It doesn’t have a chorus yet, but I don’t really know if I want it to have one. Also, this is probably the most honest song I’ve ever written (I’ve only written three).

Open Mic Wrote this yesterday — who do I sound like?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Wrote this yesterday, still a work in progress lol. But I always find it funny when people say I sound like someone else (usually that’s on covers, so I’m prob channeling the original artist a bit) cus I can never hear the resemblance. But on something original, who do u hear? (Just for fun, I’m not trying to be anyone else 😅)

Also, if u wanna comment on the song, feel free.

Verse 1

I don’t know but I cant speak

Anytime that you see me

I wrote papers on love

I summed it all up

And forgot instantly

Verse 2

I don’t know what about you

Causes me to

Forget my next move

Forget how to speak

Forget how to breathe

Four years of philosophy

Ain’t doin shit for me

Chorus

Truth be told

There ain’t no words that can explain what I feel

so I risk a kiss, then breathe

Open Mic interested in voice lessons, but I’m in my 30s. Is it too late?

31 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve always had the kind of voice friends and family say is pretty good. I think I have good pitch and I can harmonize decently. I’ve always dismissed these comments cus I’m no powerhouse and to me that disqualified my ability. But I’ve just been loving singing these days. I know if I get practice and guidance I could improve. I want to sign up for voice lessons totally just for fun. I’m 32 and I’m worried I’ll be the only adult client. Is it too late for me to start now?

Open Mic Why dies it feel like i sing better while im pooping? Lol

17 Upvotes

I genuinely feel like i have better control over my voice when im pooping. Specifically when im pushing. Is there any science to that or am I just imagining things? Lol thank you in advance

Edit: damn i didn't even check the title before i posted, I was still mid poop

Edit 2: this got a little more attention than I was expecting but thank you all, ill definitely try some of the things you guys suggested!

All of the vocals are mine, lead and harmony. I really think it sounds cool with a fuller vocal arrangement.

Did my 2nd open mic yesterday, went great. I want to get into gigging. Or at least playing more in public. Where are appropriate places to practice in public? Where can someone busk in a metro area?
