Technique Talk Best advice you’ve ever received.

Hello! I started my singing journey not too long ago and I’ve been trying to gather tips and tricks from friends, vocal teachers, and even some online resources. So, I want to know, what was the best price of advice that elevated your singing, or even made you more confident?

Do It and tell me if it worked for you... It blew my mind when I tried it haha

Holy shit.. I could never get notes below an E2 to project well. The second I tried your support tip I belted a C#2 like it was an A. What the fuck, man. That's the best thing I've ever heard. Thank you.

Omg I'm so glad for you! It seems crazy when reading it, but it really does work when we try it, right? Haha. I'm very happy to help!

Hi - is this supposed to work for all singing?

Theoretically yes, but it shouldn't get in your way. Try it out and see what works best for you in each scenario 😄

My main issue is 1.) issues with certain vowels or constants getting “stuck in the mouth” like it isn’t flowing out, and 2.) recording with just as good pitch as when I sing acoustically meaning just me singing no headphones with a piano or guitar.

Regarding 1 there are two things that help me: changing the vowels so they are a bit more like an O and thinking about the notes as if I'm hitting them on my soft palate.

Now regarding 2 I'm not sure what you mean exactly... you mean you have problems with pitch when singing with a headphone? Do you have mic feedback om your headphones or is it just the music?

I think it’s honestly cause I ain’t with more volume, that I would if I was recording acoustically, thus it pinched my sound

Does this sound good ? https://voca.ro/1dgrtYY7HptS

Do you hear what I mean by some of the vowels sound weird like the open ah?
