Every singer wants more range, power, and stamina. But the singers who actually last, the ones who tour, record, scream, wail, and still sound good years later, all figure out the same truth eventually.
Vocal health isn’t optional. It’s the foundation.
I’ll be at NAMM in California January 23rd and 24th, offering eight 15-minute one-on-one voice sessions per day for two straight days. These aren’t lectures or demos. They’re real conversations and impromptu mini lessons with singers who want honest answers about their voice.
And the first thing I tell almost everyone is this:
If your voice is not healthy, nothing else matters.
From Glass Shattering to Real-World Voices
Some people know me as the guy who shattered a wine glass with his voice on MythBusters. Others know me from television appearances, books, or the ISO Method. But the real work happens quietly, behind the scenes, with singers who rely on their voice to survive.
I’ve worked with touring rock and metal vocalists, studio singers, screamers, and everyday performers who just want their voice to stop failing them. Across all of those styles, one rule always holds true.
A tired voice breaks down.
A dehydrated voice lies to you.
A strained voice steals your future.
Strength Means Nothing Without Health
Most singers think vocal health is boring. They chase range and power first, then panic when something hurts.
That’s backward. A healthy voice:
-
Recovers faster
-
Handles distortion and power safely
-
Maintains pitch and tone under pressure
- Survives long rehearsals, long shows, and long tours
Vocal strength only works when the system is balanced. That means airflow, cord closure, hydration, and recovery all working together.
That’s why tools like DoctorVox exist.
Why DoctorVox Matters
DoctorVox isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about balance. Water-based resistance creates back pressure that helps the vocal cords vibrate more efficiently instead of slamming together. That vibration becomes a massage, not just an exercise. When used consistently, it supports:
-
Faster warm-ups
-
Reduced swelling
-
Better cord coordination
- Safer power and distortion
This is the kind of work singers usually ignore until it’s too late.
Vocal Health Is a Daily Practice
At NAMM, people won’t just be getting a conversation or a quick fix. Everyone who signs up receives a DoctorVox bottle and Throat Saver spray from Superior Vocal Health, because taking care of your voice should be part of your daily routine, not something you think about after damage is done.
Fifteen minutes can be enough to:
-
Identify why your voice is fatiguing
-
Fix a problem note or transition
-
Reframe how you’re warming up
- Answer the question you’ve been afraid to ask
Sometimes clarity is more powerful than another exercise.
The Goal Is Longevity
Singing is athletic. Your voice is tissue and tissue needs care. Whether you’re screaming on stage, singing in a studio, or rehearsing in your car, your voice only performs as well as you maintain it. Vocal health is not a side topic. It is the top priority.
That’s the mindset I bring to every lesson, every book, and every conversation.
If you’re serious about your voice and you’re attending NAMM, I’d love to talk with you. Not to impress you. Not to overwhelm you. Just to help you leave with a clearer path forward and a healthier voice.
Your voice is not replaceable. Treat it like it matters.
Your Vox coach,
Jaime Vendera
