Kwesi Called Us

Success Story: Kwesi Williams "Hi this is Kwecy Williams. In 2005, I served as the Youth Minister at one of the alegence of the manual covenant church at Maryland. I was informed that we would be doing a live recording at the end of the year and I had about six months to prepare myself. I knew that I had some problems with pitch and so I got online and I started searching out programmes that would help me with my pitch and I discovered Singorama. I got Singorama, worked with Perfect Your Pitch Pro - the results were wonderful and dramatic!  We did record the project and I lead two of the songs that featured on the project of the Manual Covenant Church Live In Worship.  So I highly recommend Singorama for those that want to work with their pitch.  I do have to say that I got so much more than what I was looking for. Singorama also helped me with my timing and with reading music. I'm also featured as a writer on the project. The tools of Singorama definitely helped me to put together songs that are worthy of being recorded.  Thanks!" -- Kwesi Williams (Maryland, USA)

Success Story: Christine Adamson "Hello! My name is Christine and I am 27 years old. When I was a child i was always singing no matter where I was. I knew I would be singer and perform on a stage. But then came my teenage life. I still knew I want to sing, my heart told me so, but my mind was telling me that I would never be a great performer and singer, I would never sing on the big stage and I would never have lots of fans. This all is for lucky ones, not for a girl who lives so far from America and lives in a small village. And I listened to my mind not my heart. I was so stupid (sorry for this word).  All my dreams about singing just vanished and I put my dream of life away. Till now!!! One day, I woke up and realized that singing will make my life complete. This is why I am here on this planet, this is what I was meant to do.  Now, I can see it very clearly and that is why I bought your singing program. I bought your program in the next day and started to learn and sing. I sang every day and every month even when I was ill. I enjoyed all the exercises that I practiced. I followed every step you told me to do. But I wasn't just practicing these exercises.  As I was singing, I listened to what kind of sound came out; what happens with my tongue and throat - every small detail. First changes I felt after a month. I was always singing in a heady voice. I had a weak, breathy tone. I couldn't sing long sentences, because of my breath control. Some notes I sang in my nose. But after that month I started to sing in my chest voice, it became stronger and deeper. High notes weren’t causing that much problems like before. I could sing higher. Then after lesson two I found my mix voice and that was a big moment of happiness for me. But I was still struggling with my breaks. Sometimes I just couldn't get into this break smoothly and nice. But I didn't give up. I was especially working on these break problems. Now it is almost perfect!!! It's been five months and I have been practicing singing with your program and I sing very well now. With every passing day, I learn something new about my voice and every day it becomes stronger and better. I am still practicing warm-up lessons and style lessons.  It is so fun and interesting to find out how far your voice can go and how good it can be.   But I don't want to stop on that. This is my dream and I want to move on to the next level. The most important thing is NOT for me to have a perfect voice just to get a lot of money and be popular. No!!! I want to have this strong and good voice for myself - for my soul, heart and my fans.  I want to sing and feel that my heart and soul are dancing in me; also to feel lucky and loved.  Only then will I feel truly fulfilled. Thank you for living on this earth and helping people to find their true voices inside them. You have helped make their dreams come true.  You are the greatest.  You have my respect." -- Christine Adamson  Yes! I want to Experience Success!

