I watched the Zen of Screaming DVD 1 (Melissa Cross) and despite the title, it focused primarily on breathing technique and vocal placement to extend your range without hurting your vocal chords (losing your voice or getting hoarse). I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the dvd. I learned tons of great (usable) information / technique from the DVD. It comes with a practice CD you can put in your car to practice proper technique. It's not your typical classical training - rather geared for rock+ genres.

Anyone else watched the DVD?

I highly recommend it.

Oh man I thought you meant the 'ZEN of STREAMING'...

'ZEN of STREAMING'.

p-dog ...you refer to the dvd that was made by an Eastern urologist?

It frightens me that there would be a DVD about proper peeing if one exists, and it frightens me even more that you knew of said DVD off the top of your head (no pun intended)

I have it the DVD at home. I lend it to new vocalists that I have projects with. Good video.
