Miley Cyrus in The Voice - my opinion

Hello.
So I noticed Miley Cyrus is now a coach in The Voice, and couldn't help to blog about my opinion.

The voice started showcasing very talented coaches, who will deny that Christina Aguilera is a freak of nature, her pipes are impressive and her vocal style is very unique. Of course Adam, Cee-lo and Blake have their chops too. But then they started mixing things up, first to go was Cee-lo, Pharrel Williams, even though I don't think has the best Delray Beach Vocal Technique, can say he's a great producer. Shakira has Grammys coming out of her pockets to support her case and Gwen Stefany... well, that's when things started going south.
Alicia Keys is a great, awesome singer, her addition will be invaluable to the team of coaches, but Miley Cyrus? Miley Cyrus who sings from her throat, Miley Cyrus who became famous because of her last name, Miley Cyrus the best friend of autotune and over the top effects?
I don't think she has the voice, the chops, the experience or the respect to be a boca raton vocal coach, I really wonder who's idea was to put wrecking ball as a coach of the voice.
I imagine many people will disagree with me, and also I'm sure many others will be on my side. I guess we will all see what Miley brings to the show. For now, just keep watching.

How to know when you are ready to audition for The Voice

Aspiring artists' dreams are going wild with the huge success of talent shows like NBC's The Voice. Every body who's ever got a compliment on their Vocal Abilities is now dreaming on making it big by being the next TV Talent Show winner. That is good, dreaming is the mother of all success, but you should dream with one foot in the floor.
How do you know if you are ready to audition? besides confidence what else should you have in your check list? well, here's a comprehensive summary of the most important vocal performance aspects that you need to have down when you are thinking on auditioning for a talent show such as NBC's The Voice.

  • Do you master your breathing and vocal technique?
  • Do you feel in advance what type of voice you are going to use to attack a low or high note?
  • Does your range overlaps comfortably among chest, head, mix and falsetto ranges?
  • Do you clearly feel and understand your head and mix voices?
  • Do you master microphone techniques and know how to get the best of it?
  • How about your self monitoring system?
  • Are you impeccable in your tempo?
  • Do you feel confidence you can sing ANYTHING?
  • Do you experiment beyond the recorded version of the songs you like?
  • Do you feel the music you are singing?

If is there anything you are missing from this list you should talk to your Boca Raton Vocal Coach and work on the specific items you are missing, if your dream is to make it big on a talent show you should make sure your effort and illusions don't get washed away because of false self confidence. Self confidence is good but only if is backed up by talent and perfect technique.
