I bought this in the beginning and wasn’t sure… practiced all summer with it prior to our band rehearsals and in the car and improved my singing so much I had the best confidence. A week before our big gig (this is not to share it’s a personal item) I was telling our band mate that this device was what made my voice. I reluctantly let him borrow it and didn’t get it back before our big show and I was so unconfident without it to practice prior. That won’t eve happen again. I’ve order a few to have so I have back ups. You won’t be disappointed with getting this !!
I haven’t sang in a long time and I am so excited to use my Vocal trainer to progress . What a great tool to have and I been practicing everyday. Every little bit helps.
Highly recommend.
I play 25 times a month and this device carries my load…very impressive and as advertised! Gotta love it…
It’s impractical to carry a water bottle and straw everywhere. This portable trainer allows me to warm up in the car on the way to rehearsal or a gig. Makes a great difference. Thanks!
Definitely noticing a difference. I can warm up quicker and hit notes easier.
I am a professional musician and have been for the last 40+ years. I was a voice major while majoring in music at college. Teaching acoustic guitar (with a focus on playing guitar and singing at the same time) one of the features I offer is along with printed material I record what the student will be practicing and forward that to them as a sound file. Listening to those sound files in recent years I've noticed a significantly diminished result in the overall quality of my singing. Not as much volume, control of dynamics and I found myself straining to hit notes in the upper part of my register. This was scary and I attributed it to not exactly being a youngster anymore. Then I noticed an add for the Vocal Trainer. I admit I was more than a bit skeptical at first but hey, what did I have to lose? Almost immediately I noticed an improvement in my control over long passages. But at the end of two weeks (following the maker's many wonderful practice and application suggestions) I heard significant overall improvement in all aspects of my singing. The most impressive thing was that I was not straining to hit the higher notes in songs, so much so that I reintroduced songs to my repertoire that I'd given up on. Best of all, students, friends and quite a few listeners at gigs became very complimentary about my vocal performance, yeah!!! The device is easy to use but do adjust to the settings with more resistance gradually. My Voice Trainer comes with a great little padded case and it is required equipment before I do a show. I just keep mine in my car and on the way to an engagement I use it as I'm driving, sometimes doing a suggested exercise or two or "singing" along with a song playing on the radio. The result is I'm always warmed up and ready to take the stage. It is elegant in design and small enough to stick in my pocket. I'm not exaggerating in the least when I say my Vocal Trainer has given me back my singing voice. Buy one, follow the suggested exercises and I'd bet you will have the same experience.
I was a bit sceptical, but thought I would give this a try. My voice was sounding and feeling more tired as I've gotten older. I just tried it once prior to going to Church and singing with the congregation. I noticed significant improvement in the quality of my voice. I will keep exercising with it and am very pleased so far.
I’ve had several of my students purchase this device. It is superior to the straw method, I’m so glad I have found the vocal trainer.
I started adding the VT to my regiment of warm-ups and exercises, not replacing them totally, but supplementing the routines my voice is already used to.
I have also started using it to target challenging areas in songs that are on the regular set list, this seems to be whittling away the the problem spots.
I believe this is a great tool for reducing tension and training your voice to relax, specifically to relax right about the time your instincts are to tense up.
So far this is looking like perfect device to un-program bad habits and re-program proper muscle memory, motor skills, and good habits.
The manufacturer could go one step further and shape the mouth piece end in an oval, so the end-user has a more ergonomic embouchure to contend with.
As a performing vocalist, the Trainer provides an optimal way to warm up thoroughly yet quietly. I’m at full capacity when commencing a performance and I know it.
I’m also using the Trainer in a generalised way-in vocal sessions, day to day activities etc.
I’ve purchased three for my band mates and we’re all in! Highly recommended!
Using straw technique is cool but not convenient. This device is the perfect to-go, on the road, etc. Vocal trainer that works and I keep giving it as a gift to others!
I usually have 20-30 min of driving to do for a gig. I pop the Vocal Trainer in my mouth and my favorite album and hum through the tracks. Super portable and accurately advertised
I’m truly amazed at the difference the vocal trainer has made. I’ve noticed many benefits. I’m a musician and do harmonies in the church band, I would certainly not classify myself as a singer. I do feel using the vocal trainer along with songs on the radio has helped my ear to be on tune, because if you’re a little off it sounds like a lot off while doing the exercises lol. My breathing has improved. I can see that this would help you have better strength with you voice in just the short time I’ve used it. I practice while driving to work. One day I thought I had lost it, I was very distraught at the thought of it being gone! But I did find it under the seat in my car thankfully. I highly recommend the vocal trainer even if you aren’t a great singer. It helps anyway.
This tool is a great way to focus and narrow, in my case, 4 years of lessons. I am a tenor and being able to sing up to E5 comfortably is such a freeing thing. My breath support and control is improving as well as the transitions from chest, mix, and head are smoother. I am very pleased I saw this tool. It has been a god-send in my daily exercise and technique routine.
I would highly recommend it for singers beginners and professional alike.
Can definitely feel the reverbribration in my head tones! Enjoying it already after only about 2 weeks. Hope it continues to increase my head voice notes!
When I ordered the voice trainer the autofill put my home address for delivery. Almost immediately an email in with my order notated And I replied to that email that I wanted them to ship to my temporary address. I also went online and found their website and contacted them regarding my predicament. Subsequently, I received more emails from them and I repeated our story asking for them to change the address and to confirm. So first of all, the email with my order came from an email address that you could reply to unlike many many order confirmations that you can't reply to. Secondly, I got four separate replies that they had changed the address for me. So every single person that I had emailed to ok the time to fix my problem. I am greatly impressed at their attention to detail. This is a long lost art in American retail, but they have certainly cultivated it.
