Singing Coach Unlimited Description:
Singing Coach Unlimited review: 3 stars (Good Technology, But the Presentation is Really for Kids) - The software appears to work quite well, and I believe that using this product will improve my singing. The real-time pitch tracking is a tremendous aid for anyone who (like me) has trouble finding notes with their singing voice. On this basis, I would have given the product 4 1/2 or 5 stars. However, the bad news is that the presentation of this product is really designed for kids. There are characters who guide you through the process, and unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to turn them off. It is a bit like watching an episode of Barney in terms of the level of hokiness (e.g., an opera singing octupus who talks like Chef Boyardee. Yuck!) Ideally, Carry-A-Tune should design a professional version designed for the over 13 crowd. The new version would just contain the core technology and do away with the annoying characters and story line. But as I said, the technology seems to work so I guess that I will suffer through the cartoonish qualities. 5 stars (Bravo!) - I have taken professional singing lessons before, but I still found areas I can improve in using the pitch tracking features in Singing Coach. I enjoyed the lessons and the witty characters. But mainly I like to just jump in and use the cutting edge technology to watch my voice as I sing songs. With the import from midi feature you can practice any song you (or one of your friends) can play on a midi keyboard in addition to the ones Carry a Tune has on line. I wish I had used this back in high-school while practicing for competitions! I could have practiced all the contest music while visually checking myself against the pitch tracking line.
Singing Coach is very responsive; I can even see how wide and how fast my vibrato is while I am singing. The microphone provided in the package records well and I can now use it for chatting online when I'm not singing or working.
Bravo, Singing Coach Unlimited!
5 stars (Amazing!) - Wow I never thought that I could walk into a store and buy a piece of software that got my computer to teach me how to sing. But wow one does actually exist. This is one solid piece of software that really makes a difference.
I heard someone call it a "vocal Coach in a box." Boy where they right on the head with that one. There is no way I could afford vocal coaching for all three of my children so this is a great subsitute.
It gave them all the basic tools they need to learn about how to sing and it gives them a ton of ways of practicing and improving their skills. Lots of songs to choose from and really no end to the skills they can gain.
