If you have a marginal voice, the vocal processor will not make it better. I highly recommend going to one of the local community colleges and looking into voice lessons. Many colleges offer them and the courses are relatively inexpensive, mainly night courses. I've always been fortunate in having the ability to sing on key, but prior to taking vocal lessons I knew little or nothing about breath control, diction techniques, and lots of other neat things that I eventually learned during the six-week course. The course can make a good singer a great singer. And, I'm sure it can make a marginal singer a good singer.

Good Luck,

Gary

Voice lessons will always be a great idea, it should be first on your list. If you love to sing but have doubts about the quality of your voice or your voice is not fitted for the venue you are playing then the voice harmonizer is a great tool to add (to cover up)
No machine can improve a voice but it can add a bunch of weird sounding guys and girls to help you along.

My example: I have a Sinatra type of voice. Please don’t miss-read, I did not say a voice like Sinatra. Have you ever heard him sing any of the good 50’s music? In my case I got the job done by using a harmonizer for some 50’s 60’s and disco. I am even worst with country music. I don’t think anything can help that. (smile)

Yes, voice lessons are on my list. I've been practicing with a vocal warm up CD and try to sing everything I play. Sometimes I do crazy stuff like just play one hand of a Bach invention and sing the other hand.

My pitch is pretty good. I studied ear training/sight singing in college using solfeo. My tone isn't good at all... I have what I consider a functional voice. I can sing a part and the pitches are good but no style/tone/vibrato....

I got the Harmony M to help "color" my voice a bit for solo gigs and help on background vocals in a dou (with a real singer) Hopefully it well serve that purpose well.