Listen to his song below left... Yes, hello. My name is John Elsfelder. I have been very successful with your course. I am very pleased. I actually was able to improve my voice and go into a studio and record a song that I wrote and I am trying to make it in the business, even at my age. I'm 48 years old, but I am going to do it. And I had a great time in the studio and I can even send you my song, so you can hear how good it sounds. I think the course is awesome. I love the technique about warm-ups, I really liked that. It really has helped me. In fact, I did that before I actually went into the studio. Anyway, I have a finished song, and I'm going to do 3 Christmas songs, hand them out to my family for Christmas on December 9th, and on December 16th I am going into the studio to record 2 more songs that I have written. I have written 9 songs so far. I just want to make it into the business, I'm trying to get on the radio. Everyone that has listened to my song loves it, and if I could get radio airplay it would be a hit. I'm just trying to make it and your course has really helped me a lot. I really, really am glad that I bought your course. -- John Elsfelder (United States) Success Story: Jessica Stephens "I did an internet search of online singing courses and found Singorama to be the best thing for me. It has really helped save my voice, and especially helped me sing through the “breaks” in my voice without damaging anything!" My name is Jessica. I’ve been a singer for years and years, since I was very little. I’ve sung in various choirs, ensembles, professional theatres, won awards in competitions and so on. I’ve been classically trained, but I have sung many different kinds of music. A few months ago I was working for a professional theatre in North Carolina and had seven performances a week with very little to no warm up time, and no understudies! Needless to say, this was taking a toll on my voice. I am a first soprano and can usually hit an “F” over high “C” but I was lucky if I could hit a “D”—and it was really starting to hurt. I needed help. I needed to go back to the basics and re-learn, but I didn’t have much money, the nearest city was half an hour away, and I travel quite a lot so a voice teacher was out of the question. I did an internet search of online singing courses and found Singorama to be the best thing for me. It has really helped save my voice, and especially helped me sing through the “breaks” in my voice without damaging anything! Currently, I am part of an international choir in Seoul, and am able to hit the high notes, no problem! I would very much like to say thank you to everyone on the Singorama team! -- Jessica Stephens (United States) John Called Us uccess Story: John Shea "A new dimension in theatre is now open to me. I am so grateful and totally attribute it to your course!" Folks, I have been involved in community theatre for many, many years, both as an actor and as a techie. I've performed a wide variety of roles and done many different design and support jobs, but I never had the courage to audition for a musical part. I have always sung, could find and keep a pitch, and remember melodies, but my range was limited and I could not get volume without strain. It has always been a source of regret that I did not have what I thought it took to perform musically. Recently, I stage managed a production of Side Show, which has some glorious music and is sung throughout. I found myself so moved by the wonderful performances that I decided that I must force myself to audition sometime soon. But I knew that I needed help to improve my skills. I started looking for a vocal coach, but that was a tedious and frustrating exercise. And then I found Singorama on the web and decided to give it a try. The instructions were easy to follow and made sense. The exercises were engaging and not hard to stick with. Now, I am no spring chicken, and wasn't sure that much improvement was even possible. But it wasn't long at all before I started feeling results. By the time I had been at it a month, my range had started to extend, and not only higher, which I was expecting, but lower as well. But even more importantly, I learned how to understand what was happening physically and how to control what I did, so that I could expand and support my voice until it felt stageworthy. So, I went to a musical audition for the very first time and I rocked! I was confident, I felt wonderful, and my friends were amazed. Of course, I didn't get cast, but that is so not the point. My success is that I can now audition, I know that I will get cast and perform, and a new dimension in theatre is now open to me. I am so grateful and totally attribute it to your course! Thank you, -- John Shea (Leesburn, VA, United States) Success Story: Glenda Rose "I'd highly recommend this program for anyone who is interested in improving their singing" My name is Glenda Rose and I want to tell you how great Singorama is.  I first purchased the program when I became involved in the music ministry at my church.  At the time, we were using CDs and singing with them, but I wasn't satisfied with that. We had talented musicians (I myself play piano, and we have an incredible lead guitarist and percussionist), but without the backup singers on the CDs there was no confidence in our small group of singers. I started using Singorama and it helped me help our group by learning warm up techniques that I could share and also by helping my ear training. I love the game-like pitch training module.  