not exactly. In fact, some attempted to teach SLS frequent exercises though they ain't certified. I had such experience b4.
Personally I'm in love with SLS. After learning it, I'm able to reach notes effortlessly. It gives singer lots of confident.
SLS help?

hahaha, for being a great first lesson, you only have 4 words to describe how it went? =p
on a side note, after semi-religiously practicing lip rolls and exercises, finally found my head voice and extended range, tho the tone is still downright awful and sounds bad. Trying to reach the tenor high C's becoming easier too - last week i had to push a lil to hit it but now it's a lot more effortless. Think my vocal cords are starting to learn the right co-ordinations!!
ya..before i told him my speaking habit.he know already =D.worth the money. Im still stuck at around E flat G. Finding my mixed register and stuff.
I got mix up with the tightening and straining thing. At E and above definitely will strain abit but not too much so its normal de. Erm. so fast still okay although still less than 2 octave.
By the way,how to see the scale and how many notes is one octave?
Is one octave.. C,d,e,f,g,a,b,c or is it..c,d,e,f,g,c?

An octave on the white piano keys or named notes is c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c. That's 8 notes. If you include the black keys as well it's 12.
Once you get back to a note with the same name (eg from C to C), then that's an octave.
The SLS short scale is c e g C g e c, and the long scale is c e g C E G F D b g f d c, with uppercase being an octave higher than lowercase.

Well if you can't navigate the first bridge, you can have less than an octave. It's nothing unusual
Which C are you talking about there? My usual speaking voice is around what I call "low C", and I can speak up to the note A below what I call middle C. Anything from the Bb and up I need to do differently to my usual speaking voice.

Which E is this? The E just above middle C (C3), or the E ABOVE the C that's above middle C (C4)?
If it's the latter, you are probably a tenor, just that you haven't developed your high notes.
When i first started out, there was some strain when reaching the first bridge region (E above C4), cos i was pulling chest. But after more practice, the vocal cords start to learn the correct way of transitioning and there should not be strain, because the head voice takes over.
FWIW, in the past when i used to pull chest, max i could reach was F on a very, very good day. And the tone was just terrible lol. But now it's much, MUCH better with no strain at all. The feeling's just incredible. Hope that encourages you. Keep persevering on!
That's awesome. Huge step up from your highest note previously yea? A4?
Yea can't tell, it is just a general guideline.
I do not know mush about singing but if you are straining dont sing. Stop. Take a break. High notes are reached via head voice. Head voice = takes maybe a month to a year to master depending on what bad habits you have. noober is better to learn as there is no bad habits yet. Give Brett Manning a try. His methods are good but you must be consistent in following. http://www.singingsuccess.com/products
NO! Dangerous for your throat. It will screw up your voice. Please dont do that. It should be very very very relaxed.
Everyone has a huge range just waiting to be uncovered. Dont section yourself so soon.
Actually i don't think that's what fretness meant. fretness is probably trying to say that you shouldn't be too quick to judge what voice type you have too soon since it is still an untrained voice. And by classifying your voice type so early on, you might be limiting your potential.
Although it is true that with enough training, some baritones can hit the tenor high C, but they still sound very very different (dark) from a tenor singing the same note. What defines a vocal range well is the tone. A baritone and a tenor can both be singing middle c (C3), yet sound very different; the baritone has more 'weight' to the voice.
Middle C = C3. For males, tenor high C is C5. The 'high C' you're talking about is C4. The A you hit is A3.
Err, no man. You shouldn't be straining. Your larynx should not be shooting up when you vocalize the high notes. A good way to see if you're straining is to move your neck around when you're doing the exercises. If you can move it freely while not letting it affect your singing, should be okay.
At your current stage, i think you still haven't discovered your head voice. Once you discover it, you will get a huge increase in your range. Just take it slowly and you'll see the range increase in time to come. No matter what, don't rush it!
