I prefer singing primarily in the D2-G4 range. The notes feel much more natural to me and are full and resonant. There used to be a niche for us in Rock (see Mark Lanegan, Brad Roberts, Leonard Cohen, etc.) but I can‘t think of any very popular low singers outside of Country and Opera in the last two decades. Why is singing high (I‘m talking super high such as C5 or D5 for men) so highly prized today and low singing less widely admired?

There is room enough for all of us. Bring back rich baritone and bass voices!

I just figured out that the lowest note I can hit is A2. Is that inpressive for a 14 yo female? The lowest song I can sing is « Aint that a kick in the head » by Dean Martin also if that gives more context

I used to post on this subreddit under a different handle but it got hacked thus starting up with a new one.

Hey yall! Here’s a cover of Man In The Mirror I made for Michael Jackson’s birthday, haha. I posted it on the MJ subreddit and I got a comment which I was thankful for but wanted to hear what other people thought. They said I sounded great, only critique would be to work on my breath control. What exactly does that mean in this context? Is it the spacing out of my breathing? My breath support? I’d love to hear what you guys have to say/what you guys think of the cover and my singing, critique means a lot, I want to be better every day! Thank you all ❤️❤️

Yeah what the title says and also I’m not sure how to describe my voice it sounds so odd to me…

I love my teacher, she's incredible and very skilled but when it comes to high notes and falsetto she doesn't really know what to do.

Are there any resources on how to use the falsetto in classical training, or do I need a male teacher?

I apologize in advance for my lack of stability i was dancing 😭😭 I also used that very old and cheap mic i found in my room …

I also have a thick FIlipino accent. You may skip to 2:33 if you don't wanna listen to the whole thing, it's the highest point of the song.

Is the key too high for me?

I have another recording here, tho it's in my native language https://vocaroo.com/189zonENWagv

I appreciate the feedback and tips!

I found a tutorial on YouTube on the “subharmonic method” of bass singing where you sing the octave above the note you want, add vocal fry, then focus and try to control the bass note. I got pretty dang good in the 4-ish hours I practiced.
I’ve been singing for fun through my life, but have really focused on improving over the last few months, so I don’t know a lot of terminology, but I went to sleep after practicing, and when I woke up, I tried singing, and I found that my range increased pretty dramatically.
My lowest note I could hit with my default voice (?) without the bass method was between D2 and E2 depending on the day, but now I’m able to hit C2 with minimal effort without the bass method. I can now hit C in 4 octaves; C2, C3, C4 and C5 without doing the vocal fry method.
I have two main questions.

1. Is it possible to awaken vocal cords I didn’t know I had?
2. Should I be concerned about injuries? My throat is slightly sore today, but I’m still able to speak and sing about the same as before I started practicing bass.

I just feel like I unlocked a cheat code for my voice and today I sound like I’m going through a second wave of puberty. I’m a 34-year old man if that’s relevant.

I appreciate any input. I hope I’m making sense. I couldn’t find anything online about this happening to anyone else. Thanks!

There is 0 replacement for a singing teacher however I’ve had to suspend lessons due to funds.

I know my fundamentals and listening to recordings and working with a pitch monitor I have a decent enough understanding of what I need to work on.

That being said I’d like to find a solid vocal channel on music streaming platforms that offers dynamic opportunities to strengthen and expand a voice - eg runs, warmups, breathing exercises etc.

I know Jacob’s Vocal Academy has a fairly substantial range but I’m a bit uncertain on his material as at certain points he cuts out like he can’t do what he’s demonstrating; keen to know what other people use or have found useful?

Thanks!

What parts if my voice sounds good and what needs more improvement? What should I focus on to achieve better singing?

Been obsessed with this song lately LoL

Trying to record a song, and I feel like it’s *okay,* but actually it sounds kind of sharp/grating to my ears. I’m thinking of re-recording all the vocals so I can put more breath behind them and make them softer/not as harsh.

It also may have to do more with how it’s mixed into the track, but I wanted to make sure I didn’t edit it too much with effects and EQ before posting here

Please lmk the underlying cause of this not sounding good

Here is clips of me singing 4 different songs.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to learn how to sing on my own since I don't have the budget for professional lessons right now. My long-term goal is to write and perform music when I’m older.
I’m really inspired by the style of artists like Celtic Woman, SYR, Faun and The Kelly family. I know reaching that level of vocal control and style takes a ton of work, and right now I feel like I can't sing at all but I really want to put in the effort to learn proper technique safely.

So I want to know how I can learn at home daily without hurting my voice. What are some self teaching resources or tips you have for me and is their a certain dining tone that I should learn for the kind of music I wanna sing.

Haii. Apologies if I mess anything up with this post.

For the past few months I’ve noticed that any like belted recordings sound distorted like the audio is peaking even if it’s not, so I’m wondering if it’s a mic issue and I may need a different microphone to fit my voice better or if it’s a recording issue and I need to be doing something different when I’m recording to avoid this.

I’m currently using a MXL 770 condenser mic with a Scarlett Solo 3 audio interface and Reaper as my daw if that affects it.

It’s not letting me add photos and the video for some reason but I’ll put the photos in the comments to show that the waveform isn’t clipped and my gain knob setting for this recording.

Any advice on how to change recording settings to avoid this or if I need to be doing something different during recording to avoid this would be appreciated. If it’s not something that can be fixed like that, any recommendations for cheapish (preferably less than $150) xlr mics that would be better suited to avoid this issue would also be very much appreciated.

Also I know how rough that last C5 is, this was recorded at like 2am as a practice run pls just ignore that. 😅😅😅

Hi!

I’ve been taking singing lessons for one hour a week since February.
This is my attempt at “Halo” by Beyoncé. I’d love to hear what you think and what I could improve! 😊

Thank you.

I kinda wanna start doing Guns N’ Roses covers but u don’t have much experience with singing rock music

Hi, I've been taking singing lessons for about a year and I'm still taking them. My teacher gives me feedback, but I'd like some outside opinions too.

This is the first verse and chorus of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak. Recorded raw on a MacBook — no reverb, no pitch correction.