It helped me hear the harmony lines better which let us get away from using CD backups and create our own sound as a group. I'd highly recommend this program for anyone who is interested in improving their singing. -- Glenda Lynn Rose (Austin, Texas, United States) John Called Us And Left The Success Story: Adam Price "I've gone from being a pure beginner to coming third out of 100 competitors where 40 or so were quite strong singers!" My name is Adam and I've been singing for about a year now and have gone from being a pure beginner to coming third out of 100 competitors where 40 or so were quite strong singers! When I first started to learn how to sing I just went to karaoke bars and blasted out a tune, a lot of the time in a very strained way, because I never new how sound worked in the first place. Then after a while a few of the singers mentioned I should get singing lessons as I had a good base voice with potential. Not being someone who wanted to go and get lessons from a teacher, I turned to the internet and found Singorama.  I have to say their singing tools and explanations of how sound works (which I never had any understanding of before) or what articulators and resonators were in my voice and how they effectively created an "unstrained" sound. But from the audio ebooks that you supplied - combined with the real world examples that I could follow along with - was a real breath of fresh air. By doing what the book suggested and practicing the various scales, pitches and metronomes for 2 x 15 minute sessions daily and implementing what I learn into my songs, I discovered the bridge from just doing the exercise to adapting the exercises into my songs. My voice become stronger and stronger and I was able to hit notes that I never thought I would and produce sounds that shocked the heck out of everyone who heard me sing. I get praise now from many people when I sing in karaoke competitions.  One judge even asked me "who is your teacher" and I must say I was proud to tell them I learn from a company online called "Singorama", to which she replied... "WOW!  They really know their stuff, congratulations you have a beautiful voice.” Overall, I have to say that if you follow each lesson in Singorama from beginner to advanced you're going to learn a "heck of a lot" about musical notes and why it's so important to understand music in singing. You'll also learn how to produce sound, articulate and breath so that you don't run out of air on the high and big notes in songs (which I used to constantly do before this course) and so much more that I could write for a whole day on what I've learnt. Thank you so much Singorama for developing me from a pure beginner to someone who can hold his own on stage with very developed and seasoned entertainers. I would highly recommend you and your thorough course to anyone considering using it and "sticking" with the program step-by-step, that's the key. -- Adam Price (Australia} These are just a few of the hundreds of success stories that we've received.

I need Singorama Right Away!   The great news for you is that we've created our comprehensive Singorama 2.0 Interactive Audio course with YOU in mind so that you'll get immensely satisfying results fast! Here's a run down of the core set of 28 audio lessons (yes, there is a LOT more in this course beyond these lessons): Audio Lesson 1 Introduction and how to understand your own voice This first section will help you Get Started as a Singer. You’ll come to understand your own voice, where you are at, and what you are capable of. You'll also find out what exercises you need to do to warm your voice up before we get into the more nitty-gritty vocal technique. Audio Lesson 2 Warm ups and strengthening the voice In this lesson, we will focus on warming up and teach you some great vocal strengthening exercises. We hope that you are excited to get into the great content we have for you. This lesson is going to be very beneficial to you as a singer. The warm-ups and strengthening exercises we have for you in this lesson can be learned and when you have mastered them - they will keep your voice strong and ready to sing. The ability to warm up and the strengthening your voice are paramount. You will dramatically improve most areas of your voice if you take the time to practice these techniques. Audio Lesson 3 Breathing and Posture Your breathing will affect your vocal tone as well as your pitch. That's why today we are focusing on Breathing and Posture. While Lesson 2 is about learning incredibly easy and effective warm ups that help strengthen your voice and add flexibility, the third lesson covers breathing techniques and correct posture for singers. In the last couple of lessons, we talked a little about breathing and just how important it is to have the correct support and control. As a singer, your breathing greatly affects your performance because it’s the flow of air which makes it possible for you to produce sound in the first place! Thus, the goals for this lesson are to: • Understand the importance of correct breathing technique and posture • Learn how to breathe from your entire body • Learn the effects of using proper breathing techniques • Learn how to “ground” yourself to produce a fuller sound. Audio Lesson 4 Tone Now we’re moving on to the nitty-gritty of vocal technique. From this section onwards, you’re going to learn everything you need to know about tone, pitch, as well as your chest and head voices.  