A lot of people hear themselves and think they suck and forget that it's a long journey to becoming a good singer. It takes time, commitment, perseverance and a consistency.
@r0zi_lla plenty of great singers that many would say suck that (Will I am - admits can't sing without auto tune, Biz Markie horrible singer but so fun to listen to, my fav David lee Roth has a great story of sucking before he put in the effort). Getting past your mind is key to growth. You don't need to be a great singer to be a great musician.
Pitch ,was never a problem for me ,I can listen to a complex run and correctly identify all the notes in that run .But I just cant sound like im singing when I sing.Its not that bad either (not as bad as a dying duck) ,but I just can't sound like im singing.its like im hitting the correct notes with my speaking voice and it doesn't sound pleasant.Its super frustrating.
I had the same problem, i worked on my vocal placement and it improved alot. Try watching videos about forward vocal placement. I don't know if it's possible to work on it alone or not cause i had a vocal coach helping me.
@@hakamshakir oh God they all said the same thing 🤣 ,they'll demonstrate a forward placement (their version of a forward placement!!!!🤣) they can't even sing.They'll tell you to "put the sound on your cheek,feel the vibration in the cheekbone","nyah,nyah,nyah" "nggggggGaaa,nggggggGaaa,exercises🤓".Some tell you to " lift the soft palete "," relax the soft palete",some even say ,to achieve forward placement"no air should come through the nose" but singers can hum with forward placement, it sounds warm ,beautiful and interesting ,yet all the air comes out through the nose when you hum.The more I watched these videos the more confused I become🤣.I just wanted to sound beautiful😭
@@MineCraft-nz9pg Exactly, It's way more complicated than just lifting the soft palette up. This is why i recommend doing it with a coach because it'd take way less time with someone guiding you the right way. It took me a couple of weeks to be comfortable holding that position when singing. And till now i still forget to hold it in some songs.
@@Zaken3476 oh God I have 500 plus recordings of my voice ,its much better than when I first started but I never sound like a singer ,not that I want to sound like a certain pop singer.
Getting past the cringiness of hearing your own voice recording is the hardest part imo. I feel once I get past that, I will do much better. But just like developing your voice takes time. Building the confidence also takes time!
the problem with me is that im too scared to sing loudly, like at a karaoke place with my friends id try to belt (and prob fail) but if im with strangers (even in my own room bc my walls are thin) im too scared to sing loud
The most accurate comment under this video. It took me 5 years before my voice became pleasant for me and for those around me. Thanks to daily exercise for at least 1 hour. Sometimes also 2.
I 100% agree with the recording yourself part. I have recordings all the way back from middle school (they're not amazing 😃) but not only does it help you analyze what you need to improve, it's a good way to track your progress and see how far you've come!
I'm at a point where my months old recordings is much better than how I sing now, I'm freaking out and the more I care about how I wanna become a good singer, the more bad my voice becomes, I really want to have a vocal coach but my circumstances do not agree with me, I've been listening to vocal coaches videos on RUclips for a long time now and it isn't helping much
@@lisam8608 hmm I'm not a professional by any means, but my 2 cents are maybe you're putting too much pressure on yourself. It's good to push yourself to get better but you may be forcing it. Especially if you end up imitating say maybe an artist you like. Our voices change but if you think yours is changing negatively make sure your not hurting your voice. I don't know if you wanted a response, but take it with a grain of salt :)
@@leximo_ Thank you for replying to me, it's true that I'm putting pressure on myself, I'm not trying to imitate anyone but being surrounded by poeple who are naturally gifted definitely took a toll on myself esteem, although I have a pleasant tone of voice, I don't know how to use it, how to control my breath and pitch or how to give enough support, so my voice is weak and vocal exercises isn't helping me, I know you're not a professional or anything, I just feel like I have to vent to someone about how bad my voice is :')
Its because when you speak and hear yourself speak in real life, you hear your voice differently to your actual voice. When u record your voice and play it back, you sound weird because thats your actual voice
My problem is raspiness. It's super annoying because it feels like my throat is blocking me from doing so many good things I would be able to do otherwise. I blamed it on sickness for a while (aftereffect or something) but it's been a little too long. I've tried a lot of things but it doesn't really help.
have you ever heard maya hawke sing? she sounds amazing and has a really nice raspy voice. you can get there and most of us are in the same boat as you.
