Use your laptop to enhance your vocal chords with the SoundTech Vocal trainer

Now my singing voice could be called passable at best, and glass shattering, nails on a blackboard at worst, so the Sound Tech holds some interest for me. It's not that I'm expecting Mariah Carey's level of vocal ability, but it would be nice not to frighten children when I open my mouth.The Sound Tech promises to enable anyone to improve their singing ability quickly and easily and says that it can 'take amateur vocalists from singing in the shower to singing on stage - with confidence'. Interesting. So how does it work?

Well the package includes you very own personal singing coach which trains you via a 'learn-to-sing' system which involves you speaking into the provided high quality dynamic microphone, which analyses your voice for tune and pitch and provides vocal coaching to allow you to improve. They use a LightSnake XLR Intelligent Microphone cable which plugs straight into the PC and flashes when sound is transmitted. You interact with 20 tutorials which help determine your range and gives you real time feedback as well as setting you song exercises and practise sessions. There are 12 songs included and the option to download more as well. I'm going to get a sample to test, so I'll get back yo you on whether this actually affects my singing or not.

$89.99 from Sound Tech