This stuff may seem easy to brush off, but these lessons will actually give you the best basis for producing a professional sounding voice. After all, the foundation is the most important aspect of singing. Audio Lesson 5 Pitch, Staying in Tune The first goal for this lesson is to understand the difference between pitch and tone (terms which are often confused with each other), and how to avoid singing sharp or flat. We will teach you how to use your newly acquired support and control techniques to achieve this. Then we’ll tell you about perfect pitch, which is a rare gift, and “relative pitch,” which is something every singer can aspire to AND achieve. So the overall goal for this lesson is to develop your own “mental ear.” Then you can understand relative pitch and hear when a sound - most importantly your own singing voice - is not reaching notes or singing over the pitch it should be. Audio Lesson 6 Chest voice and head voice This next lesson is about your two different voices: your chest voice and your head voice. The overall goal for this lesson is to understand the difference between these two so-called “voices” you have. But more importantly you want to learn how to bridge and blend your two voices so you have a connected voice throughout your entire vocal range. Audio Lesson 7 Bad Habits to AVOID There are probably bad habits that you can't help but make and will be destructive to your voice. Here is where you discover the most common bad habits that many singers have.  This will make you more aware of them and avoid falling into the same old traps in the future. Not only will you learn how to identify bad habits (and learn how to avoid them), you’ll also establish GOOD overall practice habits when singing. Audio Lesson 8 Extending your vocal range: Part 1 Although other lessons in the Singorama course will certainly help improve your vocal range, this lesson (along with Lesson 22) is specifically focused on how your vocal range actually works. It also includes several powerful exercises that you can practice with AND ultimately increase your vocal range in the process - most likely by an octave at the very least! Audio Lesson 9 Time signatures, key signatures and rhythm This lesson marks the start of the next section of the course which covers the technical side of music. The goals for this lesson are really important and will be very worthwhile if you wish to train further as a singer. After this lesson you should be able to: • Understand the different technical elements of a piece of music, not to mention… • Learn how to visually recognize different time signatures • Learn how to hear the difference between different time signatures • Learn how to identify the key signature of the music • Learn the different types of musical notes • Understand how to learn the rhythm of a piece of music Audio Lesson 10 Major and minor keys; Solfege By this lesson, we'll be well into learning about the technical side of music and music theory. This lesson is all about major and minor keys and scales, as well as a system called Solfege. Much of this lesson will be building on things that we talked about in the previous lessons about time signatures, key signatures and rhythm. The goals for this lesson are to understand the difference between major and minor keys, scales, and to be able to hear the differences as well. Also, an important goal is to learn and understand the Solfege system and how it can help you in your singing training now and in the future. Audio Lesson 11 Intervals and Solfege In this lesson, we’ll focus on the Solfege system and how to ingrain it into your memory. As you gain a better grasp of Solfege and put it into practice, you’ll find that reading music, picking up harmonies and learning songs is a breeze. We have taken the difficulty out of all that dry music theory and come up with some fun and easy ways to get the competitive edge over all those other singers out there. The goal for this lesson is to understand the importance of learning Solfege when trying to “memorize” intervals and learn the tricks for remembering different intervals. We will be teaching you the tricks to learn a song without having to hear it first. This will benefit you greatly as it will improve your musical ear and help you with harmonising as well.  This way, you’ll be able to sing the correct notes in the right keys. Audio Lesson 12 Different styles of singing This lesson provides an overview of some of the different ways you can use your voice to produce various sounds. We will be exploring how to manipulate and change your voice to produce exciting and different effects. When flicking through different radio stations that play rock, opera, jazz, musical theatre or pop, you’ll find an amazing variety of songs and voices which differ greatly from each other. The art of manipulating your voice and accompanying differently arranged backing instruments is something that you can learn. When you learn to how to use your voice more fully, you will increase your versatility as a singer and make yourself more employable to boot! The ability to sing a variety of different styles can be especially useful when auditioning for musical theatre. Often performers will need to sing a range of styles within a show. Audio Lesson 13 How to Become Sensational At Singing Harmony - Everyone will want to sing with YOU! Very few singing courses deal with harmony since it’s not as easy as it sounds. Luckily, we’ll break