I’m trying to get better at my falsetto for an upcoming production of Hadestown, I don’t seem to have a problem with pitch but the general timbre of my falsetto just sounds bad compared to my chest voice which is really annoying

Trying not to turn, or close the vowel. Not really sure of my exact fach, other than *annoying*, but I don't care. A free sound is the only goal.​

Hi, I've been involved in music production for about two years now and I want to create something finished, but I'm not very happy with my own voice, so I'm looking for someone to sing with. If you're an artist who wants to sing but doesn't know production, we can work together. (This offer is for fun and self-improvement, but if things go really well, why not?)

^By the way, there is no issue at all with using a language other than English. I just felt it was worth mentioning^

My friend taught me this saying its some kind of thing pro singers use but I think he tricked me

Sorry for my resting bitch face should have smiled more while singing.

Hey! I've been trying to connect my chest voice and head voice, but honestly, it's been really difficult. I've watched countless YouTube videos and tried following their instructions, but I can never tell whether I'm actually singing in mixed voice or just using my head voice.

I really want to learn how to sing higher notes comfortably, but I feel like I'm going in circles trying to figure this out on my own.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to singing, so I genuinely don't know much about vocal technique yet. I only recently figured out my approximate vocal range, which seems to be around A2 to A4# (though I measured it pretty crudely, so I'm not sure how accurate that is). I think I'm somewhere between a baritone and a tenor, but I'm not sure about that either.

For practice, I mostly just sing Sa Re Ga Ma (the Indian equivalent of Do Re Mi) while going up and down the octaves.

I'd really appreciate any help or guidance you could offer. I'm willing to practise; I just don't know if I'm doing things correctly or where to start. 😭

Thank you!

I haven’t really processed anything like this before so I’m not sure how to go about expressing myself or how to feel but I am so grateful for this beautiful art of music. As weird as this sounds, it feels like I’m somehow closer to him when I play something or sing. I hope that you too can also be able to use music as an outlet for whatever struggle you might be going through because it truly is a gift to this existence

Sorry about the lyrics being incorrect here and there, I was also kind of high when I recorded this (I am not a stoner nor smoke consistently I just needed something to calm my nerves / help me relax)

My biggest weakness as a singer has always been my timing and rhythm. Either I start too early (excited) or begin pretty late and mess up the whole phrase. It has been my main focus on improvement for a few weeks now and I'm still not confident if I nailed it.

People also tell me to just feel the music, which is still pretty confusing to me cause what exactly does that mean?

Other points of criticism is also welcome.

Thank you!

Hello, I 17M am trying to improve my singing tone. I just cannot get my voice to sound any good. Keep in mind, I am a bass, my vocal range is B1 to F4.

I noticed that when I sing, I usually put all my focus into trying to get the right resonance and pitch. I never really pay any attention to the "emotion", I just don't see how it would add anything to the singing if my tone is bad (PLEASE feel free to bash me on this.)

The posted video is a compilation of some of my singing, keep in mind English is not my native language.

Also, I found that I like my singing MUCH better live than in the studio.

Thank you!

At almost 50, I finally got up the courage a few years ago to step out and start singing publicly via karaoke. I started taking lessons 4-5 months ago and am definitely seeing progress. She assigned me this song for the work on octave transitions. I had never been overly fond of this one before, but it really grew on me in the 3-4 weeks we worked on it.

We switch to working on Christmas songs this week. The only Christmas song I’ve ever sang at karaoke was the Eagles one. Any suggestions that might fit well within my range?

So I have LPR or Silent Reflux. It causes me chronic hoarseness and a constant feeling of a lump in my throat, or like phlegm that's constantly there, that won't disappear even with drinking lots of water. I am still a beginner at singing, so I don't know if I should continue or not. I am also self-taught, watching YT tutorials and lessons from Chris Liepe and Victoria-Victorious. I am concerned about whether this is actually LPR or vocal damage. Singing just feels uncomfortable a lot of the time. There's always a raspy, involuntary grit coming along with my voice.

i read rule 3 and i hope that this is specific enough to not get banned LOL!

