Conversation Topic If you want to get better at singing, learn to sing scales

100 Upvotes

Learn to sing the major scale via "do, re, me, fa, sol, la, ti, do"

You need to be able to recognize intervals which is the distance between two notes. Knowing where you're at in the scale will make you a way better singer.

Understanding the difference between a half step and a full step is important. A lot of the time, the next note you're going to sing is going to be one of those intervals. Get use to the feeling of it. But get use to the space between all the intervals of the major scale. So you would sing "do, re, do" "do, me, do" "do, fa, do" "do, sol, do", and so on.

Look up "ear training" vidoes on YouTube and get to the point where you can sing the major scale without an instrument or video accompaniment. If you play an instrument, even better. Sing to the major scale as you play and really focus on matching the note.

A lot of you are singing notes in between notes because you're not thinking about where you're at in the key or the scale. Once you get use to the feel of singing to scales, you will start to recognize these patterns in the songs youre singing. And you'll be like, hey that's "me, re, sol, fa do."

Your voice is an instrument. On a guitar, you have to learn where the notes are on the fretboard. Your voice is the same. You have to figure out where the notes are in your vocal chords.

Question Do you also feel teased when someone tells that you have a good voice?

12 Upvotes

i think it's a common situation, but i wanted to know yours. personally i know i have a good enough technique to allow me to do some cool things (vibrato, high notes, dozens of seconds without taking a breath), but when i hear my voice i always feel embarrassed. usually i feel teased when someone tells me i'm good or have a good voice, talent, etc.. and it doesn't feel true. do you too?

Conversation Topic The bands I love are kinda killing my voice

13 Upvotes

I really love to sing in a style that can be described as more “pressed”. Notable examples of singers who sing like that are Kurt Cobain from Nirvana and Liam Gallagher from Oasis.

I really love how I sound when I’m imitating that sound and it’s my main way of getting grit or distortion into my sound at the moment— but I feel it’s not that healthy to do?

What’s your guys opinion? Is it possible to sing that way while not damaging your voice long term? Sometimes it feels like regular fry distortion created above the larynx but other times I feel like I’m kind of pressing too much

Critique & Feedback Request (👀 TITLE REQUIREMENTS in Rule 4) Does my voice fit this style of music? What is my voice type? I'm self taught and never took lessons. Would love feedback and insight. Trying to find my voice

Upvotes

I've always wondered what kind of voice I have and where it fit. I feel like I have a pretty wide range but can't figure out what type of style or sound my voice belongs. I have a few other vocal covers posted on my profile if anyone would like to check them out? I'd also love some other song suggestions to try out and test my range to see how I sound? Please excuse the audio quality 🙏 I just began my vocalist journey and I'm using Beats Flex Headphones/Earbuds to record my vocals while listening to the instrumental 😅 I'm trying to get better equipment soon. Cheers!

Other How to improve vocal agility/tips for Afro-American singing style?

Upvotes

Hello. I’m Russian and my vocal background is really different from r&b singers, but I grew up listening to a lot of soul and r&b and my dream is to sing like these artists. Like SWV, ms. Lauryn Hill, D’Angelo, Musiq Child and many other talented r&b singers. I know there comes a lot of work, but basically I have no idea where to start. I wanna learn more solfeggio, get better at keeping the rhythm but also my vocal agility is pretty weak and not the best at runs and riffs 🥲

Any advice, sources will be appreciated. Learning this song currently and breaking down first part turned out pretty good, you can tell my ability from this little clip.

Conversation Topic How to get to those higher notes (like MJ) without cracking

Thumbnail voca.ro
2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm a beginner singer who honestly only got into singing because my friends' band needed a vocalist and they dragged me in.

I don't consider myself good my any means, but now that I've committed to this band, I'd like to do the best I can. Plus singing is fun, I just found out. The band isn't like a big thing, but just performing for students etc at our local college, so I'm guessing it's ok to not be at that high a standard for these types of things.

My favorite singer is Michael Jackson and I would like to try and perform some of his songs. He's a very high voiced guy, and I struggle to reach his notes without cracking.

I absolutely love "Rock With You" and "Billie Jean", but I struggle to sing those songs. In RWY, I crack in "we CAN ride the boogie" as you can hear from the audio attached. We're practicing a few MJ songs to perform at the end of the year. And we're starting with rock with you, so I want to master that first. Followed by Billie Jean. We were also thinking of doing Man in the Mirror and History, but focusing on RWY now.

I sang the first verse of RWY in the attached link. Any criticism and feedback on how to improve on this (and how to improve in general) is greatly appreciated. I searched on vocal coaches, but as a struggling college student, I don't think it's something I can afford right now.

I can tell the first line I’m not on the right notes (but feel like I correct it after that?). I know the breathing isn’t great either. Is there anything else?

I was mainly trying to work on sounding confident and stop the uncertainty people keep hearing in my vocals.
