News Post Update

To those that dont know her, Hayley Williams is the lead vocalist and front woman of a band called Paramore. Before she even reached 17 years of age, she already received several awards for her voice and style.

Since 2004, the teenage band steadily rose to fame and it now remains one of the most popular alternative pop rock bands with female vocals. Most of the bands appeal comes from the newness of having a female vocalist in an otherwise all-male band, fairly unique riffs, catchy melodies, and deeper and more mature lyrics than other bands their same age and genre.

But its undeniable that a huge part of Paramores success comes from their front womans mass appeal and superior vocal abilities in the high and low notes and she makes belting out huge notes seem so effortless, powerful, and precise.

Do you really want to know how to sing like Hayley Williams?

If we all had the privilege of looking at a great singer in the making backwards, we could see how they were vocally when they started out: not as polished and perfect, a little off pitch here, a little strain there, a little more average, more human, like the rest of us.

I think its very generous of Hayley to pay tribute to whom tribute is due in her vocal success: celebrity voice instructor Brett Manning, and how she gave the program an honest and open testimonial of her vocal journey.

Her popular Singing Success testimonial at YouTube may be something you wouldnt bother viewing twice, but if you look closely and read between the lines, theres gold to be gleaned from it, vocal gold that you can actually use for yourself!

Want to know how this Hayleys simple Proactive-like testimonial can help YOU? Here Goes:

When I was younger... it was really hard for me to get a lot of range without straining

To begin with, Hayley Williams didnt have a very high range. She had the potential to sing high, but was LIMITED at the start and also strained like most singers did when they tried to sing higher.

and thats when I decided...to look for someone that could help me...see what Im doing wrong.

If youve been going around in circles like her wondering why you dont seem to be improving on your own, you should seriously consider getting help from a qualified voice instructor.

I found Brett through a friend..I realized that this is who I need to be with.

There are many factors that make a voice teacher qualified, but go with your gut on how your teacher approaches your singing and observe how he or she hones your voice. Only YOU can know what is best for you. But on the whole, Singing Success seems to be getting a lot of positive feedback.

After 5 lessons I guess and I noticed a big difference already.

Its important for you to realize that in-person voice lessons at Singing Success studios arent usually scheduled daily, but paced over a period of several days to weeks while the student works what he learned in-between. Realize that even with the best singing instruction in the world, your voice will only improve in proportion to how YOU work it given the correct technique.

He changed the way I was going about singing but he didnt make me sing like somebody who I wasnt.

Voices are as diverse as the people who own them. One vital characteristic of a good voice teacher is working with what you have naturally been born with, only enhancing your strengths, correcting your wrongs, and strengthening your weaknesses. Run away from him if he tries to make you sing like someone else. However there IS a universal way on how sing properly. This is what you should learn to do.

I kinda put all my faith in Brett and from the second he said, You have no head voice. Its like all this light airy falsetto thats gonna tear you apart.

Wow, the legendary vocal powerhouse Hayley Williams started out on a light airy falsetto? You heard it, her teacher said so himself! Not only did she start low, she also started out weak. Her voice wasnt always as powerful before as it is now. Do you know what this means? If she could go from low to high and weak to strong, so can YOU!

Heres another powerful secret hidden in her testimonial: head voice. Head voice is one of the building blocks to a strong, powerful high voice. Its not the same as falsetto, but head voice in itself isnt enough to sing powerfully high. The Singing Success program shows you how to develop head voice, as well as the two other essential components needed for that killer voice.

Another important thing: faithspecifically, faith in your instructor, the instruction, and faith in your own voice that with proper training it will do what you want it do eventually.

I just did the sounds Brr gugugug whining baby cry nah-nah, no-no-no and I was like, how is this gonna help me sing?

Look at this very closely as she just name-dropped a few of the very same exercises that Brett Manning used on her to transform her voice from powerless to powerful. These are just silly syllables on a scale, but Singing Success teaches you how properly utilize these silly sounds to strengthen the vocal cords. Do you want to learn how?

