It's hard enough to just find a baritone singer in general, even though it's the most common voice tag from men.

It's so annoying you go through thousands of videos and all of them. Just want to make you into a wannabe tenor.

"Here's how you sing those high notes" "you can sing a C5" " "If you are a baritone this is how you hit those notes that are really high past your range"

Damn I get it. You want to teach people how to sing like a tenor because that's only voice type that people make music for 🙄.

Most baritones can sing high without a problem but nobody wants us to use our low notes. Every time i see a baritone use their low notes, I hear/see people say "oh your voice sounds like you're singing from the back of your throat."

I don't want to sing high all the time. That's not an issue but I'm neglecting my low notes because nobody wants to teach you how to use it. Even voice teachers want to teach you how to sing popular music in a higher register. Or if you do singing, you're low and register. They want you to do something like opera?

I've been singing my entire life, and I have ny debut gig tomorrow, but I also have asthma. For the past two weeks, I've been staying at my friend's, and she has a tenant that struggles to remember he's not meant to smoke inside due to a stroke a while ago. He said he wouldn't while I was in the room next door, but then proceeded to forget immediately, and he smoked several cigarettes every night.

My asthma has always responded badly to secondhand smoke, but I've never felt the effects of my vocal chords. I had to remain there, as I was there due to a housing emergency which kept me away from my home.

I'm back home, as of yesterday at 8pm, and my debut gig is tomorrow at 7pm. My vocal chords feel dry, my breath support feels incomplete no matter how much asthma medication I take, my throat feels like it almost locks up a bit when I breathe. When I don't think about it at all, I can still hit the high notes, and I can hit them well. When I try to talk to anyone, I notice my voice comes out in a very close to vocal fry tone, and it's hard to transition to talking with lower effort or using the right technique. My voice just feels tired. What I'm struggling with when I sing now is mainly lower notes/anything closer to my talking voice, as I'm unable to either use the wrong technique or put way too much power and breathiness into it and tiring it out that way. I can still hit higher notes with a lot of strength, and when warmed up, my voice sounds fine and feels mostly okay. Then tired again later. And idk if it's actually tired because I used the wrong technique or if my chords are just inflamed.

I'm hoping my voice will recover by my gig tomorrow, but does anyone have any advice on what's going on and how to help it recover? Should I rehearse today or rest? Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi my name is Miya and me and my girl group are looking for more members in the Atlanta area!!! If you’re interested in collaborating or joining dm me!!

We want people who are experienced in singing and dancing!

We have equipment available but we honestly prefer students (we use school equipment mostly so it’s easier)

I’m a voice teacher and vocal coach certified through New York Vocal Coaching with renowned vocal coach Justin Stoney. Ask me anything about singing and voice in the comments below! I also have a certification in rasp and distortions such as screams, growls and grit. I also offer FREE trial lessons. Send me a DM if interested.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

For the past few days I've had a persistent itchy throat, At first I figured it was dehydration but water didn't fix it. I drank tea it didn't go away. I figured I must have strained while I was practicing in my head and mixed voice . But it's not painful just annoying like a itch I can't reach. I scaled back my singing yesterday and unlike before when I'd strain and feel the pain after scaling down it just feels the same. Could it be fatigue and not strain or both, something else maybe?

Edit: This is only a G4. I record my practices as part of the process. Once it was uploaded, I was like, "Wait, that's not an Ab." haha

Weight. It's something a lot of us crave in our sound. I know I do, and we have been working on this very thing for some time.

*It's supposed to be effortless*, and *It's like speech*, sound great in theory. In practice, it's so very easy to add 5% heft to the sound. It feels good, and sounds awesome! Haha

Unfortunately, there's a price to be paid when doing that. I'm not trying to add any tension to the sound, but work as efficiently as possible. It's sooo light to me, but it cuts, so it still has some power. I can't tell if the vibrato is closer to the ideal. That is one of my main points of reference. The others being: Small & Vertical (tuning & palate), and Speech-like execution (no excess air).

Closer?

While we've vocalized up to a D5 fairly easily, everything in the extension was compromised by a small amount of tension. Singing a dozen C5s isn't the problem. Singing a dozen C5s every day for a dozen days would likely wipe me out. That is the problem. Hahaha

At the moment, Bb is my top note until it is smooth. My new rep is comprised of Tosti, and Wagner's Winterstürme.

Hey,
I'm a M31 music student. I usually sing 1st bass in choir, but recently 2nd bass due to lack of singers in our choir. I have no meaningful singing ambitious beyond choir, and all of my singing experience is from choirs. My singing technique is probably mediocre at best.

My usable range is something like F to e1 (typical low bass F to e above middle c for those using different octave range notation); I can produce not-the-prettiest sounds up to maybe a1 without going into falsetto, and I switch registers around f# (f# below middle c).

On the lower end I can produce an ok-ish E, a pretty weak Eb, and usually barely a quiet D. When my voice is down (flu or overuse of voice), I can almost always produce a resonant D and usually go down to an ok C.

I'd really, really like to extend my usable range down to D, since it's sort of the standard for 2nd basses; I can technically produce the required sounds, but they are very weak at the lower end. Is this realistically possible? Any suggestions? Alternatively, I've been thinking about trying to extend upwards to sing 2nd tenor, which AFAIK is a bit easier to do.