I don't sing well by ANY means but what is helping me is by just practicing songs in parts (ex. certain runs or melodies), recording myself and listening back (I know listening to yourself can be cringey but it helps), experimenting with vowels (mouth positions and stuff lol)...I need a coach lol because I really want to get better.
Amazane you really are an amazing vocal tutor (positive and energetic)! I like the way you deliver your topic. You do really analysed each and every parts of sounds. I am a big fan of you.
I am in love with your coaching technique, this video spoke all about my flaws, people say i got a good voice but i don't know how to control my singing. Moreover, i really don't hear myself when i sing, thanks for the recording tip💕
I LOVE singing and music basically more than anything, and I was one of those younger kids who thought you had to be born with a good voice, but Im glade thats not true, and I 100% agree with this video!
20,000% spot on. It’s hard for me when people around me hear someone singing and think they are singing good. You know what I’m talking about they look at you and say aren’t they great aren’t they good? Well I don’t wanna pop anybody’s bubble but half the time it’s for the two reasons that you mention. First they have bad pitch and the second being that they sound badly while trying to belt songs out instead of singing them. I feel better now that I heard someone else explain it so well as you have thanks have a great day.
I have always wanted to sing the national anthem at an NHL game I love all the singers voices and I want to be there in the crowd as I say true north. The thought always runs through my mind among the other goofy things up here. I will keep practicing until i have the opportunity.
With the voice in my head I make beautiful songs. When I pick my mic, am unable to make that delivery. Is such a burden. The only time I get control over my voice is when I sing as low as though am humming. To sing any louder than that, my voice will disappear in between and some words are completely muted. When I started teaching in secondary school, I had no choice but to be at the top of my voice, these classes were quite large. I use my head voice and intentionally create distortion within my upper throat so that the entire class can here me out. I sound like 0:04. When I go home and try to sing, I noticed I can sing louder and stress free. This is a weird experience as I learned that shouting can rather ruin one's voice. I need a great singer like you to test a few existing songs. Do you offer such service? Can you be hired for a song or two? I'll appreciate any feedback s'il vous plait.
I cant sing loud and powerful i think Thats really broke my confidence about singing. If u make any video about that it can help me and other people who struggle with that. For example i never belt while singing because my voice crack
same I normally restrain my voice from going louder. Not only is it because I live in an apartment so I can’t sing loudly, but it’s also because singing loudly tends to hurt my ears.
Other aspects to remember: A. Your internal muscles need to support your singing. B. Don't constrict or force things, the clearest tones and loudest voices come most effortlessly. They come there by technique and practice, not by forcing things. C. Your upper register muscle and your lower register muscle need training, too.
I don't think I'm a bad singer but i have a hard time singing with a good technique, i also kinda destroyed my voice a few years ago by belting out notes without warming up or knowing what to doy did that for a long long time. And now meh whenever i sing i need to take rests for a few days and take strict care of my voice because it just hurts. Idk how to sing "healthy" even though I've watched so many videos on how to do that. Can't even get a vocal coach lol
I also sing i have heard a lot because im a member of choir they have a technique ill tell you thid technique STEPS 1st PUT YOU HAND IN YOUR CHEST 2nd Sing if you can feel your chest vibrating that means your doing it wrong bit if its not then your doing it right Its one of the techniques that was taught me im only ithe choir for 1 year and the thing that i thought you is one of the techniques they use to identify their singing bc when you put your palm/hand in you chest and talk normally its shaking but if your singing then its not vibrating i myself is a soprano singer it has a lot of high notes also one more thing is that make sure to make your mouth wider or bigger so your voice will actually be louder but make sure your singing right sometimes they also said if you sing and dont use your throat bc it can hurt when using high notes they say that if you can feel your head vibrating or your chest not vibrating and your jaw is bigger meaning if your mouth is wider its correct bc its needed when singing high notes
I feel like one of my main problems w singing is overall confidence. I played the flute before and my teacher told me that I had trouble getting the right sound because I lacked confidence which made it harder for me to blow an equal amount of air. Working on it tho ❤
I had a vocal couch and she is great. Our music didn’t have the vibe ya know. She had me sing stuff like My favorite things from the sound of music which is a great song but it doesn’t fit my voice because it goes higher and my voice is a pretty deep voice for a female
You need more alto stuff, maybe contralto. Maria Carey is a really technical singer but for some reason I prefer singers like Whitney Huston who can command their range at nearly all dynamic levels. No good if you can just belt a supposed 8 octaves and I find her voice harsh at times.
