Same! My tone and accent always changes depending on who I speak to. I don't know what my real voice is. I don't speak up in meetings because I'm so anxious about how my voice will sound and that people will notice it changes.
During most of the day, my voice is confident and goes high and low (just as in normal conversations, when you highen or lower your pitch for entonation), but at afternoon and night, specially, my voice sounds soft, high pitched and even childish, when I try to lower my pitch or just not speak loud, it just doesn't sound (sometimes it fries, sometimes it literally doesn't sound anything).
Actually, it’s way better to sound super different from your speaking voice! Mainly because when you’re about to sing it’ll give people a huge surprise because they won’t expect it! Great example of someone who sounds very different from their singing voice: Freddie Mercury
I feel in never speak in my own pitch. In fact I feel that I don't really know my own voice. it's always too high or to low 😩 My speech therapist said I speak in falsetto in both (high or low pitch)
Hi Bruna Christine, That must be very frustrating. Thanks for sharing. Have you worked with your speech therapist on finding your chest voice? How about when you sing, do you only sing in head voice as well?
@@singgeek I need help.. I am having a hard time for breath support and once I push my larynx up my voice block plus also have control and pitch issue.. what should I do.
I was speaking a whole octave lower than my natural pitch (f3)! This almost always happens when I'm teaching guitar, especially to younger students who require more instruction. Voice ends up fried, gets better over the weekend. Never had any issue talking all day when I was working as a barman, then hanging out with friends until the early morning. So I really think that I go into this unnaturally deep voice whenever I feel like I have to seem more professional. Thank you so much for helping me realise this!
I do the opposite- talk about an octave higher than my normal voice, because girls get made fun of for having a low voice. People used to call me a dude, call me "sir" etc. I actually didn't mind "sir" lol. At least it's respectful. Anyway, I'm older now and don't give a crap what people think, so I think I'll try out my natural, deep voice.
I usually speak in a high and soft spoken voice but my natural voice is lower and deeper. I've been wanting to fix how I speak so im gonna give this a shot and ill be back to tell you folks how it went
Your probably doing it wrong...Lower to sound husky ? Bedroom voice? Or amsr... or you mean louder and more in control? I sound like a kid but i can project my voice if i need to like for a presentation. Its hard to explain its like trying to speak from your belly and i "open" my throat. Maybe your throat tenses up
@@omoriidrip project your voice louder. Ok so find your diaphram.it sits under your lungs. You feel it pull your ribcage outward when you take a deep breath. Take a deep and try to maintain that expanded ribcage feeling (also tighten your gut may help). Pick a word and practice with this feeling. Do it with confidence! If you hold back your voice will sound weak. Practice how you breathe and keep your ribcage expanded. If you start running out of air you voice will trail away. Now pick a sentence and practice. Pay attention to where you feel your voice and adjust until it sounds loud but not screaming, it should not hurt. Also stand straight and your face forward not down. Practice !
Your being so authentic, warm, and spontaneous as you share REALLY helps me! I think my best speaking voice happens when I forget myself and I'm unselfconsciously engaged and connected. I'm an aspiring voice actor. Unfortunately over the years anxiety has contributed to unhealthy vocal habits and dysphonia. So while my challenge is to practice and become attuned to healthy vocal techniques and sensations across a range of emotions and emotive interactions, until they become habitual; my greater challenge is to let go and embrace (at the conscious level, I seem better when I'm unselfconscious) a new more authentic expressive range, and therefore personal identity. This is the big issue the challenge of letting go and embracing this "new natural" authentic personal identity -- Do you have any videos on this? That's why I soooo appreciated your example of authentic, warm, and connected sharing!! It reminds me, by showing me what I should be reaching for.. And yes I have now subscribed. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 💕
Thanks for this! It confirms what I had suspected a long time. I'm really struggling with my voice. When I was a teenager (14-15 years old) I realised how irritatingly high and childish my voice was (I heard it on the tape and was absolutely mortified) Since then I've tried to lower my voice and now it's the only way I can speak. However it is completely destroying my voice - I cannot sing at all anymore and after speaking a bit more (like 30 minutes), even my speaking voice gets raspy and starts to vanish. It's a problem not only with my friends but also since my studies require quite a lot of talking. I study several foreign languages. When I get excited, surprised or irritated my voice rises like an octave. My family says that's about my natural voice I should speak with but I am not able to speak like that - it takes so much effort and feels weird. This saddens me and I'm afraid I can never sing again. I'm not trying to be a singer but I wish I could find and use my singing voice again - just for me, for fun - I used to sing a lot and I loved it. Also it would be nice to talk freely without damaging the voice. I don't know what to do...should I find a vocal coach or is it too late to fix this - or is the damage permanent already? I'm 26 now. If someone read all that - thank you. If you have any thoughts or tips, I'd appreciate a comment a lot!
