Learn how to sing ....really sing....in your church choir?
"If any of the above questions hit home to you, let me tell you i know how you feel and i know exactly where you are at - weary and fed up of singing with a constant sore, tried and hoarse voice.
You want a change and you need answers.
Deep down you know If you continue to sing with bad vocals you could end up ruining your vocals permanantly. But you don't want to complain or make a fuss (secretly that is what you should be doing)
And you don't want to leave the choir or praise team.
So what do you do?
Well, your first instinct was probabley to ask the choir director for Vocal Training, but numerous requests have either not been taken seriously or there is simply not enough time during practice. You need at least a good 30 mins to warm up suffciently that's nearly a third (1/3) of practice time and we all know how precious time is when you have 10 songs to learn for both choir AND praise and worship in 2 hours!!
Secondly, you maybe tried those online exercises and videos. But there are so many to choose from you don't know which ones will actually help. Besides, you've tried them and they STILL don't work! So what other options are there?
Well I'll tell you what i did.
When i found myself constantly struggling with a sore throat, forever pushing to hit notes, always straining to sing over the loud music.
I decide enough was enough and took action.
I sought advice and guidance straight from a professional vocal coach.
And guess what i discovered? I discovered there is no substitute for professional face to face advice from someone who have spent years learning and researching about the Voice.
So how does this benefit you?

So Why Should You Learn with SOS?
Many Choir Singers are realising that mastering gospel vocals is not as easy as it intially appears. With every good intention people join thinking "i can do that" but quickly realise it it much harder than it looks from the congregation.
But after singing in (and listening to) uk gospel choirs, both in and out of church, I now believe the following to be true:
TRUE: Many UK Gospel choir singers are untrained(even in the famous ones)!
TRUE: Many Choir Directors do not teach Vocal Training (and if they do it's not for the heavy gospel style)!
TRUE: In many cases the choir is reduced to fillng out Sunday Service!
TRUE:Not enough importance is placed on the ministry of Praise and Worship (therefore the need for strong healthy vocals cannot be fully appreciated)!
TRUE: Most choir members are simply there to make up the numbers! (therefore the need for strong healthy vocals cannot be fully appreciated)!
TRUE: Most Choir Directors can teach you to sing a song but not HOW to sing a song!
It is any wonder then that you find yourself struggling with tired, worn out, screechy, bellowing(men) and painful vocals?
Watch students working through a vocal routine at a London workshop, 2009 (Note: turn your volume down!)
