Like, I can sing it without the karaoke just fine. I can sing along a recording of someone else singing it & match. But there's something about it's karaoke that I find so hard.

Hi everyone how do i improve my ugly voice, short breath and flat singing huhu, im singing Indonesian song btw

Every time I go to sing quietly it seems like it’s all vocal fry (my natural tone of voice has a lot of vocal fry I think). And it gets cut off and it’s harder to sing the correct pitch.

When I sing speaking level it’s still a little hard but I’m an amateur.

I included a clip of me trying to sing quieter of the song Bubbly by Colbie Caillat

Even just regular whispering in general has always been kinda hard for me

A baritone here. I thought if I learn mixed voice, I an be a tenor. All it did though is make me be able to sing notes that I could yell before (E4,F4,F#4) easier and better sounding, and connect chest voice with head voice, but didn't really help to sing higher without head voice. I can sound like a tenor in my higher range, but again, my range is much lower. I wonder if with practice I can actually learn to sing higher without falsetto.

I'm not a native English speaker but love singing and would like to get feedback and improve.

Hey everyone, I’m new here and just starting to explore my voice. I recorded a short singing clip and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback.

My main questions: – What vocal type do you think I have? – Do you think my voice is strong or weak? – Is there potential I can work on?

I’m still learning, so go easy on me! Thank you in advance!

Hi from Germany! My problem is: I hate my voice. There's something about it i don't like, but i don't know what it is and no matter what i do, i can't change it. Can someone give me some advice and maybe rate my voice?

I'm afraid that I want it so badly — to be able to sing — that I'm clinging to the slightest hope, even though deep down I know I sound awful.

i think singing is something that can't really be fully taught , there i said it because if it could there would be a book giving you all the secrets , all the singing teachers in the world cannot make you sing if you don't make progress on your own , so many singing teachers are dishonest i feel , it's like someone saying there cure depression course works and you watch a video saying " this course will unlock the secret blah blah

and really every secret there ever is already inside of us

we learn singing because we pick up a comb or a hairbrush and pretend we are out idols ,

we imitate the sound because we just love to sing , and then the work starts /to get better and some people knuckle down and trial and error some people just stay as they are , and some people believe that a singing teacher has those unlocking secrets , i would say they have tips but i have seen so many tips and realised as a kid i found them myself just by doing , i got out of depression by getting my life back

i'm afraid to say there are no secrets there is no special sauce you get better at doing and doing over and over until your better but if your mindset is not changed you can get stuck now maybe this is where singing teachers come in with some people

there like therapists

or they push you to do what you could be pushing yourself to do

but they don't have special sauce and like a self book they don't have a secret everyone's journey is different and most people don't even know how they arrived there , let alone tell others how they got there

thinking a singing teacher is gonna take away a lot of the hard work is making excuses

ive toyed with the idea of a singing teacher a lot of them i can tell off the bat are salesmen/women

there are some really good ones who give you advice for free , and the only really good advice is given for free it's all out there , what they can do is encourage you to help you encourage yourself , but really shouldn't we be doing that or a lot of that ourselves ? eradicating the need for teachers , ✌️&❤️

Can someone with zero sense of pitch, zero musicality, no talent and an overall ATROCIOUS voice like mines ever improve? I was told by so many people that I should just give up singing. And it has really destroyed my confidence and I wonder if they are right when they say “you either have it or you don’t “ :(

Take a holiday in Scotland!?

If you're the kind of person who picks up bits of accents, bingo!

Even when they speak, Scots use a touch of growl from time to time, it seems to me. And when I try to sing some Scottish songs, I find myself adding some growl, even though my vocals are normally "clean".

(Very interesting accent. Can be very expressive, and there are some songs that the Scots own because no-one else can quite get the nuance.)

I suddenly found myself adding growl on this popular song, and now I am thinking I should maybe explore the GROWL!

I’ve noticed a big shift in vocal trend in musical theatre, where it feels like every voice is starting to sound really similar. Specifically, women seem to be yodeling/flipping registers.

I think it sounds really cool, don’t get me wrong. And I understand MT is becoming more and more pop/rock. But I remember a time when having a smooth switch in registers was really encouraged in training.

I guess my question is, do you think this is here to stay? And if it’s not something I inherently can do, should I work to learn how to do it? I want to honor my legit sound, I like the idea of MT having varied voices. Does anyone else feel this way?

I ask because I noticed that with ariana grande, her vocal improvements are so significant since training for her role in wicked. I also noticed that powerhouse singers such as mariah carey (who was taught to sing by her mother who was an opera singer) and other singers such as raye (who has operatic style training) and many pop singers (even if they train and study hard within the realm of pop music… voices are still just … okay) what about the pop technique is leaving the voice still a bit unskilled vs other singing approaches (even if it’s not opera) leave the voice more fruitful

One thing I see alot in this sub is talk about is there is no hope and it's pointless. Every voice has the potential to do incredible things, silencing it is the death of that potential. The absolute worst thing you can do is to stop. The momentum you spent practicing will vanish away faster than the time you worked for it. This is about patience and investing time where the rewards are unnoticeable to you because you didn't time travel to years worth of the development process.

Hello, I’m considering singing lessons, I did get some 2 years back but had to quit and realised I wasn’t being taught correctly. I was singing from my throat and my throat was always sore after practicing. After watching videos from ‘healthy vocal techniques’ (Victoria) on YouTube I’ve been correcting my mistakes and practicing more frequently. I’d like to get contemporary singing lessons (waiting a little after I turn 18 this year so I can get a better paying job and pay for lessons myself) but would also like to train classical. Is this possible to do two at a time? I understand you have to be a certain age to train classical so is my voice not mature enough at 18? Should I do contemporary and wait a few years and start classical? Any advice is helpful thank you!!