i identify myself a lot, i am a boy and i developed the habit to talk much higher and airy than my natural voice is, probably because i wanna sound kind and adorable. i cant read a text without being breathless and tired... is very nice know that have people with the same problem that i
I just found this out at 29 because I started seeing a vocal coach for a new job. It is not too late but you will definitely need a professional to work one on one with you and show you when you are using the wrong muscles or adding tension on your voice. It also takes a ton of practice to feel comfortable using your "new" voice, because while it has no strain it also requires more volume and can be hard to accept if you still have self conscious feelings about having a high voice. I wish you the best of luck and don't lose hope on the idea of enjoying your voice and singing along to life.
Wow! I’ve been through significant medical traumas over the past three years and have PTSD and other consequences as a result. I’d noticed my speaking voice was dropping lower and lower, without really understanding why. My natural speaking voice according to this exercise is 6 whole tones higher. Thank you! I’m going to play around with this.
Omg this video made me cry, I realize for the first time in 26 years that I have been talking with a much lower pitch than I intentionally would and my natural voice actually sounds quite good. Thank you so much.
Not only did I find my natural speaking pitch, you helped me find my inner voice and confidence that I subconsciously hid behind a low, hesitant voice. You're an angel! Thank you
All I would like to say is THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!! I actually found out how I used to lower my pitch while talking than my actual pitch because of which ppl used to tease me a lot...I used to involuntarily lower it (p.s - I'm a girl) But it's been a day and I'm following this exercise I really found my real pitch i mean it's not deep and i am glad it is not!! I have been trying to maintain this pitch throughout my normal convos!! i mean i can really see a difference between my previous voice and the maintained pitch voice!! I'll keep updating as i keep improving!! Thank you so muchhh TT ❤ update: its 2 yrs now and guess what 2 years back i was so insecure abt my voice that i couldnt even send voice recordings but these days i do get complimented for my voice and i am so glad of finally getting over the insecurity about my pitch!! thank you so much!!
@@Nails_bruh yaa I'm so sorry for not updating!! It helped a lot!! I actually recognised that my voice isn't rough and is actually soft it's just that when I was with my friends the tone i used to speak in became so regular that I adapted to it. But now when I continue this practice I do feel a slight change in my voice and the softness in it. Hope it helps 💜
Totally agree with what you're saying. I'm a basso profundo and it's quite draining on the chords trying to speak in that low voice for 14 hours a day. I used to like it but it's not economical! I've trained myself through the last few months to find my natural spoken pitch and it's changed my narration, storytelling, and just everyday communication! It's gone from inaudible and monotonous to melodic and full of energy. Thanks for the content. Looking forward to more!
I'm a 5'8'' woman who is fairly non-feminine, am constantly tired, and I'm pretty sensitive to high pitched noises so I always speak lower than my normal pitch, I just never really thought about it until I heard recordings of my own voice and it sounded a lot different than what I'm used to. I'm always losing my voice despite talking in a quiet tone. This has made me realize I really just need to embrace my higher pitched voice. It's just so weird, I always thought of myself as an alto since I'm tall and I've got rbf and a very laid back personality, yet I have the voice of a bubbly young teenager. For reference, my natural humming tone was about 2 full steps higher than the humming in the video coming from a mezo soprano.
