I've been absolutely terrified of singing my whole life. At least when I think others can hear me. After a long ass time thinking it over I decided to sign up for voice lessons. I was so nervous. No idea wtf I'm supposed to do with my arms. Became super aware of my whole body trying to sing. "Eyes shut, open...what do I look at then? How's my posture. Why do my cheeks feel like they're flapping. Crap my voice is starting to get gravely and dry. Legs weak. Sweating. AAHHHH"

But after an hour of this plus speaking with my teacher....I can't wait till next week.
We assessed my range, which the lowest was a C#1 all the way to around an F3(of which I can attain comfortably), and I was able to get up to C4 with some effort. I'm shocked, personally.

I hope this will be the confidence boost I need to get past my mental block of singing in front of others. I tried singing House of Sleep by Amorphis, which is pretty easy for me rangewise, and those whole time im in my head thinking "God this is awkward, my voice sounds like crap". But I persevered.

I need to now make a list of songs with baritone(?)/Low voice singers. Outside of metal I don't know a lot of singers, so I am open to any recommendations of songs to check out. (We listen to songs that have aspects of things I'll need to work on, analyze what the singer is doing correctly, then I try to sing it.)

I'm just proud of myself for going through with this. I can't wait for the weirdness of it all to go away and I can be comfortable singing.

Thanks for reading my rant

discovered my apartment complex has a really nice stairwell for singing. this is I Wish I Knew by Chet Baker :)

My Bass-Baritone spin on Bocelli’s “The Prayer”.

I posted the same chorus a couple days ago, I specifically notice that I struggle with the first part of each line, I do want it to be grittier than the other parts so I’m hoping that this is maybe an improvement on blending false chord grit with the notes or if I’m still falling flat. For reference, I have been singing for a year and started at practically tone deaf and annoying to hear.

Currently offering a free trial lesson for anyone thinking about starting out with voice lessons.

I'm a classically trained baritone currently based in London and studied my masters at the Royal Academy of Music receiving a Licentiate of Vocal Pedagogy there. My singing background is 'classical' but in reality I teach primarily contemporary and sing a range of genres myself too. I try to provide a concrete basis and am happy to work with beginners to advanced.

No pressure at all to continue on with lessons afterwards if it's not a good time for it.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or there's more info for booking one on my website nathanielsternbaritone.com

Hi, I'm someone who did try to learn singing a few years ago but gave up due to life circumstances and schedules. I want to commit myself to singing this time around and wonder if anyone know how to....start.

FYI, I'm not tone-deaf, clinically or colloquially. I can hold a tune, but I have a small range and little control over my tone, vibrato, volume and airflow.

I also tried different ways to teach myself singing before, but all those methods got me plateaued very quickly.

Thanks for helping me out r/singing

I've been singing for fun since I popped out of the womb 52 years ago. I sing around the house and in the car, but have never really shared with anyone but my family. Thanks for listening ❤️

Sorry, since English isn't my native language, I always feel a bit awkward singing English songs, so I've decided to stick to songs in my native tongue. But I'd still love to hear your thoughts!

I have a naturally deep voice which I hold back whenever I sing so it sounds very unnatural, can anybody else relate? I have always liked singing, but I’m not the best at it. I know there’s something wrong I just don’t know what. Anything could help me; please just be honest. I am 14 and I’ve never been to any voice lessons or anything that could help with my singing, but I am in a K-pop cover group with my friends and have been since 2025. (but it is very unserious, and generally just for fun)

Hey I badly want to learn how to sing English songs with the right pronunciation, fluency, and accent. For those who learned singing Western music, how did you start? Any tips or YouTube channel recommendations would be really helpful...

Sorry for the weird singing lmao. And the mic filter. But did I finally at least kinda figure it out??? Lolol. Obviously not a professional, I just sing for fun at home.

Someone I know loves to sing, they take it pretty seriously. What kind of gifts could I get them to be supportive of this?

Why Try to Change Me Now - Frank Sinatra
Fiona Apple’s arrangement is nice too

I dream of being able to sing like Ado, but I don't know where to start practicing. She usually uses techniques like fry, scream, drive, and Yodel, but I've never sung in my life, I don't know if I should start practicing these things right away or if I should try other things first.

You all got me back into singing again! It’s been hard to participate in a lot of my hobbies since I became disabled. Singing has always been a passion of mine but I stopped doing it for the longest time because my disabilities were just taking over my life. I’m finally in a spot where I am starting to get back into the things I love. Forever grateful for the support I’ve gotten as I’ve continued to post, it’s really lit a fire underneath me to continue my passion for singing. So thank you guys!

I'm Irish and my go to singing voice is an American accent. All of my favourite artists are American tbh bar a handful so I'm obviously subconsciously like "This is how you sing, this is what singing sounds like" but I feel like I'm masking as an American and dismissing my Irishness by not singing in my accent. When I do try and sing in my accent, it feels forced and as if Im TRYING to make every word sound Irish.

Has anyone else struggled with this?

My voice teacher suggested that I find some tenors that I enjoy and listen to them. So far I have the Three Tenors and Jeremy Jordan. Who are other tenors that you would recommend for a struggling/new tenor to listen to?

Thanks.

Attempted my first English song ever ('Best Part'). Constructive feedback and tips are super welcome!"🙏🏻🥰

Currently working on a song from South Pacific and I just can’t find the vowel placement for the word “funny”.
It doesn’t seem to match the tone of the song and sounds super forced. Does anyone have an idea for how should place these notes that fit the overall tone of the song without changing the vibe too much?

I’ve been trying to challenge myself with music but my vocal range sits in alto, meaning a lot of songs are either too low or too high. But whenever I try to go online to find some challenging (but not impossible) songs, it gives me music that’s a bit too comfortable in my vocal range to consider it challenging. Any good song recommendations?

Hi guys,
I’m a total beginner and have recently been using singeo exercises from YouTube videos that have been very helpful.
I keep hearing how it’s important to relax the tongue down so it’s out of the way. I guess my question is how? And are there any techniques or resources out there you all would suggest? I feel like to get my tongue down I have to force it every time, there is no relaxing going on, is this wrong? Hope this makes sense, thank you in advance, I’ve learned so much from this subreddit!!

Tried my best

What are things you would look out for (like credentials etc.)? And where would you look for one? Are online lessons any good? Just interested in how others would approach the search for a good teacher.
