Singorama Review Ratings

We’ve been meaning to do a review of Singorama since the launch of its 2.0 version in December 2007, since it offers more features and software than other learn-to-sing packages do at comparable prices. The Singorama singing course is composed of 28 audio lessons, 2 lesson books to supplement the audio material, and some added software items. The audio lessons and the two e-books are filled with useful, practical content, and cover every thinkable aspect of singing. A unique thing about Singorama is that it actually teaches you to sing with others, an aspect that other courses neglect.

Singorama offers precise information on singing and features useful voice techniques, warm up tips, info on how to take care of your voice, singing in harmony with others, and other vocal techniques you need to know. We were pleased to see during our review of Singorama, that they include information about going through auditions, dealing with stage fright and anxiety, and how to perform on stage. Singorama also teaches you how to keep from developing bad habits, such as bad posture, breaking between head and chest voices, singing out of tune, keeping consistent tonal quality, etc.

A great aspect we thought would definitely be worth more than a mention in our review of Singorama is the Mini Recording Studio software, which lets you record your own voice, and compare it to the professionally recorded singer tracks that comes with Singorama. The software is easy to use, its loads of fun to hear yourself as compared to professionals, and very useful in recognizing what you need to work on.

What you’ll learn with Singorama

Like most programs, the books and audio lessons teach you warmups, vocal techniques, how to take care of your voice, perfecting your pitch, etc. However, Singorama also deals with subjects rarely found in other programs, such as personalizing songs, and gives a large number of stage performance tips, such as how to protect your voice during a performance, how to hold a microphone, how to tackle stage fright, how to move on stage etc. It also prepares you for your upcoming auditions, by showing you how to choose the audition song thats right for you, how to prepare for a singing audtion, what to do during the audition etc. Thanks to the the numerous audio tracks that come with the Songorama singing course, you’ll also practice singing in harmony with other singers.

The added software will also help you develop your musical technique and knowledge, for example Perfect Pitch Pro, which develops your hearing, and Jayde Musica Pro, which teaches you how to read music through a game.

Ease of Use

As we were evaluating Singorama for this review, we were pleased to see that the course is very systematic and intuitive, as each lesson build onto the next. The Singorama books also have an easy way to help you learn any song you want to sing, by showing you how to learn them in eight easy steps.

Support Services of Singorama

A nice feature is the email support offered by Singorama. You can email them with your singing speific questions, and they get back to you within 48 hours. Almost like having a personal teacher sort of…

Conclusion

Summing up our Singorama review, we can say that this singing lesson package proved to be a highly effective vocal coach, combining the advantages of audio tutorials and books with the flexibility and fun provided by the included software. No matter whether you are looking to sing in the choir at church, a school musical, under the shower, or perform at gigs, Singorama will definitely be of value to you. It does not contain as much professional info and tips as the Singing Success System by Brett Manning, but it does contain more software, so at half the price, it’s a viable alternative.

Singorama is a very effective and inexpensive way to learn to sing, or improve your voice if you are already experienced.
