    Interesting video. I'm wondering if you can possibly give some sound snippets of other people speaking or singing, as examples of different timbre. Then I could listen to their voices and then my own and see which one is the closest match to my own? Or perhaps you could name some various songs and singers of those songs as examples of the various timbres?

    Wow - interesting! This is a surprise! My father used to talk about voice timbre when I was a kid, and I’ve never known what quality he was talking about, til now, 60 years later. Going by this video, I must be the second one, because I’m not flutey or husky. I’m dark and dull, and when I sing, it’s what I call a ‘minor’ voice. Like Elvis’s voice. Though I’m female. Maybe that’s the dark you speak of? You blew me away in this video because of something you said, about styles……. I’d just written about finding my art style, having tried various styles and media over the years. - I paint ultra realism, and find it relatively easy, but I also love and want to play with abstract and loose. How to combine ultra realism and abstract!? Your singing analogy here, is so en pointe, I’ve Saced to video, and emailed it to myself as well. Thankyou.

    I actually like my voice when my technique is on point, but I sometimes wish I could sound edgier and better suited to rock music - more energetic, I guess. Instead it's dark, heavy, a little smoky, and makes everything sound like a lullaby.

    • @kaffeebaby4690
      @kaffeebaby4690 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Your voice can still be suited to rock. Amy Lee from Evanescence is an example of a smoother timbre in rock music. Her voice isn't "edgy" compared to other vocalists, but it's really suited to rock ballads and might have that "lullaby" quality you describe your voice as having. She can still belt and sound more energetic, so maybe her voice is less dark, but it's got a haunting, less punchy aspect to it that makes her stand out.

    This was very enlightening. Apparently I have a brassy voice and I think I've been fighting against it for so long that I haven't been progressing as quickly as I would like. I love your voice so maybe I'll try to embrace my timbre instead of being so scared of it!

    I have 2 different good pieces of text (for "read it like a list") that can help identify you (although they're more commonly used for accents): The Rainbow Passage (yes, that's what it's called) and (by Int'l Dialects of English Archive) "Comma Gets a Cure," although both are just read normally. Using the first half-paragraph (the paragraphs may seem shorter than they are), I found my voice is:
    Husky (but not as much so as Johanssen- I tested it against "Trust In Me")
    On the clearer side
    Relatively heavy
    On the darker side
    In retrospect, a lot of this makes sense: l've been singing "That's My Story (And I'm Sticking To It)" a lot recently and I noticed my voice sounds somewhat similar to his, although his is slightly more brassy.

  • @duayne6333
    @duayne6333 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think what I can’t stand the most about my voice is how heavy it is. It tends to become very hard to sing what I would consider high notes for my voice type so anything from a B3-E4 that’s where it’s the hardest to sing. I feel like it can be a bit difficult to sing these happier songs due to the depth and deepness of my voice so I’d say I’m a husky voice with a dark sound with a slight warmth to my voice and it’s heavy

    So my voice is very heavy I’m a male with a relatively deep voice it’s definitely dark and I can hear that darkness and depth in my low notes and my mid belts although I do have to lighten my sound so that I’m not adding unnecessary tension on my vocal cords but my voice is very clear I don’t have a breathy sound nor do I think I sound brassy so I might be a huskier singer with clarity to my voice.

    Finally, some classification instead just abstract word timbre. Thank you for this.
    As I understood, the same person speaking and singing timbre is the same one definition and speaking and singing could not be two different timbres? Same person voice can be both light and dark and not just one type? Then why in opera there is either light or dark voice categories?
    Is there could be that timbres of false chords also have at least few categories?
    Is my voice husky or brassy? Is that considered light or dark? Am I right that this could be an example of brassy and light voice: th-cam.com/video/d6nnMoMhBlw/w-d-xo.html ?

    Bad/lazy speaking habits can create a voice that's stuck back in the throat. I've trained my voice to sit more forward and bright. It takes time but you shouldn't accept a husky, swallowed tone as something natural. It's fatiguing and unhealthy.
