For many years I had been the sort of person who has no trouble at all singing along to the car radio at full volume while driving down the interstate. I was of the opinion that I had a reasonably decent voice in the shower. The situation changed, however, when a number of friends of mine in a band called me up onstage to sing one of my favorite songs. I went on the stage and I suppose I did fine. The next time I met them, however, I became the butt of jokes. Friends made fun of me about my singing talents, or the lack of it. One pal even told me he'd pay me NOT to sing ever again. On that day, I lost what little confidence I had in my singing abilities, and that was when I made up my mind to experiment with Singorama.

Before I purchased it, I did my research and learned that there are actually numerous vocal coaching courses online for men and women like me – folks who only wish to sing but who have no real training. A few of these software programs are taught by professional vocal coaches, who if they were teaching personally would charge several hundred dollars each hour. Hence, it does not matter what coaching program I decided up on, I figured that I would be getting a fairly decent offer.

I came to a conclusion by deciding upon Singorama for a couple of reasons, the first of which was that I had gone through the reviews and they were all good. Just about every person who had tried out the product had only glowing things to say about it. I also found out that it comes with 28 interactive audio lessons, and that you do more than just listen attentively to the teacher – you sing along with them. This was definitely a good thing in my books!

What really sold me on the program, however, was its presentation. I am a visual learner, I appreciated the two books that came along with it. Sometimes you need to just see something in order to process the information, and with Singorama, that was possible.

There might be several other courses out there that have a bigger following or that are taught by prominent people, but the thing that eventually sold me on Singorama was the fact that it came with its own recording studio. That’s right – the program itself has a mini recording studio as part of the package. In a short while, I had it all loaded up on my computer and I was able to not only take lessons, but put my learning to work immediately by recording my voice.

A different plus about the program is that it is quite a comprehensive resource for would-be singers. Aside from covering everything I wanted to know about bettering my pitch and my rage, it also talks about subject areas I never even thought to ask about. For instance, there is a module that discusses about writing songs. An additional module discusses singing with a band. There was also a tutorial on acing auditions. I don't harbor plans to sing commercially or professionally, but I like that Singorama covered these subjects too. It just goes to showeffective the program is.

Another characteristic that I liked was the game that came with the program. The game is called Perfect Your Pitch Pro. It was designed to train my ear to identify the 36 notes on a chromatic scale. That sounded like a boring lesson to learn but, I am telling you the truth, it was anything but boring. I had and so much fun playing I forgot I was in it for my vocal cords, not for fun!

Now, I will not exaggerate to you and tell you that Singorama has transformed me into the next Adam Lambert, but I will tell you that the next time I get pulled up on stage, I will be neither ashamed nor afraid. I now have full faith in my voice that I never had earlier. It is because I feel much more knowlegeable thanks to this program. Not only that, I have been able to record my own voice and listen to it repeatedly. I now know what I sound like and it isn’t too bad!

I would highly recommend this inexpensive software program to anyone who wants to enhance their singing abilities and is also interested in doing several reasonably priced and very easy home recording on their computer.