Its been about 5 years since Ive taken from him and I wouldnt go to anyone else.

Hayley Williams has started taking voice lessons from Brett when she was 13. By the time this interview was taken, she was all famous already and 5 years have passed since. Those 5 years she spent with discipline on applying what she had learned with patience, persistence, and determination. Are YOU willing to work it for even half, one-third, or one-fourth the time and effort she did?

It has been said that anything worth having is hardly ever easy. After all is said and done, its really up to you to take the steps to make this dream come true.

So do you have what it takes to be the next Hayley Williams?

Sometimes, all you need to dcor is paint, why get brand new furniture and waste money? First of all, the painting will help it to look new, and it is also being helped when your furniture doesnt have colors. The painting makes your old furniture look good. You might have a folding table at the patio of your house or adjusted in the dining room. Does it look too old now? Has it become Rusty? If yes, then this article is just for you, on this article Ill be teaching you how to paint a folding table and apparently will be suggesting you the best materials to be used to paint a folding table.

Before you start painting the table, you need to find out which color you want your table to be painted with! You have to get the best color possible, and obviously, the color you choose must wonderfully go with the decoration of your room because when it doesnt, it looks bad. There are some colors like natural wood color or natural steel color; you can try them too if you want your plastic folding table to have the classic wooden look.

What to do Before Painting?

There are a few things which you must do before you start painting to get your job be done entirely. However, the first thing to do is cleaning the table as for when you dont clean the table the rusty look stays there even after the table is perfectly painted with the best color material. You can use a scrub and soap to brush the table and clean each and every dirt mark which makes it look bad and after you are done the cleaning, wash the table with smooth, clean water and apparently make it dry when it is wet.

You will need to buy a few stuff too before you start painting, one of the essential things to buy is a primer as before you start painting you will have to prime the table. Applying prime on the folding table will help your table to have a better finish and obviously make your job easier. The plastic must be smooth and dry before you start priming otherwise the table is not going to be primed in the finest way imaginable. On the other hand, you will need to buy spray paints to paint your folding table.

The Painting Part

After getting the decent spray paints and primers, you will have to get your furniture entirely cleaned and dried as I have mentioned before in the article. And after it is nicely cleaned and dried, take the primer and add a coat of prime, you can also add two coats of your prime, it depends on the furniture you are going to paint on actually. There are prime which are specially made of plastic too; it would be a wise decision if you go for those. Your furniture will need to at least have a satin finish to look the perfect. After that, you will have to wait until the prime gets dried and after it gets dried, you will have to spray paint it in the finest way possible. By the way, you can also find pain sprays which are highly recommended for plastic furniture. There are many excellent brands which work correctly, and the color stays with the furniture for a long time, and on the other hand, you will not have to be worried about the rust which is a huge problem.

The most important part comes after you are done painting the plastic folding table in the finest way imagined, well, the most critical part is to keep patient and wait until the spray paint which you have sprayed on your table is dried up.

You have successfully done your Job

After the paint is dried, you are done. I know it is an extremely easy stuff, but sometimes it becomes a considerable problem to paint over the plastic tables as sometimes you dont get the output as the way you want, so, I will suggest you get the best spray paints and the primer!

Now that I shave my head, I love it and I think I will keep on shaving it for a very long time. However, it took me a long time to decide to actually shave it.

The way I decided to shave my head was through a test. I took my hands and pulled the hair back at the hairline on my head, so I couldn't see any hair. This was so I could get a feel for what I would look like with a clean shaven head. Once I did that I decided that I wouldn't look too bad, so I bought a pair of clippers from Wal-mart to shorten the hair before I cleaned it up with a razor.

If you're not quite sure if you want to shave your head, you can always put a guard on the clippers and go down incrementally, so you still have some hair if you decide you don't want to shave your head. This will cut down on the time you have to wait for your hair to grow back.

