Do you spend too much time Hating on your voice? It’s time for a game! It's natural to focus on the things you don’t like about your voice. You might get so stuck on the bad stuff, that you completely miss what’s (or GREAT) about your voice. In this video, I’m going to demonstrate how to analyze your voice and pick out what’s good so you can build on those strengths. Great singing is about recognizing, developing and playing to your strengths! Let me show you how to do that!
I used to love my voice, until I tried to record and listen to it 😂
Listening to recordings of ourself shows us EVERYTHING in our voice, doesn’t it?? 😅
Record and work everyday at it
@@jasoncabral8732 That's how I got a bit better and now I actually like my voice when it's recorded!
@@irinap3275 I record in the bedroom above the carpet on my phone. The sound is DEAD. Everything is exposed. There's good days and BAD days but fun. I also record in a concrete stairwell. It's amazing the forgiveness echo gives. Nice Irina. My best to you.
@@jasoncabral8732 Thank you! And I also record with my phone. I'm not a singer but I want to get better at it so I'm trying my best.
I like that I have “multiple” voices
Tbh, not a singer. I'm a writer who's trying to turn some of his work into audiobooks by myself but still found this vid very motivational.
it's comforting to know that voice self-hatred isn't my lone problem!!
My bluesy growl. lol. hated my twang for years and then, like you said, came to embrace it.
Velvety tone, sonorous sustain.
I will thank you for all your advise.......!!!!
I like my darker tones especially when I use legato and vibrato
Thank you for this video!
Thanks I freaking hate my singing voice, even my friends like it.
Me too!😂
I don’t like my singing and even my friends hate it... mostly because I “sing” almost all the time
I like my aggressive singing and I'm making good progress on soft singing too. I'd like to record something using what I have and learn more about myself
I love you chris
Hey Chris - thank you for this awesome video! Can you do a video on the band The Cars? Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr were great singers - almost characters like you talk about. Anyhow, thanks for everything you do!
I decided to finish and post my single to TH-cam even though I didn't like my voice. Many people liked how I sounded. 😂
Damn glad I found your channel.
I’m a vocalist (harsh and clean) that’s been doing vocals for about 10 years now, and have never had an actual lesson before. And between you, extreme vocal institute, and kardavox academy, I have improved tremendously. I still feel my clean singing is a little rough, but screaming or gritty singing, I now feel comfortable and confident. Thank you sir, all 3 of you need more credit for doing these types of videos for us
This is great to read Alex, thanks for sharing!
bro i needed this
The problem for me is that my voice is more emotional. And i like more aggressive and fast music. It dont fit the picture :p
One of my demons aswell. Tough one to shake
I have actually been happily clapping my hands when watching your intro just now, like a child being happy about Sesame Street coming on. I'm always excited as to what I'm going to find out from your knowledge and wisdom you this time. :-)
Alright: I really like my voice cracks. Yeap, as counter intuitive as that might sound, it sometimes adds a vibe of lamentation that I think sounds pretty cool. Let's see what we can do with that.
I’ve learned this time;
1. Tone range and pitch range
2. Gaming the voice / with voice.
Although the same voice/ same volume, the color of voice vary with tone.
Thank you. And I really enjoy your teaching.😄🙏
Definitely guilty of hating my voice. I think i sound like shit either on recording or just what I hear myself doing. Ive been told I sound good. I guess Im just self conscious as all hell :(
It's a struggle for everyone for sure!
Well only things that I don't like currently are;
a-Wish I had just a few more notes at the lower end of my vocal range. My lowest note is F2 so... yeah.
b-The edge sound from SLS. Its temporary but I can't toggle between easily.
And these are things that can be worked on. So yeah...
warming up beforehand, (maybe even literally drinking warm water) is usually good and gets me able to go down a bit further than usual, sometimes even like a whole m3 lower than usual
try it out
Here’s a video you might appreciate! th-cam.com/video/7qtKF0lLsiU/w-d-xo.html Also, have you checked out my free vocal course yet? It’s linked here in the description of this video. :)
@@petal_cult Hmm, I don't know about the "warm-up" warming up, but maybe warming up literally may help. I will try this ASAP! Thanks!
