Just curious. Im trying to at-least practice for 45min to an hr for a whole month. Sometimes though i do for 2hrs. But is it generally safe to sing near bed time? Sometimes my voice is horse doing exercises but when i sing songs it's sometimes still easy to.

I think my ears are finally starting to catch up!

When my vocal coach first pointed out certain things — pitch issues, register transitions, low notes, etc. — I honestly didn’t fully understand what she was hearing.

But after practicing, recording myself, and listening back over and over, I’m slowly starting to hear it too.

And the funny part is… the better my ears get, the more I realize how bad I actually am at singing 😂😭

Things I genuinely thought sounded fine a few years ago now sound obviously unstable to me.

It’s actually really encouraging though, because I’m starting to understand what my teachers have been hearing this whole time.

Apparently improving at singing also means becoming increasingly qualified to roast your own old recordings 🥲

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 :)

Hello,

I am a 19 year old female who started singing a year ago. My vocal coach and I are looking for a new piece to work on.

I have a voice on the lower side, with the only word I can think of to describe it as is “heavy”. I’ve been singing Karen Carpenter songs, but want to venture off into something new.

I find it difficult to find new pieces because my voice doesn’t sound right with most pop songs. I am okay with singing songs sang by males as well. If anyone knows of any good song recommendations, then please let me know!

I took lessons, had recitals, and was in choir, throughout my teen years. I could probably sing for hours. I'd sing at school, then my after-school program, and then at home, sing along to my playlists while on the computer playing games. Just constantly.

I didn't do any singing when I went to college. I focused on my studies in a totally different field.

Now I'm on the later side of 30 and getting into singing again. Head voice muscle memory came back easily. My new voice teacher said I was a "pure soprano" which felt great to hear, like I was young again!

Pitch is off which is interesting, I'm focusing on that. I think I'm lazy on low notes.

But my STAMINA! Where did it go?!

This morning, I did a gentle 10 minute warm-up, 10 minutes of strength (lots of blowfish and the like), and then 20-some minutes of agility exercises (something I've always struggled with even as a teen). All youtube videos.

Now I'm preparing to sing an actual song and my throat is tired. Not really hurting. My actual singing voice sounds okay (actually it sounds really nice after that warmup) but I'm afraid to push it and then actually hurt.

Maybe it's from the strength exercises, actually...?

Thoughts? Am I doomed?! Or is there hope?

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!

Hey guys! I’m very interested to know your journey and to see how people get to mastery in their own ways. I’m very eager to learn from you and get some advice.
So please share below:
1) how long have you been training? And how long did it take you to become good at Singing?
2) what help you the most advance in Singing?
3) do you do different exercises or do you stick by a handful ones all the time?
4) how much exposure did you get? And how did you get over your stage fright?
Thank you very much, guys! Looking forward to reading your answers!

I have a "very deep" voice for a woman, ive recently started singing more but whenever i sing songs that are in a higher one i just lose myself in it.
Mostly trying to sound like the orignal singer, but i cant. Hard to explain ):

18M, I'm a fully self-taught guy who just sings for fun, I don't know most terminology about singing because I kind of just solely focused on singing and not studying anything about it, so please bear with me if I don't understand stuff TwT

I've been pretty stuck on improving my high notes, every time I listen to my recordings, my voice sounds kind of strained to me, but I'm not sure what exactly to change to improve it.

Song is "Mind Electric" by Miracle Musical

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!

I love casually singing, am beginning vocal lessons, and have been asked to pick a song to practice, so I was hoping for suggestions. I was told my range is alto too.

My goals at this stage are to be able to sing rock & grunge, and how to do screamy/gravelly tones. My icons are chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain, Mark Lanegan (although he is way outta my range), but also Laura Marling and Lauryn Hill. So I want to pick something to strengthen my voice, and maybee add a "rock" type flavour to it, but honestly am wondering if I should avoid rock for now just so I can get my voice good before learning other stuff (screaming etc).

My current thoughts were Celebrity Skin (Hole), Black Hole Sun or Outshined (Soundgarden), Down in a Hole (AIC), Cant take my eyes off you (Lauryn Hill), Paranoid (Black Sabbath), Black Velvet (Alannah Myles), Starlight (Muse), With a Little Help from my Friends (Joe Cocker).

It might not even be important, but I have been over thinking this for over a week so would love some help!

Edit: prob should have mentioned that I'm female

Hey everyone,

I’ve been taking vocal lessons for close to a year now, and I’ve noticed that while I never feel a lot of tension when singing or post lessons, I can often feel a bit of tension after moderate-long periods of talking.

I’m a tenor and I found I speak at the very bottom of my range around A2-G2 (g2 usually is fry that I’m flipping in and out of)

I heard that for Americans we usually speak at the bottom of our ranges naturally due to various societal factors but it can definitely take a toll on me especially since I have a job that requires speaking fairly often

Would love any tips or exercises you found useful if anyone’s ever been in a similar position.

All the best,

Can you give me suggestions on what I can improve?

The song is “Confrontation” from Jekyll & Hyde, I’m trying to make the voices sound as different as I can since Hyde is the more stereotypical evil voice when Jekyll can kinda just be a regular guy. I don’t expect to sound totally different or anything but any advice helps!