Definitely listen to the key and try and imitate it when you're practicing. Also for me I think being in choir helped me and the first time I listened to a voice recording of myself I felt like crawling in a hole. My aunt recently told me when I was young like about 12 she said I sang a note that made her cringe. 😂 However, she said I've improved now.
3:58 I explain this to people a lot - you can hear the parts you dislike, so you gotta try to identify how to fix it, retry saying it, and if you don't hate it as much, it's probably gotten better. WRT recording on your cellphone (tons of people in Frankfurt, Germany and artists in general here avoid recording on a phone (any instrument) saying the device is low quality, but they're just scared)
In this video it sounds really easy to learn it but after nearly 3 years of singing with a teacher I got perfectly trained just the first skill and only now starting the second one but in one thing she’s right: if you really like to sing you will never give up
The thing is I'm good at singing when I don't try so hard, like when I'm focused on something or I'm doing something I sing and I've heard ppl say I've got a good voice then when I actually take the time watch a singing video that helps my singing and I try I'm bad ._.
But i did the same mistake in my vocal lesson when my coach said more high, powerful and increase your volume, i raise my head to increase my volume but he said no, you can do more higher note with more power and volume without raising your head and he was right, i didn't move my head and i hit the high note and volume he wants me to do
I’ve been in my school choir’s student since elementary school, Choir was always my favorite class, and I had the choir teacher in high school that taught me so much Ik that Choir voice and natural singing voices are different in many ways, but I hope I can learn🩷
Thank you very much. Your video is very informative. :) I've always only had people tell me I suck, but never why or lie that I sound good, but not how. :( I don't have anyone anymore now. Other than my daughter who tells me I sound beautiful all the time. Haha Very informative and good that you say positive criticism/critique should be taken. :)
My biggest problem is not being able to control my voice. Like I can identify when there is a difference between the way I am singing and the way it actually is, like the pitch or tone or anything, but the problem is that idk how to make my voice sound like that. I sometimes go off-key and can see it but idk how to be on-key.
I have a very good high voice, like Ariana grande notes. I’m just bad at holding them. It’s undeveloped. Although I could be a good singer if I tried. My deep notes are horrible. Like the lovely from Billie elish, those notes that go, “Oh I hope some day I’ll make it out of here” I’m bad at that part but when she goes “isn’t it lovely, all alone” I’m good at that. Also, I feel that I can’t sing loud either. Any tips??
Imagine innocently singing to yourself then your mum/dad walks in and says something demeaning about your voice. I was 7 years old. Ever since then I have lost power in my voice because I have had to sing quietly, like really quietly.
I have a range of around 2 octaves, and I can sing on tune, but I feel like my voice when I sing just sounds really ordinary... 😭 kind of like how I talk normally? How do I develop a more pleasant kind of voice? Like how you have a kind of honeyed tone lol how do you do that? I'm half-Filo myself (tho i grew up elsewhere) and i've never understood how you do this.
I kinda understand the devolpe part, when I was 5 all the way until recently when I decided to record me singing for the first time I found out my singing voice improved, then I strained my voice less than a month later. This was cringey but I showed my mum my voice recording showing her I knew how to sing hoping she can fix it. Then I asked if I used to sing that well a while agoqnd she said no. I literally devolped an okay singing voice in short time that's passed from singing Encanto songs 😭😭😭.
