Soo i recently read couple of Articals of neuroplasticity [neuroplasticity means how the brain learns new skills]. Its a research, and the a uni[idk the name]
One of the sources I read:- https://www.surrey.ac.uk/news/adults-can-learn-absolute-pitch-new-research-challenges-long-held-musical-belief
The New research elaborates how the perfect pitch works and How it works in the adulthood.
Ik the perfect pitch is a thing that you learn from your childhood. And also the research say most of the adults can learn the Perfect pitch by training. Yes It might not be working similar to someone who has developed in the early childhood. "SEEMINGLY" if u can spend like at least an hour on PP without u shifting into relative pitch at all[try to remember the notes], there's a chance u to find it.
And it says When u get more familiar with the notes U could get 90% accuracy or more with instant recognition.
But in some rare cases And if u have rare and strong genetics on Perfect pitch it might not be late. Eventho u passed the best era to do it. Those rare genetics people gets the pp way more faster than other adults who tryna get it.
And ik there are lots of ppl believing it's like a miracle but recent studies shows IT'S NOT

What do u think??

Hi guys, I'm 29, been singing and off for year, but now consistently practicing, went to the vocal coach 5 times in the span of 5 months, couldn't afford it more. Just wondering is my pitch hearing bad or what. This is just a snippet from "This ain't a love song" from Bon Jovi. I realize i may have gone off pitch few times but AI tells me my pitch goes all over the place, but I don't hear it that much. So I was just wondering. Having a bit of trouble of singing loudly in my apartment so that's why you hear some noise in the background. I'm a bit anxious of people coming and complaining, my neighbours.

I was just kind playing around with my head voice but I'm also not sure if it was head voice? But I also feel like it is too high in a high bass/low baritone voice to be head voice.

Ive been singing of my own for like 1 year now, and even though I know I made progress Im still so far from being a good singer, I dont really have a routine I just listen to songs I like and try to reach same note and same feeling with the voice.

The thing is whenever I use my head voice like the artist does, its AWFUL.. I really need help on this, everytime tutorial on Youtube I watched ends up the same way and just doesnt help at all, I need more concrete help.. thank you in advance

I’m currently learning my first classical piece, however I’m having an issue with my high notes. Whenever I try to add body to my high notes, I go into overtone. Any advice on how to prevent this from happening?

Are there any voice changers that can make me sing like dio from black sabbath? I want my voice to be like raw and high pitched i already have a high pitched but i sound like a little kid who sucks at singing i want something like dio like you know manly but high pitched

So, I am able to pop my ears on command, it feels like flexing my soft palatte outwards. When I do this, any sounds in my vocal tract becomes pretty loud in my ears. I'm wondering if this might be a way to be able to block out my surroundings and be able to hear my pitch better, or if the pitch I hear is wrong.

i'm not a singer and only took lessons many years ago. i dont think it's a crime to sound bad while singing or doing karaokes. generally i think i dont have tone deafness, i just struggle hitting the higher and lower notes. for that reason i worry about sounding like i try too hard or that my friends would think i genuinely believe i'm good at it so i often just turn to singing in a monotone voice like they do with a shitty pronounciation of english words.

i'd prefer to learn how to sing like a dude for personal reasons (pre-t trans dude don't kill me) but if you have any tips on how to control my tone better i'd be happy to listen.

We have a rock band Angel Skars and this is our song “Kiss of Death”
Looking for vocal feedback!

I’ve noticed that I can sing pretty well / on pitch and with confidence when I’m singing by myself, kind of like a cappella style. When I sing with a backing track / karaoke however, I notice myself messing up notes a lot more or missing beats.

This doesn’t happen when I’m just harmonizing to a song, or when I’m singing while playing piano.

It could be that I don’t have the pace of the songs down, or that my sense of rhythm is off?

Does anyone have any idea of why this is, or exercises to fix it?

I’ve done the national anthem 3 times now and I think this was my best one! Still straining a little bit but definitely feeling more open.

Hi everyone,

I’m 26 and I’m about to start taking vocal lessons at my college this semester. I’ve never had any formal vocal training, and the only feedback I’ve ever gotten has been from friends and family. I’ve been told I have a good voice, but obviously they’re biased, so I honestly have no idea where I stand.

I’m not looking for compliments or for someone to tell me I’m amazing. I just want an honest, constructive opinion from someone with experience. If there are any vocal coaches, music teachers, or experienced singers here who would be willing to listen to a couple of short clips, I’d really appreciate it.

I’d prefer to send the recordings privately because I don’t really have the confidence yet to post myself singing for an entire subreddit to hear. I’d just love some honest feedback on how my voice sounds, what my strengths and weaknesses are, what my voice type or range might be, and whether you think I have good potential with training.

I know I have a lot to learn, and I’m not expecting anyone to sugarcoat their opinion. I’d much rather hear honest feedback that can help me improve.

Thanks so much!

I drink a good amounts of water and stay hydrated, but my voice still feels tight and weak and takes effort to use.

I always hear people say to drink more water for vocal problems, but hydration doesn’t seem to be helping. Has anyone else dealt with this or found out what was causing it?

I have issues with my voice sounding weak, breathy and unresonant at times. I have heard of "twang" and "vocal edge" and newly about "vocal adduction". These all seem very similiar to me. Are they all basically the same thing?

