EXTREME VOCAL INSTITUTE BLOG

We are less than one month into 2025 and we're already off and running with good vibes for Extreme Vocal Institute! Here's what's happened thus far:


ONE.

David has been featured in a video on YouTube's channel with other vocal coach creators to highlight our community and his work on our channel. Drop a 💬 on it if you've been loving our channel ♥️

TWO.

Speaking of YouTube - we've been on 🔥 posting new long form videos this year and we don't plan on stopping! If you haven't seen them, check out the following:



We have lots more planned for our channel this year and will be diving back into our Behind The Screams interview series very soon!


THREE.

Our course program EVI Now has gotten a visual makeover with new features to help streamline the learning process and help you track your progress throughout our courses. We've also published a new course, making that THIRTY EIGHT in total.


New formatting for EVI Now courses allows easier navigation through lessons and progress tracking

We plan to continue expanding and improving the program through the rest of 2025 to ensure that our members are getting the most out of their time with us and always have new things to dive into and work on.


If you are a member and are enjoying the program, please consider leaving us a review here. We are particularly interested in hearing about how the new updates are treating you all!


We are currently running a sale to celebrating the new features on EVI Now! Save 35% on all plans with the code NEWLOOK at checkout.



FOUR.

David has been on tour with his band Renesans and doing in-person lessons while on the road. We will be continuing to offer this on future tours where venues and scheduling permits. It's been a great success thus far and David has been really enjoying getting to meet so many of you and talk vocals!


If you want us to make in-person lessons available in your area, request a show in your city via Bandsintown so we can submit a list to Renesans' booking agent to hopefully make it to your area sometime in 2025!


Admittedly, 2024 was a bit of an odd year for us as we learned how to balance David's band getting busier with staying on top of all our platforms with Extreme Vocal Institute (we aren't perfect) BUT we've found a really good balance and are committed to making sure that both Renesans and Extreme Vocal Institute remain of equal priority!


Looking forward to making the rest of 2025 bigger and better! Thank you for all the continued support and for helping us reach new heights in every direction.



The second leg of the Trinity of Terror Tour wrapped up this past weekend in Cincinnati, OH. Extreme Vocal Institute's David Benites was on the tour working with members of We Came As Romans, Motionless In White, and Ice Nine Kills as well as being tagged in to perform "Slaughterhouse" alongside Motionless In White each night.

In an Instagram post David said: "Trinity of Terror Tour is done! Hands down the craziest experience of my life so far. Can't even go through the huge amount of memories captured without a giant smile on my face.


We Came As Romans, Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills, very proud of all the great vocal work we've done together here, and all your leaps and bounds in progress. The best times with new friends made and bonds made stronger with old.


Amazing having family be out here with me, as well as meeting so many of YOU, my EVI family every day. Special thanks again to Chris [Motionless] for inviting me to share the stage and share the most intense and unforgettable performances. Now, onto the next!"


During the time on the road, David put out a 30 second voice lesson covering how to scream like Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris, whose parts he was performing in "Slaughterhouse". He also shared this trick for finding time to practice and this video of tongue twisters for time with Ricky Armellino (Ice Nine Kills).


The tour made its way through Blue Ridge Rock Festival with We Came As Romans playing Thursday and the remainder of the package playing Saturday. You can see David's recap of Blue Ridge here.


The tour also included a bucket list home show for Motionless In White at Montage Mountain in Scranton, PA complete with an insanely loud crowd and pyrotechnics.


Leg three of the Trinity of Terror Tour kicks off on Halloween and runs through the month of November with a couple dates in December. The third leg will feature Atreyu as the opener.


David is currently on the True Power Tour with Fit For A King, Pierce The Veil, and headliner I Prevail with Yours Truly opening. You can keep up with all the shenanigans from that tour on his Instagram.