I love this. As an amateur singer trying to work my way pro all I hear daily is obsessive annoying comments about how my pitch is off. It literally is all people can fixate on yet not once have I ever been told my tone is bad. Not once.. yet I continue to be ridiculed and shamed for my struggle with pitch. My vibrato and power can knock down an apartment complex yet it's never noted or taken into any consideration. What I invite people to understand is tone does matter just the same. I agree pitch is important but as illustrated in this video you can have bang in pitch but if the rest isn't there then it really doesn't matter. Pitch is NOT everything.
I have zero knowledge of music ile i never learn music or took a class of it from kindergarten to college i even don’t know what the DO RE MI sounds like So where should i start??? Does learning instruments (guitar)helps to know the keys and pitch???
Just listened to 2 podcasts of u Zane 😊really helpful - all about singing passion & you tube for beginners - like your style - wit - passion many thanks x will try a few hash tag tips ! ❤
I have a very deep and gravely or vibrating type of voice. It’s very hard to make my voice even sound smooth, and much harder to sing at an even slightly high pitch. How should I fix it?
I have a great tone and i can hear when im off pitch, but i find it so hard to find the correct notes. Ill know it sounds wrong and it just takes me so long to find the correct note, especially a starting note. Sometimes i have to get someone else to help me find the note, and even then, i find it so hard to remember how the note feels so its a cycle 💀
I've wanted to be a singer since I was 4. I'm 13 now. I don't know if I can make it. I've always wanted to. This is my 4th year doing chorus and I'm trying to start singing lessons. I want to get better. I started writing songs when I was 6. I had a passion for music for years now but I don't know if I could make it. I'm not a good singer, normal for a 13 year old girl I guess though, but I want to into to music more than anything and it's the one thing I don't think I'll ever give up on. I don't know what to do and I know it's a hard career to get into but it's been a passion of mine almost my entire life. I don't really actually want to do any other career. I don't want to give up but sometimes I don't think I can make it. I don't know what the hell to do.
I have a question, what about a singing coach? How do we find one? Going through the lessons online won't help use figure out our issues if no one is there to help identify issues 😅
I need to ask one question my voice is too bad even it's not listenable if I'll sing so is my voice sound good if I'll do exercise of singing (sorry for bad English I'm from India so i only know Hindi)
I personally think I’m a good singer. I come from a musical family, my moms a singer . I also play the violin and I’m told that I have a good ear by many people even professionals. I’ve had a few choir classes when I was little nothing to extreme and I’ve had private singing lessons before and the teacher said I have a good voice. The only thing I honestly think I need to get better at is my vibrato. I can sometimes do it but not on command. Or I can do it on command but it doesn’t come out as strong. I have a good ear, I can identify an off key pitch or one key one. I just need to practice my vibrato more 😭
ah i know how i can go in high note, i can do high note, i have soprano voice, but i can't do belting, neither run and riff, i can sing ballad with high note as a beginner but i don't try at all mariah carey etc as a beginner, i can't do that, i don't have the technique! And i sing with my head high voice that sounds sweet and i like it
The thing is a good chunk of singing is in my opinion “a god given talent”. Some people have tone deafness so they cant hear when they are off pitch, therefore that cant sing correctly. But then again just because someone can hear if they’re off key or on key doesn’t mean hey sing correctly or good, which takes time developing your voice and learning good singing posture and technique to achieve a good singing voice
What about timing as a vocalist or singer? Whether you are a singer in the studio or during a live performance, how do you fix that? I see a lot of people who struggle with that operation of singing, rapping, or screaming. Not me, I think I can hold my own in all fields of voice.
I can do high note and sing vibrato but my vibrato isn't stable, when i have my singing lesson i understand why, i breath with my upper body whe i sing so i raise my soulder and i didn't see it before my coach pointed my bad habbit to singing andadvise me to breath with my belly! I did it and my vibrato sounds more stable, i was happy to see my improvement
As a kid i always wanted to sing better and improve myself, and i agree that the cringe and confidence is the hardest part. But in the end i went from never singing at all to litteraly making my family crazy by singing so much. I got over the cringeness by time and now i have a better voice, you just have to get past it!!