I like how it feels when I sing what’s in my head and not listen to the result. It always comes off as more genuine when I trust my pitch brain but when I listen I’m more worried about how I will sound and not how I hear it myself. Thanks Chris for showing that it’s not all just about improving but also accepting yourself and your voice for how they are !
I have JUST been talking to a friend about how much I hate my singing voice! But now that I listen to it after this video, I like my mid-range cleans, false cord voicings of any kind and belted highs!
Hey Chris. Would love to see a video on how to sing like Mike Patton from Faith no more! Love your content cheers.
only Mike gets to sing like Mike. ;)
How the hell don’t you have a million subscribers man... such a great aproach in every video
soon :) Channel is only a year old! Spread the word!!
Hell yeah! I’ve been spreading the word ever since I’ve subscribed to your free singing course, great great stuff :)
The new videos you post are the best thing about the social distancing/lockdown/covid thing were going through right now.
😊❤️🙏🏼
Sure I would love to play that game, if my only available microphone didn't made me sound worse than I already do. I guess since I don't have a piece of great equipment, I'll just remain hating myself.
What drives me crazy is sometimes I actually like how my voice sounds, but if I record it and play it back, it's pure garbage.
Don’t give up!!
that means you're not comfortable with recording
@@c95060 I might like how it sounds in my head while recording, but it sounds way different played back
@@raiden031 are you recording with a professional mic? if that's not the case you voice will be sounding like shit no matter what you do
@@c95060 no just a cell phone. I'd like to think that but based on comments from others at home, I would say I do sing like garbage.
my voice sounds so bad to me that I can't even listen back to the recordings
This short video helped me so much! It seemed like such an unorthodox method but it worked. Thank you!
I have to be honest, you’re a really good teacher man, I’m a full on singer and people always call my voice, gorgeous, beautiful etc. and well I never see it ever. I hate my voice and yeah. I gotta say thank you for helping me especially through mixed voice.
I'm really sad about my voice , I'll try all the things you suggest, thanks great teacher.
You can do it!
Thank you! Watching this process really helped me fill in the gaps that stand between me and honoring my voice. I’ve tried workshopping my sounds, but spend so much time weakness-fixing rather than noting what’s working. Amazing video!
This is amazing! You always pick the best topics! Thank you! I hated my voice at first but I'm getting used to it I guess lol
I like the fact that I can sing songs by Olivia Newton-John easily and it sounds pretty
I hate the fact that when I try to sing songs by Anne Wilson… I sound like Barbie on steroids lol
I like the pauses between words, and also the ends of phrases.
I like how I can go from mixed voice, down to a very deep chest voice! I AM going to cradle this ability and conjure something frightfully dynamic! Thanks, Chris!!!
I don’t like my voice. I feel it’s too soft and child-like. I’m 23 by the way. ☹️
Serious question, I don't like anything about singing voice at all, even my own speaking voice. I can't find anything about my voice that I like no matter what I try to look for. It's honestly very discouraging for me because I enjoy singing and have original songs I wanna sing on, but no matter how many times or what I try, I just hate my own voice. Is there any advice anyone has to help me through this?
I think this video is SO important for you then! You need to start picking things out about your voice that you LIKE and focus on those things. If you take the mental approach that you can't find ANYTHING... then you have a defeatist mindset and you won't progress beyond it. Focus... Think positively and FIND IT! :)
I hate my voice, too deep for what I want to do.
Stop hating your voice! :)
@@chrisliepe I'm starting to see the range...I feel confident with nutshell by alice in chains, but not man in the box lol.
I am sure you know EXACTLY what I am talking about. You're amazing brother, just amazing. Inspiring. I'm still at it...
I like my vibrato and the upper part of my mixed voice (though I don’t know how to use it properly). Thank you for the video, Chris!
This is probably the hardest thing in singing that I've dealt with so it's important to face and improve on. I really like my vocal range and my timbre. Gonna give this a try today :)
I typically hate hearing recordings of my voice, but I talk to myself out loud all the time and don’t mind that. What I mostly like about my voice is the flexibility it can have when making other noises. I enjoy mimicking noises I like with my voice, sometimes to the annoyance of others who think I’m making fun of them.
