Emily Mander's Singorama Review - Where Does It Stands Against Singing Success

 

I have been repeatedly asked through comments to provide a review of Emily Mander's Singorama and if I found it useful.

Let me start from the start. I decided to learn Singing a year back. After all the research on internet I could narrow it down to Singorama and Singing Success. Both of them looked to be good. While Singing Success had more reputation and better testimonials, Singorama offered more value for money.

Here is what you get with Singing Success:

Workbook
● 1 Studio Training DVD
● 12 audio CDs (304 Audio files)

While this is what you get with Singorama:

● 2 workbooks
● 28 Audio Lessons (100s of Audio files)
● Singorama Mini Recording Studio software
● Perfect your Pitch Pro! software
● Jayde Musica software
● The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Reading Music e-book
● Advanced Learning Techniques for Singers e-book
● Singorama Virtual Metronome software

The good thing was that these were not fillers. These are things that are extremely useful. I can tell you that from my experience. Like the audio lessons, they cover every topic you can think off. I started off as a beginner with them. I followed each session closely. I often consulted my personal trainer and compared the courses against his material and I found that these audio lessons had a lot of content. They will help you master not only the technical aspects of singing but also real world things like how to personalize your songs.

Similarly the software. I found the Mini recording studio quite useful. It helps you practice like a pro and you can always go back and see how you need to change or improve. Similarly as a beginner, I found the Pitch Pro software very useful in learning all the 36 notes. These are the things that make a world of difference at your performances.

I have tried Singing Success through my friend who has that course. I found that while it is one of the best packages around, it fails to deliver the interaction that Singorama delivers through its software.

If you have money to spare than buy both of them. If you are on budget and are looking for maximum value for your money than Singorama should be your choice. I have tested these guys out and I can assure you that you can't get a better course than one that they offer.

Also, if you are not too sure about which package to try, then go for Singorama's free course. It will give you a good idea!

Say No To Alcohol & Smoking

I already wrote about the effects of Alcohol and what the courses like Singorama and Singing Success have to say about them.

If you don't smoke you are lucky enough, if you Smoke then giving it up for Singing is a worthwhile cause.

Remember that whatever you breathe moves directly through the vocal folds and affects them accordingly.  Smoke of any kind is hot and toxic.  It causes burning, drying and irritation which in turn causes the vocal folds to swell making a good singing tone difficult at first and over time impossible for the habitual smoker.  Young peoples' bodies seem to be resilient and thus young singers who smoke may not notice any ill effects, so they may think that smoking isn't doing them or their voice any harm.  What they don't understand is that the damage that is being done to the vocal folds and the breathing mechanism is cumulative and often cannot be reversed once they notice problems singing.  My advice is to find a way to quit smoking immediately.

Stop Smoking Now!

Serious About Singing? Avoid Alcohol

 

Here is what I got to know:

"Alcohol, like caffeine, dehydrates the body and thus the vocal folds.  The condition of dehydrated vocal folds makes for an inferior singing instrument. In addition to the physiological problems inherent in alcohol, anything that distorts the mind or nervous system is going to impair the vocalist's ability to sing properly.  An occasional glass of wine or cocktail will not destroy your voice, however drinking alcohol even a day or two prior to singing is absolutely a bad idea."

I have tried both Singorama and Singing success packages and alcohol is something that is the first thing you will have to give up if you are serious about Singing.

Say No TO ALCOHOLD NOW!