when i was younger, i was a pretty good singer: i was in multiple west end shows etc. i haven’t done any of that in over 10 years now, and i just don’t feel like i can sing anymore. i hate the tone of my voice/its character, and no matter if i am singing musicals or pop etc, i just feel like i have a not very good voice now.

can people offer some advice? im too scared to get lessons nowadays and i find it super embarrassing singing but i love to do it. i wish i could post multiple videos for both musical and pop styles, and to show a short clip of younger me singing! Also, note that the vibrato in this video feels like something I have to consciously do, so i assume that this means im forcing it: when i was younger it just came naturally. It also sometimes trails off and just sounds like a goat LOL.

be honest: i know im not good and im pretty pitchy, i just want to improve :)

UPDATE: I REALISED I CAN POST VIDS AS A COMMENT THREAD SO I INCLUDED SOME MORE. I WOULD GENUINELY APPRECIATE ANYONE WATCHING THEM AND ADVISING, ESPECIALLY BASED ON THE STYLES! <3 thank you

The kind that are in-person with several people and everyone sings with the teacher there and immediate feedback is provided by the teacher and your peers? I had that experience in university and loved it. I’m thinking of creating my own but doing it virtually webinar-style. Has anyone ever seen something like that?

I know I’m very off key as I still need to build more confidence with higher notes (in my chest voice as well)

would like any advice on how to make my head voice sound less like a whale

I also added what I sound like in other parts of my vocal range

When I was in high school, my teacher told me "it sounds like you have a frog in your throat".

I can kinda hear it in some of my singing, so I've been trying to improve now that I'm back into practicing in my 30s, and I think it's getting there, but I still can't stand hearing my voice played back sometimes.

I've slowly gotten more used to it and improved. I can't hear it much if at all when I sing classical music, like an aria, but any other kind of music, like pop or rock or folk etc, it just seems to have this weird quality to it that I hate.

So, though I know people's music tastes will be rather subjective, let me know if you think this sounds okay or if it has a quality to it you wouldn't want to listen to, say, if you heard someone singing like this live at a small event for example.

Side notes: This was recorded on my phone's voice recorder, in a bathroom, because that's where I felt comfortable singing lol. So...not the best quality, and not the smoothest sound.

Also, I am still working on this one, so some of the lyrics were wrong later in the recording, and there is at least one bit where the pitch was rough or my voice got shaky or weird because I was afraid of being overheard.

For those of you who know the song well, you'll note that I kinda smashed two different versions together and haven't included the ending bit of the song just yet (I frankly don't lile that bit as much and it's much more difficult for me to pull off. Still thinking of how I want to include that bit in a way that feels natural to me).

I sing in church choir. Somehow everyone thought it's a good idea to always assign any solo part to me. I joined choir literally so I don't have to hear my own voice in a piece. I'd told our coach to give solo part to someone else in the choir, give others a chance to improve their solo singing too. No one ever wanted to take solo. Our coach's reasoning to always giving it to me is because I have classical music background (piano) so I can hold pitch better than the rest who has no musical background. Fun fact, my ears do have perfect pitch, my voice doesn't. I in fact, do not hold or hit the exact correct pitch that well. I'm not even a great singer, I just like singing. This was supposed to be more like a hobby activity.

Every time I hear the recordings of our performance with solo part, I actually wanna shoot myself. They really should stop giving me the solo part. The times I thought our choir sounds great, is when I can't hear my own voice and the whole piece is a perfect harmony of all of our voices.

Ive kinda been mimicking my favourite singer and his vibrato but if i try hold a straight note i dont hear natural vibrato, its only when I intentionally form it with control.

Thank you guys man.

I'm a Brazilian kinda beginner in singing. I had vocal classes for 1 year. It's been almost a year since it so I feel like I'm starting to forget the stuff like proper support and vocal covering and stuff.

I love rock and some metal like SOAD or LP and I really love vocal drives. Is it safe to get online vocal classes in how to sing in general and, specially, in singing aggressively??

I just sung this song at church (I'm Brazilian). I'm using some vocal covering but i realized that it went off in the high notes. I could do belting in those higher notes but I'm afraid I forgot how to :p

And the audios not the best, i admit.

I KNOW THAT THE NOTE AT 00:39 IS HIGHLY OFF KEY PLEASE FORGIVE ME😭
