OT: Vocal Training

I would like to work on my overall singing ability. Does anyone know any cheap (but good) training CD's that are readily available? I would like to practice while driving. I really need to work on my power and control.

I simply don't have enough time to take vocal lessons.

Thanks

    I would like to learn to sing. My voice is so bad when I go to karaoke friends stop my songs! If anyone knows of books, CD, or learning programmes, tips please let us know.

    This has CDs so you can hear the examples:
    Singing for the Stars: A Complete Program for Training Your Voice

    Here's an oldy but goody (no CD, you'll need a teacher):
    CLIPPINGER, D. A.: The Clippinger Class-Method of Voice Culture

    It's really best to do this with a teacher / coach, people develop such bad habits, it good to see how it's done correctly.

    Very sound advice, Ed. Please take heed, MKS!

    Good luck and have fun!

    Not to revive an ancient post, but check out Septien Vocal Productions.

    Expensive, but very helpful. I bought these and practiced with them about 10 hours a week for 2 months. I was a phenominally terrible singer. I am now proudly a mediocre singer (trust me, a WORLD of improvement).

    I have personal individual tapes, I've made on my own, with professional vocal techniques and exercises, from various community & university colleges. I'm a certified vocal performer/private teacher. I am also studying to become a vocal ed. insructor. I have a year or less to go, though, before I begin my student/assistant-teaching. Anyway, here goes something I've been wondering about getting into: www.kellysmusicandcomputers.com 1-888-562-8822 kelly music.ca You may want to inquire about "Singing Coach or "Singing Coach Unlimited". I personally would suggest that you enroll in a beginner's class for voice in a college near you. I hope this helps you out. There is much more to singing, than just singing. It is not only an art...Singing is a physiological-science, as well as a philological art of the sciences too.
    It's more complicated for a non-musician to comprehend. However, in my humble opinioin, anyone can become a 'better' singer with proper warm-ups, practice, professional coaching, and theoretical ear-training. There is a myriad of technological-devices that factor into the production of singing correctly and beautifully. I've been singing all of my life. I love it! Take care.