it all down and make it easy for you to understand – not to mention provide numerous tracks for you to listen to and practice with. With Singorama, you'll discover how to make your harmony sound like a true professional. We'll also familiarize you with different chord progressions and cadences. Hearing melodies and their harmonies within the chords will eventually become second nature to you! You'll also learn the important things to avoid when singing harmony. This is to eliminate clashing between parts and allow you to sing your harmony to the composer's desired effect! Whether you’re singing as part of a church choir or a barbershop quartet, there are many reasons why you may wish to learn harmony. Whatever they are, Singorama's harmony section contains a comprehensive, practical guide to the topic. Audio Lesson 14 How to Sing Different Genres of Music We will look at how vocals are used in different genres and some of their defining characteristics. We will also touch on the difference between different styles of singing and different genres of music. Audio Lesson 15 Understanding the meaning of a song - Part 1 lyrics and overall tone These next few lessons will cover everything you need to know when it comes to learning a song from scratch all the way to adopting your own style of performance. Of course, we’ll also give you some great tips on how to make a song your own. So the goals for this lesson are: • Understand the significance of learning the meaning of a song — you want to make a connection with the audience • Learn how to read into the meaning of the lyrics themselves and understand the message • Learn how to recognize the overall tone of the piece The most amazing musical performances (whether live or recorded) are those where the performer makes a connection with the audience through the words and music while conveying a message through the song. Audio Lesson 16 Understanding the meaning of a song (Part 2): emotions conveyed through music and how to put your personality into a song In Lesson 15, we began looking at understanding a song’s meaning. We focused on the lyrics and the overall tone of a song. By this lesson, you will have already interpreted three poems and decided on the writer's overall feeling and message.  This will enable you to move on to the second part of understanding the meaning of a song. This lesson is about conveying emotions through music and how to put your personality into the song. Now that you know the overall feel of the music and have the lyrics, it’s time for you to know how to express them to the audience The goals for this lesson are to: • Understand the role of the singer: to convey a message to the audience • Learn how to recognize the different emotions expressed in a song through both the music and the lyrics • Learn how to understand the flow and movement of the song, and • Learn how to express the emotions in your own performance of the song. Audio Lesson 17 Making a song your own In this lesson, we will show you how to change a song, add to a song, and use stylistic aspects to turn the song into something that you can be remembered for. The goals for this lesson are: • Use what you will learn in this lesson so you can personalize a song • Understand the importance of having your own interpretation of a song • Learn how to let your personality come through when you are singing Think of American Idol - the judges always tell the contestants about how they want to “see their personalities come through when they are singing.” They don’t want them to just stand and recite a great song. They want the WOW factor. They want to see something that elicits emotion and makes people remember their performance. For this lesson, we really want you to get excited about what you as a performer can do with a song. Coming up, you’re going to learn the technical aspects of how to learn a song. While the technical aspects are essential, they certainly aren’t as much fun as putting your stamp on a piece of music. So this is the precursor to the critical technical foundation. Audio Lesson 18 Learning a full song - Part 1 Singing a song isn't as easy as following the notes. In addition to all the vocal training needed to get one’s voice to produce the best possible sounds, a singer must also study a piece of music like an actor does with a script! Not only must you figure out the key that the music is written in, you must figure out the tempo, dynamics and style. You must figure out the meaning of the lyrics, where to emphasize certain words or sounds, and where to take a breath. You may think, “Why bother with all this when I can just listen to a recording of the song and copy it?” That's perfectly fine -- if you don't what to become a real singer. Could you imagine someone playing Hamlet by mechanically replicating other actors' performances, rather than reading and understanding the play? You need to understand what makes a song tick, where its heart lies, and where it offers untapped opportunities for your unique vocal qualities to shine. By breaking down a song yourself, you'll become the expert -- rather than passing the buck on to another singer. As a result, your vocal interpretation will be creative, unique, and entirely your own. In this vital lesson, we’ll be teaching you the first four steps for learning a song. These first four steps cover the technical elements of a song. These are important to grasp first before you add your style and make the song your own.  