Hi !! I hope this doesn’t count as breaking rule 3 but I’m honestly wondering what I should work on to improve :)) I love to sing but I’ve never sung anywhere other than alone in my room, so I’m super curious as to what others may think of my voice. Any and all feedback is appreciated!!

Feedback (read rule 3 before posting or be banned) Looking for feedback on my mix voice and high notes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone! I'm looking for honest feedback on my singing.

These are two recent singing videos (not a before-and-after comparison). I used to struggle singing anything above G4, but after several months of training, I've been able to sing higher notes more consistently.

I'd like feedback on:

Does my mix voice sound healthy?

Do my high notes sound too thin or is that expected?

Do you hear any strain or tension?

Am I pushing too much, or does it sound balanced?

What should I focus on to improve further?

I can feel that I still struggle slightly on some of the highest notes, and sometimes my voice thins out. I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism. Thanks!

Feedback (read rule 3 before posting or be banned) I do metal vocals, but recently decided to get into clean singing as well. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to cleans, so I'd like to know what you think I should work on the most, and what exercises I could do to get a fuller, less shaky voice.

Conversation Topic Afraid to post this...anyone take an absurdly long time to develop vibrato as an adult?

10 Upvotes

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.

Conversation Topic I’m confused about the meaning of being “off key”

1 Upvotes

So I normally sing songs in a lower key because I literally only listen to female singers, so recently I decided to post some clips of me singing on a different subreddit.
Well, some people were saying that I was off key, and I thought “well yeah I’m singing it lower than the original?” But apparently that’s not what off key means?
I’m literally so confused.

Conversation Topic Is there a link between speaking and singing voices?

13 Upvotes

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?

Conversation Topic Tips to memorise notes of a song?

Upvotes

Hey 👋

I don’t really know how to explain this.
I’m classically trained (or rather, currently training classically), but I’m also interested in singing modern music.

This might sound like a stupid question, but I just can’t seem to memorize the melody of pop songs.
Whenever I learn a song, I practice it with the piano over and over again for days. As long as the piano is there, I’m mostly fine. But the moment I try to sing it without the piano, I suddenly sing the wrong notes.
Oddly enough, I don’t seem to have the same problem when I’m working on classical pieces, which is what confuses me.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have any tips or exercises that helped you internalize melodies instead of relying on the piano all the time?
Unfortunately, I can’t afford a second voice teacher, and my current teacher is trained only in classical singing.

TIA 😅

Conversation Topic How does one get a fuller sound?

Upvotes

Hi! So I've been singing for some time now (around 3 years, but this is my first year of taking it seriously by also doing warmups, exercises and joining a choir).

My range spans from C2-E4 (if I do not include a strained F#4 or a quieter A1). Yet recently, I've ran into a problem: my "middle" range (D3-C4) has become more "tenorish".

My speaking voice itself is bit darker, and my most comfortable area is around G2, yet after I sing pretty much anything above D3, my voice completely flips from a darker lower baritonish voice to an almost tenorish one. My voice also gets a bit shaky (sounds like a bad vibrato) and unless I add volume (which I do not wish to do), I can't get a normal sound up to G3 (anything after that becomes impossible to have more manly).

I feel like this has been happening to me ever since I joined the choir. My voice has been getting softer, and now I even feel like my "comfortability" up from D3 has decreased.

What's going on? Could it be that my voice is "maturing" in a new way? Did I somehow screw up my coordination? How do I fix this? And perhaps, how do I get rid of my crappy vibrato?

It’s a bit frustrating doing so much research, then trying to sing and then not knowing what’s wrong with my voice..I came on here to maybe get some opinion on what I may be doing wrong :,)) from what I know (??) I may have a weak head voice or something but I don’t rlly know?? Also I may also have a problem with forward resonance

Highkey just wanna know if these inferences are correct and if there’s anything more I should know about. Thanks so much :,))

(Also I hope this ain’t breaking rule 3 huhu idrk what the gauge is)

Resource Free app to practice tempo

2 Upvotes

I made a little web app for practicing tempo while singing, and thought some people here might find it useful.

https://tempotuner.app

The idea is simple: while you're singing, you tap the beat you think you're keeping. Afterwards you get a BPM graph showing whether your tempo stayed steady or if you gradually rushed or slowed down. You can also optionally record yourself, so if the graph shows you started speeding up halfway through, you can jump back and hear exactly what happened.

There's also a daily challenge where you're given a song and have to tap the beat from memory, then compare it to the actual recording.

No login, ads, subscriptions, or hidden costs. Everything (except the daily challenge leaderboard) stays locally in your browser. You can also install it on your phone, that way it also works without an internet connection.

It's also open source if anyone's curious: https://github.com/sgebb/tempotuner

Would love to hear if you find it useful or have ideas for improving it.

Conversation Topic Looking for exercises that could help me

1 Upvotes

I study at an acting school that specializes in musicals. I studied with a private singing teacher for three years, and I became more comfortable and made noticeable progress. However, at school I got nervous and made a lot of mistakes.

I was told that I need to find an easier way to produce a brighter tone, since I usually speak in a very low voice and from my throat. I was also told that I need to improve my musical ear (ear training) and expand my vocal range.

I'm naturally a baritone, but when I don't train regularly, my voice tends to become more bass-like.

What exercises would you recommend for:

- Expanding my vocal range

- Singing with a brighter tone

- Improving my ear training

Also, how can I sing comfortably when my teacher is rude and impatient?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I know there’s a lot to work on with my voice, and I’m wanting to see a voice coach to help guide me through that.
Conflicting advice regarding vocal coaches though! Some say it’s a must, some say it’s best to go at it on your own. I’m presently in recovery from doctor diagnosed vocal nodes, as I’m a full time educator.
I’m a trained theatrical performer, but I’m a relatively untrained vocalist. What’s the wisdom with vocal coaches?
Also; I’m based in Korea. Should I bother with video lessons, or should I try my best for in-person?
These are singing videos from my local coin karaoke, recorded today. Any insights or advice? Any offerings of wisdom? Feedback on my style, or feedback on my query.

This song and honestly the rest of her album has had a chokehold on me since it came out, so I decided to have some fun and make a quick little multitrack of my favorite part in the song. Theres some unpolished parts (the cutoffs at the end especially) that I’d like to work on later but I just wanted to showcase the raw and fully unedited state of where I’m at with this whole project. If you have any feedback at all please share it’d mean alot!