Hi ! How you release the timid part of yourself (kinda feeling of shame) to totally invest your words, meaning it and emotions... the character cuz you have to play a bit what you sing. Thx !
I can sing on pitch, that’s not a problem. But having a pleasant voice is hard. Not even my speaking voice is pleasant, and there are also certain words I can not say well, and it sounds even worse when I’m singing. I don’t know how to solve that problem.
I'm a male I sing Xanny on my fender 12 string acoustic I find verses 1 and 2 no problem until I get to the bit 'Please don't try to kiss me on the sidewalk etc been trying to get the timing and voice changes right all week so it sounds similar to the way Billie sings it . Its mostly the bit after 'I cant afford to love someone and holding the note then making the change to. 'Who isn't dying by mistake in silver lake I want to get the timing correct on this part,its driving me crazy keep doing recordings with loads of takes, I did get one that sounded not bad but could be better! I can play 6 of Billie's songs, need help ?😂🏴
i have a good sense of pitch and i have a vocal coach now. Before going to a vocal coach, i know my voice is high-pitch when i talk and when i sing, i like to sing ballad with high note, i have a soprano voice so it's easy for me and it's harder to me to go to low voice! My coach teached me if the piano note is high or low and i reproduce the sound, that helps me

Work on vocal cord closure to smooth things out. That said, you probably have a naturally raspy aspect to your voice and that’s great too!
I don't sing well by ANY means but what is helping me is by just practicing songs in parts (ex. certain runs or melodies), recording myself and listening back (I know listening to yourself can be cringey but it helps), experimenting with vowels (mouth positions and stuff lol)...I need a coach lol because I really want to get better.

I don't think I'm a bad singer but i have a hard time singing with a good technique, i also kinda destroyed my voice a few years ago by belting out notes without warming up or knowing what to doy did that for a long long time. And now meh whenever i sing i need to take rests for a few days and take strict care of my voice because it just hurts. Idk how to sing "healthy" even though I've watched so many videos on how to do that. Can't even get a vocal coach lol
Warm water, honey & lemon 🍋 🍯
I also sing i have heard a lot because im a member of choir they have a technique ill tell you thid technique
STEPS
1st PUT YOU HAND IN YOUR CHEST
2nd Sing if you can feel your chest vibrating that means your doing it wrong bit if its not then your doing it right
Its one of the techniques that was taught me im only ithe choir for 1 year and the thing that i thought you is one of the techniques they use to identify their singing bc when you put your palm/hand in you chest and talk normally its shaking but if your singing then its not vibrating i myself is a soprano singer it has a lot of high notes also one more thing is that make sure to make your mouth wider or bigger so your voice will actually be louder but make sure your singing right sometimes they also said if you sing and dont use your throat bc it can hurt when using high notes they say that if you can feel your head vibrating or your chest not vibrating and your jaw is bigger meaning if your mouth is wider its correct bc its needed when singing high notes
I feel like one of my main problems w singing is overall confidence. I played the flute before and my teacher told me that I had trouble getting the right sound because I lacked confidence which made it harder for me to blow an equal amount of air. Working on it tho ❤
I had a vocal couch and she is great. Our music didn’t have the vibe ya know. She had me sing stuff like My favorite things from the sound of music which is a great song but it doesn’t fit my voice because it goes higher and my voice is a pretty deep voice for a female
You need more alto stuff, maybe contralto. Maria Carey is a really technical singer but for some reason I prefer singers like Whitney Huston who can command their range at nearly all dynamic levels. No good if you can just belt a supposed 8 octaves and I find her voice harsh at times.
@@phoenixrising4995 I’m actually a soprano so I guess I just need to Tailor the song to my voice with shouldnt be too hard
love your bad singing example, it is so bright youthfull and sweet , much love
Definitely listen to the key and try and imitate it when you're practicing. Also for me I think being in choir helped me and the first time I listened to a voice recording of myself I felt like crawling in a hole. My aunt recently told me when I was young like about 12 she said I sang a note that made her cringe. 😂 However, she said I've improved now.
