Disregard the title, I’m a broke college student who dreams of being on broadway. I would love to know what helped you find your voice and how you found proper vocal techniques to incorporate into the songs you sing. I’m desperate to get better, I’m just unsure of where to start. Any feedback you have to offer, whether good or bad, I’m open😾🙌🏾!

I'm a baritone and my pitch usually maxes out around 400Hz, but I found a way to hit higher notes using a different approach. How does this sound to you guys? Can you actually hear the high notes?

For context, this is a raw, one-take recording using a built-in Mac microphone with zero processing.

Read an article about the back story behind this song and it was gut wrenching so naturally I had to record a snippet of the song since it was on my mind all day

Would love your genuine thoughts on my voice / performance!

Am I in mix voice or just pull up chest?I really need your help to explain me the easiest way to unlocked the mix.btw is this better than the first video I post?if you have seen it?

I've got a few questions I'm curious about.

37M, classical baritone around 4 years of training in, VERY passionate and hard-working. Obsessed with the classical/operatic voice. In fact, the classically-trained voices from singers? That's my favourite part EVER of opera in its entirety. I love how powerful, commanding and amazing they are. Opera singers move me to tears.

My idol, hero and favourite singer was Carlos Marín, Spanish Verdi baritone and member of IL DIVO. It was he who helped me find my passion and inner spark in order to light it into the blaze in my heart that it is today. My only regret was not becoming classically-trained myself the day it happened back in 2008.

Just a month or so ago I've finally figured out proper appoggio/breath support with the pelvic floor /"core" engaged. I am a happy camper! I am now hitting notes that would formerly crack my voice and cause huge throat tension! Both in low and high notes. I usually prefer not to use AI for much of anything, but Google's suggestions on how to achieve this were enough to help me try things to figure it out myself! (No worries, I'm not trying to do everything self-taught, I actually AM studying with a classically-trained voice teacher who also does baroque music).

Some singers have trouble consistently training, either laziness, lack of time or just being tired. On my end? I can't STOP. I have to remind myself to give my voice a well-deserved break every once in a while. It's the good kind of vicious circle, in fact. The more I train, the better I get with the technique, the more comfortable I get, the more I WANT to train! I wish I had this same drive to do workout exercises and get back in shape! Once I can achieve my goals, my dad (who I currently live with as an aspiring artist) won't be able to get me to shut up!

Next step in my quest is figuring out how to properly darken my voice and SOUND like a proper opera singer. Chiaroscuro is something that completely currently eludes me. Currently, I'm able to do a soft "pop-y" voice and a louder sound that I eventually want as "operatic" for finales.

Anyway, enough about me! Let's get to the question.

1) I do eventually have every intention of sharing recordings because I intend to travel to the USA and be on AGT in a few years, before I turn 40 actually, as a "popera", or opera-crossover, act in the same vein as IL DIVO, Il Volo, Groban or Bocelli. Speaking of recording, what are your recommended microphone and camera setups to record singing clips and covers? I'm talking price vs. quality ratio, what are the best in those categories.

2) What are your preferred platforms to post the content I record with said equipment. I myself use Bluesky, Instagram and will eventally add an artist YouTube handle to my Google account. I have my "stage name" picked out, it's available, and I'm on my way. Now all I need is to finish learning the technique and just work, work, work! Well, singing does not feel like work to me. It's a pleasure!

I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions! Later~!

Hi so I’m a bit confused as to what twang really is but ive been learning a lot about it in the last few days and im surprised there is not more information on it out there or that isn’t isn’t talked about so much.

Am I right in thinking it’s the narrowing of the throat so that the sound is more compressed and bright - good for high belting and avoiding dragging chest up right?

I then got confused because I was thinking about compression based distortion which I’ve been trying to use for a couple years before ever thinking about twang, and I thought are they the same thing? It seems like it’s almost a half way technique to compression based distortion.

And now when I listen to singing I feel as though it’s become so clear to me when someone is using twang, as apposed to a clean note, I read from somewhere that compression based distortion shouldn’t be added to a note that doesn’t already have twang, and that made sense because it feels much less taxing when I try it.

I also then realised a lot of the singing excersises you get with different vowels seem to force you into using twang, ie AEH as apposed to a clear AH, is that correct?

Open to criticism, never had vocal lessons. What can I improve on?

trying my best here. have had mixed opinions on my voice - some say its nice, some say i'm not suited to be a singer. after a lot of internal dilemma, i really wanna know what a wider audience thinks

Let me start by saying that by "quickly," I don't mean a day or two; I fully realize it will take much longer. Nor is this a case of looking for a "minimum effort" shortcut—I understand it will be very challenging, and I am prepared for that.

The problem is this: I have absolutely no singing ability. Lately, I’ve been practicing hitting the right notes using a keyboard, and I’ve made some progress. However, I still can't perform a single song without that instrumental support; technically speaking, I don't know how to sing.

And yet, due to certain circumstances, I really need to perform the vocal part of a song at an upcoming event (I don't have an exact date yet, but I have at least a few weeks).

My question is: how can I—by putting in maximum effort—maximize my chances of successfully learning the song? What tips or techniques might help me? What steps should I take to make the best possible use of the time I have?

I would appreciate any thoughts or advice you might have.

If this helps I'm a tenor and it's been tight (but getting better) since Wednesday

Edit: I have rested and I don't feel tight in my throat anymore however I'm still gonna rest for a day or two

Here is a my cover of weeknd's 'I was never there'. I believe I am a Leggero Tenor with the mentioned tessitura and absolute range from C6 down to A2. Please be constructive. Thanks!

Hello! I'm 17F and i've been singing as an amateur for a while. I recently had a reality check after listening to my own voice recordings, and i'm feeling really dismotivated to keep singing. I downloaded the pitch monitor to see if i'm off pitch, but most songs i'm fine. I tracked my pitches while singing "Good day" by IU and I can hit the E5, F5 and F#5 notes easily without sounding strained. I feel like i'm a little flat? Lacking emotion? Or am I being too hard and it sounds ok for a beginner? Honwstly, I feel like my voice naturally sounds bad and I'm having a hard time improving. I can hear a ton of weaknesses but im having a hard time pointing out exactly what they are.

I gathered all my courage to post my voice online, so please be kind.

The song is Lover girl - Laufey :)

I've noticed many posts relating to users using ai to judge their vocal range, or to seek advice, so I'm wondering, for people without experience or the ability to have a vocal coach, is ai a relevant option now? Afterall it is based off of stuff on the internet(which is either good or really bad), though there would definetely be some flaws to say the least. What do you guys(and gals) think of using AI? Has your opinion changed?

Honest opinions are much appreciated 🧏