Hey man its so cool that you upload this much great content, and for free. Keep on the good work!
There's a tone I get when I intentionally sing sloppy. It's like I get in character which works for the music I like making and it all gels together nicely. Majority of the time I can't get it right but when I do it's a great feeling. Must try for it more and work out why exactly I'm doing to get it. I prefer singers who have and use their own unique voice vs technically great singers
Hey there Chris! I am a HUGE fan of your work, although I've only been aware of you for a short span of a few weeks. I LOVE your ability to linger on notes whilst using such a rich and varied palette of hues and tinges. You can sing the Blues and that Grunge / Alternative Rock / Alternative Metal kinda stuff like it's no-one's business. I'm still VERY new to actually trying to sing, but I like the sense of darkness to my voice. It's a kind of bellowing I suppose. A hint of grit whilst in a lower register. I don't know if I'll ever be able to cover a wide range of notes and colours, but I may or may not be cut out to sing a fairly decent Blues Rock. Thanks for yet another stellar video! I actually save many of them to a playlist where I can revisit them! Kind regards.
I guess since I've been singing for years I've just kinda accepted my voice, however, I'm really happy of the range I've gained recently since the lockdown started. Who knew that practice was so effective
Awesome! Yes!!
I think the problem why many people hate their own voices is because they want to have an academically 'correct' voice, and due to that they often become too self-conscious. They do not realise that the imperfections are exactly why people are interested in listening to our favorite singers, NOT because their tones 'sound correct'. Imagine if Stevie Wonder sacrifices his signature nasality for the sake of sounding academically perfect - his songs would have never sounded the same!
People should embrace what makes their voices different and accordingly work on those strengths they have, while also ensuring that they are also improving in their weaker areas.
Great thoughts!!
Should I go full bald? My hair feels so tied to my rocker personality but it’s thinning bad.
Yes
Thanks Chris :)
Is that a Shure SM7B mic in the beginning?
yes
Great video! Could you make a video showing transformation of your voice or some recordings of your voice in the past? I am curious how you used to sound few years ago =D
I've noticed I'm pretty good at imitation. And that includes some of the exact things you talked about. All that variance and depth and character. I actually LEARN that when imitating songs I like.
Then I think back and kinda go over what I did with my voice.
Tho like most ppl, I hate how I sound recorded. I think that bit of reverb helps.
Usually we think we sound better in our heads while we're singing vs a recording. It's like a recording has less color and bass in it.
Thanks Chris. I rarely hate my singing voice before I watch this video. Hope you alright in the quarantine
❤️🙏🏼
this is actually my goal for this year, I've always hated my clean voice, which I actually know isn't that bad... so this is awesome timing, to help push me past the mental block of "my voice sucks"
i can get access to a really wide range of 'sounds' in terms of clean to gritty timbres, i have periods of hating my voice but then being able to enjoy it other times haha
Very cool Chris! Love this positive message for singers! At 2:22, noticed you lean to the same side when pushing on "Freedom"... I noticed I do this too (subconsciously!) Have you ever thought about why we lean a certain way? I've not put much thought into the WHY yet, just noticed/conscious of it myself... thoughts? THANKS for your content, you ROCK and appreciate you 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Cool observation!! I’ll give it some thought, too. :)
Thanks man.. I've been composing some music and been struggling to like my own voice.. Ex; I record singing in one artist way one song and other song in another artist way .. So an original album would have many "different vocalists" ahah.. I'll play this game often! Thanks a lot🙏🏻😁
This is awesome. I have a very clean and girly voice (Kind of like Sarah Mclachlan's voice)
But ever since I was a teenager what I wanted was to sing powerful rock songs. More I tried more I felt useless because I couldn't achieve that rock grit/rasp. It was always so clear. I got fed up and decided to take a break from singing. I still can't get that grittiness. But I have finally started embracing my voice. I sang songs within my range and ones that suit my voice. I have more confidence now and I'm working to improve the voice I already have instead of focusing on getting a higher range. In the process I was able to expand my range by 2 notes, which is a big deal for me. I came across your wonderful channel. Now I am taking it slow (didn't discard my dream of achieving that grit yet!). I am still unable to do it exactly the way I want but I know it will take time now and I am willing to put in the work.