😂😂😂
3:58 I explain this to people a lot - you can hear the parts you dislike, so you gotta try to identify how to fix it, retry saying it, and if you don't hate it as much, it's probably gotten better.
WRT recording on your cellphone (tons of people in Frankfurt, Germany and artists in general here avoid recording on a phone (any instrument) saying the device is low quality, but they're just scared)
In this video it sounds really easy to learn it but after nearly 3 years of singing with a teacher I got perfectly trained just the first skill and only now starting the second one but in one thing she’s right: if you really like to sing you will never give up
The thing is I'm good at singing when I don't try so hard, like when I'm focused on something or I'm doing something I sing and I've heard ppl say I've got a good voice
then when I actually take the time watch a singing video that helps my singing and I try I'm bad ._.
I’m the same. Everytime I step infront of the mic I’m like FFS where has it gone!
@@RRADOMAL lmaoo exactlyyyy
Amazing singer Zane she have a beautiful voice Keep it up girl 👍
Your are a really nice person , love your way of explaining 💕✨
Really great video! This helped a ton!
But i did the same mistake in my vocal lesson when my coach said more high, powerful and increase your volume, i raise my head to increase my volume but he said no, you can do more higher note with more power and volume without raising your head and he was right, i didn't move my head and i hit the high note and volume he wants me to do
The problem for me is I keep singing with my throat
Same
Same, but I think to fix that you can take a deep breath before singing.
@@HEEHEE661 ok thanks
Hell yaas , I’m so excited that you’re coming back,
Idk why but whenever i record myself it sounds so bad but in my head it sounds good-
👁👄👁
I have a video explaining that!!
@@AmaZaneChannel oh thanks for telling me😊
Wow
@@AmaZaneChannelWhat's it called?
Because you are hearing through your bones, the recording version is more accurate for how other people hear you
I’ve been in my school choir’s student since elementary school, Choir was always my favorite class, and I had the choir teacher in high school that taught me so much
Ik that Choir voice and natural singing voices are different in many ways, but I hope I can learn🩷
Thank you very much.
Your video is very informative. :)
I've always only had people tell me I suck, but never why or lie that I sound good, but not how.
:(
I don't have anyone anymore now. Other than my daughter who tells me I sound beautiful all the time. Haha
Very informative and good that you say positive criticism/critique should be taken. :)
I love you😭😭😭😭thanks for this
I'm usually on pitch and my tone isn't bad either but I feel like my voice just needs to be stronger, more powerful and supported.
Thank you so much for that! God bless you! ❤
The problem is also to hit high notes and just get better at singing is by singing from your stomach, not ur throat.
Who is not a singer but still watching? 😂😂

I’m kinda like that but I only do it sometimes i only know how to control my notes bc humming a song like the Apollo part in god games
Ad before this video: “The problem is people try to learn how to sing from random RUclips videos!”
Me: 👁👄👁
My biggest problem is not being able to control my voice. Like I can identify when there is a difference between the way I am singing and the way it actually is, like the pitch or tone or anything, but the problem is that idk how to make my voice sound like that. I sometimes go off-key and can see it but idk how to be on-key.
very nice approach and great state of mind, thank you !
I don’t know I'm a good singer or not but mostly in your channel you are so beautiful. I fall in 🥰🤧
I have a very good high voice, like Ariana grande notes. I’m just bad at holding them. It’s undeveloped. Although I could be a good singer if I tried. My deep notes are horrible. Like the lovely from Billie elish, those notes that go, “Oh I hope some day I’ll make it out of here” I’m bad at that part but when she goes “isn’t it lovely, all alone” I’m good at that. Also, I feel that I can’t sing loud either. Any tips??
Thanks so much this is sooo encouraging🤓
One thing that helped me accept my voice I hear in recordings is singing along with the recording.
Thankyou so much. I am a beginner to singing . I love singing everytime I am free.🙂
The one with the bad “tone” kinda reminded me of Brittany Spears 🫣
Thanks very much for your great advice!
