   I have been using your product at band practice everyday and it is a great tool to get your voice to sound clearer without having to crank everything at rehearsal. This is a great tool that really brings out the clarity in your voice. This really helped me to improve. Thank you for making a wonderful product! -Trey Alexander Guitar Player Magazines Guitar Hero   "Vam is a great tool for any singer who wants to really hear themselves and get better at their craft" Rafael Moreira rafaelmoreira.com myspace.com/magnetico VAMTASTIC... Pros: Almost unbreakable, Professional Functions, Clear Sound, Easy To Use, Powerful, Versatile Best Uses: Professional Recording, Events, Performances Describe Yourself: Professional Musician Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend The VAM is a tool that can be used "live", in "rehersal", or in "practice" situations. It is an inexpensive way to monitor your vocal performance. It can help with staying in tune and "saving your voice" because you can hear yourself better and you don't try to sing to loud...."Live" when monitors are not in the best position for you to hear clearly, the VAM is always with you for clear sound. It "attaches right on your microphone". Also it is great when you need to practice vocals in the studio or live when the rest of the band is too loud or when just listening to playback and you need alittle reheasal without bothering others, "hand held". This product has also helped friends of mine with hearing difficulties to hear "GREAT"!....What more can I say?.........Buy One Today!...... By RockVilla Franklin, MI Byron, Just wanted to let you know - I have custom ear plugs molded to my ear canals, that I got from metro hearing on 16 mile. The ear plugs use 3 different filters, depending on how much sounds you want filtered out. With these specific ear plugs, everything sounds the same as it would without ear plugs, only at a lower volume. None the less, using these ear plugs in conjunction with a VAM on my mic stand last night at practice, was hands down the best combination ive ever experienced when trying to hear myself. Better than any monitor set up, period. The VAM brought my vocals directly into my ear plug, which allowed my voice through in a crystal clear manner. We are going to use the VAM everywhere we go. Period. Every show from here on out. It's awesome. John Pregler Dead Media Group deadmediagroup.com myspace.com/deadmediagroup 248.568.9300 Hi Byron Just amazing, is all I can say about the VAM. I was always worried about what I didnt hear which was my own voice. No more worries, the solution is here!!!

Hey Byron, I have been using VAM for about 3 months and man what a difference. You really can hear everything you do. Great for warming up, recording, and singing live!, not to mention the extra's, and exercises you get on line. Well worth the money. VAM is a must have for any serious singer!.....Lp Larry Pancake larrypancake.com 
Byron, (Red Carbon Fiber) I LOVE MY VAM!! I was amazed at how much it has helped me, in rehearsal and on stage. My biggest critic, who is also my husband as well as our guitar player and songwriter was very skeptical and he was amazed too! And what a simple concept too, not alot of parts to breakdown and very affordable. Definitely worth the investment in your career and music! Thanks, Raven Blackwood Satan's Toilet Hi Byron, This is not WAM product itīs more like a WOW product. When I got the package I thought it was a joke. The way I had read about it I thougt there was a small speaker mounted on it. But I was going on a gig saturday so I gave it a shot. Mounted my Shure SM 58 Beta and it was AWESOME. I donīt know how you got the idea but it works and it works very well. Iīm amazed and youīll get 6 out of 6 for this one. Thank you very much Sincerly Soren korsgaard Editor Soundcheck.dk Hey Byron, Wanted to say that I have used the VAMŪ and it works pretty much just like you describe it! Havent used it in a live or practice situation but will this next week. Also my singer just went on about the vocal exercises he has had several different warm up books/cds but says these exercises are the most challenging and rewarding. Ill keep you posted!

