Andrew G. writes: Hey Geoff, First, congrats on taking the first step into learning how to sing! Very cool and brave to put yourself out there. Now I think you have some great potential, and as singing is a learned craft/skill, I would suggest you sped some time with a vocal coach, as they will save you years of getting good at singing wrong… I know as this year I decided to learn to sing too! I can recommend very highly Mark Downey Vocal Studio Mark is a great guy, and teaches one of the best techniques there is ” Speech level singing” a method created by Seth Riggs… funny I think he worked with Mj too !…http://www.speechlevelsinging.com