Aww thanks so much for writing this to let me know. My goal is to help and it is so nice to hear about your improvements! Keep up the good work on your singing :)
I'm a skinny guy with a shockingly deep voice. People have commented how they didn't expect it from me. Low E, Bass 2. All that. I always think people can hear me if I speak clearly, and also I've been afraid to scare kids since I've worked at a store lately, I like making people feel comfortable with me since I'm a listener, not a speaker. I wan to make permanent changes in my habit and give myself permissions to project properly. I've also had moments where my throat hurts because it can vibrate really harshly. This was very enlightening for that self permission. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.
I appreciate everything you are saying. My natural voice is around the D below middle C. I talk probably a full octave above that and it's exhausting and I always have a sore throat. I am a woman but if I talk in my natural voice I straight up sound like a man. I think I need to get over this and just let people be freaked out by my deep voice.
I have always talked way lower when talking and my voice is already quite high. My voice already sounds sweet and velvety but holy cow now it's way higher than I'm even emotionally comfortable with. It's not bad, but it's just really weird and it's tripping me out 😅
I’m an 18 year old boy and my voice is wretched. When I’m naturally speaking without trying to change it, my voice is very high pitch and raspy. I can’t talk loudly or else my voice will get even higher pitch or even raspier. I am able to speak in a deep voice loudly but it sounds unnatural to others and they don’t think it’s me. I thought my voice would be better now since puberty has hit but it’s only gotten worse. I don’t strain my voice either. I just want to have a normal voice that can be assertive, clear, and not so annoying.
I naturally don't care about everything when i watch videos in yt. Normally i subscrib because i like the content but i dont click the bell button because its just a mess for my notif. But i click the bell and "all" for you❤✨
I'm a male, and I just realized I actually have a much more gender-neutral voice and that I've been speaking far lower than my natural pitch. I spend a lot of time on conference calls at my job and this has greatly helped. I'm beginning my 'new' voice now!
Hi Ronja, another great video! You mentioned what you had for breakfast; could you please make a video of what foods and beverages are to be avoided and those that benefit the voice? Oh and since you mention eggs, how many do you consume a week? As you know there are many different opinions about them. Thank you.
Hi OpticRacer21, Thanks :) That's a great idea. I'm working on a few other videos right now but afterwards I will make one about foods and singing. I have already made a video about the kind of drinks to avoid when singing. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/xRcOS0nUKPo/w-d-xo.html As for eggs, I do love eating an egg for breakfast. I've been following the dispute over good vs bad for a while. From a singing standpoint, my understanding is that since it is a "wet" protein it is considered a somewhat good source of protein in terms of hydration, however, I think the debate on eggs and cholesterol is more important. The latest research I heard on the news is that we should eat eggs in moderation because of the cholesterol in the yolk. Is this a debate you have been following?
I'm a guy but my natural speaking pitch is higher, so I've been practising speaking lower. It took some time, but it worked to some extent, as in I feel comfortable and it sounds natural.
im not a singer but im pretty sure i strain my voice constantly by speaking in a lower pitch majority of the time and it causes many issues but i dont know how to fix it :( i feel like my natural voice would be much higher but i just cant start speaking in a completely different voice out of a sudden
I have two different voices. One is my inner high pitch voice, which before I was afraid to sing or speak off, and another, that is a normal mixture of voices which is a bit high too.... The main thing is that Idk what to sing with, when it comes to normal flow of notes....
Hi Shinjini, It makes me so happy to hear that you find the videos useful :) Thanks for taking the time to write me and I wish you all the best on your singing journey!
