Pitch of voice is currently the single most important singing issue for vocalists throughout the world. Especially since the expansion of popular competitive television shows, contestants sing to win prizes and fame. The most commonly noted problem by judges are pitch of voice problems. Naturally the millions of people watching these shows pick up on the terminology and have begun their own pitchy analysis of singers on television and in live performances. Singers who desire success can not avoid this important problem that plagues most singers. The fact is that all singers sing off pitch at times and it is only a matter of how long they remain off pitch and how far off pitch they go.  Singing software can help.

New singing software, such as made in the USA PitchPerfector™, provides serious training software that helps singers sing on pitch. The software literally trains vocalists to sing on pitch through a step by step training program that uses the software to provide neurobiological visual feedback that taps many resources of the human learning system. The fact is that most singers only pay attention to a single source of audio signal to interpret their own pitch of voice. This singing software helps the singer intuitively focus on other audio feedback, such as reflections from walls. In addition to audio entrainment, this singing software helps entrain proper muscle memory.

In the current day, singing in pitch is perhaps the biggest issue of all, if you watch American idol or other popular television shows. Intonation, pitchy, off pitch, are all words used to describe problem with singing pitch. The biggest problem for singers is that they can not hear their own pitch accurately and have for centuries had no effective means to understand the current state of their singing pitch. Fortunately, new technology has provided for new tools available to help them sing on pitch, until recently.

New singing software analyzes pitch in real time and provides visual feedback for singers and helps them to improve their pitch immediately. The interesting thing is that the effects of pitch improvement tend to last longer than the training sessions and for several weeks in some cases. The singing software is inexpensive and runs on most computers, making it accessible to virtually any singer. There are plans for new versions of the software for iPad and iPhone applications in late 2011. There is no silver bullet, because practice is still required, but perhaps this is as close as it gets. Surely future contest winners will be using this singing pitch software.

We all remember sitting in boring English classes being lectured about how important writing is. We were bored to death about how to use the comma, quotation marks and semi-colons. We were taught about how a sentence works, how a paragraph works and how paragraphs are arranged together to make a cogent essay. We were all taught the same formulas on how to do this, and yet all writing is different.

So few people write the same since not all of us practice writing in the same way. Not all of us want to write well and not all of us know how to improve our own writing. We all get taught the same rules about how to write and, as students, we are all given the same topics to write about, but every teacher can tell you no two students write the same. So, if we’re all taught the same, what makes us all different? Practice.

Better writing, and therefore better writers, is made not by following rules, but by putting them into practice. It sounds simple enough, but the more a person writes, the better her or she becomes at it. A good writer knows when to break rules of writing and when not to. A good writer knows the point of writing is not following rules, but communicating effectively.
