    When you start out, you'll hate your voice. After mixing and mastering my own music for years, I now don't hear my voice any more. What I mean is that it sounds just as detached as hearing someone else's voice. Only when you reach this stage can you objectively judge your skill and style.

      Thanks for this. I bought my music equipment about two years ago and tried to record myself and I lost faith in myself because of how I sounded. Not knowing that the average the artist has an audio engineer that equalises their voice and adds reverb to it and so many other things. I am now going back to the basics FL studio and learning first the techniques on how to record your voice and then how to mix and master it. I know I can sing and I know I have potential I’m just glad it’s not only me who has felt like their voice sounds disgusting recorded lmao. Gives me hope

It took me 6 years to get confidents to record. And EVERYONE now says I have the voice for it. KEEP GOIN DONT STOP. I WAISTED 6 years for nothing. Keep at it. I promise.

    Every vocal is a guitar solo. Every guitar solo is a vocal, and both are phrasing. I am working on finding the honesty in the phrasing, which takes...not thinking about it. You have to find yourself in the words, and alter the words to find yourself. You have to mean what you are saying, and if you can't change the words, then you have to find what they mean to you. If you don't mean it, it won't come out right. This is a great video - very inspiring and instructive.

    @tubeguy009 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I must say that this vid hit me with your best shot as far as being a vocalist and going through all you mention. The mind set is paramount. I did and still do perform looking for perfection as you stated although not quite like I used to as I am older now and have the attitude, "I sing for myself and hope you like it". Self confidence is the key and it can be hard to gain. A guitar player friend once told me, "Sing like you are telling a story".

  • @carriefingsolomon

    This was my first introduction to Chris Liepe. I was digging a trench for a long brick walkway in the dead of winter. It was fucking freezing and hard work but I was so enthralled by the audio. Blew my mind. I listened to his videos on loop for a month while moving several tons of material, soaking up all the knowledge I could and clarifying and confirming what I learned intuitively through the years.
    I'm indebted to this guy. He helped me build a metaphorical foundation while I was literally digging and laying a walkway fountain one brick at a time.

    Oh thanks for this, will definitely give it a try. No wonder why I sound better in Karaoke living room when just singing comfortably & having fun than in recording booth. There’s so much intimidation going on once I face a pop filter, distance to mic, thinking all about precision, and how to behave properly because I’m in my sacred studio setup. I never thought about those 3 points Chris mentioned. Thanks!

    Excellent tips. I will try that conversational approach next time in the booth. For me personally I have found the best continuity in a vocal performance is to sing the song all the way through while feeling emotionally charged to do so and ignoring any mistakes along the way. Sometimes I will do multiple takes and sometimes I only do one.

  • @hgstarsongs
    @hgstarsongs 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh boy, did I ever need to watch this video! This is fantastic advice! I live my life - both musically and just in general - in a perfectionism loop. I really struggle with it, and I've allowed it to take hold so much that it's killed my creativity and workflow. I always talk a big game and have great plans - I just never get anything done because my efforts never seem good enough. I am a singer (as well as a songwriter/pianist) myself, and I've always commented that one of the things I really like about other vocalists that I consider "cream of the crop" is that it feels like they sing "to" you and not "at" you. I know enough about the concept of conversational singing to recognize when I hear and admire it in other singers, and I know it's a really great trait to have, but I've never quite absorbed that bit of advice myself or even really ever heard it explained in a video. I bookmarked this one to come back to again and again, as I think it's something that may really help me moving forward. Thank you, Graham, and thank you, Chris, for putting together such a great video!

    Exactly what I use to face a lot before while my vocal recording sessions. It is your feelings that makes you think you sound better while casual rehearsals but sound not up to the mark while actual recording. I think yes, we need stop thinking about theories, expectations, nervousness etc. Just like we forget while bathroom-singing & need to be casual & emotionally connected while recording, that's the most important aspect. Because a little technically imperfect track with full of emotions will always sound better than a technically perfect emotionless track.
    Moreover we don't have to worry these days about vocal takes because of these DAW softwares, we can always have another take of a section if it is required, something which was not common on old days. Singers had to sang in a single take.

    WOW! This is very powerful information! I like to sing to myself, sort of like a way to get rid of pent-up energy, but I don’t record myself (it’s more of a secret hobby). I tried the technique of just reading the words, as if I’m having a conversation with someone; I did the song “I Dreamed a Dream” (Les Miserables, Fantine). I think I felt more of Fantine’s emotional stress doing this exercise, than I have actually singing this song. This has really helped me, a lot, Thank You.