When you have mastered these steps, you’ll be able to put everything you have learned from Lesson 17 into practice. The goals for this lesson are to: • Understand the different elements of a song • Learn the first things to look for when seeing a song for the first time • Learn the first four steps for learning a song: the technical side Audio Lesson 19 Learning a full song - Part 2 This lesson will give you the final four steps to learning a song. In it, we are going to focus on stylistic features. Also, we will introduce you to three songs we have written for you to learn. Now, we understand that those who want to sing won’t necessarily have the same taste in music. As a result, we have written a funky pop song, a classic rock song and a slow yet powerful ballad. The goals for this lesson are to: • Understand the parts of a song which are beyond the technical elements • Learn that the stylistic elements are what make the performance of a song unique • Learn the final four steps for learning a song: the stylistic side Audio Lesson 20 Solutions to common problems Now that you have all these new skills to perfect, we also want you to be aware of how to deal with any potential mishaps. This lesson is focused on solutions to common problems. Have you heard the saying "A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing"? Well, it very much applies to singing as well. We wouldn’t want you to simply know how to use all the new knowledge you’ve acquired.  We also want to show you how to get your voice back on track if problems arise that you haven’t encountered yet. The goals for this lesson are: • Learn how to get around common roadblocks • Understand the importance of setting goals and learning the basics before trying to do too much too soon • Understand the need to keep up your overall confidence in your abilities as a singer (while still being objective!) Audio Lesson 21 Your Future as a Singer In this lesson, we focus on the possibilities for your future as a singer. There really are endless possibilities for you to be in the public spotlight and performing. You just have to decide how far you want to take your singing. In this lesson, we’re going to look at some options for you as a singer. Whether you want to perform in a choir, branch out into musical theatre or chase a professional recording contract, there are steps you need to take to make those goals a reality. Audio Lesson 22 Extending your vocal range: Part 2 In this lesson, we’ll re-focus on one of the aspects of singing, namely how to extend your vocal range. With Part 2, we’ll be looking at what you’ve done, how much progress you‘ve made and if there are any problems so far. This lesson is going to be slightly different from the rest. We want you to be able to do a self-assessment by examining your technique and understand if you are singing the extension exercises correctly. You'll get to practice some more powerful exercises and discover how to extend your vocal range to its fullest potential. Audio Lesson 23 Performance tips By this lesson you should be putting all the vocal range extension exercises to good use. You'll need to keep practicing these and record the progress you are making. In this lesson, we will be focusing on performing. This means knowing how to do it right AND what to do if something goes wrong. We will look at saving a bungled audition, what to do if you can’t hear yourself on stage, and what to do if you forget the words to your song. By the end of this lesson, you should feel confident that you can perform in any situation you may be called to. You should also be prepared with some ways to counter any mistakes you might make when on stage. Audio Lesson 24 Auditions and how to Ace them! Every professional singer must go through auditions at some stage in their life. Just like in a job interview, interviews provide potential employers proof of your singing skills as well as an indication of you suitability for what they have in mind. In this lesson, you're going to discover everything you need to know to have the best audition to secure that part you have always wanted. In the commercial arena, singing is not just about vocal talent. It is about appearances as well - and first impressions matter most! That's why it's so important for Singorama to cover topics like preparing for auditions, staying calm and focused, how to choose a song AND what to do after an audition! Audio Lesson 25 Writing Your First Song By this lesson, you should be feeling confident about auditioning and feel ready to stride into a room full of judges to give them a great and memorable performance. In this lesson, we will be looking at writing your first song. This can be great fun as you get a chance to express your ideas and tell your own stories. It can also be quite daunting as you may have no idea where to start or what to do. There is no point in having these creative ideas if you can’t produce something from them. In this lesson, we will look at how to start writing songs and concentrate on two ways most people get their inspiration. Audio Lesson 26 How to sing with a band Singing with a group of talented and like-minded people is one of the best experiences you can have as a singer. Getting out on a stage and performing original or cover songs to an amped audience brings a tremendous amount of satisfaction. When you are performing to an audience, you get to experience their instant feedback. Also, you’ll know straight away when you’re connected to them and