You can keep on putting different guards that will allow you to cut your hair shorter and shorter. Of course this is going to take some time, but it might be worth it if you decide not to shave your head after all.

Ultimately, to be able to tell whether you like the shaved head look you are going to have to shave your head. Once you do shave your head you may like it, you may hate it or have mixed feelings about the look.

It's similar to when you grow your beard out for awhile. You get used to seeing yourself with a beard. Then once you shave your beard, you look different and are not sure if you like it because you are so used to seeing yourself with a beard. Then after a while you are used to the look of being clean shaven. The same thing applies to your head.

Not everyone is going to like your shaved head. My mother still tells me she likes me better with hair. Other people on the other hand are going to love it. Be true to yourself and decide if you like it or don't like it based on what you think and not what other people think.

As a final note, another major reason why I decided to shave my head was I wasn't doing anything with my hair. I wasn't styling it, I would just get out of the shower and let it dry.

On top of that my hair was starting to recede a little bit(I'm only 24), bummer right? Instead of fighting it and trying to use various products to try to get my hair back I decided to just get rid of all of it.

I hope this article has given you some help deciding whether or not you should shave your head. I do hope you give it a try, I think it's something every man should do at some point in his life to see if he likes it.

P.S.- I just remembered something I wanted to mention earlier. One time I cut my hair really short, using a number one guard. I did not like the look at that point in time. I thought my face was to skinny. A couple years after that I had gained some weight and my face filled out. Then I shaved my head and loved it.

If you shave your head and don't like it now don't discount it completely. Keep an open mind about it. You might end up loving the look in the future.

Can there be anything like friendship between two people of the opposite sex? Many people think that this is impossible but i think that platonic relationship between a man and a woman is very healthy. Many women confess to having spent wonderful time with their male best friends with the absence of their husbands. Their husbands think it is great and i think they are right. A good marriage is based on trust and something like friendships with an opposite-sex becomes completely inconsequential. You must agree with me that this is a new relationship phenomenon featuring in only this generation. The previous generations believed that opposite-sex friendships were a potential bombs to many marriages. Family and marriage therapists believe that the easiest opposite-sex friendships to maintain are the friendships which were established long before someone got married. Such relationships are not threatening since you had them before you were married.

Some of these friends are helpful when it comes to shoe shopping, some offer perfect shoulders to cry on and some good ones are good at both. They respect each others partners a lot. Problems come in if one spouse in marriage does not have friends from the opposite sex. If your husband has some girlfriends he will rarely have a problem with you having man friends. Dramas start when partners create new opposite-sex friendships and keeps it a secret from her/his spouse. It is a clear indication that the person feels romantically attracted to the new friend. Such behaviors greatly interferes with issues concerning trust and harbors romantic jealousy. If one partner is so outgoing and the other one is reserved. The reserved one always thinks that the other one has romantic relationships with his female friends. Such unclear speculations can lead to divorce.

Deep insecurity in a relationship leads to thriving jealousy which shoots form zero to somewhere close to paranoia. You should introduce all your friends to your partner to avoid panic attacks. Couples should establish an honest and open communication about opposite-sex friendships. They are very beneficial. John who maintains a close relationship with females some of who are married including his high school friend, Staicy. They usually meet once or twice a week with staicy who is sometimes accompanied by her husband. John says that he values the perspective provided by married women. They are more knowledgeable when it comes to relationship and are far better listeners. Their advice is always great. It is quiet unrealistic to expect one person to meet all your social needs. Your spouse cannot be everything to you. Well-managed cross-sex friendships are healthy to any marriage.

When people get married they tend to place so many expectations on marriage. They expect the relationship to fulfill all the social needs which might be impossible. People who hang out in mixed gender groups are more happy than those who only interact with people of their own gender. Opposite-sex friendships are more fulfilling. It is described as a spiritual form of love just like sisterly or brotherly love. in most cases the two friends share some interests or hobbies which are not usually shared by the spouse. It is a wonderful feeling to have a platonic relationship. However your partner should always have an open invitation.
