy at times, but that all
changed.
When I read Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition I really learned a lot about my
instrument, especially how to care and protect my voice. I like to party with my
friends, but now I realize what an effect drinking and smoking have had on my
voice. Besides, I could never fool Jaime when we had a voice lesson and I was
hung over. He ALWAYS let me know. I’m very thankful for his guidance. By
changing the way I look at my voice and treating my voice with respect, by not
drinking and smoking, I have improved my voice tremendously."
---Christina Butler-vocal student

"I can’t believe the changes in my voice! He had me hitting notes in the very 1st
lesson I never thought was possible. His exercises are amazing. There is so much
that goes into singing that I didn’t realize. I had band practice right after my
1st lesson and my band was like “ Man, your voice sounds great. What are you
doing different?” I told them about Jaime Vendera and his techniques. They were
totally blown away by what I told them I had learned. I was able to sing all
night without losing my voice.
After several lessons, I convinced Jaime to let me read his book. The voice
lessons were just the tip of the iceberg. Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition has so
much information, you could read it 100 times and learn something new each time!
---Ray Dickerson-vocal student
* * * * *
A couple of years ago I was working in a music store when I ran into a guy
looking through the Judas Priest CDs. Just by chance, I happened to say, “Man
I’d kill to be able to sing like that!” So the guy sort of looked at me and
said, “ Oh yeah? You should come buy and try my program sometime. I guarantee
you won’t have to kill anyone.” Well, that guy was Jaime Vendera, and less than
a year later I was auditioning for bands…singing Judas Priest songs.
Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition is the real deal. Using the Falsetto Slide,
Transcending Tone, and The Siren exercises will improve your voice
exponentially, if you are willing to put the work in. Within the 1st two months
of using Jaime’s exercises I had increased my full voice range by four notes,
while working up to a Soprano high C in my falsetto register.
So if you are as desperate to improve your voice as I was, stop dreaming and
start reading Raise Your Voice right now!
-Aaron Straker-vocal student
By implementing the Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition program, Aaron was able to
increase the range of his voice by eight notes, his very first lesson! He went
from an E above middle C (a typical break point for males) up to a full Tenor
high C, in FULL VOICE… WITHOUT STRAINING!!!

"Hey everyone, this book really does kick ass and Jaime is a great guy. It’s
amazing actually being able to email someone with this much knowledge and get a
response. I have been singing for about a year. I have really had no formal
training or vocal teacher but this has helped me learn much about my voice. So
far, I have been able to hold out 20-30 second screams and go back into singing
just fine. My range has become very strong. I now sing from a G3 to a A5, and I
can go into the 6's and 7's in falsetto.
What Jaime has is Gold. This is literally been the most useful thing I have ever
bought. You will actually be able to feel the muscle power in your voice. Thanks
a lot Jaime, hopefully we will get signed one day and I’ll reach 3 octaves and
you will interview us. Then you'll ask how did you learn to sing, and I’ll say,
reading "Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition" and a few slippery elms.
Thanks Jamie!"

"It's an amazing book! With Jaime's lessons, I've learned to sing clearer, more
powerful and I've learned "the raspy" voice in just 3 weeks! If you really want
to learn how to sing great, then this is the book for you. It's true what Jaime
says: Anybody can sing! It's like playing an instrument: you just have to train
to be better!
I just want to say:
Thank you Jaime, for teaching me (and many others) how to sing! "
---Anton Fladvad

"Jamie,
Hey, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of the help that you have given me!
We have a couple of songs where I wanted to challenge myself and try to reach
notes that are a little difficult for me to hit. When we first came out with the
songs, the notes weren't very hard to reach- a challenge, but reachable. As we
played out more and more, it seemed that I was having more difficulty getting up
to those notes and, it soon got to the point where I just cracked all over the
place when I tried to hit them.
Then I was introduced to you, and you introduced me to your Vocal Stress Release
section of your book. The exercises not only are helping me to strengthen my
voice, I can now sing louder and higher than I used to, and with less effort so
I can sing longer and hold out notes longer as well.
Thank you very much for all your help- I can now hit those once unreachable
notes every time!!!"
--Seth Kelley, Lead Singer, CRUTCH

"Before I started reading and working out of Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition, I
could barely sing at all. I basically owe my voice to the knowledge in this
book, as well as diligently working with Jaime’s methods. If I hadn’t found RYV,
I probably would have given up learning how to sing. Instead, I have made a
tremendous improvement in my vocal technique and strength in the past year. I am
continually surprised by the gains I am making in range and power. I am now
confident that my progress will continue and that I will achieve my goal to
become a great professional singer. Thanks!"
---Dave Cardwell

