TESTIMONIAL
Myles Kennedy, Lead Singer
AlterBridge


I have known Jamie Vendera for a few years now. He has become one of the best and well respected Vocal Instructors in the business. What sets him apart from many is the fact that he really cares about the art of singing. He is extremely passionate about what he does. While on tour, he came out to see me perform with Alter Bridge. Unfortunately, I was so sick I could barely make it through the set. It looked as if we were going to have to cancel the next show. Jaime spent some time giving me some tips that helped me regain my voice and by the next night, I was able to perform the show. He is fantastic! Raise Your Voice 2nd Edition is THE book for singers! I recommend this book and his private instruction to ALL singers!

TESTIMONIAL
Adam Savage, Co-Host
MythBusters
The Discovery Channel

"I’ve been singing in the shower for years, and have never had any kind of formal voice training. With about three minutes of instruction and a healthy dose of his seamlessly boundless enthusiasm, Jaime Vendera helped me to shatter a crystal wine glass with my voice (through an amplifier, but still, we had professional opera singers that couldn’t do it!) He’s one of the easiest guys I’ve worked with, has apparently no ego, (in a good way) and for helping me bust a myth that we thought only the highest-trained singers could achieve, I dub him an honorary MythBuster."

I’m glad we met. I have always believed that if you treat people real, you will get the same in return. I have been reading your book and GOD you know so much more about the voice than I know! Your theory and knowledge of the mechanics of the voice is overwhelming. I will find all of this very invaluable. Thank you.

TESTIMONIAL
Phil Taylor, Lead Singer
Future Leaders of the World/Machina

Just spent a couple days training with Jaime now that I'm done touring for a while and he's helped me a lot. We've been working on strengthening my voice and building endurance. For anyone who knows my music, it takes extreme concentration and training to be able to perform night after night at the intensity level I do. The whole "dry rasp" vocal style can be very taxing at times and seemingly impossible to maintain performing 100% on the road. So when I was introduced to Jaime I was wondering what he could do to help to make my job easier and more fun really. I've been to several vocal coaches and most of them don't sing rock, never did, and don't really respect it as a vocal style or valid art form, seeing as it is seemingly harmful to the natural state of the human voice. Anyways he actually hits the notes the same way I do, but also with the same grit and way higher, so immediately I had respect for what he would teach me and knew he could help. We went through a bunch of warm-up exercises for falsetto and normal voice, all with the intent of bridging these as one voice. Then adding the grit towards the end of the warm-ups after my voice was loose. At first this was really hard, building my upper register with a full voice and grit, instead of the partial falsetto I was using before on the screams. But after a few hours of practice I was starting to feel an increase in range and a sense of comfort in the upper range I was foreign too. This was really apparent when we practiced the method to some of the songs on my album "LVLIV"(in stores now). I was really excited to see that I could hit the same notes with the same grit without straining my voice or hurting afterward. Although I couldn't hit all the notes perfect with this method right away, I can tell that with serious dedication and daily practice, this method is going to save me a lot of hardship in the future. He has really opened my eyes to a new approach to my music that is more healthy and higher quality vocally as well cuz I'm in more control of my voice. So thanx alot for helping me out Jaime! Jaime's the real deal and he can seriously help you be a rock singer if your dedicated so check him out. I gotta lotta work to do now so I gotta go. Peace out!
