Most of my favorite singers (and friends) that sing this style have completely lost their voice like David Coverdale, Lou Gramm, Ian Gillan, Steve Walsh, Steve Perry and the list goes on and on. WEll, guess what, I did gain an entire octave on my voice. Watch my videos or listen to music I have posted) (chekc out what this technique has done for me.

If not, no worries.īut the proof of the technique IS IN THE PUDDING. I just know what I know from my experince. Guys, I'm not here to tell you how bitchen I am, if you guys think that I'll just move on, that is silly and pedantic (and really loserville). If I was singing jazz or easy pop none of this would have really mattered, but the truth is, this kind of high rock singing was gnarly and in the words of Robert, you DO become a vocal athlete. (btw, I was shocked to find out how many coaches taught Bel Canto and they really didn't understand the true mechanics of what this kind of VERY intense high energy, high range singing required. No other vocal coaches could really do that. Ron COULD ACTUALLY SING AND PHYSICALLY SHOW ME. It wasn't until I ran into Ron Anderson and learned Bel Canto (I went to school later to get my degree) that I fully understood how I needed to sing. You see, what I needed was an octave on my voice, MUCH greater longevity and constistancy. I cannot tell you how many 'well known' vocal coaches I went to and NONE of them really helped me (if I told you the names I would REALLY piss people off).

An Ab to a B was all I could squeeze out (and that was on a good night). I had a very similar range to my cousin Sammy Hagar.

(btw, we went through over 40 memeber changes most of which were singers in the 4 1/2 years I was in the band so that oughtta tell you something).

So all the Joshua songs were ALL in the Steve Perry, Micky Thomas range. (Robert I think you said there was a forum starting on here somewhere?)īack around 1982 I was the lead singer for a rock band called Joshua.