What I like about my voice- the vibrato and the emotion I put in to it.
can I listen to this song anywhere?
No. Made just for the video :)
A problem I'm facing is the times I like how I sound, it's when it's not my natural voice. I can tell cuz I remember the strain or that it wasn't particularly comfortable :(. I have to actively try to not try to sound like other artists but it's hard when I don't like the tone of my brassy voice
I certainly understand that!! It’s so important to learn to love your voice. Discovering (and unleashing) your own voice is what my 12-week course Discover Your Voice is all about!
@@chrisliepe is that the free course??
I'm really nasally in my speaking voice so my higher register sounds better than my low and mid. I have better enunciation as well.
Where are you from? US? I really like listening to you voice/accent as not-English person ;)
Btw my voice sounds like a trash but I still love singing, sorry neighbours 😅
Colorado! 😊🏔
i like my voice when i come down from a higher held note but hate when it breaks when i do a high from a low sometimes.
I like my smooth transitioning between different voice registers and my vocal fry grit in my mix
I thought for sure this was gonna be an ad for RAID: Shadow Legends.
Also, it's not my voice, it's the mic/cable/interface/PC/power outlet. I sing like a songbird.
It's a useful "game", thank you! Personally I like two things, one is my technique, at this point I have total control of dynamics, raspiness, mix, etc. and I love that, it equals freedom to me. However, the other thing I like is also what some days I totally hate, which is my timbre. It's kinda warm, but "feminine" at the same time. I sound like nobody else (which is good but also bad, because people tend to like familiar voices), and sometimes I appreciate it, but other times I wish I had a deep voice to sing like folk singer-songwriter stuff and I'd be happy with it. It's a continuous battle, but I'll try to record my songs in a way I can accentuate the good parts of my voice instead of trying to desperately change what I don't like. So thank you so much for these tips!
Hi
Do you put effects or equalize your mic to sound nice or your mic is nice ?
A video on how to sing like Roy khan would be nice.
I like the strength of my voice when I manage to control well my diaphragm. I like my wide range. I don't like my vibratto. When I record myself, my voice is a funny continuous vibratto because I get so nervous that even my breath shakes...
So this is what happened with the guy from New Radicals, Great he is helping other people to sing now :D
:D
Hey, Chris! So here I am haha. Trying to learn how to love my voice so that one day I can do it professionally. I think that it has always held me back, not liking my voice. It’s like if I think I’m not getting better I sort of just lose hope and become really like depressed about it. I’ve watched almost every TH-cam video out there to learn to love my voice but, after every recording I just can’t find a place for me to like it. I remember people telling me that I sing good but I would always respond with “but I wanna be better”. I know it sounds cheesy but it’s true. Do you think you can help me with this problem. All I want to do is develop a singing voice that I feel comfortable with improving and don’t tear up about.
The voice I hear in my head as I sing sounds good, but when I listen to it on recording, I am not a fan. But to go with the theme of the video, I think it's my aggressive singing has some flashes of coolness. Some high, compression-based gritty notes come across better than my clean singing. I've also focused a bit lately on fry-screaming as well, since that doesn't turn out too bad for me. One last thing, I recorded myself singing a parody song I wrote, and after adding some grit at the beginning of the phrase, I cleaned it up and had a nice vibrato on a held note at the end of the phrase, which was completely on accident, but it gave me some hope that maybe if I learn more from you or others like you, I can improve and do things like that more intentionally going forward.
Right on!! Thanks for sharing here, Jake. You’d appreciate this video, too: th-cam.com/video/fKVOK7Nimtw/w-d-xo.html Also, have you checked out my free vocal course yet? It’s linked here in the description of this video.