Hi blueshoter 234, Thanks for your question :) First off, it is awesome that you have started to learn how to sing! As a start, I recommend that you focus on getting your voice resonant and connected to your breath support. This makes your voice agile and allows you to create the sounds you want. Here are two videos to start off with. This focuses on getting your sounds out of your body (resonant): th-cam.com/video/0yKMbRiOwsw/w-d-xo.html This connects your voice with your air (Breath support): th-cam.com/video/fwNPp-RS4IY/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps. I wish you happy singing :)
Hello, you can do a tutorial on how to project the voice to sing and what is the proper posture of the mouth, tongue, soft palate, larynx to get better projection
Before I find my speaking pitch (often before a long unwanted conversation with a friend), with an arrogant wave of my hand to get them to shut up so I can speak, I exhale a few robust meemeemeemee’s cheerfully and loudly
Thank you of speaking at lower register I don’t know why if it was me trying to be are you some kind of defense mechanism but thank you this is very helpful!
I'm still not sure about my "natural" pitch... :D All I know is, I used to have a tendency to speak with poor support and a lot of tension, and never really managed to sort that out - until I started looking into bel canto just a few months ago. Relearning everything from scratch, and it's a complete transformation, with results I could never have imagined. Everyone should learn proper vocal technique! \o/
I'm a 17 year old boy. I'm having a vocal difficulty since the last 4 months. I noticed that I always speak in a very low pitch. I used to sing but now I can't because now my voice isn’t as normal as it should be. I can't speak in my chest voice. So I decided to stop speaking for a week to rest my voice. And then I will try the exercises given by you. Please let me know if it’s alright and suggest me of what I should do.
Wow... my singing teacher told me this too. I speak around a G2 but I should be speaking around a A3 as I’m a high tenor. It really throws people off when I sing around them LOL.
I felt it in my throat when I spoke too low. I also talk louder when I'm excited. Hey, I was the youngest of eight. I needed to be heard! LOL. But I'm working on not tiring out my voice with loud speaking.
I tend to speak in a lower pitch lowering my larynx because people say my voice is unnaturally high for a guy but when I'm comfortable and not so self aware I speak in my normal voice
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you. Actually I've noticed that in the morning and at night my voice drop to my fry register. I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but I do feel it seems easier and less effort to speak like that during those time. (During daytime, my voice will raise back to higher pitch, and I feel throat hurting easily) ....really confused of my own voice.
Most people say they have low pitched speaking and high pitched singing, but my case is the very opposite. My speaking voice is nasal, a bit high, soft and lacks volume, but when I sing, I can't reach high pitches and I'm pretty comfortable in baritone range.
Very Helpful thank you. I do talk lower than my normal tone, apparently. And more so, after speaking English 90% of my day as I have moved to an English speaking country a decade ago. I subscribed and have one suggestion\question: Does speaking in a different language from your mother tongue, change the tone unnaturally? And How to fix? (I suppose the fix maybe similar to this video but that maybe a good one :)
Why do you want to change your pitch?just out of curiosity. I understand where your coming from I'm an Alto and my voice is somewhat lower than normal.
@@stingraykitten1796 They might be a girl and a lot of people consider higher pitched voices more ladylike although I usually talk in the 4th to 5th octave and people just say I sound like a child-
Any speaking out of your normal pitch will probably damage your vocal chords, since you stressing them out more than if you just stuck with what your body was comfortable with
I always speak higher because I’m constantly nervous when talking to people. I just recently heard my voice in a recording and I asked my husband how he puts up with that lol
My natural pitch for humming seems to be a B note but I question whether it depends completely on anatomy as that note also happens to be the first note ascending the chromatic scale whose Shepard tone sounds lower than the pitch that they form a tritone with, (meanwhile making the B flat Shepard tone the last one in the ascending chromatic sequence to sound like the higher pitch in its own tritone pair) and studies seem to implicate perception of the tritone paradox to depend on what language/accent/dialect one grew up hearing meaning different languages/accents/dialects have different natural pitches. (The fact that it’s a B pitch is actually very strange as I was brought up in Southern California where the perception of the Shepard tones in the tritone paradox is the complete opposite; it means that I somehow took after my dad’s British side of the family instead since Southern Brits perceive the Shepard tones that way)
Ever since I was a kid I would speak higher than my actual pitch, and overall change my voice to make it way higher than it actually is. that passed on to my teen years and now I’m struggling to find what my voice actually sounds like, because when I do speak naturally it sounds very strange and hoarse. I want to start speaking in my normal tone but my parents have always heard me speak with the fake pitch, so I’m not sure exactly what to do about it.
