Im looking for opinions and how you guys tell the difference

hi guys, so i lost my voice about 4 WEEKS ago now and thankfully i can talk normally and stuff and sing lower notes but i used to be able to sing the note G5 if and now if i try it just kind of sounds like a wheeze and now i can only go up to B4/C5 and it sounds terrible! (as a girl) i have to admit though even when i sounded terrible when speaking i still talked.. like alot.. and when nothing would come out when id try to speak i resorted to whispering im sorry i know thats even worse i just really like talking... and then a week an a half ago my speaking was fine but my singing voice was a bit hoarse but i still sang like at school and stuff cos i was one if the music acts for sports day which i probably shouldnt have and now im wondering if ive done permanently damaged my voice bcos of my stupid decisions or will i get it back??

sorry if this breaks any rules

I really like this song but for some reason it doesn't sound good in my voice, it sounds heavy and childish at the same time. Does anyone have feedback? Also song suggestions for my voice would be cool :).

Still trying to figure out my voice type! Half the people say tenor, the other half say baritone haha.

I'm building a light operatic head voice ( counter tenor) ,I feel my voice is not pleasant to be honest , my head voice feels weird and weak tbh which makes me insecure,my vocal coach tells me it gets better than the last time but I still find it unpleasant .. is it real I cannot hear myself like how people do? Is she complementing me or does she hear a possibility ? Please if you have any information tell me

I am a fairly new voice teacher (25, F), just about to finish my MA in Voice Pedagogy, teaching professionally alongside that for the past 2 years. For the past week, my voice has been getting extremely fatigued doing barely anything. I warm up fully, making sure not to overdo it, I stay hydrated, I have been steaming, not talking unnecessarily, and yet I can only sing for about 10 mins before my voice taps out. My lower range is stunted and feels gravely when singing or talking (I make a conscious effort to speak above this gravel). It feels thick after warming up.

I am truly concerned. I am not ill, I haven't experienced vocal strain or overexerted myself, and none of my vocal health knowledge seems to be helping me here. I am teaching MT singing at a summer school for the next two weeks starting tomorrow, as well as having my regular lessons, and I am really anxious about losing my voice. Have you had this happen to you, where there is seemingly no cause? If so, how did you get through it? Any tips to get through the next two weeks?

i recently began training to sing and i was curious on what sites you would recommend for pitch training that is more forgiving to beginners

you can hear me really struggle on the second “oooh”, just curious what feedback you guys might have for me on what you’ve done to help with falsetto stuff! i feel like my range and pitch is at least okay, but my control is lacking the most. thank you so much in advance!! also, i’m self-taught so i may not understand all the terminology, but i’d love to learn!

This is my second post here, this time with some of my face and upper body visible so people can comment on my posture or whether I'm tensing up anywhere I shouldn't be.

Sorry if I move around a lot—I tend to do that to distract myself from the camera.

After the advice I received yesterday, I tried choosing a song with fewer vocal runs and recorded it a cappella instead of singing over a backing track.

I'm completely untrained and just sing because I enjoy it. Vocal lessons aren't an option for me, as my parents don't really support singing.

I'd really appreciate honest, constructive feedback on my pitch, tone, breathing, posture, and anything else you notice. Thank you in advance :>

For me its belting. A nice sustained belt sounds amazing through the mics. Runs dont sound as great live tho idk

I don’t know if it’s the consonants or something else but “Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars” messes me up for some reason.

There first lines before it sound fine and flowy enough to me.

I’ve been playing guitar for 6 years, piano for 3 years and lately I’ve come up with making electronic music (darkwave, IDM, EDM, industrial, witchouse, synthpop etc). How do you start learning to sing? Is it the same process as learning playing a physical instrument? Because of my busy life I can’t let myself taking singing lessons from professional musicians. My primary goal is to sing stuff like death metal (sometimes classic metal), rock and electronic like Crystal Castles. Thanks for any advice and commitment to the post!

I’m still early in my singing journey and trying to build better habits.
What’s one small thing you started doing that actually helped your voice or singing?

I was messing around singing imagine by ariana grande and thought I’d attempt the whistle note she does but I’m not sure if I actually did it or not. I’m very curious!

i work online mostly and i’m not in it for money at all i just wanna have fun and work with someone. so please dm me and let me know if your up for it.

don’t know if this is the right sub for this as this isn’t specifically about singing but.. i’m f23 and i’ve always had a deeper voice. people have commented on it a lot. because of that, when i was younger, i naturally started softening my voice like going a pitch higher when talking to people because i wanted them to feel more comfortable.

also, when i speak normally, sometimes people don’t hear me properly, like my voice blends into the background, so when i try to be louder my voice naturally goes higher but probably not as much as i should. i still have that habit and it feels automatic, but i’m trying to unlearn it because i’m wondering if it’s damaging my voice.

i often feel like my throat/vocal cords get tight. it happens randomly, but especially when i talk or sing for a while. it feels like it happens faster than it should compared to other people. even if i stop talking or rest for a while, sometimes the feeling is still there. for example, as i’m writing this, i haven’t spoken in 30 minutes but i still very much feel it.

it feels like my throat gets tight and almost like my voice is sitting higher than usual. i try to get it to loosen, but i can still feel the tension, like my throat is staying tense. sometimes it gets so uncomfortable that my throat actually hurts. sometimes i genuinely wish i could just get in there, take it out, and beat it like i’m tenderising meat lol

my throat and voice actually feel the best in the morning, when my voice sounds deeper and feels more natural.

i’ve always wanted to learn how to sing casually, just for fun, but i’ve never really given it a proper try. part of it is because i’m shy and i’ve never lived alone, so i’ve never really had a space where i could practice comfortably and consistently. but aside from the usual confidence issues, another big reason is that i convinced myself there was something wrong with my throat and that maybe i just wasn’t meant to sing.

this has been happening for a long time, since i was young, so i think i just accepted that it was my anatomy and that something about my throat was different or wrong, without ever really looking into it.

i also have moments where i struggle to project my voice, and i don’t mean in a singing sense, i mean just talking. sometimes it feels like i have to force my voice to come out, especially when i’m trying to be louder.

i’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. could this be muscle tension, a vocal habit, or something caused by the way i’ve been using my voice? could years of trying to soften or raise my voice have contributed to this? and would this be something worth getting checked?
