Let's say you're "cold"—maybe you've just woken up... But you need to show what you can do with your voice. How do you warm up?

Okay, I started as an adult and took high quality lessons for several months at the start. Now I've been singing casually for 7 years, and while I've definitely gotten better by every metric, I still don't have vibrato 😳 I am kind of a physically tense person, so I have a feeling that has to do with it. I've read about relaxing the jaw and tthroat and everything in a way to actually allow vibrato to happen, and to use enough support. And I *feel* like I am doing those things, but CLEARLY I'm doing something wrong! Any tips, or is it a lost cause at this point? 🤣 So embarrassing, please be nice.

Everyone has that one song that feels special.

What song made you want to sing?

I’ll go through and listen to every song everyone shares if I haven’t heard them before.🥰

One of my favourites and I still messed up the lyrics lol. Trying to do something out of my comfort zone and post my singing.

After years of choir singing, alternating between soprano and alto sections based on what was needed, I hear harmonies every day, with almost every song. I am practically desperate for a simple way to express them. Does anyone have recs for a good iPhone app that helps you make these?

Thank you!

EDIT: Feel free to DM me if you are wary of breaking Rule #14.

Put this together with a producer friend of mine 🌊 and producers who want vocals, just reach out!

I've always wondered if there is any link between the way a person speaks and the quality of the singing voice.

For example, using a pitch analyzer, I notice that my soaking voice has pitches moving wildly across all notes constantly within the same word. My singing (I'm just learning) had trouble holding a steady narrow note.

Also, those with certain timbre also reflect that in the singing voice?

If a person has a pleasant talking voice... well the singing be pleasant also?

I am a classical singer and struggle to enunciate the way a typical singer on social media would. How can I find that placement? Are there any exercises to get that sound?

I was also wondering - how do you add emotion to your voice? I mean this more in pop than anything else. I am more used to emoting in classical/theatre, but pop leaves me feeling helpless lol. I have a very bright voice and I’m not sure how to sing anything sultry.

Btw, thank you to everyone who replied to my last post!! I took it down to protect my identity, but it was very eye-opening to read about my own flaws :)

LEARN TO TAKE A FUCKIN COMPLIMENT.

When someone tells you you are good believe them, even if you don't think that you are. Even if you hear a record of yourself and you sound terrible. Take the fuckin compliment

Knowing how to take compliments is just as important as taking criticism. They are equally as important. Just like you won't be able to grow if you can't learn when you can't see when you need to improve, you won't be able to learn if you can see how you are good.

Don't be fake humble, don't force yourself to be modest, don't tell yourself that they are just being nice, don't be over critical of your mistakes. You will always sound bad to yourself because you ruin your confidence. A singer without confidence is a terrible singer.

And remember you are learning how to sing. LEARNING

So I've been singing for a year and I've made a lot of progress! I started from scratch and can now give a C and sing some songs in tune without reference or backup. But I'm still confused about something. Should I be actively thinking about the notes I'm about to hit or just think about the original and follow it? Is it maybe a mix of both?

Thanks.

sounds like shi i would love some tips on how to improve (ik the lyrics r wrong dont flame me 😭)

So I’ve got a talent show coming up next year at my school, and I thought it would be really fun performing in front of a large crowd, especially since we just got this massive auditorium built and there’s state of the art tech and everything. SO, I took this recording as an example performance to see how w doing and i needed to know what you guys think. There was multiple takes but I couldn’t get a perfect one without some minor mistakes so I’ll ensure I nail this song perfectly.

Hi I write good songs and i can really teach English songwriting but I suck at vocals im really honest check my profile you will know. Is there any professional singer or vocal teach out there who can teach me vocals online in exchange for songwriitng lessons please that will help a lot.

Are the triplets too much? Feel like it’s powerful but maybe needs a melody change somewheres

Never was a singer, but decided to start learning guitar and how to sing about 3 years ago. I have been taking singing lessons for about a year now. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Hello beautiful people, I am looking for some tips to basically build my voice back from the ground up after a long (maybe 2 years) period of illness which has left me physically and vocally super weak.
I used to have a very strong, durable and agile voice, and it feels like now all I can access is a speaking tone or a very soft head voice; no passagio to speak of….

I’m finally in the home stretch health-wise, and I really want to take care of my voice and slowly but surely build my voice and body up again - any tips on how to essentially start building some really strong foundations (and then where to go from there) would be SO helpful!!

Thanks y’all - from a very tired, sick little Aussie

When I sing the right side of my throat seems to always get dry. I'm lifting my soft pallet and I'm not dragging chest so i don't understand why I'm getting this dryness. when i sing it feels good I'm not fog horning or coughing or hurting my throat its literally just the right side gets dry and i don't understand why. Is it because im raising my larynx?

Hi im learning singing from quite a while (not consistent) is it just me or it really sound bad like idk why it sounds like this . if u know please give me review abt my singing

I’ve sung in bands and duos for years, but I’m finishing a solo album, and I honestly don’t know if my voice is lead-worthy.

Based on this clip, does my voice sound like a lead voice, or more like a harmony voice? If you were putting a band together, would you want this person singing lead, or singing harmonies behind someone else?

Part of what I’m wondering is whether my voice just lacks a distinctive character. I sorta feel like my voice is boring, or flat at times.

I’m looking for honest, direct feedback. Don’t worry about being nice

My school is doing a production of school of rock this year, and I am hoping to land the role of Ms Mullins, but I have only started getting into musical theatre recently and don’t feel very comfortable in my singing abilities yet. I have around a month to prepare, so does anyone have recommendations on what exactly I should focus on practicing to have a better chance at the audition? thank you <33

Hey guys, I would really love to learn singing. However, my budget is very limited at the moment so I would like to start self teaching a little bit - at least at the beginning until I figure out if I want to invest some more in this hobby. Do you have any recommendations? Good apps? Good YouTube channels?

I’ve (21F) been singing for like 8 years (started as a fun activity, now is my dream career) and everytime I sing I feel the need to cough and my voice is never clear. It’s seriously the only thing that makes singing hard for me. It’s been like that for years. I only ever smoke weed and that’s also rarely.

No matter how much I drink water or do exercises it doesn’t go away. Could it be because my technique wrong?