5:52 Is there a relation btw shy and higher pitch? It's exactly my problem, My speaking voice is higher than what I should use and then I subconsciously clamp my larynx to match to my singing with fake speaking voice.
my voice was always tired quickly when i talked for like 30 mins cause i was talking too low?? maybe? and at like an A#2 but like i started talking higher at like F#3 and i think that hurt my voice more quicker. So bruhh
What’s weird is that my first language is English and I learned German when I was 8. The weird part is that when I speak German my voice is dramatically lower than when I speak English. I don’t know what to do because I live in Germany and have to speak it all the time.
i have to be really careful around people with accents because i really pick it up easily...i get worried that i suddenly have their accent mid conversation and they would think i was mocking them...but it's like LSS for me.
I’m trying to figure it out without really singing anymore. I am trying acting and notice my voice has changed and sounds strained. Thanks for the help
My voice while speaking sounds very low, but when i'm singing sounds high, but without power, sometimes it seems like two different voices

I'm a skinny guy with a shockingly deep voice. People have commented how they didn't expect it from me. Low E, Bass 2. All that. I always think people can hear me if I speak clearly, and also I've been afraid to scare kids since I've worked at a store lately, I like making people feel comfortable with me since I'm a listener, not a speaker. I wan to make permanent changes in my habit and give myself permissions to project properly. I've also had moments where my throat hurts because it can vibrate really harshly. This was very enlightening for that self permission. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.
I appreciate everything you are saying. My natural voice is around the D below middle C. I talk probably a full octave above that and it's exhausting and I always have a sore throat. I am a woman but if I talk in my natural voice I straight up sound like a man. I think I need to get over this and just let people be freaked out by my deep voice.
TheWeeknd has such a soft - beautiful voice 💪🏿
True he’s voice is so soft with his songs, his one of my top fav r&b artist
It is really different than I used to speak. Actually I find out I was speaking too high😅 thank you for this video. It is very helpful 🙏
Situational Awareness is such a good tip. I always plan what I’m gonna say bc I’m shy but never HOW
My voice pinch change with every languages I speak😭😭😭
Same sis
@@bijoymatubbor4380 atleast you speak every language lucky 😣
Probably gonna go away with enough practice. I think I used to have the same problem.
GOSH same, spanish is at my highest pitch for some reason
In Spanish I get higher
i found this so helpful i am very awkward when speaking and my pitch goes all over the place
Wow! The hum trick for finding my natural speaking pitch was very revealing!❤
I have always talked way lower when talking and my voice is already quite high. My voice already sounds sweet and velvety but holy cow now it's way higher than I'm even emotionally comfortable with. It's not bad, but it's just really weird and it's tripping me out 😅
Thanks! This was helpful. The note I naturally hummed feels great and put me in a very comfortable range.
Thanks to this video, which I didn't intend to watch at all, I now know that I've been speaking from my throat my whole life 🤠😭
Wait for it, it gonna be a very successful channel, Love the vibes and the genuine smile.
Thank you so much for sharing all this useful information. Priceless!
Hi JCC C, You are so welcome. I'm really happy to hear that you like it :) Thanks for watching!