Imagine innocently singing to yourself then your mum/dad walks in and says something demeaning about your voice. I was 7 years old. Ever since then I have lost power in my voice because I have had to sing quietly, like really quietly.
Yup. My mother was the one who was the worst.
I have a range of around 2 octaves, and I can sing on tune, but I feel like my voice when I sing just sounds really ordinary... 😭 kind of like how I talk normally? How do I develop a more pleasant kind of voice? Like how you have a kind of honeyed tone lol how do you do that? I'm half-Filo myself (tho i grew up elsewhere) and i've never understood how you do this.
I kinda understand the devolpe part, when I was 5 all the way until recently when I decided to record me singing for the first time I found out my singing voice improved, then I strained my voice less than a month later. This was cringey but I showed my mum my voice recording showing her I knew how to sing hoping she can fix it. Then I asked if I used to sing that well a while agoqnd she said no.
I literally devolped an okay singing voice in short time that's passed from singing Encanto songs 😭😭😭.
SINGING COMES FROM UR EMOTIONS
LIKE IT SOMETIMES JUST COMES OT OF YOU THE WAY U LIKE IT AND IT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD
I love this. As an amateur singer trying to work my way pro all I hear daily is obsessive annoying comments about how my pitch is off. It literally is all people can fixate on yet not once have I ever been told my tone is bad. Not once.. yet I continue to be ridiculed and shamed for my struggle with pitch. My vibrato and power can knock down an apartment complex yet it's never noted or taken into any consideration. What I invite people to understand is tone does matter just the same. I agree pitch is important but as illustrated in this video you can have bang in pitch but if the rest isn't there then it really doesn't matter. Pitch is NOT everything.
Thank you for the encouragement that anyone can sing well T-T
Literally me, getting humiliated by everyone for poor singing skills at school, learning how to sing in the middle of the night 🙂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Singing is a melodic way of speaking".. gold
I have zero knowledge of music ile i never learn music or took a class of it from kindergarten to college i even don’t know what the DO RE MI sounds like
So where should i start???
Does learning instruments (guitar)helps to know the keys and pitch???
Your voice is amazing❤.
Can you please talk on how can a person sing in voice vibration, voice range and voice flexibility.
Just listened to 2 podcasts of u Zane 😊really helpful - all about singing passion & you tube for beginners - like your style - wit - passion many thanks x will try a few hash tag tips ! ❤
I have a very deep and gravely or vibrating type of voice. It’s very hard to make my voice even sound smooth, and much harder to sing at an even slightly high pitch. How should I fix it?
Mam i have b flat voice so what type of song should i choise to singing and how to improve my vocals ?? Plzzz reply mam 😢❤❤
One thing about singing is the spirit and mood also.
"How To Be A Good Singer"
The video: "Don't sing bad and try this website"
K thx I guess
Good vs underdeveloped!! I LIVE for that ❤
I have a great tone and i can hear when im off pitch, but i find it so hard to find the correct notes. Ill know it sounds wrong and it just takes me so long to find the correct note, especially a starting note. Sometimes i have to get someone else to help me find the note, and even then, i find it so hard to remember how the note feels so its a cycle 💀
When she showed that video of her straining her voice it made my throat hurt
I've wanted to be a singer since I was 4. I'm 13 now. I don't know if I can make it. I've always wanted to. This is my 4th year doing chorus and I'm trying to start singing lessons. I want to get better. I started writing songs when I was 6. I had a passion for music for years now but I don't know if I could make it. I'm not a good singer, normal for a 13 year old girl I guess though, but I want to into to music more than anything and it's the one thing I don't think I'll ever give up on. I don't know what to do and I know it's a hard career to get into but it's been a passion of mine almost my entire life. I don't really actually want to do any other career. I don't want to give up but sometimes I don't think I can make it. I don't know what the hell to do.
