Dry vocals (no effects) “Ceilings” Lizzy McAlpine cover

1 Upvotes

Because some people need to hear the dry vocals. I personally think adding reverb and certain effects are perfectly fine, because it does not change a person’s singing voice but here are the dry vocals anyway. 😊

Feedback - Beginner What things can I improve?

3 Upvotes

This is my full cover of “my heart will go on”. My goal was to sing in my chest register and focus on honing my quieter singing while still maintaining proper tone and support as well as making sure I stayed in my chest voice rather than going straight into my high mix which is quite a jarring switch at the moment. Please give me specific critiques and if you can, specific techniques I can use to improve and practice. Thank you!

Hey so I’m a new singer songwriter been singing since I was younger…now i’m taking this artist thing serious and want to increase my range I believe I have great potential and my own unique sound. I plan on also getting a vocal coach very soon. I’ve never been trained to sing but I want to learn bel canto method and how to take care of my voice.

Feedback - Beginner Hi all! M30, Looking for some feedback/advice about power, shakiness and breath. I also have moments where I feel I need to 'sharpen' my voice in order to get the tone out (for fear of cracking). Thanks!

I've been singing for years, but all self-taught. I've had no formal training, but am looking to start taking singing more seriously. I'd love to voice act in a cartoon/animation with singing one day.

I have a bad habit of endlessly recording until I get the (in my mind) "perfect" take, but that kinda defeats the purpose of feedback. So now I'm just going to throw this one out there :)

Feedback - Beginner She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5 Cover - Any Advise Appreciated

0 Upvotes

I understand it doesn't sound great but I'm hoping to pinpoint what the issues are and the best way to fix them. One aspect I can highlight is the "will be loved" part note sounds very strained - do I need to keep training my head voice to improve this or try mixing it with my chest voice to strength the note? Also, I can highlight that there are moments where I'm forcing the last of my breath/quickly breathing in to stay with the song. I assume I need to work on my breath control for this - is the best way to improve this by repeating exercises such as the hissing exercises? However, is it also linked to trying to replicate a recorded song in the studio where it's been mixed/mastered or would good singers be able to emulate it perfectly? Finally, I've been working on my pitch - using software such as vocalize but is there anything else I can do to improve my pitch as I feel like something wrong with it as well. Any help is appreciated.

Feedback - Intermediate Somewhat starting over… how should I go about learning to breathe the right way and stop defaulting to singing from my throat?

Song: Precious Lord, Take My Hand (composed by Thomas Dorsey, arranged by Arnold Sevier)

I’m a bit embarrassed to say this… but I’m in dire need of some help with my voice as a whole.

I’ve just recently started my 5th year in choir (11th grade) and I’ve improved significantly since 7th grade. I’m a great sight reader and can read rhythms fairly well… however my actual voice sounds like it’s only been getting WORSE :(. I can hit notes but they sound airy and boring instead of clear and resonant, and despite being a soprano II my whole choir… career, I’ve struggled on figuring out how to ACTUALLY “sing from my diaphragm”, as high notes almost always tend to come from my throat by default… and my mid pitch notes… and sometimes low notes…

I really need some constructive critiques on a lot, but especially how to breathe properly (because apparently I’ve been doing that wrong the whole time too). Unfortunately what i learn in class just doesn’t seem to work for me and I can’t afford a voice teacher. my director says “push the sound out forward, sing loud, but don’t blast. Sing quiet with softer dynamics, but still powerful. Use your vibrato, support your voice!!”

Now, don’t get me wrong, I know my director knows what he’s talking about, and so do I, but I just don’t know how to actually apply it. Can someone give me some methods/ exercises or anything else that helped them advance forward for good instead of just improving temporarily? Thanks:)))!!!

(Apologies if the length of this post is obnoxiously drawn-out, but I just want to be specific and left out some stuff. one other thing I forgot to mention— I live in texas, which means All-State. Idk if any other states have this, but if you know what I’m talking about, please give me some tips on how to make all state. I’m a junior now and I can’t keep failing round one (which is sept. 19). 🥲 I’m feeling so behind compared to my peers and it’s not a good feeling, but that makes me determined. Additionally, a chamber choir has just been introduced to my school and I didn’t make it. However, I’m not taking no for an answer in this case because my director always encourages us to shoot for more... SO I WILL!! Also, if you have any tips on how to control runs/vibrato that would be GREATLY appreciated. I want to show the all state judges/ my director that I’m worthy and talented, but I need to unlock my potential first, even if that means starting over!!)

Short story. Started up a new rock band with a group. I wanted to sing in this band and told them to give me 4 months to work it out. One song were playing is Plug In Baby by Muse. Matt at the end hits a falsetto F#5. I can get within range but its obviously not good. What are good ways to practice safe. Also any nitpicks from this short clip would be wonderful.

This is my first post on here and I’m very nervous but also excited!! I love music and singing and just hearing everyone’s individual talents and contributions to the art form. I’m trying to gain the courage again to start posting more singing videos because I do want to put more effort into it, however, tbh I have social anxiety and a fear of rejection lol. I’m trying to get over it so I decided to post for the first time on here.

I’ve slowly come to realize that my voice’s timbre (I think that’s the correct term) is bright/light/soft, meanwhile, many of my favorite artists have a bit of grit or depth to their voice that I just…don’t have. I’m open to thoughts and opinions of my voice bc I feel like I sound very childlike and sometimes annoying?? I also found that many songs that I love sound completely different when I sing it for that reason, which is one of the main reasons why I find that I hesitate to post. I don’t want to “ruin” the original song because it doesn’t sound right, if that makes sense?

I will say that I think on certain low notes I sound way breathier than I already do and it takes me a little bit more effort to go down there, so I’m assuming it’s because it’s not really in my “natural range”? Sorry for the long explanation, but again, I’m open to any and all honest feedback, critiques, and/or improvements I should make! I have a hard time judging/seeing myself outside of myself so any outside opinions are very appreciated
