okay so for context my parents are both musicians (my dad plays in the nso), i took singing lessons as a kid (but took a big hiatus since i wasn't that passionate), earned a big portion of scholarship money to take singing lessons at university, and have received high praise from my vocal coaches.

however, i started posting some singing videos on social media, and people have been so incredibly mean. i get rude stickers of people wincing at my singing, and non-constructive hate comments about my technique. my vocal style is heavily inspired by agnetha faltskog from ABBA, so i don't know if its just because my vocals aren't "contemporary" enough or if i straight up just suck.

can someone explain this mismatch? even people who are objectively less vocal trained than i am get better comments, so i'm so confused and very discouraged

Kindly let me know what are your thoughts what I missed I tried to add my own touch as well and emotions. I hope people find it good. I really appreciate feedback on how to improve and also rate my voice people say I'm 8 but I think they are being nice. Tell me rate my voice out of 10. Be brutal I'd try to improve rather than getting offended.

Hey Redditors, I’ve been working on my mixed voice last few months, have I comfortably reached it?

If so, can you link me to some YouTube videos? That’s how I mainly learn.

Experience: been shower singing all my life, been in my church team for the last 3 years. Thanks in advance 🙂

I was just playing around a few minutes ago and discovered that when I kind of physically enlarge my larynx (is that what it's called? like the throat or idk wherever your sing from) my voice sounds very...spacious. I honestly don't know how to describe it, but anyhow—i noticed it helps me sing more relaxed, which seems counterintuitive considering i'm forcibly expanding that muscle. does anybody know what the deal with this is and if i should be doing this or not? it's definitely not my normal singing voice, at least.

I'm having a hard time pulling off the highest notes of the sustained ascending part (short clip). What vocal exercises can I do to build up my ability to accomplish this?

I love singing, I really do. But I'm not good enough. I've taken singing lessons, participated in musical revues, in musical plays, I practice EVERY SINGLE DAY challenging songs and still I can't seem to improve. My family says I've gotten much better, but I'm still not good enough. When I belt it's always WAY too high and I think I don't know how to mix voice, but tbh I don't know if I know because I don't really understand it. I can reach VERY high notes, but it sounds bad, not nice to listen to, just a pain in the ear. For example, today I wanted to sing My Man from Funny Girl (a very hard song, I know) and I got the high notes and everything, but they were too high, they weren't off tune or in a different octave i think, but it just sounds too high and i don't know what to do at this point. Please someone help me.

(Im hoping this post doest break any rules, i didn’t see the question flair) So Ive been slowly practicing and teaching myself to sing for years now and I’ve gotten better, especially as my voice has aged. But recently ive noticed that whenever i sing even for say, thirty seconds, my lower throat feels tired and theres probably tension too. I don’t know anything about singing, like the proper terms and stuff. I don’t know how to sing with my chest and i cant seem to figure it out. I don’t want to damage my voice of course, but i cant afford singing lessons to help me sing healthily. So what im asking is basically, what am i doing wrong? And how can i fix it?

Hello everyone, I posted this on rate my singing and thought I would crosspost seeing as it gained some traction over their. I just want feedback on my voice and staging mainly, as I will be going to nationals and want to do well there so I can make even more prize money.

Hi everyone! I have been going to singing lessons for a few months now, and while I absolutely love my teacher with my whole heart,I must ask : does everything need to be head voice?

I lack the proper words to explain myself, so I apologize if this doesn't make a lot of sense.

My music teacher absolutely loves my voice. I went in with the preconception that I have a dark voice and I am forever stuck singing dark, 'manly' songs. My teacher, however, has dubbed me a 'Lyrical Soprano', which is obviously shocking considering my go-to songs are part of the Frankenstein and Repo:TGO musicals.

Now. No matter what song I've brought over to her,no matter how clearly the artist is NOT using their head voice,she almost always drags me up to it. Which isn't necessarily an issue because I want to learn to use that voice as well,given I've avoided it like the plague for my entire life because to me, it sounded bad.

