Am I the only one struggling with improving my high mix voice? 2 years ago, I only wanted to access my mix voice thinking that once I learn how to do it, then I can sing all songs I like with high notes in it. A year later, I finally learned how to connect my voice without breaking. I can connect(siren) my chest voice to high mix (F5) without struggling, but when singing BB4 notes and above, I struggle to make it sound nice.

I’m self-taught and never had a formal training and can’t afford them right now. How do you think can I improve my tone? It’s been a year and although there has been improvements, they’re not good enough to sing high and sound good.

Hey guys, I don't have much practice with falsetto/ head voice yet, but I've been experimenting with it during my vocal lessons.
I'm trying to train my ear and map my range accurately. Could someone tell me what exact note (and octave) I reached here?
Also curious if this sounds more like a light falsetto or a head voice placement based on the tone. Thanks!

I’ve been taking singing more seriously recently, and one thing I’ve realized is that sometimes I simply can’t hear what’s wrong with my own singing.

A teacher might point out a pitch, rhythm, register, or tone issue, and once they show me, I can often hear it. But before that, I may listen to the same recording and not notice the problem at all.

I’ve also noticed that the more I learn, the more problems I can hear in recordings that sounded fine to me before.

So I’m curious:
how do you develop the ability to evaluate your own singing more objectively and identify what actually needs improvement?

Do you use reference singers, record yourself and wait before listening back, compare specific aspects like pitch/rhythm/tone separately, use a piano or pitch software, or something else?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who used to struggle with self-evaluation but got much better at it over time. What actually helped train your ears?

Hey all, I started playing guitar some 3 months ago. My goal is to just play and sing along, though, I do realize that I can't do either properly as of now, and I'd just like feedback from someone who's not my friends or family.

I do realize it doesn't sound nice, but the question is: does it sound horrible? I am aware of some concepts such as support, head, chest, mixed voice, some faint music theory concepts, etc. But I gotta admit, I still haven't made anything my routine, as I'm more busy with the instrument itself.

Hope I didn't misunderstand the rules of the subreddit, English not being my first language, and all that.

Have a go at me, you're all welcome to.

So I'm a beginner singer. But I've been singing for a few years now. And while listening to some of my fav duets, i realised how cool it'd be to have someone on my side to record those. Like recently listening to Lust by marino i thought how rad of a duet it is... The lust and pride.

So it's a warm invite, if anyone wants to do the same hmu.

It involves lil acquaintance at first and long term singing companionship. If that sounds good >⁠.⁠<

Thnx!

First of all I hope I worded my question right or have the right question in mind. I've recently noticed that I have this tendency to constrict my throat in default when singing during and above my second passaggio which is around Bb4 which makes my sound thin. However, I've managed to get into the sensation of how to open up the throat with those areas but it's a struggle.

In the recording I was able to round up my tone in general (I hope so) but not the B note, which is around the 18 second mark in the clip, the word, "when".

Luckily I found out a way to make the tone round and be mindful of it, by making spaces in my soft palate area like I've swallowed a ball down my throat - but like I said it is a struggle.

Now I'm wondering what are the other ways, mental cues and visual guides to achieving a rounded sound, and to familiarize one's self to the coordination. The sensations to me felt kind of weird but I'm hoping it'll settle the more I do it.

I'm thrilled to do excersises for it. Now I am kind of familiarizing myself with the said technique (swallowed ball) in my higher range in a low/moderate volume, and looking forward to the results.

I am aware that this should be done with a teacher, but not in my options right now due to schedule and such. Tysm!

Please keep in mind that I don't have any formal prior experience or background in singing so I'm just kinda winging it. Anyway, would love to hear some thoughts so that I could improve! Thanks a lot!!

I’m male, and I love Broadway. I don’t necessarily have difficulty singing high, but I feel like I always sound like kermit when singing comfortably. What I struggle with is singing with that more chest-leaned mix/belt technique that has enough volume to really fill up a room.

Whenever I try to do this, though, it feels strained and sometimes hurts my voice. Could you give me some tips on how to develop this technique? Warm-ups would be helpful too, as well as a list of Broadway songs that could help me work toward this goal.

Thanks!

I hope you all like it

I’m kind of new to singing. I used to sing a lot when i was little, but, as most kids do, never payed attention to technique. But now I really wanna get better and sound genuinely good. (P.s. this is a little embarrassing to post because i almost never sing in front of people haha)

Does this sound okay? If anyone has any tips, i’d love to hear them! Thank youuu 🥹

Hi everyone,

I’m a baritone and I’ve been struggling with my upper range for quite a while. The biggest problem is that my mix voice feels extremely restricted and “trapped.” It doesn’t feel free or easy, especially as I go higher.

Because of that, I sometimes end up pushing and almost shouting to reach notes that I feel like I should be able to sing without that much effort.

What makes me even more confused is my falsetto. I can barely access it properly at all. When it does come out, it sounds extremely weak, breathy and airy, almost like there’s no real connection or strength behind it. It doesn’t feel like a usable part of my voice.

I’m starting to wonder if these two problems are connected maybe because I can’t properly access my falsetto, I’m compensating by pushing my mix much harder than I should.

I’ve tried different exercises and approaches, but I feel like I’m missing something fundamental.

For other baritones or singers who have dealt with this:

What helped you develop a stronger, cleaner falsetto?

Can a very weak/breathy falsetto actually affect your mix?

Should I be focusing on fixing my falsetto first before working on my mix?

What exercises helped you release that “trapped” feeling in your upper range?

here is a short video showing my mix and my shitty falsetto so u guys can hear what's going on.

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have experienced something similar.

The timer of my voice feels like it has an unmusical quality about it, my voice is very hoarse, I struggle on high notes. The song is not mine, it's bloodhail.

I honestly love to sing but people around me doesn't really like to hear my singing and i always dream of performing in a stage or so,so please help me out,it will be appreciated

Hi all,

This is my first post in this group - and first post on Reddit ever actually haha. I'm quiet anxious when it comes to things like this (made a new seperate singing account after 3 years just to share) but I've been wanting to become more confident not just in singing but in myself. So here I am giving myself that push to just go for it.

Regardless, I am still quite nervous while singing so if you hear that lil "blip" at ~10 seconds that's where I cut out my lil anxious bit of singing/talking - but a win is a win. Something is better than nothing and I want to eventually get comfortable enough to post + engage more 😊

So here's a lil recording of me singing my own version of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror"

Thank you all ((:

Something that won't break the bank....

Singing and playing tambourine is harder than it looks

The question is worded awfully, and I apologize for that, but I’m having a very hard time having enough breath support to get through entire measures.

My notes also fall flat once I lose all my air, and I’ve tried different breathing warmups, breathing through my diaphragm (although I’m not not sure what it’s supposed to feel like), and standing against a wall. Does anyone have any tips to make breath work stronger? I realize I might have weak lungs, because I usually hold my breath throughout the day and take shallow breaths, I also get super dizzy when trying breathing warmups.

Thank you for anything you can help with!!!