I’m an 18 year old boy and my voice is wretched. When I’m naturally speaking without trying to change it, my voice is very high pitch and raspy. I can’t talk loudly or else my voice will get even higher pitch or even raspier. I am able to speak in a deep voice loudly but it sounds unnatural to others and they don’t think it’s me. I thought my voice would be better now since puberty has hit but it’s only gotten worse. I don’t strain my voice either. I just want to have a normal voice that can be assertive, clear, and not so annoying.
This girl teaches me to sing and speak better
I naturally don't care about everything when i watch videos in yt. Normally i subscrib because i like the content but i dont click the bell button because its just a mess for my notif. But i click the bell and "all" for you❤✨
I am actually pleasantly surprised with how my actual, natural voice sounds.
I also found out that I'm a low baritone.
I thank God for you.. 😇.. God bless you more and more
Thank you Rebecca Pererira :) And thank you for watching. I wish all the best for your singing!
I'm a male, and I just realized I actually have a much more gender-neutral voice and that I've been speaking far lower than my natural pitch. I spend a lot of time on conference calls at my job and this has greatly helped. I'm beginning my 'new' voice now!
ive never thought about if i was using my natural speaking voice, hopefully this helps i find talking to be draining noticeably when i talk lower
wooooooow, great to have you back. you still look the same as you looked years ago :-)
Hi Hemant Sharma, Thank you you are so sweet :) It's great to be back!
Singgeek would love to videos more often. Please do post. You still taking voice lessons. How to contact you to get more details.
Another awesome video Ronja! Thank you for the great tips ❤️
So happy you liked it Isold :) I am so happy to see that you keep coming back and watching. Thank you!
Thank you so so much for this video! It is a game changer!
Hi Ronja, another great video!
You mentioned what you had for breakfast; could you please make a video of what foods and beverages are to be avoided and those that benefit the voice?
Oh and since you mention eggs, how many do you consume a week?
As you know there are many different opinions about them.
Thank you.
Hi OpticRacer21, Thanks :) That's a great idea. I'm working on a few other videos right now but afterwards I will make one about foods and singing. I have already made a video about the kind of drinks to avoid when singing. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/xRcOS0nUKPo/w-d-xo.html
As for eggs, I do love eating an egg for breakfast. I've been following the dispute over good vs bad for a while. From a singing standpoint, my understanding is that since it is a "wet" protein it is considered a somewhat good source of protein in terms of hydration, however, I think the debate on eggs and cholesterol is more important. The latest research I heard on the news is that we should eat eggs in moderation because of the cholesterol in the yolk. Is this a debate you have been following?
Superb exercise to know the natural speaking voice! Loved it! Thank you Ronja.
I'm an Alto my voice never gets tired.
Am I missing something
I'm a guy but my natural speaking pitch is higher, so I've been practising speaking lower. It took some time, but it worked to some extent, as in I feel comfortable and it sounds natural.
I do that at the lower pitch….that was helpful…I accept the challenge!
im not a singer but im pretty sure i strain my voice constantly by speaking in a lower pitch majority of the time and it causes many issues but i dont know how to fix it :( i feel like my natural voice would be much higher but i just cant start speaking in a completely different voice out of a sudden
Thanks Ronja!!!for come back again
You are so welcome! I love making the videos for you :)
my voice is low pitched when i speak my native language and it's high pitched when i speak English (i literally sound 5)
I have two different voices. One is my inner high pitch voice, which before I was afraid to sing or speak off, and another, that is a normal mixture of voices which is a bit high too.... The main thing is that Idk what to sing with, when it comes to normal flow of notes....
Found out your videos today.
I can't explain just how much this helps me. Love you 😘
Thanks a lot!!
Hi Shinjini, It makes me so happy to hear that you find the videos useful :) Thanks for taking the time to write me and I wish you all the best on your singing journey!