"I've been using RYV exercises sporadically, and they always work. Even if I have
not used it as a systematic routine I have had great gains, especially in the
quality of my voice. Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition has allowed me to develop my
own style, because it has helped me get rid of limitations within my range.
Jaime's explanations are clear, the audio examples are of great help and the
visualizations he uses hit just the right spot. Apart from the system itself,
Jaime gives a complete body of knowledge that is of great help in desperate
situations. Thanks to all of this I went from HATING my voice to being able to
not only like it but hearing how it has improved."
Sincerely yours,

"I have been working with exercises in the Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition book
(RYV) for three months now and I don’t think I’ve ever sounded better. After
using the RYV warm-up exercises I can sing right through my vocal break and sing
higher than ever before. Jaime’s website, The Voice Connection, is a great
extension to RYV where you can learn more about the RYV system with audio,
videos, interviews, forums and more. Granted I still have a lot to learn, but I
feel the progress I have made in such a short time has given me the confidence I
need to reach my vocal goals. Thanks, Jamie "
Sincerely,

"I really found Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition to be one of the most amazing books
about the voice. It really gave me a whole new way of looking at singing. On top
of the book being great, the videos, which you get access to online once you
purchase the book are really incredible no other voice coach does this except
Jaime! Get Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition you won't regret it!"

"Jaime Vendera's 'Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition' is to singers what John
Petrucci's 'Rock Discipline' is to guitarists. It proves that even in modern
rock music, a solid foundation in proper technique is essential. When I was 15,
I wanted to sing more than anything else. Having listened to the progressive
rock group Dream Theater for many years, I was intrigued by the amazingly high
notes James LaBrie could sing- seemingly with ease. Since my mother is an opera
singer, I asked her to show me the basics. During the first lesson, we soon
found out that I was a 'bass', because I could not sing any higher than an E4
without embarrassingly cracking into falsetto. My mother told me that I was
stuck with this range, and had to live with singing bass parts. I was
devastated, because I thought my dream of singing as high and powerfully as
James LaBrie would never come true.
It was only when I heard of Jaime Vendera and 'Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition'
that I regained some hope. I posted a question on his internet forum asking
whether I, as a bass, could ever sing in the tenor range or higher. Sure enough,
Mr. Vendera himself promptly replied and said "If you put in enough work, of
course you can!!" Naturally, I had to order 'Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition' to
find out if he was right. When it arrived, I eagerly read the entire book in one
day, and soon started to practice the voice exercises and adopt beneficial
habits for vocal health. You know what? He WAS right! After a year and a half of
dedicated practicing, these are my results:
-My range has increased from E2-E4 to E1-E5 (!!)
-I don't crack on high notes anymore
-I can sustain notes much longer
-I can produce a much more resonant tone
-I can sing the whole day without feeling any vocal fatigue
-I have developed a natural-sounding vibrato
-I have learned about how the voice works
Also, Jaime Vendera is one of the few voice coaches who actually teach how to
use grit and growl effects when singing- and how to use it properly! Many
classical singers I have encountered have claimed that singing with grit
automatically equals bad technique and vocal strain. But what only few people
know is that you actually NEED good technique for it to work without hurting
yourself!
'Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition' has been an invaluable tool for reaching my goals
as a singer, and I strongly recommend it to anyone else who wants to tear down
vocal boundaries."

"My name is Dave Gibbons and I'm a vocalist/guitarist based in Sydney, Australia.
I'm a "well-seasoned" rocker and have been working as a pro musician since the
70s. I come from the same Aussie-Rock era as AC/DC and made my bones doing the
same circuit here in Oz. I toured Europe and the UK in the 70s (and am still
constantly amazed at having survived it all)!
Career highlights include supporting Chuck Berry and Billy Joel on their
respective Australian tours and working with various luminaries of the Rock
scene in a major recording studio.
These days I still do about 180 gigs a year in clubs and pubs in and around
Sydney, mostly doing covers of 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's hits and some original
material, in a duo. It's all a little tame for me but it's still music and a
living while I'm working on the "Big Break"... just kidding!
I've been diligently working on a program to rehabilitate my voice; years of
misuse and abuse had taken their toll and basically I was starting to sound like
Cocker on Valium! I had laryngeal surgery for nodules some years ago, mainly
from concerns over where it might all end up. My voice has been in decline for
the last 10 years or so. Rather than just accept the "inevitable" I decided to
get serious about fixing my bad habits and rehabbing my voice.
I decided to try Jaime Vendera's Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition program. So, it's
been about 6 weeks since I started doing Jaime's program and results thus far
include;
1. "repaired" the black-hole in my voice where I'd "lost" three semi-tones
between chest voice and head.
2. added 8 semitones to the top and 5 semi tones to the bottom range of my full
voice (that's over an octave in 6 weeks)!
3. huge reduction in breath pressure on cords and breathy high notes. 4. Vocal
fatigue at gigs gone... completely... gone!
Jaime, I know it's still early days but I just thought you might be interested
on how it was going.
Thanks again for a great program, let me know if there's anything I can do for
you."
Cheers,
Dave.