doing a good job with your performance. Once you start singing with a band, you'll find that you need to know a lot more than just how to sing. You need to know how to communicate with your band members, how to adjust your vocals to the accompaniment, and how to rehearse effectively. Additionally, you'll need to know how to harmonize if you're the backup singer. With Singorama's tips for a band-singing success, you'll discover secrets about how to find a band, look at what sort of band will suit you as a singer and make sure you are aware of some of the inherent challenges of being in a band. Some common concerns include: managing different schedules, dealing with diverse personalities within the band and adapting with the various dynamics involved in performing with others. Audio Lesson 27 Performance Anxiety Now, if you have auditioned or performed on stage or maybe just in a karaoke bar, you may be familiar with some of these symptoms… …shortness of breath, a churning stomach, shaky hands, weakness of the knees, a quickened heartbeat and many others… Performance anxiety affects different singers in many ways. It can range from feeling a bit jittery before performing to a full blown panic attack, making the singer unable to even step onstage. So in this lesson, we will look at some of the signs and triggers for performance anxiety and help you overcome any performance anxiety that YOU might experience through listening to a unique relaxation track that has been specifically designed for singers. Audio Lesson 28  Final Overview This lesson is a comprehensive look back at the entire Singorama course. You'll also find out what to do from here and you'll need to continue to practice the numerous vocal and warmup exercises that we've covered. If you've taken this course seriously as a whole and mastered the various exercises along the way, you will be a MUCH more accomplished singer and performer by the time you reach this lesson. You'll have a vastly increased vocal range and be able to hit those notes with professional precision. You'll also be able to sing songs across a variety of genres. Not only that, you'll now have the technical expertise to take your singing to even greater heights in the future! I've seen enough! I want Singorama Right Now... And that's not all - not by a long shot! Other learn-to-sing programs out there will tell you to purchase a piano in order to perfect your pitch, or to buy a tape recorder to listen to yourself, or to learn to read music theory, or to buy yourself a metronome to get your timing right. With Singorama, you'll be provided with all the tools that you need in order to master all of those skill sets! Here is a list of the extra powerful advanced features that sets Singorama apart from ANY other singing training package out there... Record and playback your voice right on your computer using Singorama's Mini Recording Studio software!     How do you know what your voice sounds like? Have you ever recorded yourself? Did you know that your voice doesn't sound the same to you than it does to everyone else? That's why we've included the Singorama! Mini Recording Studio to let you record and play back your voice right on your computer. You can also stay on pitch with the Virtual Piano or you can sing along with pre-recorded scales. Nadia Called Us ...The other thing I really liked about singorama was your mini-recording studio that I found really valuable because you can't really improve your singing if you don't hear it. I was using an old tape recorder and it's just a pain when singing.  You sing a few songs or a few scales, and then you want to find it again, ESPECIALLY if you left it a few days later.  Then you’re like, “Oh wait where was that one, where was that practise, I need to know for the...”  You can't find it and end up guessing which was which. Whereas with the Singorama Mini Recording Studio, everything is filed away. It’s just a lot more convenient and easier to use!" -- Nadia E. (United Kingdom) Now, here's an important question for you: How do you know that you are hitting the right note every time? Let me guess: you know you’re in pitch when you can hear it resonating well with the music... am I right? Many singers sing this way instinctively, but if you want to become a professional singer, you'll need to learn how to hit the right note every time.  This is BEFORE you've even had the chance to tune your voice into the musical notes that have just been played. This is a great problem for many singers.  But now with Singorama you can... Train yourself to have the Perfect Ear by using our world-class ear training software - Perfect Your Pitch Pro! You've probably heard from musicians and singing teachers just how important it is to train your ear in order to both hit the right note every time and ultimately sing better. We know it's hard to believe, but if you can hear the difference between any two notes (i.e. a given one is higher that the other), then you know that you are NOT tone deaf.  YOU have a natural inborn ability for perfect pitch which, like most singers, is just waiting to be harnessed. "Perfect Your Pitch Pro" is a very simple but powerful computer game designed to train your ear to be able to recognize all 36 notes on the chromatic scale (across the 3 center octaves). The difficulty level ranges from easy to hard. As you progress, the game gradually becomes more difficult.  Just by playing this game, you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll train your ear via self-correction without much effort.  