    Weird question but why does voices always sound 10x better when singing in an echoey parking garage, bathroom, or hallway and is there any microphone that give that same effect?

    • @qmigueel
      @qmigueel 7 месяцев назад +65

      Not the owner of the channel, not a professional either, but I hope this answers your question: That's usually called reverb. It sounds really good because it gives a spacey effect to our voice, masking the flaws we make during singing. "Many of these flaws include but not limited to: vocal pitch (flat or sharp notes), misplaced vowels, mispronunciation, tone of voice, lack of breath support, timbre or volume, and so on. " (Thank you someone from 5 years ago in a reddit post for helping me.) As for a microphone that has reverb (or usually called echo), there's cheap condensers that have a dial for that. Though, just buy something good for its price and do it in software.

      I bought one off Amazon. It's Zealsound usb condenser mic less than $50 cad. It has an echo dial. It's a great mic actually

      ​@@qmigueelgreat explanation! Just one clarification though, reverb and echo are very different things! Echo is your voice repeating and playing again, in decremental stages of volume. Echo time is the duration after which the voice plays. Both reverb and echo are often confused for each other.

    • @AnnieDang
      @AnnieDang  Год назад +24

      Aw thank you so much, you're too kind! Singing can be very technical and I'm not qualified to be teaching so I probably won't be covering that on this channel. There's also the risk of teaching improper techniques that could lead to vocal injury and I don't want to be liable for that. SO, I'd recommend watching videos from certified vocal coaches for the guidance you're looking for! 🧡

    Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused about all the different kinds of microphones, and apparently I wasn't the only one 😅
    I've always wanted to record covers of my favorite songs, as well as getting better at singing and mixing, so a microphone is a must.
    If I were to pick a few songs to start... probably Idol (Yaosobi), Hated by Life Itself (Kanzaki Iori), and Lower one's eyes (nulut) {any fellow 25ji Nightcord de fans here..? }, songs I've written english lyrics for. I'm super excited to try recording my versions of these songs that mean so much to me! ❤

I would love to win one of your microphones so I can start recording my most recent original songs and get my channel up and running ASAP!
    In 2007 I did record 11 originals at a local studio and now have that CD "Songs from my Sofa' on Spotify. However, it is not representational of what I am doing now.