That’s because you can’t ever hear what other people hear. You hear your jawbone vibrating and it’s closer to your ears than other people. The best singers trust the feeling in their bodies, not their ears. I get really frustrated with my recorded sound versus my experience of the gig.
But if I’m in my body, and no longer listening so hard, I get better.
thanks!!!! on another note, can you make a video how to sing like marilyn manson?
I actually prefer my singing voice over my talking voice by far. I hate my talking voice.
What I don't like and like at the same time about my singing voice is that it is quite soft and I'd like to be more of a rock singer in my band and be able to sing more aggressive. But for singer-songwriter stuff that I do on my own it suits it rather well, i think. Other than that I just need to get better at singing in general :). Maybe with the help of good content like yours I can improve. Thank you. Your voice sounds amazing, by the way
What if i love my voice but everybody around me hates it? What then boss
stop to listening to everyone around you. they are idiots. be yourself, be confident and introspective. nothing and no one else matters.
@@chrisliepe damn man you replied, i understand i don't really care about them thh started music 13 months back zero music background of family or friends . Learnt alot from you hope i could talk with you in future. Love from delhi,india. ❤️
If John Lennon listened to those who probably told him that his voice was nasal and hence should not sing back when he was younger, we would not have the John Lennon we know and love, mate.
U have to sing louder
@@heinrich5758 i sing too loud already
this is just feedback (because you’re entire channel is a gold mine!!❤️) I don’t really care for that long intro
One of the things i enjoy about my voice is the deep resonance it has, it allows me to be really deep and warm in my lower/medium registers kinda like phil Anselmo, corey from slipknot, peter steele (yes lol im a big guy with a thick neck too),also good on old baritone singing like sinatra, tony benett, johnny cash, i love that old crooner stuff, this also allows me to go really heavy on the screaming part as well, like sepultura and gojira, that bassy quality is one of the things i enjoy most about my voice, good for a laugh too when im imitating those american action movie trailers lol, you know they always have that rough low tone voice over sayin "they killed his kitten and now he wants revenge" or something like that lol
wholesome
Thank you Liepe... Can anyone check my few covers and help tell me what is good, if anything, that I am doing or not ?
First... YOU say what you like about them :) (part of the game)
@@chrisliepe
et voilà Monsieur !
I truly respect your ability to manifest via spoken language a understanding of metaphysical vocal phenomena between a singers mind and body.
truly.
every single time I record to check how it sounds, I end up deleting because how awful I "think" it sounds. even though this complements very well the other video about how to at least try not to be ashamed of my own voice, actually doing it is kind of hard. following your advice, I should start listening to my voice as an experience and not as something that must be perfect "or else is not good"
YES YES
Really good idea, thanks!
Seems to me that i caaan like my voice (or, actually i have to say that i'm doing it well enough) when i'm singing errr.. with positioning my voice inner-back of a head/neck. It's closer to chest-voice. But in fact i'd like to sign more confident in head-voice - it's unstable and trembling badly. Not always but it happens. Also, i guess my compressed singing/screaming isn't that bad, or even good (kinda "Arrrrrrrrre youu ready?! .. this place inside my mind, a place i like to hiiide.. blah-blah-blah"). BUT. Sometimes i'm not going to became a cookie monster and not singing fine with compression at the same time - i''m making only some scratchy noise. That's weird
Thanks for reaching out here! Have you checked out my free vocal course yet? I think you’d appreciate it a ton. It’s linked in the description of this video. :)
@@chrisliepe , yeah, sure! Also I've been thinking about purchasing your another courses, but because of all this situation around the world with economic and all the stuff, I decided to wait for some time and observe. BTW I really hope that you'll not gonna stop supporting this platform. Your content is great and I'd really like to learn with it. Not now, maybe not really soon, but it's one of points in my wishlist)
Thanks a lot again, and I guess that this troubles or issues can be solved just by practicing
I hate my voice on record. And I'm not even singing, just talking
work towards getting over that by picking out things you like... you'll find something!