Eventually, you'll clock the game and be able to recognize all 36 center notes on the piano as they are played. Your friends will be saying, "You have a great ear for music!" And you'll not only find it far easier to hit the right note at all times. You'll also have a better ear for music which in turn will pay you big, big dividends in your singing progress. What an opportunity! Discover how to DRAMATICALLY increase your vocal range! Most vocal ranges span two octaves, or 13 to 14 white notes on a piano, although perhaps only one and a half octaves of those will be able to be sung consistently with good quality and pitch. With Singorama's extensive practice exercises and training, you can extend your vocal range to four octaves or more. In fact, many Singorama students find themselves singing a full octave higher within the first few weeks! Like any muscles, the vocal chords can be trained to make different co-ordinations. For example, a baseball player learns proper technique in order to hit the ball further. Even bodybuilders with exceptionally strong muscles cannot hit the ball as far as a baseball player with good technique could. Vocal technique or coordination can be taught to vocal chords without necessarily needing to strengthen them. With Singorama, you'll discover in step-by-step detail exactly how to ensure that you are not only capable of singing high pitch notes, but also STAYING on pitch. Better yet, we’ve also included high-quality illustrations and audio files to aid your learning. Vocal technique is extremely important, and by following the Singorama course, you'll develop a professional quality vocal tone! There’s MORE - with Singorama, you'll even learn how to keep yourself from developing bad habits such as bad posture, singing out of tune, breaking between head and chest voices, keeping consistent tonal quality, vowel sounds and more! I Can't Wait! I Must Have It Immediately! IMPORTANT UPDATE: You've arrived at this page just in time to take advantage of our special new version launch celebration offer: until May 16th, 2011, we've decided to offer it for just $99.95 (for a limited time only)... including the FOUR super bonuses, worth $94, that you receive absolutely FREE. However, please be warned... Given the sheer quantity of valuable material that we've packed into this brand-new version of Singorama, and given that we need to recoup our investment of time and resources, we want you to know that we *do* expect to raise the price shortly, once the launch celebration is complete, to the updated price of $199.95. So if you come back after 3 days, and the special launch price and bonus package is gone, there's nothing we can do... Of course, to sweeten the deal even MORE, We're also going to throw in...   FOUR Super Bonuses (a $94 value) -- yours to keep, no matter what you decide!   We want to make sure you have everything you need to immediately guarantee that you maximize your singing potential. So if you act on or before May 16th, 2011, as part of our special Singorama Version 2.0 launch celebration, we've decided to give anyone who purchases Singorama: Your Essential Guide to Singing Like a Professional FULL ACCESS to the following FOUR Super Bonuses... Super Bonus #1: Vocal Warmups (Audio) These fun and quick exercises are designed to be repeated until you can feel your voice start to loosen up. As you will find out in Lesson 2, warming up your voice gently is the best way to prepare to sing. Super bonus #2:  Vocal Strenthening Exercises (Audio) These strengthening exercises are designed to strengthen or improve the delivery of your singing. As you do these exercises, concentrate on how they sound, and not just whether you can reach the notes. Improving your tone, pitch, pacing and overall delivery will help improve your voice and show you where you still need to strengthen it. Super Bonus #3: Range Extension Exercises (Audio) We have had a lot of requests about extending your range. Everyone wants to be able to sing impressive-sounding high notes. So we have developed some exercises to test your range and improve it. All of these will challenge your voice and are designed to stretch your vocal chords thinner so they can produce a higher sound. Super Bonus #4: Interval Training For Singers (Audio) We believe that this program can give you an edge over other singers. As you master the interval training exercises and the Solfege system, you will increase your ability to learn songs, harmonize and grasp directions from audition panels that previously would have been like another language. Ingrain these intervals in your head and keep up the practice! As you do this, you will have a good grasp on major and minor key intervals and be able to teach yourself songs without having to hear them first. This is an invaluable skill to have when faced with auditions. At some auditions, they will ask you to come back for a second round if you have impressed the panel with your first song. You could be presented with a song to learn on the spot. This is one way the director thins out the talent.  If you can do what they ask and present a new song confidently, your chances of being picked are dramatically increased. Your 8-Week DOUBLE Risk-Free Guarantee: Of course, you don't have to decide now. Instead, grab our risk-free offer. Use Singorama for up to 8 weeks, and watch firsthand to see if your singing, vocal range and aural skills improve!
