    My parents always told me I couldn't sing and I've been working on my voice for about a year now and when I was singing like a few days ago they were like: is that you singing ? Since when can you sing?

      Same for me too, I practiced 2 years myself and my parents and my sibling didnt like my voice. But after my practice, my vocal range increased high af(because i wanted to sing more higher). I impressed my whole family and close others who never thought I can improve my singing through a vocal competition. Now Im so happy I can sing and have fun with my voice

It's same with singing,I play the piano and I can say that I am okay with it but I always had a wish to be a singer..And yeah my confidence is so like so low,but if I could learn how to draw,I can do the same with singing (but ofc just to mention,I kinda have some talent for drawing,I mean,I can understand it pretty well,so that's the reason why I have big and faster improvement for drawing,but for singing not really).😆

      @michaeljeffmamigo970 4 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      That's one thing you should stop. Not believing in your voice. Every voice is unique in its own way. Your voice is not terrible. Believe that it's not terrible and you can start developing your singing voice.
      This only applies if you don't have any vocal damage. If your voice sounds hoarse, airy, breathy, or unnatural, you should try seeing a doctor to check if there are abnormalities in your throat. That way, you'll know what you need to do with your singing so the "damage" won't worsen.
      I hope this helped. Your voice is not terrible :)

    • @pardifowl
      @pardifowl 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      To add to this: I've always hated the way I talk and the way I sing cause I have a feminine voice like freddy mercury and always wanted more of a ray lamontagnue voice. But in the last few years I've really started appreciating the fact that my voice is mine and it's wholly unique and I should have been proud all along. So now I'm writing music that suits my voice and it sounds like butter. Also losing weight affects your voice a lot, never knew until I started Keto recently but it sounds a lot less like thick cold butter and more like microwaved butter. Mmm

    It's hard for your speaking voice to 'sound' like your singing voice, when singing and speaking are such different activities. It's like saying one should run like they walk. But I understand that you should try to sing naturally and not imitate someone else's voice.

      tmantheman my voice was messed up recently. I used to love it sounding very punk like and raw and so I learned Faux Tenor technique. I could sing up to Bb 4 in a belting voice and G5 in a falsetto. After playing a couple of gigs with that voice I found after 30 minutes I would really struggle and strain. I revaluated and in two months time I feel major difference in my voice and in the health of myself.

    My 3 rules if you want to sing.
    1. Don't get jealous if someone can sing better than you, sometimes you tend to be annoy by your friend or family when they are singing because they are better than you and you even distract them by doing bad singing.
    2. Don't insult others if they can't sing well
    3. Feel the song and appreciate all kind of music.

    I'm self-taught, and have been at it for decades.
    What changed my voice was being in a band, having the lowest voice, yet singing all the high harmonies without falsetto. I was the front, so the majority of vocal work was mine. This also opened things up.
    This experience matured my voice quickly, within a couple years. It, the band broke up... time to move on.
    I went solo acoustic for the next 20 years, and worked a bunch. The steady work also gave me not only power, but a presence. I could go anywhere, cold, BOOM... heads turned.
    What really helped was being instructed on harmonica tone by a legendary master. He gave me a 3 minute lesson that not only changed my harmonica tone around, it helped my singing, because he taught me about how your body, from your lips to diaphragm, affect your tone. I discovered that the same principles apply to both disciplines... remarkable.
    Music is endless... no matter how good you get, there's always room for improvement. Presently, I am challenged by my pronunciations of lyrics, learning how to exaggerate for clarity sake, and, I have a tendency to habitually accentuate my R's... very annoying.
    Good video. I'm becoming elderly... which is also providing challenges with my whole body... every day is an effort to hang on to what I've got... and still have growth where I want it.
    BTW, I will continue to listen to my favorite singers... I learned to play guitar and harmonica by copying masters... I don't try to sound like them, but learning their chops gave me tools to have my own voice... So, I will disagree with you there. Listening is a skill that comes from practice. It is easily half of what being a good musician is.
    Keep up the good work, you have shit to learn too... but you do know more than beginners... I liked that opening recording, with the falsetto crack... well done! I'll have to work on that.

    My girlfriend says all the time that no matter what I sing I always sing it like me. Been an unclean vocalist for almost 12 years now and been working on singing a lot more the last few years. I’m starting to realize I might have allergies that are changing my sound for the worse recently. Seemed like no matter how much I worked in my technique I would sound like I’m singing around a cold a lot. Some days though it wasn’t there at all. I noticed the same sound when I speak too. I’m hoping I figure this out because honestly I’m getting pretty damn good at singing finally :). I’ll have a few new covers coming on my channel soon with some clean parts.

    Good points.....my disagreement isn’t really a disagreement - singing near to your speaking voice works well...but there are also many singers who can wail and create massive impact with such a singing voice (“wail” refers to singing in a verrry different way from one’s speaking voice.)....they both can and do work.....I mean, we’re talking about Art, so there are many ways and many tastes.

      To me his Nr. 1 doesn't necessarily mean you should do sls. In my opinion sls even encourages beginner singers to alter their voice because they get a wrong idea of mixed voice and early bridging. When speaking relaxed in your natural voice you're creating the maximum amount of overtones which is what you also want to achieve when singing. But by altering your voice by tensing your larynx muscles or adding air or changing placement etc. you're losing overtones.

Every singer does different stuff and you can learn a little bit from them but you have to apply that to your own voice and figure out how those vocal coordinations sound with your unique voice. Hope I made some sense. Good luck

      Like any other muscle it requires working it out to get stronger and gaining proper muscle memory.
      Always do at least 3 relatively low volumed songs for warm up.
      Do about as many extreme or hard songs as you feel comfortable doing without feeling like you're straining your larynx.
      Don't forget to let the air flow out when you sing because after all that's how sound travels, also when you work your voice out by working on the voices you can't do or are having a hard time doing - don't be afraid to sing louder and gradually get looser to be able to do it quieter for more control, and activating your throat muscles that stop you from singing and singing louder will help work out the muscle actually opening your larynx and allowing air to flow out stronger.
      These are some tips if you want.
      * Oh I almost forgot, take at least 2 days apart from hard workouts to let yourself heal and get stronger, meanwhile at that time if you feel like you can you should work on technique rather than on singing to get to know your voice and larynx better.

So I started singing under blankets so the voice don't come out like breaking window panes or something. Even , born as countertenor so obviously the voice has higher range upto 4 octaves with ease. But as Indian singing and western singing differ more or less , then think I am some sort of baby crying or screaming. So that's the whole problem I literally face everyday.
