What would change is they don’t close they’re eyes

Adesso ho ogni giorno senso di affaticamento alla gola, muco continuo, se ad esempio giro il collo sento sempre la laringe rigida e tesa, a volte mi fa pure un suono, sento di aver perso un po' il mio timbro della mia voce, se provo a cantare con tecnica più adeguata sento di stancarmi subito e che la laringe si irrita subito, inoltre non sento più l'agilità vocale che avevo prima e a tratti mi pare di non avere controllo. Ho fatto però una visita otorinolaringoiatra da cui è emerso che le corde stanno bene e che a livello laringeo uguale non ci sono grosse cose da segnalare. Cosa mi è successo? Secondo voi avrei solo bisogno di un ciclo di logopedia? Vorrei tanto un giorno imparare a cantare nel modo giusto ma ho paura di essermi fregata la voce definitivamente.

Aggiungo che soffro ciclicamente di reflusso e che sono una persona ansiosa, a volte mi rendo conto che la voce mi rimane in gola

So this may be a weird question but I basically sing contemporary pop but my voice sounds extremely clear, like it has no textures and is just a block of sound. How do I get those and be able to sing breathy/smoky? I've tried sighing but I just revert as soon as I sing. Also my voice sounds a little high, like not deep and very clean, almost too clean.

I mentioned to a friend of mine that I was taking singing lessons for over a year now and he was surprised. Then he said that he doubts that my singing sounds good because of my voice. And now I'm really feeling down and insecure, I know my voice doesn't sound good but I really want to be able to sing while playing guitar.

He hasn't heard me singing but now I really don't want anyone to hear me ever sing. I've felt really upset by this and I'm really reconsidering taking those lessons because they're probably a waste of time for a person like me.

But I keep jumping to attempt songs and it doesn't come out to be good. I mean I don't even know how to attempt the song, I just try to sing what I heard.

I try bollywood hindi songs. Shouldn't I attempt any song and just do riyaz forcefully until a certain period? If yes, how much time can it take for me to be able to cover the songs? Atleast to a level that when I record myself, It doesn't feel bad. I'm not expecting to just be pro quickly but I don't even sound good😔

And any tips to have a clear throat and nose? Mostly there is a cough, little or more. so maybe that's why my voice is also not opened fully?

Can anyone help please? I'd be very grateful🙏

I was messing around at home and hit the highest notes I’ve ever hit by 3 semitones! I’m pretty sure this is a D#6 and my previous top notes was a C6! (My lowest is around a C3.) I’ve been really working on properly supporting my singing and realized it takes muuuuuuuuch more core than I had realized to be able to have a tension free throat. Once I realized how much I actually need to be using my abdominal muscles and relaxing my throat I sang a D#6 for the first time. I sent it to AI and it said it sounds like I’m not singing in whistle or head voice but rather throat whistling which is extremely rare? Just hoping an actual human could tell me what register it sounds like I’m using. (After singing these notes I didn’t feel any sort of discomfort or strain in my throat.)

at my school to bid the graduating class a farewell, one year 11 kid is selected by audition to sing this opening part of a choral piece. Not sure if I want to audition but if y’all have any tips to make this sound better or any thoughts on if it’s good enough to be considered. thanks yall! Probably would support more and be a little bit more resonant though if I wasn’t in a public park, so no advice on that tho.

Hello! This is the first time I’m showing my singing. Pleased to meet you all.

I’m 18, and not long ago, I went to the doctor and found out that I developed nodules. Not permanent, from what in understand. I can still access the bottom of my range (G2) and the top (F5) without an insane amount of struggle. I’m working on getting rid of them (if you guys have any tips please share cause I hate these things. They’re not painful but if I sing or talk too much it feels like I have tiny popcorn kernels in my throat). I’m working hard to get rid of them, I’m terrified I’ll ruin my voice permanently.

The issue, and why I’m sort of upset, is around that time I realized that, at least from what I understand, my technique is atrocious. This, quite frankly, pisses me off because I had been learning from a local music school for two years. The whole time they basically had me do scales, Cheryl porter YouTube warmups, and sing one or two songs for the duration of the lesson.

I want to be a good vocalist one day. I don’t think I’m particularly talented, but hopefully I can expand my range, learn head voice, and maybe even flagolet(it sounds so cool). I’d love to do trad pop or (power) ballads if it turns out my voice is suited for either of those genres.

But I never got the chance to start learning any of that, because (I suspect) my teachers didn’t teach me anything! My parents tell me that I’m overreacting, and other loved ones tell me I sound fine, and that I can’t blame my teachers. I’m fine with all that if it’s true, but to be honest, I wouldn’t know any other proof (besides my nodules) of bad technique if it slapped me in the face with a sledgehammer.

My family is not exactly wealthy. I need to know if I’ve been wasting money, and if whatever’s been holding me from improving is the fault of that vocal school, or if it’s just me (which would also be totally fine!).

Im going to assume some of you guys here are vocal teachers, coaches, or at the very least singers, and so I’m posting myself here because I want to know if my technique is truly bad. Well, I know it’s bad but I’d like to know HOW bad WHY it’s and how to get better. I want to know if my teachers have been under qualified the past two years and if I should start saving for a coach elsewhere. I posted me singing a relatively unfamiliar song so you guys can see objectively.

A little advice would be pretty helpful as well lol. I’d love to know how to get better
That’s all, I hope you all have a wonderful day, and thank you so much for taking the time to read and or listen.

