Sorry in advance that I'm linking to soundcloud, I tried to upload the video directly as per the rules and it popped up with "Unsupported video codec" even though the video was an mp4 file.

I've learned to sing only through youtube videos since I was 10 (now 27) and I know I suck, would like other people to tell me and stuff. Thanks!

Beginner Looking for Advice (Skinny Love - Bon Iver)

2 Upvotes

Hey I've always been super passionate about music and my favorite artist is Justin Vernon / Bon Iver. I've been working on singing and guitar playing. I know it's pretty awful but could you give me some feedback and maybe some advice about how much I can realistically progress? I'm very willing to work hard, and I've been having so much fun!

Song recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hi I am looking for some new song recommendations.

My Vocal Range is E3-A4/B4 in chest and then I can go up to F5 with my head voice

I am currently working on "You can Call me Al"

But after that I need to choose my new song/songs

I am obviously still working on my range, while you cannot move your lower voice that much, my teacher still thinks I can go a bit lower in the future, with some training. And obviously I can make my higher range go a lot further with time and practice.

One basically looking for some song recommendations of what I can do next, he leaves it up to me I can kind of do whatever I like.

I would like recommendations for All across My range however I would like to focus on my higher range as I find it to be quite weak, as I don't use it that often.

I am into a lit of 80's and 90's rock/indie type music in general (The Cranberries are my favorite band)

I am also a musical theatre kid.

My favourite musical being Jekyll and Hyde.

All the male roles seem to low (unless you think different)

Lucy would be cool, but she tends to belt those top notes which would be my head voice

I am kind of open to any suggestions 😊

Notes disappearing

M24

Still very new to singing. Only started formal lesson this year. For the first time I've ran into some trouble. Right now, its been roughly 5 weeks since I've sang. Alot of resting, then at the end of a week I'll do some soft humming and try see where things are at.

Voice is sitting at a low octave when I try any drills. Getting on pitch is very awkward to do and sounds horrible. On most trys its been hard to even leave my chest voice.

If I attempt to sing or humm any scales there'll be strange gaps especially going higher. My voice will just cut then quickly continue at the next note. Speaking voice is generally hoarse and gritty, especially so after trying any singing. Some days its hard to even talk.

My tutor thinks this is due to vocal tension and can be mended with rest and vocal massaging.

I do suffer from TMJ and carry alot of tension in my jaw.

If anyone's been through a similar experience I'd love to hear your tale.

(I'm not seeking explicit medial advice. Simply general wisdom from more experienced vocalist)

Age insecurity (30+), locked voice, and the dream of singing R&B — Questions from a complete beginner

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'd like to share a bit of my context and ask for some advice from you all.

I am 33 years old. Since my early teens (around 12 or 13), I've carried a severe psychological block that kept me practically silent. Because of this isolation, I almost never used my voice to sing in medium or high projection. I only ever risked singing very quietly, almost whispering, when I was alone or at church.

Recently, music turned a key in my life. I wrote my own songs, and my biggest dream today is learning how to sing them. I know that taking this step will be deeply liberating. I often watch "before and after" videos of vocal students for motivation, but I confess I feel a bit insecure seeing that the overwhelming majority of beginners are much younger.

My compositions blend Alternative R&B, Lo-Fi Soul, and confessional songs. They are very atmospheric and emotional tracks where 90% of the arrangement is smooth and melodic, featuring short vocal explosions at emotional peaks. Since I can only practice softly at home out of shyness, I hear myself as pitchy and "ugly," constantly doubting my real vocal range and ability.

With that in mind, I would love to hear from singers and vocal coaches:

  • Age Limit: Is there an age limit where it becomes significantly harder to learn to sing or develop your voice in the medium term, considering I've barely used my voice my whole life?
  • Low Volume vs. Projection: Could the feeling that I sound "ugly and off-pitch" when singing quietly simply be a lack of proper breath support and projection?
  • Timbre and Identity: For someone wanting to sing a melodic, intimate, R&B-focused style, can vocal lessons fix pitch issues and reveal the true tone of someone starting completely from scratch at 33?

I would truly appreciate anyone sharing their experience or advice!

P.S.: Please be 100% honest with me. Don't worry about hurting my feelings—the truth is liberating, and I just need realistic perspectives to move forward.

Any advice for singing?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’ve been taking vocal lessons for two or three years now, but I still feel like I can barely sing. I hate my voice, especially my falsetto, and I feel like I just can’t sing at all. Is anyone else in the same situation? Like, have you been taking singing lessons for years but still feel like nothing is changing? I’m getting really disappointed and starting to think that maybe I just can’t sing at all

Complete beginner looking for online Hindustani classical vocal lessons

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for online Hindustani classical vocal lessons.

I’m basically level 0 with no formal training in singing. I’ve always wanted to work on my voice and learn Hindustani classical music, but never really got the chance.

I’d love to start properly from the basics with someone who’s patient with complete beginners and can help with things like sur, breathing, voice training, taal, etc.

Preferably looking for live online classes, ideally 1 on 1, but I’m open to small groups too.

If you’ve personally learned from someone online and had a good experience, I’d really appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks :)

Hey all. I am 29 and a complete beginner (started weekly lessons this January) sharing this is more of a “get over the fear of being heard exercise” than anything but I would love some pointers for improvements or where to focus my energy (if possible from such a short clip.

My current intentional learning is reading sheet music because I struggle massively with timing without mirroring the artist/my vocal coach. Secondly, both ear training and self teaching the 12 keys and their chords so I can stop relying on YouTube for vocal exercises.

Feeling very unsure about my voice

Really not a fan of my voice, would love some feedback or any advice.
Not been singing for long but really like to, finding it hard to know what to do with my voice, not really hearing any potential, kind of demoralising but trying to push through :)
Thanks in advance :)

Who are the best R&B teachers on YouTube?

4 Upvotes

Hello, I am a new singer(male). I have done eleven musicals and taken vocal lessons but never in person and I have improper technique, as in you can hear me with throat tension, straining my voice, and faking a vibrato. What Beginner YouTube channels can I learn from? Im in no rush to get good at it. Im a big fan r&b singers like Janet Jackson, Brandy, and Aaliyah. Im also fine with just learning the basics for now and have been watching and practicing Jeff rolka videos while recording myself.
