Voice Builder App Reviews

This app was great for a couple weeks then no sound! Anyone have any idea why? I really liked using this app but without sound its really a waste of $$$! I dont recommend.

I wrote here that I had no audio on my iPad, and I reported the problem. Am happy with the quick response I got explaining that iPad can easily get set on mute, unbeknownst to the user. Otherwise, I am finding the app perfectly useful.

This app is a blessing to me if it can give me back my range that I lost due to prolonged illness.

Very good app if one proceeds with caution. Careless use could do harm as one could damage their vocal cords by straining to achieve volume. Im a huge fan of voice level singing as a way of avoiding strain, so Ive been using the app to increase vocal strength in the same way I would use weights to build arm strength. The secret is consistent use with gradual increases in volume by gradual increases in diaphragm pressure.

Came highly recommended. It is difficult to do but that is the challenge. It is helping and I like it a lot.

I just purchased this app and it has no audio. I dont even know if it is good!!!! I need help getting it to work

This app was suggested my my speech pathologist and Im finding it a perfect way to get a great vocal workout. I have spasmodic dysphonia, a rare voice disorder. After doing a half hour of singing / saying the sounds, its like Ive been in a gym- a real workout. I find it very tiring, but can tell it is helping me slowly build vocal strength and stamina. What a great value for a tool I need so much. I use it twice a day, and find I can do it while driving, getting ready in the morning, or doing other simple tasks.

I am very disappointed in this app and would get my $5 back if I could. This main screen of this app gives the impression that it is using the microphone to monitor your voice and give actual feedback on your voice and pitch. Also, with the wireframe head it could also be monitoring your face with the camera (but I was not expecting that). So if it doesnt monitor your face, volume or pitch what does it do. Well it essentially is playing a dumb loop that takes no feedback whatsoever. Singing at the wrong pitch - no problem because the app is not listening. Not singing at all - no problem because the app is not listening. It has the possibilities to be so much better if it could give you actual feedback on the sound you are generating. Dont buy this app. Buy the Erol Studios app instead, it is by far the best I have seen for a singing coach type application.

This app was a recommendation from a friend. When downloaded there is No sound!!! I tried deleting and reinstalling, checking every possible audio issue it could be. Any suggestions or help???

Great app heard improvements after 3 days it help me with my breathing in everything definitely feel the power in my voice I took like a 3wk break lol but the more you use this app the better your singing voice. It works Ill recommend to anybody.

The Catona voice building technique is changing quality of human life: sound current is releasing subconscious fears & suppressed emotions! Power and voice flexibility refreshes life perception and opens up new ways for self expression! Great for building self esteem and enhancing creativity.

I have been delighted to hear the improvement in my voice.

Ive been singing professionally since I was eleven years old (1961). During this past year Ive had increasing difficulty with my voice. Cracking, hoarseness, reduced range, tone and stamina. We all take our voice for granted until we start to lose it. Ive been very worried sick that despite my various efforts, my voice quality would never come back to what it was. I even started turning down work (losing money) and was very discouraged about my performing future. A very knowledgeable and good friend suggested that I call Gary Catona. After describing my situation and what I had done to mitigate it, Gary told me to download his Voice Builder App, start doing the exercises and call him back in two or three weeks. Yesterday on the way to my gig I did the first 30 minute set of Baritone, Lower Register exercises. Keep in mind, although I did my best to sing each passage properly following all of the instructions, I feel like I did them imperfectly at best. Much to my delight, my singing last night was by far the best that its been in over a year. My guitar player and I alternate who sings each song so, I pretty much sang every other song during our 4 hour gig. My tone and range were much purer and stronger without any hoarseness or cracking. I also noticed that my placement shifted effortlessly back and down in my throat instead of forward where Ive been singing the last year. I closed out the night with Jimmy Webbs song "Still Within the Sound of My Voice" (kind of ironic). Absolutely the best that Ive ever sung that deeply moving but very challenging tune. Last night I received many compliments on my singing from the restaurants patrons and staff and amazingly, even my drummer noticed and commented on the change. Im really excited to see what improvement will happen as I use Vocal Builder in the coming weeks and months. I realize that everyones voice is different and not everyone will have the instant results that Ive experienced but, I believe that this app is a wonderful tool to help strengthen the "core muscles" of ones singing voice. *** Bless You Gary Catona ***

5 stars previously, 1 star today. I downloaded an update in the last day or two. Now the app just keeps cycling through set-up screens. Frustrating.

Seems like it would be a great program but I cant use it since the app has no audio when I try to use it in my iPhone.

It works! Its simple to use and one of the biggest values/bargains for actors and singers out there. Should be app of the year in its category. W. K.

Not worth it.

Last two updates caused the screen orientation not to work anymore.

This is a good app but in recent post ios7 updates, there is a ipad bug in which the app appears upside down when started in landscape mode with button on the right. It remains this way until you flip it over the other way and then back again. This is very annoying to have to do EVERY time you start the app.

Great app has highly improved my upper register and falsetto! The graphics could use a tune up, more modern, otherwise good!
