Voice training, anyone want to buddy up or start a chat group?

[antonia]

Just a friendly reminder, that we will be doing our first weekly voice training chat group this Sunday @ 17:00 (5 PM) GMT, 13:00 (1 PM) EST, 10:00 (10 AM) PST.

We will be using a Google Hangout https://plus.google.com/events/c5pp542q0go7l9j2h17i852f25o, the hangout is called "Give me a voice" and is by invite only, please PM me with your Google account information or click the link to request an invite and I will invite you to the group.

Before attending you should do the following:

• Set up in a good area, you will be making strange noises for a whole hour and don't want to be interrupted or distracted
• Install a copy of Overtone Analyser Free Edition or if you prefer another spectrum analyser that can do real-time visualization (http://www.sygyt.com/en/overtone-analyzer-editions)
• Test your microphone setup and playback
• If calling in from a mobile phone or laptop make sure your battery is charged
• Watch the following videos and if possible practise:
• Have water or similar drink at hand
• Think of a short story, poem or something you would like to share with the group

Hugs and kisses

i would be up for joining in on this my female voice seems to always come out with an american accent for some reason i don't know why haha

Looks like everyone was too busy to show up, perhaps the timing isn't good. Anyways someone is still interested let me know with availability, otherwise I will consider this a failed experiment

I would but 3am is not going to happen

[antonia]

lol, yeah I get that, perhaps it's better to start doing pairs, where a pair of girls schedule a one on one chat?

Maybe?
It would have been at 1pm for me. Unfortunately I do things during the day. Evenings are probably better for my self at least.

[Two Bodies/Same Soul]

I'm interested. I can do really anytime between 4:30 p.m. To 12:00 a.m.

I think this is a great idea and I'd love to join in. I also think the Pairs idea is a sound one. Or, we could have 3 separate groups, 1 for an EST time, 1 for a GMT time, and one for PST time? This way at least some of us could get together at a certain time Sunday evening. I don't know how international time zones correlate with those here in the US but the GMT group could be a start. It's just a suggestion. I just think this is a great idea and would hate to see it fail.

I really like this idea of practice.. but I am thinking that time zone or continent-based groups would be likely easiest to get schedules to mesh.  Could also solve problems abt dialect/colloquialisms .. just a thot..

Okey, lets try this again.

I'm looking for people to train with in 1 on 1 sessions, I'm available Sunday any time between 10AM and 5PM, everyone interested in chatting at those times let please send me a message with your preferred starting time for one hour of talking. I'll set up a Google hangout and send you an invite.

Before the session you should do the following:

• Set up in a good area, you will be making strange noises for a whole hour and don't want to be interrupted or distracted
• Install a copy of Overtone Analyser Free Edition or if you prefer another spectrum analyser that can do real-time visualization (http://www.sygyt.com/en/overtone-analyzer-editions)
• Test your microphone setup and playback
• If calling in from a mobile phone or laptop make sure your battery is charged
• Watch the following videos and if possible practise:
• Have water or similar drink at hand
• Think of a short story, poem or something you would like to share.

Anyone interested in starting their own chats at different times feel free to post but keep in mind that you will need to start the hangout yourself and coordinate with someone in your area.
