2things about which we can be certain re:
@davidmdraiman
:
1. He doesn’t lie
2.He doesn’t allow tuning software. Or “ghosting” “doubling” NOTHING. He has a personal religion about “excellence” that prohibits the use of so much technology that many headliners take for granted.
@Humming_birder
@tracybeanz
I don’t…and have NEVER used autotune…and whoever claimed that I have either has no idea what they’re taking about, or are just a blatant LIAR.
I BLEED every night to do what I do. There is no other way for me.

Vocalists are athletes. Vocal folds are one tenth the size of an index fingernail. A vocal warmup is not like gross motor cardio at the gym. Just because a singer is injured doesn’t necessarily mean they did something wrong. L

Many people cannot use their vocal folds correctly because they breathe incorrectly.
@EyeAgainstI

Well, according to Estill and IVA, breathing is sth. which will regulate itself if you just use your vocal chords correctly..

Hi
@mskatdoesspeech
! you are the coolest of coolest teachers. would you ask your student’s parents to call me? i would like to give him a free lesson🤘🏻🙏🏻
One of my voice students loves screamo music. So today we listened to
@melissacross
talk about how she teaches musicians to scream & what happens to our vocal folds when we do it incorrectly. One of the coolest lessons I’ve ever had the pleasure of teaching.

Vocalists hear this: if you are going to have surgery involving intubation: MAKE SURE DOCS USE THE SMALLER TUBE!!
Very common for vocal cord injury to result from an emergency surgery, or any type of medical intubation. Singers especially should always bring this up before any upcoming procedures.

Why do they punch when he is already pinned to the ground by 3 officers? This is VERY hard to watch.
APD arrests someone for hitting a barricade with a skateboard and punches him while he's being held down.

She should have used the loot for voice lessons.
This “rapper” with an alias of RAZZLEKHAN aka Heather Morgan was charged today in NYC, with being part of money laundering scheme that involved Billions worth of Bitcoin.
I believe she should have already been in prison for life for whatever this is.