The VAM is exactly what I was looking for my whole carrier, so thank you so much for this. Regards and thank you again Luis Cordero Serenata Band serenataband.com "Vam is a great tool for any singer who wants to really hear themselves and get better at their craft" Dear Mr. Cancelmo, Recently a good friend and fellow musician, pianist Cucho García, (cuchogarcia.com) from Alpharetta Georgia, came from the NAMM Show in California with a "curious" device called the Vocal Acoustic Monitor. I am the lead vocalist of his Trio and have since been using the Vocal Acoustic Monitor whenever we are performing and for whatever reason, I have no monitor nearby. Let me tell you, it makes a world of a difference. I feel I can sing more relaxed and is easier to stay in tune. Like any other vocalist, if I am only singing I "cup" my hand and place it besides my ear to listen to my self. That is not an option when I am playing percussion or guitar. A couple of weeks ago, I was coming down with a cold and was having a sore throat. I even thought I was going to have to get a substitute for a "solo" gig that I do with my guitar on Fridays. Finally, and thanks to the Vocal Acoustic Monitor, I did perform that night and was able to do my 3 sets without having to irritate my throat. Recently I took the Vocal Acoustic Monitor to a club in Atlanta where a local Salsa band was going to play. I allowed one of the back vocal singers to use the Vocal Acoustic Monitor, she was very pleased with the device. The other singers from the band were trying to borrow it from her. Thanks for this great tool Mr. Cancelmo. Nelson Vega Singer, Guitar Player and Percussionist With 28 years of experience. Smyrna, GA nelsonveg@gmail.com myspace.com/nelsonvegamusic "The VAMŪ is potentially as valuable to singers as ear plugs are to all musicians. This simple and inexpensive tool will help protect one's voice when professional sound reinforcement isn't available or doing its job." - Ravi, professional musician and consultant to the music products industry. Hello! I used the vocal monitor (I think that's what it's called) in class today. It was very interesting to notice the differences in my technique when I was using it, and when I wasn't. Mostly, I noticed that I felt the need to sing louder when I wasn't using the monitor, because I couldn't hear myself. When I sang very softly with the monitor, it still felt loud enough. If only we could always hear ourselves so well normally, that would alleviate a lot of vocal stress that many of us experience from pushing too hard. If I pushed vocally while using the monitor, I could immediately tell that I was using an unnecessary amount of vocal tension, and quickly corrected my behavior. So, I think the device is great because it allows us to see that even when we can't hear ourselves in a room full of singers, we may still be singing loudly enough (and maybe, a lot of the time, we are singing too loudly and hence hurting our voices). I learned a lot from the monitor; now I won't feel the need to always hear myself, because I know that i'm singing at a sufficient volume. Thanks, Jenny  Hey Byron, The VAMŪ is one of the greatest ways to train your voice =) As a guitarist, I was blown away of how useful this VAMŪ was, considering I play guitar. VAMŪ has made me become a better backup vocalist and has helped me with my vocal skills period. This is the most useful product, in the vocal industry. Take Care, Eliott Janz 16yr old guitarist As heard on WAPL 105.7 myspace.com/edjrocks Hey Byron, Hey I got to try it jammin with the band yesterday and I think it is great! I am a huge fan of the in ear monitor but this is very true to the voice and it def helps keeps perfect pitch! Not many artist can afford in ear monitors and with the VAMŪ you really dont need it! Great product keep up the good work! I give it an A! Joe Murena myspace.com/themurenaproject About Murena MURENA, fronted by lead singer Joe Murena, who placed in the Top 10 men on Season 4 of American Idol, gives a fresh take on the rock/pop genre by blending strong vocals, catchy melodies and driving rhythms to craft a sound that is truly memorable. With a voice that is as good live as it is on CD, MURENA is def a band that is not to be missed live! Byron, I've been using the VAMŪ in rehearsals with my band, and so far, I'm loving it! As I mentioned, I'm a drummer, so working the mic was never a possibility before, and now I feel like I have a whole new level of