@@singgeek
Thanks a lot. I'm 13 and on my singing journey. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Love from India
Do you do private singing lessons? I would totally sign up, I'm a HUGE fan of your videos!!
im just starting to learn how to sing can you tell me some tips for begginers☺☺
Hi blueshoter 234, Thanks for your question :) First off, it is awesome that you have started to learn how to sing! As a start, I recommend that you focus on getting your voice resonant and connected to your breath support. This makes your voice agile and allows you to create the sounds you want. Here are two videos to start off with.
This focuses on getting your sounds out of your body (resonant): th-cam.com/video/0yKMbRiOwsw/w-d-xo.html
This connects your voice with your air (Breath support): th-cam.com/video/fwNPp-RS4IY/w-d-xo.html
I hope this helps. I wish you happy singing :)
@@singgeek Thank You So Much For The Tips😊😊😊
Hello, you can do a tutorial on how to project the voice to sing and what is the proper posture of the mouth, tongue, soft palate, larynx to get better projection
Before I find my speaking pitch (often before a long unwanted conversation with a friend), with an arrogant wave of my hand to get them to shut up so I can speak, I exhale a few robust meemeemeemee’s cheerfully and loudly
Thank you so much you made my voicing carrier better
Thank you of speaking at lower register I don’t know why if it was me trying to be are you some kind of defense mechanism but thank you this is very helpful!
I'm still not sure about my "natural" pitch... :D All I know is, I used to have a tendency to speak with poor support and a lot of tension, and never really managed to sort that out - until I started looking into bel canto just a few months ago. Relearning everything from scratch, and it's a complete transformation, with results I could never have imagined. Everyone should learn proper vocal technique! \o/
You're awesome! thanks for all the vids and tips! highly appreciated
Your videos are sooooooooo helpful in so many ways
.
Thank You !!!
Hello, is there an e-mail we can contact you on if we have any questions?
I'm a 17 year old boy. I'm having a vocal difficulty since the last 4 months. I noticed that I always speak in a very low pitch. I used to sing but now I can't because now my voice isn’t as normal as it should be. I can't speak in my chest voice. So I decided to stop speaking for a week to rest my voice. And then I will try the exercises given by you.
Please let me know if it’s alright and suggest me of what I should do.
I think you're most likely going through puberty :/ so your voice might change pretty dramatically right now
yeah. im 24 but still going thru puberty, and it's a bitch to sing. just recently got it to stop cracking. just relax and wait and stay in your range
I talk different an I sing different an always have problems with pitch but I know this practice will help me thanks as I give it a try.
Thank you for the help
Wow... my singing teacher told me this too. I speak around a G2 but I should be speaking around a A3 as I’m a high tenor. It really throws people off when I sing around them LOL.
I felt it in my throat when I spoke too low. I also talk louder when I'm excited. Hey, I was the youngest of eight. I needed to be heard! LOL. But I'm working on not tiring out my voice with loud speaking.
I tend to speak in a lower pitch lowering my larynx because people say my voice is unnaturally high for a guy but when I'm comfortable and not so self aware I speak in my normal voice
That’s a fantastic insight, thank you
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you. Actually I've noticed that in the morning and at night my voice drop to my fry register. I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but I do feel it seems easier and less effort to speak like that during those time. (During daytime, my voice will raise back to higher pitch, and I feel throat hurting easily) ....really confused of my own voice.
This helped me so much thank you!!!
This is really helpful.
I love this so much
this series is interesting, might watch some of your other videos
Most people say they have low pitched speaking and high pitched singing, but my case is the very opposite. My speaking voice is nasal, a bit high, soft and lacks volume, but when I sing, I can't reach high pitches and I'm pretty comfortable in baritone range.
Helped so much thank you
My voice always hurts :(. I think I have Chronic Laryngitis. I’ll never be able to sing... it’s okay tho.
Same😲🤧
I'm even a bit afraid when it comes to listen my records.. Just looking forward to know and hear my actual voice...🤞🏻✌🏻
Very Helpful thank you.
I do talk lower than my normal tone, apparently.
