USE GOOD JUDGEMENT:
Vocal training is an athletic endeavor and you must always warm-up before you begin to train and sing. Some modern styles can challenge the performance envelope for the modern vocalist, therefore you must build physical strength and coordination to produce these modern vocal sounds properly to prevent injury and remain healthy. Never, under any circumstances, sing by “pushing” or forcing your body to do things it is resisting. Gripping, tightness, constriction and all forms of tension are to be avoided at all times. If you are experiencing any results that are anything other then complete freedom from tension and gripping, then you are not executing these techniques properly and you are not using your voice in a healthy way and should stop immediately. Singing with distortion can be dangerous if you are not trained properly on the techniques to do it in a healthier way, you can injure yourself.
If you are susceptible to throat injury, have a history of throat illness, smoke, or have not been approved by your doctor to train modern vocal techniques, you should consult a medical professional prior to viewing video tutorials, taking private vocal lessons or group classes with Mary Zimmer and VoiceHacks, LLC.
By participating in private one-on-one Skype video call vocal lessons or group classes with Mary Zimmer, you agree that there are inherent risks in vocal training and singing aggressively. By becoming a member of VoiceHacks.Net to view the full-length video tutorials, you atree that there are inherent risks in vocal training and singing aggressively. Voice Hacks LLC and Mary Zimmer are not responsible for your occupational hazard and your choice to sing. If you ever feel pain, tension or gripping at any time before, during, or after singing, DO NOT CONTINUE TO SING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If pain persists, see a medical professional.