control over my voice. Even when I'm still using my hotspot monitor, because of the shape of the VAMŪ, and the fact that I end up cradling it against the side of my face, I'm listening more to my own "mix" than to anything else on stage! We have a gig on Thursday, and I can't wait to see how the VAMŪ impacts our stage show. My girlfriend, who plays bass and sings in the group, also loves it, and being a singer with far less choral experience, she really benefits from the added reflections. I'll be glad to take a photo for you and write up a brief, quotable blurb real soon. Thanks again for such an innovative vocal tool - I'll be in touch soon to let you know when to look for VAMŪ in Performing Songwriter. As promised, it was submitted for our Holiday Gift Guide in November, but I envision a longer evaluation for the website sometime in the next few weeks. Keep ya posted! Dave Jones Assistant Technology Editor Performing Songwriter Magazine performingsongwriter.com JAIME VENDERA I was recently contacted by a plastics engineer named Byron Cancelmo, who had the same enthusiasm for personal monitoring as I did. He told me he had created a new product that wasnt out on the market yet, called the Vocal Acoustic Monitor. The VAMŪ was similar in concept to cupping the ears and the Hearphones. As excited as I was at the possibility of a new professional grade product, I didnt get my hopes up That was until Byron sent me three VAMŪs to try for myself. Let me tell you, these things are amazing and will become as common as the microphone clip.  This product is solid and uniquely shaped to reach from the ear all the way to the mouth. I could not believe the difference in sound. It was 10X better than just cupping my ears. Best of all, it is cool looking and you can either use it as a handheld device or mount it to your microphone. It also includes a detachable cover that functions as a Bass EnhancerŪ. Although bass enhancement is not my thing, it does change the sound and make it richer before it reaches your ear. Out of the three different models he sent me, Woodgrain scratch resistant graphic film, Black Carbon Fiber, and clear polycarb I prefer the clear acrylic model. The best thing about this product is that the price range is cheap for the quality of product you are receiving. I am now using them as a staple to my teaching methods and I am dedicating a section to the VAMŪs in the 2nd edition of my book, Raise Your Voice. I just had a singer come in for a week of lessons and the main thing we were working on was intonation. He just seemed to fall flat a lot of times. Byron was kind enough to overnight a VAMŪ as a gift for my student and he is now using it religiously for hi practice sessions. What I find so invaluable about the VAMŪ is that not only does it help you to maintain correct pitch, it will keep you from over-singing and blowing your voice out, which tends to happen a lot in live situations when the singer is struggling to hear themselves. Well, I think I rambled on long enough. I hope you learned something. Peace,  thevoiceconnection.com voicecouncil.com  "After using the VAMŪ (Vocal Acoustic MonitorŪ) for the last 3 months on a regular basis, I have found some incredible benefits. The members of my band and I have noticed a great difference in how much more often I can sing, without becoming horse in the throat. I have also noticed that the VAMŪ cuts a lot of inner ear pressure that I would have from the sheer volume of playing live gigs. The design naturally blocks alot of the direct signal that can damage the eardrum. The VAMŪ has also made using a bullhorn, (used in a couple of songs that we do) much easier, eliminating the feedback that would occur often. This is, next to the microphone, the most important piece of equipment that a singer must have" Brad Kahn Lead Singer of 851 lbs of Jam Detroit, Michigan 
 
"I ALWAYS USED MY HANDS...NOW I HAVE VAMŪ" MICHAEL "DENIS" FREDA The DOVELLS A FIREBOWL RECORDING ARTIST Byron, I have been using the VAMŪ quite a bit, especially during solo practice, songwriting sessions, and warm-ups. I have also been using it live quite a bit at bigger venues when there is a lot of noise. The unit has worked great for me and it has tweaked the interest of many of the area's other musicians. I hope everything is going well for you. Thanks, Jeff  Byron, The VAMŪ just plain ROCKS! What a great invention to help singers hear themselves better under any circumstance. A real winner.

