What are you guys up to the rest of this month? I'm about to hop and with Drew and record some conversations about writing, recording, and production. It feels good to start diving back into the podcast with shorter episodes. It also feels good to be writing so much again. I've sketched out about 50 songs, knowing that I'm only keeps 15 to 20 of them at most. I'm also finishing up my part in the new Rock Singing Mastery program soon, then turning our focus on ramping this place up.

We're taking a short break on the podcast to evaluate last year's podcast episodes and make season 2 much more value-packed! Be on the lookout for the new season with guests, short episodes, special long episodes, and much more. If you have any suggestions, now is the time! Feel free to make suggestions in the comments or out of the public eye on our suggestion form

This is the introductions thread. Say hi, tell us where you’re from and what you’re all about! In your introduction, answer these 3 questions: ➡️ What is your current music project and vision? ➡️ What moment made you want to pursue being a rock singer? ➡️ What's the main thing holding you back? We can’t wait to meet you!

Has a song ever moved me to tears? Hell yeah! A number of songs have. I think guys tend to be hesitant to talk about this, but before we get into this any further, here's a public service announcement: If you're serious about singing, you have to put in the effort. Nothing will be handed to you on a silver platter. Have you ever seen footage of Draven or of one of his students headlining an arena or even a 2,000 seat venue? Where are all the great success stories that have come from RSS? Even on YouTube, look at the views he's getting. Most of his more recent uploads have views in double digits. How does someone fail so spectacularly with a YouTube channel about rock vocals if he has anything of value to offer? Look at Draven's competitors. Chris Liepe, for example, uploads three times a week and every video Liepe uploads either gets views in the thousands, the tens of thousands or sometimes even over 100K views. Chris Liepe runs his business like a business and he actually has connections in the business because he takes it seriously. On his YT channel: Liepe has had Will Ramos as a guest. Liepe has had Andy Cizek as a guest. Liepe has had Spencer Sotelo as a guest. Now, can you really imagine a dilettante like Draven attracting guests of that caliber? I don't think so! If he asked, they wouldn't even respond. These are serious people and serious people associate with serious people. Success in the YouTube channel business doesn't typically come to dilettantes. For Draven to take a two year break and somehow not think that was going to wreck his channel...that level of naiveté is staggering. Look at the quality of people he has attracted. There is a protocol for joining. Instructions are given as to where to introduce yourself. There are three questions one is asked to answer. Three. The vast majority of the people this place attracts fail to post their introductions in the correct place and they also fail to answer all three questions. Wow. All three, boatload of questions that it is.
