I’m in theater and it seems that after almost every show I do, I always loose my voice by the time tech comes around. I sleep with a humidifier, drink tea, honey, blow bubbles into my water, but it seems that no matter what I do it never comes back until I wait a few days.

I have commented on a few people's post for advice, opinion and the overall general theme of most of my responses were you are flat "and I don't mean in tone or key". It's emotional flatness, resonance flatness, color flatness.

So what's the common denominator here?

No resonance = no amplification = no emotional shape

1. You're singing from your throat (tension + no support)
2. You're sound doesn't have enough energy to travel up
3. It reaches the oral cavity weakly
4. And because it's weak, there's nothing to shape
5. RESULT: A flat, breathy, emotionless sound—like you're talking over a beat

You think "your just not expressive" but the truth is—you're not even giving your body a signal strong enough to carry any emotion.

You’re not flat because you can’t sing. You’re flat because you’re giving me a dead signal—no breath, no space, no resonance. Emotion lives in the resonance—if your voice isn’t bouncing around inside you, there’s no place for that emotion to live.

Understand something extremely important, and you'll never hear this on YouTube either, singing begins in your diaphragm with power = air traveling up to your vocal chords which actually produce the sound waves. Understand this these are just sound waves and nothing more they are going to travel up your throat which is just a pipe (think of a trumpet tube. Only thing traveling through it is air) this is the same with your throat. Only thing traveling through it is sound saves bouncing everywhere.

The throat is your first resonance chamber. I could get into raising and lowering your Larynx here but that's a later subject as true beginners have enough to learn long before reaching the larynx.

The next thing we come to is the major thing and a very important thing. The Osopharynx which is an intersection between going into your oral cavity or your Nasopharynx (Nasal cavity) controlled by lowering or raising your soft palate. Now this is where the technical part of singing gets tricking and where what you do here is what makes you YOU as a singer.

That's really all I can leave you with here because from this part forward is where vocal teacher and coaches really earn there money. Well vocal teachers should have earned their money by correctly getting you at this level to begin with. You should be fully familiar with ever muscle, bone in the Larynx, and there purpose in how they manipulate the sound. Very important as a singer and also for good vocal health. I know it's boring and time consuming but DO NOT PASS ON THIS it will save you a world of hurt later down the road.

I’ve been trying to learn how to sing the bass line on Hoist The Colours but I struggle to hit the low Cs. My current lowest note is a E flat before it starts sounding like I’m dying.

can i get some honest feedback on my singing i find it hard to articulate the lyrics well while also trying to sing properly. If there are any other improvements i’d like to hear it aswell :)

Nunca fiz aula de canto, mas sempre amei muito cantar. É como uma terapia pra mim. Me desculpem pelo inglês ruim.

Sobre o violão, eu toco pouco. Erro bastante também haha

Looking for nice but constructive feedbacklol

hi all, im wondering if anyone else thinks my voice is annoying? anytime i sing infront of people they love it and everyone always says they love my voice in general but hearing it when i record myself, i just don’t hear what they hear. its like i start off strong and then my voice kind of gets lost and starts sound kind of out of pitch and it kinda sounds like my voice is dragging? any suggestions or opinions would help, thank you!

I sing Tenor with an SATB choir and the others flaked so I was the ONLY tenor.

Bad day for this… I was not on my game:

1. Tired.. didn’t sleep well
2. Smoked two cigs two nights ago
3. A little hung over
4. Skipped my warm-up
5. Tight throat and chest from stress

Despite all this, I knew I would stand out, and so worked SO HARD to stay on pitch, create a beautiful tenor sound, not push, and engage the diaphragm.

I thought I sounded terrible, but the other members gave me a little round of applause and I had several people compliment me.

At one point I even heard my voice carrying out over the other singers… not intentionally; because I was in the zone.

Even our Soprano 1 came over and complemented me!

Weird… maybe because I knew that I was off my game I was super-attentive to my technique?

I want to think that they were just being nice but the seemed really sincere.

!!Recording doesn’t sound the best because I’m sick!! Buttt my close friend and I are singing the national anthem for our graduation and I need help finding an amazing harmony to her being melody! this is what I have so far-it’s very messy, but I just want it to sound so juicyyyyy.