And more so, after speaking English 90% of my day as I have moved to an English speaking country a decade ago.
I subscribed and have one suggestion\question: Does speaking in a different language from your mother tongue, change the tone unnaturally? And How to fix? (I suppose the fix maybe similar to this video but that maybe a good one :)
I speak with a high pitch because I naturally have a really deep voice. And I want to avoid having a too deep voice. Any feed back ?
Why do you want to change your pitch?just out of curiosity. I understand where your coming from I'm an Alto and my voice is somewhat lower than normal.
@@stingraykitten1796 They might be a girl and a lot of people consider higher pitched voices more ladylike although I usually talk in the 4th to 5th octave and people just say I sound like a child-
@@pamelagarcia4323 oh ok thats cool :3
@@stingraykitten1796 ya deep voices are beautiful though
Any speaking out of your normal pitch will probably damage your vocal chords, since you stressing them out more than if you just stuck with what your body was comfortable with
I always speak higher because I’m constantly nervous when talking to people. I just recently heard my voice in a recording and I asked my husband how he puts up with that lol
Great vid as always thanks! I found myself always getting hoarse but I bet this will help since I found I change mine alot lol
I'm currently using this to try to erase the programming of the "customer service" voice
Relatable
Interesting! I though we mostly always spoke in a higher pitch, to placate and and sound less threatening.
My natural pitch for humming seems to be a B note but I question whether it depends completely on anatomy as that note also happens to be the first note ascending the chromatic scale whose Shepard tone sounds lower than the pitch that they form a tritone with, (meanwhile making the B flat Shepard tone the last one in the ascending chromatic sequence to sound like the higher pitch in its own tritone pair) and studies seem to implicate perception of the tritone paradox to depend on what language/accent/dialect one grew up hearing meaning different languages/accents/dialects have different natural pitches.
(The fact that it’s a B pitch is actually very strange as I was brought up in Southern California where the perception of the Shepard tones in the tritone paradox is the complete opposite; it means that I somehow took after my dad’s British side of the family instead since Southern Brits perceive the Shepard tones that way)
Ever since I was a kid I would speak higher than my actual pitch, and overall change my voice to make it way higher than it actually is. that passed on to my teen years and now I’m struggling to find what my voice actually sounds like, because when I do speak naturally it sounds very strange and hoarse. I want to start speaking in my normal tone but my parents have always heard me speak with the fake pitch, so I’m not sure exactly what to do about it.
GOOD AFTERNOON 🇳🇵💓🎓💤YOU ARE THE GENEROUS AND CREATIVE GUIDE FOR THE SPEAKERS. 🎶🎶
5:52 Is there a relation btw shy and higher pitch? It's exactly my problem, My speaking voice is higher than what I should use and then I subconsciously clamp my larynx to match to my singing with fake speaking voice.
You are really good at this. i love the way you teaching. keep up good work❤️.
Excellent 😮thank you
my voice was always tired quickly when i talked for like 30 mins cause i was talking too low?? maybe? and at like an A#2 but like i started talking higher at like F#3 and i think that hurt my voice more quicker. So bruhh
I've learned a lot... Thank you
Thanks a Million😎😇
What’s weird is that my first language is English and I learned German when I was 8. The weird part is that when I speak German my voice is dramatically lower than when I speak English. I don’t know what to do because I live in Germany and have to speak it all the time.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Hello my teacher Ms. Singgeeek, you have a nice accent.
I really love your content.
Sometimes I’m not sure what my natural speaking voice is because I find myself unconsciously imitating other people’s voices.
I realized recently that I keep talking lower than my natural voice to sound mature and match my friends' pitch
i have to be really careful around people with accents because i really pick it up easily...i get worried that i suddenly have their accent mid conversation and they would think i was mocking them...but it's like LSS for me.
I’m trying to figure it out without really singing anymore. I am trying acting and notice my voice has changed and sounds strained. Thanks for the help