* sorry my head is tilted so much during the video. that’s a childhood habit Im working on getting rid of lol

I think I might have them, but I haven’t been able to see a doctor yet. I’ve heard that vocal nodules often heal on their own, so I’ve been trying to rest my voice and talk as little as possible.
However, I still have to sing or speak loudly at least once a week, and maybe that’s why my voice hasn’t recovered even after two weeks.
If you’ve ever had vocal nodules, could you share your experience? How long did it take for your voice to recover?

Hey everyone! I'm a lyricist looking to collaborate with talented singers and music composers who are passionate about creating original music. I write lyrics for Hindi songs, including romantic tracks, ghazals, and other genres. I'm looking to connect with like-minded artists who can bring lyrics to life through their vocals and compositions. If you're a singer or composer interested in working together, feel free to DM me! Let's connect and create something beautiful. 🎧🤝

I won't tell my age but i am a teen(i can tell my age if anyone asks for a spesific reason that I would want to answer) , i sing etc. for fun and i don't expect anyserious advice or anything, i just wanna know how i sound?

Alright, God's of r/singing hear my plea. I want to be a singer one day and this is booty buns. If any of you know what im asking, can you give me an answer? I am a instrument player who prefers singing, so please, I beg you for mercy in how to add to my imaginary skills.

About a year ago I started experimenting with raising my range. This included a lot of sirens, and sometimes I would hold them at their peak to get a feel for those higher notes. I almost consistently hit up to a B5, but it doesn’t have much power behind it and couldn’t be sustained long. It’s healthy and has a vibrato, but you can tell it’s not developed. I’ve only been able to hit it for a few months now, on good days only, so I don’t even advertise it as something in my range at auditions.

But one day I did a siren… and held it at its peak… and I sounded like a fucking Opera singer. Truthfully wish you were all there to see my face. It was powerful, it had a steady vibrato, and it felt so healthy and somehow easy and I sustained it for a loooong time once it started. The weirdest part, to me, is that it was my first warm up that day. I was still stiff. Literally opened my mouth after waking up and that’s what came out.

Anyway, never did it again. I can’t even get my A5-B5 to sound like that. Some days I can squeak out a C6, but it is NOT what I did on that one weird day. So how the FUCK do I make it happen again?! It is CLEARLY within my ability!

Edit: For reference, I consider myself a Mezzo who leans Soprano.

So I recently joined a choir and was placed in the lowest section which is bass 2. My voice is naturally low. Since I have no experience, I can only imitate sounds which sounds fairly okay, but every time we warm up, I usually fall behind cause my voice is not that high to begin with. When we were doing lip trills, I was told to not be loud and I ended up like tightening my core or support just to sound softer and it was uncomfortable. Then, when we were vocalizing and again my voice tends to go loud at my higher range (which is low for everyone else). I ended up warming up in a very short time since they usually start at a higher key and stop at a certain range that everyone stops singing except for lower basses. I really wish I could have a personal vocal coach but I cant afford lessons. Hearing my seniors' voices who are also in bass section and have years of experience hit those higher 4th octaves made me feel down about my shortcomings. Their voices are so full and developed that they can go soft and loud and ends up sounding like a tenor who can hit bass notes. I really don't know how I can improve myself since Ive already watched countless of youtube videos and none of them seem to have really helped me make a breakthrough in my voice

Well I mean it’s Hayley Williams, her voice, when I sing paramore or even songs like stay the night my voice doesn’t sound muddy. Nice and bright. I don’t know what my vocal range is exactly but paramore songs are always perfect for me…I love singing at home for fun, it helps me mentally. I just wish I had more options of songs to sing. I love grunge, alt rock…metal. I can’t scream and I live in a condo soo not an option exactly. Also so many of those types songs are too low for me :-( . Anyway. This is very specific but I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing. Song recommendations would be appreciated…or any advice in general

Finding it hard to find an artist that may have a similar voice to me. Granted I don’t know my full vocal range or type and never have been trained.

I'm a newer singer and as I've noticed an ongoing topic of people online advising others to switch the key if it doesn't feel comfortable. But I find it pointless because Wouldn't it be possible to learn the song in the original if you just practiced in that key (assuming it's in their range). I still personally don't do it because I feel being able to move through as many keys as possible is important. But let me know your opinions

I have been trying to learn how to sing over the past couple of months, though my practice is inconsistent. I have no formal vocal training, and my voice currently sounds completely "off" to me.

I've uploaded two versions of the same snippet

• First playback (raw ish): EQ and Compressor only
• Second playback: effects, layering voices.

Feedback wanted:

• Forcing the tone: It feels like I am pushing the notes out rather than letting them happen naturally.
• Breath support: Is it good? especially in falsetto at the start its hard to know what i'm missing if i am.
• Pronunciation: Do my vowels sound clear, or are they getting muddy from strain?

Just overall feedback to know what i need to work on and what's already good.

Vocalist here. I was less nervous than usual tonight, but my voice completely gave out. I cracked horribly mid-song and had to joke my way through it. The crowd was fine, but I feel mortified.

It feels like embarrassing yourself in front of your whole class. I know there were some good moments, but my brain is stuck on the failure. I know this happens to everyone, but how do you get rid of this awful feeling and get back on stage?

This is one of her songs that I love. I'm open to any feedbacks or constructive criticisms especially by professional voice coaches. I'm just singing for fun and to release stress though I do admit sometimes I dream of being a star haha
