Ingrid Andress: Tiny Desk Concert

    Ingrid Andress performs and speaks with a humility that feels inversely proportional to the scale of her success. Given that she's already received four Grammy nominations, and that her team had to navigate NPR's busy and construction-forward D.C. neighborhood in a tour bus only slightly smaller than an aircraft carrier, that adds up to a fair bit of humility.
    For Andress, writing songs often means having to explain yourself. Between songs at the Tiny Desk, she wrangled with her place in country music - as a Colorado-bred singer-songwriter who sings and speaks without a twang - and with the truths she's capturing and conjuring in her songs. "Yearbook," about a curdled high-school romance, appears to be about her parents, but that required an explanation, too: "I always have to say, it's not about my parents. Because they really want everyone to know that. So, it sounds like it's about them. But when I write songs, sometimes I take from things that I have observed - like, other people's stories."
    All three of the songs she played at the Tiny Desk - "Yearbook," her 2020 breakthrough ballad "More Hearts Than Mine" and her current country hit "Feel Like This" - have ways of digging up clear-headed truths, no matter how she came about locating them. "Feel Like This" captures what Andress describes as an uncharacteristic sense of optimism, while returning to one of her favorite themes: the radical change that comes with shedding the toxicity of bad relationships.

    My first producer told me, “Find the kinds of songs you sound great singing and just do those. If someone begs you to sing Happy Birthday and you don’t sound good doing it, don’t do it.” Best advice I ever got. Her voice just may not be suited to The National Anthem.

      Well it’s obvious here that her voice falls into a new category of “oh yeah you’re voice is pretty!” mixed with current production technology. Horrible voices like hers which sound ever so slightly decent at low volume, lacking any capacity for projection, can be turned decent by autotune and other devices. The standard of voice quality has diminished tremendously because of this.

    From a singer:
    1) she strains a lot, I noticed this throughout. No wonder it was hard to reach the higher notes on the anthem. Primarily singing in her chest voice, and doesn’t seem to have proficiency in her upper registers to properly belt the higher notes.
    2) doesn’t have a lot of control over her voice and seems to have difficulty with runs, which shows she is way too tight with her voice/neck/jaw muscles and doesn’t place her voice properly - causing her not to have control, and causes a lot of STRAINING ugh - can’t imagine how raw her voice gets.
    She has a lot of potential in her voice. She is a good lyricist, and her voice is great for folk/country songs. She has a great storytelling voice. However, to do a more demanding song, like the anthem, it’s so hard with throaty chest voice singing lacking proper placing and super strainy. And she doesn’t use proper diaphragm breathing which makes belting and control so hard…But she is good at what she does in her career, let’s get that straight.

      Thanks for this, totally agree. She might be a great writer and lyricist, no comment there. In terms of vocal difficulty, this is something a choir of 3rd graders would sing. It sounds ok. It is pitchy and shaky on the highest notes here. Lots of nasal heard. And it's a small number of notes. Speaky vocals work for some stuff but certainly not for the anthem. The anthem is a difficult song vocally.
      After hearing the anthem, I question whether she has had any substantial music or vocal training. There are many talented and trained vocalists (try any college vocal program) who would give a limb to sing the anthem at a large event.

    • @PearlsandDenim
      @PearlsandDenim 2 месяца назад +4

      The National Anthem actually requires a larger range vocally. I didn't realize this until a music teacher friend told me. I've sung it multiple times for my alma mater, my local college for mostly basketball games. I knew if I didn't start low enough it would be more difficult but it's one of my favorite songs to sing. Always makes me sad to hear it not sung well. It didn't sound like she practiced much or possibly she had been drinking or was so nervous lost her notes. Some people really don't do well acapella 🤷 But hey... It got a lot of new views on her videos! 😂

And yes, the National Anthem does require a larger range. She's not a bad singer by any means in her genre. It was just a bad night fueled by a poor choice she's working on fixing.

    The National Anthem is deceptively hard. It exposes a lot of singers.
    The range of the song is an octave + 5 notes, (it's 2 full octaves if you want to do the extra high note on "land of the freeeee"). Listening to these songs played here, the tessitura is an octave or less and the range maxes out at an octave + 3 notes. Additionally her "belt" tone is not connected to her breath support--it's done with straining or pinching the vocal folds.
    If any part of your vocal tone isn't connected to your breath, or you have poor breath management (her breathy tone is healthier than her belt, but the breathiness means that there is a lot of unused/wasted breath in her tone)......it will HUMBLE you. The National Anthem is hard, folks.
    I hope she gets with a vocal coach to hone healthier vocal production.

    Now that I've heard her, I'm not surprised she couldn't handle the National Anthem. That song is honestly quite hard and should really only be sung by people with powerhouse voices. You know, if they asked Taylor Swift to sing the National Anthem the same thing would probably happen. She seems to a lot like Taylor in that neither of them sing all that well, but they are great song writers. You barely have to be able to sing to be a succesful singer in contemporary music, as long as you can get the "vibe" right.

    Yes, I came to this video for the same reason you guys did. :-) First song is lovely with a strong Nashville lyric. She had two other co-writers on it, so, as artist, it’s difficult to know how much were her contributions. She has an appealing voice, though small, which could use a bit of training. She certainly has some talent and I wish her well. The business is tough enough as is, so I hope she gets her act together- the Nat’l Anthem was truly abysmal! FWIW, i’ve been a professional musician nearly all of my long life, including a stint as a Nashville songwriter for 10 years.

  • @auroracrisp4251
    @auroracrisp4251 2 месяца назад +8

    I had never heard of this woman before seeing people trash talking her national anthem online and seeing this video, it's apparent that she just has a very limited vocal range and writes around it.
    Her lyrics are great and that's likely what got her as far as she is in the music industry (along with being conventionally attractive, of course). Her style is mostly speak-singing because of that lack of range, and during choruses and such when she does have higher notes, the flatness comes out.
    The star spangled banner is notorious for being hard to sing because it has a 12 note range and not everybody was born with that and needs training to achieve that. It's apparent in this video that she hasn't had that training but that's okay because that's not her priority.
    Her priority seems to be storytelling, which is also valuable in this industry. She would probably be more successful as only a songwriter and not a singer but if she wants to sing, let her sing! As long as she continues to only sing songs that are within her range, there shouldn't be a repeat of that baseball game.

    • @SabrinaMRood