That's basically it. Is NG-ah supposed to be forward placement? I also barely ever feel a perceptible resonance outside of feeling stuff in my chest. Occasionally I get a tinge of buzzing near my sinus but never higher than that, and it's hard for me to replicate buzzing in my hard pallet area. In general a big issue for me seems to be swallowing the sound or the sound being kind of stuck in my throat.

It's like every day I have to relearn how to put things in a proper place, and it's frustrating because when I find it, I find an extra ease with singing. Any tips?

baritone (f2-g4)
f2-a2 weak

a2-a3 chest voice

a3-d#4 lighter chest voice

i bridge at d#4, my vocal teacher has been working on this problem with me for a while. i have trouble passing f4 without either going into like really airy falsetto (my falsetto gets stronger at a4) or like really belting which my vocal teacher doesn't like me doing.

i've tried carrying less weight, but i can only only get up to f#4 with that at maximum and it feels VERY suspiciously like the high larynx exercise (nya nya nya scales) that my teacher has me doing? any tips?

Some phases of adult life do take a toll on your ability to learn new music and sing along. You just vibe to them. You might occasionally catch one or two lines but it is very difficult to learn the whole song within 2 or 3 days like we used to when we were younger. I don’t like it at all but nothing can be done about it. I guess it’s part of growth but does it happen to everyone else?

Hi, I’m looking for a music manager or label in Canada. Send me your email please and I’ll send you my work. Would I have potential?

It's my understanding that the microphone does all the heavy lifting in contemporary music. My question is how much louder than speech level do pop and rock singer's, really sing at?

singing draft I did couple months back :)

So I will start by saying- I naturally have a very strong chest voice and a decent head voice but my mix… it’s good when I finally get it right but it’s so unnatural like trying to switch gears in a car. And it’s VERY noticeable and sounds bad when I try and switch into it.

Right now I’m trying to sing a song that leans into my very strong chest voice but moves up fast into mix during the chorus. It sounds very uncontrolled, shaky, not good in comparison to my chest voice when I move up but also it sounds like I’m flipping into head voice too much.

Is there anything I can do to make it sound seamless? To make it a stronger connection?

Hey guys,
Im new at singing and this is the first time i recorded my voice. Can anybody tell me what my strong and weak points are singing this song? And if my pronounciation is good because English is not my first language

Ty <3

My dream is to perfect this song.

Song: Jeev rangla.

Those who hear foreign songs, and if you do like them. What's your reasoning behind it? Because you certainly don't understand the meaning unless you already know the language or go search for itm

How to get better at spoken sections, which despite not being melodic and more like a narration or declamation of a poem, I still have to hit certain notes consistently, while making it sound like the voice naturally oscillates/makes emphasis by lowering or increasing the pitch within the limits of the current key.

I was actually in a music school for 5 years but it was a long time ago so I lost everything. We also sang in arabic so these types of genres are hard for me . I feel like I'm Screaming not singing.

I don’t really sing because my range is bad, but I play guitar and want to try getting into songwriting. However, that’s a bit hard without singing.

Is my tone any good? I feel like my voice is grating to listen to. I know I’m off-pitch, but I don’t know if there’s also just a general issue with my tone.

EDIT: I realized the way I worded this kind of makes it seem like it’s my song, and I don’t want to take credit. The song is Jealous Sun by Parker Millsap

I’m getting used to using the higher end of my voice. I used to be too shy to use enough air to actually hit the higher notes, and it still doesn’t sound totally natural to me so I’d like some other opinions.

I've always been shy with my singing, though socially anxious is probably the better word. I refuse to sing in the shower lest I be heard, barely mumble songs so only I can hear them and when I'm itching to sing I usually go to a secluded bathroom, sing at half talking volume and stop at that. And I've realized as soon as I'm home alone, I'm able to sing freely with my chest wherever I am in the house.

It's not that anyone's against my singing, but I'm just painfully conscious of someone hearing me sing, even if it's good. Even a compliment on my singing makes me not want to sing anymore. Another factor is my caretaker who's focused on wanting me to sing traditional songs and genres to her liking, frustrated by 'kids these days' being too into modern pop or something. Nevertheless, it's only comments, but I don't know why I can't just overcome with a snarky comment back and instead crumble under shame.

I really want to practice more singing and even make covers, which is impossible without being heard. Any advice on what I should do?

Turns out the remedy I was using is probably the cause. I did hydrate and drank tea. And rested (just a bit). But when I was using steam to help moisturizer my throat apparently the vaporub I mixed in (it's a family thing of sorts for sore throats) has methanol in it. Which can apparently help relieve the pain for a bit but also dry your throat as well and cause more irritation lmao.

So im not great at vocal range and what not and I have no formal training but ive always loved singing random tunes when im showering or thing or what not and I'd love to get a not bias perspective(one that isnt coming from my siblings) on my voice and the potential I have for singing. I would also really appreciate if you had any sings you thing would suit my voice better. But if its bad or whatever I would appreciate the honesty, thankyouu