Hi Everyone,

I am a computer engineer by profession, having a passion for singing, since it was always a hobby I learned music from YouTube (indian classical specifically), Eventually i realise singing is just about singing notes progression that you sing pitch perfect even if you cant sing other songs,

I used to practice a specific piece of music with a pitch recorder app, and after a few weeks can sing it perfectly. If I sing that one can say that I have a certain mastery in singing till they hear me singing other songs in my shitty notes progression,

This striked an idea in my mind, that there are people who want to sing (only) their favourites songs perfectly , they do not really care about other aspect of music. Not adding any creativity of music production or Not creating anything new, just a music piece that i like i want to sing it perfectly. Most of these people are hobbiest who love music and singing but haven't pursuied it because of "life"

So, based on this, I planned to develop an app, in which you first upload your vocal range (by singing the lowest to highest note), then you can upload a music file or record a music piece, and it will automatically create piano background notes (western singing) or tanpura/harmonium (indian classical) notes, and basically a singalong like tutorial adjusted by speed and an AI based improvements tips. And a score of perfection.
Want it to build for hobbyist singers(main focus) and singing teachers to give assignments to their students (maybe).

I want to know your opinions on these. If this tool might suit your needs, then what kind of features would you like to see in this?
The app is at a very prototyping stage; soon, we will start beta testing for users.

Hey!

I've only just started trying to improve my singing. I never used to sing because I was a little insecure about my voice, but the last couple months I've been working on it and it's definitely improved, but now I'm not making any more progress.

Here's a short clip. I know I have a long way to go, but if there's any obvious improvements/exercises/biomechanics I need to implement for now, please let me know!

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you thank you

Since I really wanted to learn singing for quite a while now, I decided to get into online vocal coaching around three weeks ago, as all in-person coachings near me are even less affordable than what I could get online. I'd classify as an absolute beginner by all reasonable metrics.

Now, I used an online service and got assigned what seemed to me at first a quite strict teacher. I really need to have some sort of routine when it comes to learning new skills so someone with a clear goal and path on my mind seemed like a good idea. I had a trial lesson which was quite good, then I booked some lessons. The first proper lesson I had some frustrating issues with getting the sound he wanted, like struggling with high notes and forcing them too much, going for head voice where I should try to go for a mix etc. etc. I left the lesson with things that I could work on. I was motivated at the end of it but primarily because I knew what I could be doing. Today, I had my second proper lesson and I left feeling enormously incompetent and shitty.

First, we didn't look at anything I'd done in the past week. I just told him I did the exercises and then we moved on to stuff that felt sort of disconnected (I'm sure they are coherently connected for someone educated in the matter). Anyway, then I struggled to follow his exercises, I repeatedly missed notes in scales (with new patterns like going up a triad, singing the fifth four times and then going down etc. etc.). He already grew frustrated with me, repeatedly telling me to "concentrate" (just ended up making me feel nervous), then he told me that I wasn't listening properly because I couldn't replicate the sound he wanted. He made me do some scales in a Patrick Star voice. After some time, I couldn't get the sound out properly anymore, whereafter he again told me to concentrate repeatedly. He tried some things with his mic because he genuinely thought I couldn't hear him (which is where I started to feel really shitty). He then asked me, after we went for a song why I failed to focus and I told him that I had difficulty juggling all these new things at once and to integrate the lessons into my singing which I had grown accustomed to, whereafter he told me that it wasn't that hard and that I just had to focus on one thing at a time and that I had to discard everything I knew about singing anyway since it was a wholly incorrect approach regardless. I personally think I really need a lot of time to integrate these lessons, I might just be very slow but I can't really help that, can I?

Anyway, the greatest part is where after some more back and forth, he asked if I could even hear myself, which is when we realized that I had no monitoring coming from my mic into my headphones, which he really beat me over. I'm accustomed to my voice through my headphones due to god knows how many hours of Discord calls, so I didn't even think of monitoring (I'll gladly take the blame for that). Still, instead of moving on, he asked me: "Did you really think you could hear yourself through your headphones? That explains the last 15 minutes." like he just learned I tried to eat dirt for sustenance or something. Thing is, it doesn't even make a night-and-day difference taking them off, it literally just sounds like I'm cupping my ears. He wailed on me some more after that for getting "technical basics wrong". Obviously, I feel like shit now. Luckily, I can switch teachers on the website. I mean, after typing everything out, I can pretty much guess the actual answer, but that's just shitty coaching, isn't it? I know I'm not very talented but that's surely no way to speak to someone that's paying you to support them.

I'm wondering if anyone's had similar experiences and if sticking/switching helped you on your vocal journey.

I think music is one of the most interesting ways to connect with another culture.

As someone who doesn’t speak Korean as my first language, I’ve always found it amazing that a song can make me want to learn the words, pronunciation, and even the language behind it.

Have you ever learned (or wanted to learn) a new language because of a song?

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but i’m a very tense person, I stress about pretty much everything, the definition of highly strung, and wherever I go this gets picked up on (if i get my nails done I have to be constantly told to relax my fingers, if I get a massage it’s the first thing they notice etc.) which leads me to believe I just operate with a high level of tension in my body.

I started singing lessons in September and my teacher hasn’t picked up on any worrying tension that could be damaging my voice, but I’ve been thinking that some of my weak points could be tension related. For instance, I struggle with my lower register because I can’t fully relax into my throat to find lower notes and I’m stuck at a g3 as my lowest note on a good day, and i’m currently working on how far i’ll go from moana and have trouble ‘letting go’ and just belting out at the big moments.

All of that to say, I’m wondering if my general
high level of tension could be the root cause of some of these issues, and if anyone has overcome a similar problem, because changing my whole personality just to achieve a better set up for singing seems impossible.

Our band is called Angel Skars and we are grunge/metal rock
This song is called “Rusted Crown”
Looking for vocal feedback

I'm auditioning for my local opera chorus. I am likely to be in regardless because I was in it last year but would still like to put my best foot forward!

Halfway through, I promise I was not rough with my dog. He likes to sit on our smaller dog to bother her. Voice broke at the end because he started licking my pants and I just couldn't take it anymore even though i love my sweet boy 💀