@@davidpearson6346 it also because of my pronunciation. In russian language we have strong R, but I can spell it in 30% of words, at rest of words my R sounds like french R. So it's my opinion that I sound defective. But girls say that they like my R. Google thanslator says it calls "burr".
i like the distortion i can get even if my family hate it lol
I actually quite like my voice. I'm proud of it
Chris! I´m trying to watch your free Voice Lesson, but I just find the "7 highly effective..." course! Don´t know if I´m doing sth wrong, but can´t find it! :(
I´m deeply grateful with you, what you are and share! Thanks! :)
oh! Just follow the link in the video info below this or any other video and you'll sign up for the FREE YOUR VOICE course. Then check your email for the information on how to access it!
@@chrisliepe Thanks Chris for answering, I´ve already done that! Think I did it twice, but no mail incomes! Already checked the spam folder!
I suscribed last year, can be that the reason? If so, still can´t access the course!
Hey, Chris! I am very comfortable singing in different "Character" voices, but when I switch from character to character, it sounds like there are multiple people singing it. I mean, I LOVE the contrast, but I feel like this is kind of jarring to the listener.
What should I do to BLEND these guys together a bit more? Thanks for your time and guidance!
Listen to guys like Gerard Way or Freddie Mercury... They seamlessly blend different versions of their musical self together! Also, work on blending characters over a single phrase!
I'm defiantly gonna do that! Seriously appreciate your service!
Hallo Chris, thank you for this video. As I have seen a tittle "stop hating your voice" i went right to watch it!!! Becouse it is exactly my problem 😓 I started to feel it after some friend did wierd comment on my singing i was sending them. At first, i did so much work in it and everything, enjoying it, feeling good, than listened to it. I felt so proud of my self. Started sending it to my friends, posting it on my fb. Thinkink people will like it. But i got horrified. Recieving comment of Friends telling me "You sound like a cat beeing tortured, hahaha", "please delete this video, you didnt sing single word correct!, "You shall not be singing this song becouse your voice is not cappable of this", "stop doing this becouse you are not good, why not have different hobby friend?" Just very few friends gives a courage and says thay like it. Others just hate it I realize. And I so much need to hear I am good. I started hating my voice so much! I just dont get it why its so hard to impress someone? So I must be realy terrible even I do excercises. (I am learning male singing also female voice singing, becouse I like it, and its realy not eazy 😟 even I think sometims I am good, uh)
I worked out how to scream years ago using extreme compression in a manner that sounds like phil bozeman from whitechapel - wondering if you've ever tried that style of screaming Chris? Sorry if you've already done a video on that style of screaming that I've missed
I don't hate my voice :D I kinda like my low register when I produce the whole dark "manly" voice :D
Hey Chris! What would you suggest I do if every time I practice (given I follow your advice), I feel pain or soreness in my throat and neck after? I think I get the techniques down, is there something else I'm missing out? Thanks.
Here’s video I think will help! th-cam.com/video/Eug6kqouo7o/w-d-xo.html
Stop!
Pain is a bad sign
Everyone says I have beautiful timbre, but I don’t like my voice at all. On the high notes my timbre change and I don’t like it. Second thing - I am in tune but not every note is correct - how to fix this?
Proper support and placement are key!! I go into this a bit in my free vocal course - have you checked it out yet? It’s linked here in the description of this video. :)
Well i like my voice, but i don't like when i lack techniques and practice and it cracks or it doesn't hit the high notes even if i know i can reach it !
In a second thought, i don't like being able to reach high notes with volume, and it loses texture, it just looks like a screaming but no more beauty.
Chris stop reading our minds,you're freaking us out!!!
Haha! :)
Hey chris! Why when i try to sing high notes my throat hurts? And how to stop it?
Lots to unpack there! :) Not a simple answer. Have you joined my free voice course yet?
Also check out my TH-cam video: Trick Yourself Into Singing Higher :)
Thank you!!
Everyone will understand what you’re talking about more ...if they take your courses Chris
I’m in week six Thanks Chris
I like my Mixed voice and some Hi scream 😱😅 I hate my voice sounds thin tho...
You're right! and nice :) Week 6 is fun!
what is the name of the song at min 2:30?? it sounds really good
Just a short improv I did over a random backing track especially for the lesson. Not a real song :)