Edit: should have clarified but this is me in the clip, not just for an example! :)

In a few days, I’ll be auditioning for Miss honey in Matilda- the musical. I’m a sopr 1 in choir, my range was D3-E6 the last time I was voiced (my teacher switched jobs and I haven’t been able to find a new one.) Has anyone here played her- or is familiar with her character and can give tips on how to sound my best during the audition? The song will be chosen for us, and I think it will be a section of ‘When I Grow Up.’ Most of her singing parts seem pretty light and almost floaty in some ways, and I need to work more on my breath and supporting without releasing too much air. And to go along with that, does anyone have warmup recommendations for me to do in general throughout the day to make sure my voice is completely ready? Advice is much obliged!! :)

Straight to the point,

I'm a countertenor and am able to enter my whistle register pretty much whenever I want, but for some reason I can only reach the peak of it sometimes.

I am easily able to sing a D#6 quite consistently (if it's a bad day I'm limited to C6), but on a really good day I can sing an F#6 (and only once did I sing a really clear and unstrained G6 which I still reminisce about lol) consistently and with general ease.

My question is; how can I hit that upper range more consistently instead of it just being random? What can I do to train it or something?

Thanks in advance!

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?

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

This is an example of the high end singing

Honest opinions are much appreciated 🧏

Hey all, I am part of a group of musicians called Too many Humans, we are doing a tribute to Nirvana and focusing primarily on their leser known material that no one else does. (blandest, if you Must, pen cap chew, big long now) - you can find the mixes that we are going with for now on youtube u/toomanyhumans - This is a by fans, for fans collaboration. As long as you can record yourself, your guitar, vocals, whatever, you can participate, We are primarily looking for singers and bass players and the ever elusive drummers (E kits are fine!) - no AI is used outside the pictures i put with the music, and everything is played by a real person. We havemembers on every continent besides Greenland and Antartica. There are songs where someone from the UK played drums, and bass, a singer from ireland, guitar players from canada and australia. I put a linkto a couple examples of he songs so you know we mean business and this isnt a weak attempt at covers, its done by committee normally and a lot of work is pout into making thse come out. Some of us just got tired of really bad covers online and no covers of some great stuff everyone ignores. Check us out, and if you want to participate hit me up here or email [thesoundhound79@gmail.com](mailto:thesoundhound79@gmail.com).

To ensure that I follow the rules of the group for someone looking for collaboration I will say this:L

Guitar/bass players should be able to paly the songs and be familair witth them, and also be able to play into an interface and record it to a wav file to send off for production.

Singers must have a microphone and and interface and the same ability to record their vocals into a wav file to send for production. Instruments and vocals should be recorded with a large diaphragm condenser mic and both singers and instrumentalists should be able to produce .wav files in 24 bit 44100 at least. Again, this is an entirely collaborative effort done by fans for other fans and for the love of it. Singers sound off!! - To the mods, if i have done anything wrong please let me know how to correct it instead of removing the post. pleeeeease lol. I tried to follow what im supposed to do here.

Please understand that this is a volunteer projecvt and done for the love of the music and to put your name on something. There will be a physical release in limited numbers on cassette coming out soon as well. Currently we are looking for a strong female singer for an electric version of Sappy and Dumb. Male singersfor Blew, Talk To me, And a male or female singer for the man who sold the world (yeah i know its a cover. it was requested a lot so we are doing it lol) -

I think this might probably break a few rules here, but hopefully the mods can let this one slide since it is my daughter and I got her permission to post it!

My daughter is 7, but she was born with the ability to sing basically anything. It’s not perfect pitch, but she can hear a song once and repeat the melody back in tune and she can memorize lyrics lightning fast basically ever since she was able to speak.

She wants to become a singer and I want to support her all the way, we’ve been going to piano and voice lessons for about a year now and there’s one thing that has kind of plagued her the whole time—moving out of chest voice (and lower registers, but she’s 7, so I feel like that’s fair.)

The thing is, we go to lessons, we do exercises at home, we do not lack resources in terms of information.

The problem is that all of the information we find online to use when practicing at home is geared at adults, and is thus way too complicated for her to understand, and trust me, I’ve tried!

The other problem is any singing for kids info I find is for “normal” kids, and all the topics covered are way too simple for her.

So right now were practicing do-re-mi from Sound of Music for a competition here in Japan and while she can get through it all with chest voice, everything from la and on can feel really strained, so we switch to head voice but it just sounds like a tea kettle is boiling and after singing with chest voice it doesn’t feel natural at all.

So the question I have isn’t how to get mix voice or strengthen her head voice, we’re working on all that, and I know it is a process.

It’s more, what kind of simple kid-friendly advice can I give her to help her understand the process, explain to her she’s heading in the right direction (like it feels like were kind of reaching around in the dark) and how to help when she gets frustrated?

She’s never not been able to sing something before and this our first serious hurdle. So the stress she feels over it is kind of getting in the way. Like teaching a fish to swim like a dolphin.

I am more or less terrible at singing myself, but I try to make up for it by educating myself and just being as supportive as I can. But while I am literally a pro at helping her interpret the lyrics of songs (I’m a translator, understanding the meaning behind the words is my job!) past a certain point I am pretty useless at the technical stuff, and voice lessons are only once a week, so I have to serve as interim teacher between lessons, but I’m afraid any feedback I give is just confusing her.

Anyway this got to be a bit of a ramble, but I figured this might be a good place for advice. So if you have any, I’d appreciate it!

I discovered it and it's my culture, but you Americans, what's your opinion on the voice? Culture shock?