Byron, I was given a VAMŪ at a lesson one day with vocal coach Jaime Vendera. He had been talking about this new device he was endorsing that helps you to better hear yourself sing. I used it during the lesson on the song Superstition by Stevie Wonder, which is a tough song, as is any Stevie song. The second I held it up to my ear, I immediately could feel and hear an improvement with my performance. I could better hear the actual tone I was producing, I could better control my intonation, and I was able to sing easily with the music playing loudly because the VAMŪ lets you hear yourself perfectly no matter how loud any background noises are. Thanks to using the VAMŪ while practicing, I was able to perfect the song. I also realized that it has many more applications than just for live performance and practicing. This is the perfect device for any singer to use at a band practice or show, when they need to warm up before a show or between songs while the band is playing loudly. It brings the sound directly into your ear, making it easy for you to go backstage during an instrumental break, do a few vocal exercises to bring your voice back into shape, then go back out on stage; all without any strain from the excess volume. You could also use this in a choir or back up singing situation, where you need to hear yourself in order to stay in tune and focused with what the other singers are doing. I've also been using it during the recording of my CD. I leave one headphone with the music and a little bit of vocal on my left ear, and hold the VAMŪ to my right ear and my pitch accuracy and vocal stamina is better than its ever been. Austin Jenkins R&B/POP Vocalist myspace.com/austinjenkins89 Debut CD, 'PEACE OF SOUL' out in Fall 2007. "I think the Vocal Acoustic Monitor is a no-nonsense, simple solution for musicians to hear themselves in performance. If you are a drummer or guitarist that is seeking a quick and affordable solution to hear yourself better in your performance, try the VAMŪ". Robert Lunte thevocaliststudio.com voicecouncil.com  Hey Byron For many years, I have taught my singing students to monitor themselves by using the best monitors available. During my students' Vocal Development for the past 27 years, I have taught my students to effectively listen to themselves by forming a cone with their hand over their ear which allows them to effectively sing into their ears. This tactic allows you to listen to yourself while singing to enable you to clearly hear the tone, color and intonation of your voice. While singing into your hand is effective, it does not come close to hearing yourself when you use a Vocal Acoustic Monitor. The design of the VAMŪ allows the entire sound of your voice to get into your ear allowing you to hear the entire spectrum of your voice from the low bass frequencies through the mid range and up to the high treble frequencies. The VAMŪ is an amazing innovation that I and my students have used to listen to yourself acoustically in ways that you've never imagined. The VAMŪ can also attach to an average microphone used by many live musicians and will also give you the opportunity of hearing yourself even more effectively in a live amplified setting. The VAMŪ is an awesome tool that can be used in practice, rehearsals, lessons and performance. Many of my students and talent clients are now using the VAMŪ with the utmost of enthusiasm. The Healthy Voice, The Jimi Zimmardi Voice Studios and East Coast Music Talent are proud to endorse the Vocal Acoustic Monitor for use in a wide variety of singing settings in practice and performance.

The VAMŪ is an absolute must live on the stage. No matter where or how loud the environment you can hear yourself so you can maintain perfect pitch and never overcompensate your voice again. This is the only vocal tool in the world that will do this. The VAMŪ adds style to your performance. People ask about the VAMŪ during shows and agree that it is cool and makes total sense. Do not be afraid to try something new. The VAMŪ over the course of two years has had about 9 different versions until I felt it looked awesome and provided the most volume to your ear. VAMŪ users have been more than 100% positive about the Vocal Acoustic MonitorŪ. The VAMŪ is simply amazing! Try it once; you will not perform without it again. You do not need bulky floor monitors anymore either. If you have good floor monitors and enough room on stage, the more sound the merrier; but honestly you don't need them. I promise you will sing better than you could have ever imagined by using this incredible Monitor. Please e-mail me your testimonials, pictures, myspace etc. These will be uploaded to the site promoting you also. In time, I will be traveling city to city, hiring bands that use the VAMŪ for an educational music showcase. Of Course Jaime Vendera will be present and Vocal Coaches from your area to provide tutorials to aspiring singers. Jaime Vendera actually called me early in the development with VAMŪ to tell me how loud his drummer was and that he had used my prototype during practice. With all the gear Jaime has, he said the VAMŪ provided all the sound he needed and that he would not perform without it again. This story has been repeating itself with many other performers as well. I asked Jaime to provide vocal tutorial with the purchase of the VAMŪ. Jaime is a Rock Star Voice Coach and has written many books about voice, his background is extensive in vocal Coaching. I felt it would be perfect to have a vocal warm-up/cool down audio as well. Jaime created "Jump Start Your Voice" 8 simple rules every singer should know as well as a special hidden link on this website with 15 minute Vocal Warm Up and Cool down with explanation by Jaime Vendera. Burn it to disc and warm up with Jaime on the way to the show. With a purchase of the VAMŪ Jump Start Your Voice and the Warm up are free, this is a $150 value. This VAMŪ went on for sale for the first time Late July 2007. Many new stories are coming in every day. Dealers are beginning to stock the VAMŪ. Finally there is something different, innovative and exciting to see in a music store when displayed with or without a microphone clipped to a microphone stand. Walk up to the VAMŪ and say "Check 1, 2, 3" and you will be convinced. Thank you for your purchase; hope to be in your city in 2008. "Don't Jam without your VAMŪ!"