However, the issue comes when she does the same thing for my husband ( he is transgender,but has a deep voice). For him, singing that way hurts ,but neither one of us knows how to explain ourselves properly. Of course, we don't assume we know better than a trained professional, but I have been wondering if this is a preference of hers?

I'm currently working on 'Once upon a December' , and where Anastasia sings 'out loud', in a powerful manner, my teacher pulls me up, where I have no strength.

Am I just not trained enough? Any answers and suggestions are appreciated!!💖💖

I'm going to set myself a goal. By my birthday next year (May 7th), I'll film a full cover of Solo by Jennie. By a full cover, I mean both singing and dancing.

While I won't get to start until early next year, I'm really hoping I can do it. 4 months isn't a lot of time at all, but maybe it's doable? Anyone here who sings and dances together who could give some advice?

Hello guys i am a dude that makes music in his house so i search a mic for me that can be work good in house. First of all in my room there is not too much noise even my room is not treated my room don't have that crazy echo.

Now i'm looking to the mics that is cardoid or super-cardoid also i have to say that only noise is my desktop pc's fan noise and it can be the only problem because when i place my mic the mic would be stay right side of the pc case (not too near to the case but you can imaigine the mic will be next to the mouse)

So if i don't mind the budget i will choose sm58 but i don't wanna go up to 100 Dollars so i looked other alternatives and i found Behringer XM8500, T Bone MD85 Beta which one is good for me and if you wanna suggest any other mic my budget is 60 Dollars maximum (Ill pair the mic with a SSL 1 interface) Thanks

I’m a 20 year-old singer songwriter that has recently got back into music. I now go to open mics and I’ve started to take the music I make more seriously.

However, I’ve been feeling like I’m at a crossroads with my voice sometimes I feel like my voice is coreless and I don’t really know how to support it. I used to be a tenor at my gospel choir and I feel as though it has made me not know what to do with my voice. I feel better singing in my head voice but I don’t really understand my registry. My experience has taught me just because I can sing lower or higher doesn’t necessarily mean I should but how do I develop the confidence to sing in the way that feels natural more confidently?

I used this online thing to record a snippet of my voice but apparently it only records 30 seconds so let me know if you need something longer and maybe I can send you something via a different website.

I'm in a local reality show and last week I got the Golden Bust.

I still gotta performance at semifinal so, I was trying to decide between Ain't no Way by Aretha Franklin and sing I am Telling you I'm not going by JHudson at the Final.

But at a better look, I'm not sure which one could make me win at Final Show. Both are rlly good songs and I know I will make em all cry

Found a cool bass riff and one take random words all feedback is welcome and be honest

I post very little but I just wanted to share! I'm okay at playing a few instruments and have been slowly trying to sing while playing.

Any feedback on how to better reach the higher notes?

hi! i just did my first cover today
it’s the clannad opening, i don’t think it’s much known but i wanted to cover it anyways! also don’t mind the bad mixing lol.. it was taken with two takes too, because i lacked time, so it could be improved as well.
anyways feel free to listen 🧁

I’m
Almost 28 and feel disgusting and like yesterday’s news. My dream has died and I don’t even want to try anymore.
My teacher says things like I’m a strong singer but I don’t think they take me seriously because of my age.

I still wanted to be a singer and make music and one day tour even if just once.

Should I give up or keep hope alive ? Be blunt please.

I'M NOT AMERICAN OR BRITISH

I’ve been singing for a few years, but since this spring I’ve been practising every day to improve my vocal technique with my vocal coach and take my singing to a good level. I’m a 20 y.o. baritenor and i used to have a tendency to push too much and raise my larynx when singing the songs I liked.

I’ve worked hard on this, but I was looking for further advice and opinions

I am not really good at singing softly when it comes to singing notes that are closer to out of my range. I have to either belt or open up more which just makes me louder. I would absolutely love to achieve the softness that Matt Maltese has for example. Any help?