thank you for the tips! May God bless you ❤
I have a question, what about a singing coach? How do we find one? Going through the lessons online won't help use figure out our issues if no one is there to help identify issues 😅
I need to ask one question my voice is too bad even it's not listenable if I'll sing so is my voice sound good if I'll do exercise of singing (sorry for bad English I'm from India so i only know Hindi)
I personally think I’m a good singer. I come from a musical family, my moms a singer . I also play the violin and I’m told that I have a good ear by many people even professionals. I’ve had a few choir classes when I was little nothing to extreme and I’ve had private singing lessons before and the teacher said I have a good voice. The only thing I honestly think I need to get better at is my vibrato. I can sometimes do it but not on command. Or I can do it on command but it doesn’t come out as strong. I have a good ear, I can identify an off key pitch or one key one. I just need to practice my vibrato more 😭
Tama! Very well said, practice makes perfect and thats also what im doing
ah i know how i can go in high note, i can do high note, i have soprano voice, but i can't do belting, neither run and riff, i can sing ballad with high note as a beginner but i don't try at all mariah carey etc as a beginner, i can't do that, i don't have the technique! And i sing with my head high voice that sounds sweet and i like it
Good singing is talent wise
The thing is a good chunk of singing is in my opinion “a god given talent”. Some people have tone deafness so they cant hear when they are off pitch, therefore that cant sing correctly. But then again just because someone can hear if they’re off key or on key doesn’t mean hey sing correctly or good, which takes time developing your voice and learning good singing posture and technique to achieve a good singing voice
That was a good video ! 👍🏾 Niice
What about timing as a vocalist or singer? Whether you are a singer in the studio or during a live performance, how do you fix that? I see a lot of people who struggle with that operation of singing, rapping, or screaming. Not me, I think I can hold my own in all fields of voice.
I gotten my adenoids removed as a kid so it’s hard for me too sing, but I don’t wanna give up on my dreams.
I can do high note and sing vibrato but my vibrato isn't stable, when i have my singing lesson i understand why, i breath with my upper body whe i sing so i raise my soulder and i didn't see it before my coach pointed my bad habbit to singing andadvise me to breath with my belly! I did it and my vibrato sounds more stable, i was happy to see my improvement
Do you give classes Zane? How can I sign up?
As a kid i always wanted to sing better and improve myself, and i agree that the cringe and confidence is the hardest part. But in the end i went from never singing at all to litteraly making my family crazy by singing so much. I got over the cringeness by time and now i have a better voice, you just have to get past it!!
Nice initiative ! Congratulations from India.
Hi ! How you release the timid part of yourself (kinda feeling of shame) to totally invest your words, meaning it and emotions... the character cuz you have to play a bit what you sing.
Thx !
People always say not to record yourself though… 👭
Why not?
Nice video thanks madam,make more videos like this on same Topic.
I would like to see more of you teaching others
this is even better when you’ve seen the first video before this
wow you're really good at this. and very pleasant asmr speaking voice too
I have a small point We have Maqamat in Arabic singing Is English singing different from Arabic singing in the positions of the musical scale?
I can sing on pitch, that’s not a problem. But having a pleasant voice is hard. Not even my speaking voice is pleasant, and there are also certain words I can not say well, and it sounds even worse when I’m singing. I don’t know how to solve that problem.
I'm a male I sing Xanny on my fender 12 string acoustic I find verses 1 and 2 no problem until I get to the bit 'Please don't try to kiss me on the sidewalk etc been trying to get the timing and voice changes right all week so it sounds similar to the way Billie sings it . Its mostly the bit after 'I cant afford to love someone and holding the note then making the change to. 'Who isn't dying by mistake in silver lake I want to get the timing correct on this part,its driving me crazy keep doing recordings with loads of takes, I did get one that sounded not bad but could be better! I can play 6 of Billie's songs, need help ?😂🏴
i have a good sense of pitch and i have a vocal coach now. Before going to a vocal coach, i know my voice is high-pitch when i talk and when i sing, i like to sing ballad with high note, i have a soprano voice so it's easy for me and it's harder to me to go to low voice! My coach teached me if the piano note is high or low and i reproduce the sound, that helps me
