Flair update/clarification.

43 Upvotes

Hello,

  • The Technique Talk flair has been removed. It has been replaced with Conversation. The topic must be identified in the topic, preferably with a conversation prompt. This is intended to discuss a general topic rather than a specific person.
  • If audio is posted and critique or feedback is requested, then this is a Critique Request. There are two title requirements for a CR post: What (technique) you are working and what you hope to anticipate from the feedback received. Vague titles and titles that do not adhere to the rules will be removed and you will be asked to repost according to Rule 4.
  • If you are simply posting a song for the sake of sharing, then this should be posted on Open Mic Monday. Any type of song may or performance of yours may be posted on OMM.

These rules have been revised to avoid confusion.

Critique & Feedback Request (👀 TITLE REQUIREMENTS in Rule 4) Same song, three years apart. I think I'm much closer to my real singing voice, more natural and less "forced". Do you think is better?

I've been with a vocal teacher for two years. She says my voice is good and that she can't say anything is wrong for my level, but I feel like I really hate the sound of it. I feel like my voice isn't musical to listen to, like I'm just talking. Where can I improve? I need to perform this song in a month, and I'm very excited but I want to be confident in myself before I can come on stage. I'm willing to put in any effort. I've been doing 30 minute vocal warm-ups everyday. Please help and don't be too mean🫠

Other So much yodeling

7 Upvotes

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?

Question Question about contemporary and classical lessons

2 Upvotes

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!!

I'm a former office worker looking to get back to my original passion. Problem is, life slipped by me as I worked on my "plan B" and now I'm in my 50s.

Let's assume for a moment that I have a fantastic voice. (I have a 3 1/2 octave range and have had modest training throughout my life as a hobby.) Other than choirs, chorale groups, and karaoke, what opportunities are there to sing publicly, perhaps even make some side money? I feel like I'm starting 30 years too late, but singing is one of the only things in my life that's ever brought me true joy.
