  • But why am I showing you this?
    I started to sing on January 2021 when I was 14.
    That was something I always wanted to do but because of that it was also something I was always running away from. I basically lied to myself saying that i hate singing even though I exactly knew deep down that I want to sing well. But one day i saw how a certain person sang which eventually broke the barrier which was keeping me from doing it. I then started to practise everyday by myself through UA-cam videos because I couldn’t tell anyone. I had to force myself everysingle day to face my terrible terrible voice which always let me doubt if I would achieve a level of good singing. It was crucial. My voice was something I was most ashamed of. But I never stopped doing because I had faith. I wasn’t born with a singing voice but I decided to still chase after it because the chance of seeing the outcome is enough to convince me. I know my voice now is not brilliant but it’s better than yesterday and the day before and when I began. Im working on it. And I will get better.
    Before I was able to sing a right note I said to myself that I believe that hard work can surpass talent.
    And because of that I believe you can also.
    What I showed you was a glimpse of my Vocal journey. You can furthermore witness my progress through the several covers I already uploaded here on my Channel.
    I also started to release my own music where you can see how much my Vocals has transformed.

    Check out my current SINGING VOICE with my newest song I made by myself: open.spotify.com/track/3lyTBB1JLuPsuj8vES3cjX?si=55528815086e4f6e
    And check out my current SINGING VOICE on my new Music video: ua-cam.com/video/WZtZ75X8grQ/v-deo.htmlsi=2w4gn0ry6-r8nF4X
    I am so overwhelmed by the amount of support and touching words here in the comments also in my instagram Dm’s and my Email. All of that is just too much for a 16 year old like me to handle. 2 years ago, when I wasn’t able to hit one single note properly and just sounded like a tyrannosaurus rex laying eggs, I said with so much fear, doubt and desperation but most importantly with confidence that I will prove to myself and to the world that hard work can surpass talent. That 14 year old David said he will inspire millions of people one day.
    Fast forward to now 1320 beautiful people decided to follow my journey and 100.000 have watched this video with 6500 liking this video.
    Without God's help nothing would be possible. All Glory to Him.
    THANK YOU
    But this singing journey of mine is one of the few things I worked on disciplined I also worked on my music producing, composing, songwriting, editing and playing all the instruments such as
    Piano, Drums, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Electric Guitar and Saxophone skills in those 2 years where I also can make this kind of transformation video.
    I decided to work very hard on those aspects to create my own songs by myself. And Im very happy to tell you that 2 SONGS are already OUT

    I even put more effort into my songs because not only my singing skills are required but all of my other skills. Its especially really hard because I’m doing everything by myself.
    I know it sounds like an annoying Promotion but it would mean the world to me if you can support that since I’m VERY desperate because my lack of marketing skills.
    So please feel free to E-mail me: davidtran06@web.de
    Or DM me: instagram.com/david.tran06/
    Also I saw many comments saying that I should work on my belting because it sounds like I’m screaming. Thank you so much for pointing out and also giving me tips!
    I am no brilliant singer yet I do know that. I know what I need to work on. I will get better trust me.
    Since many people asked what I do to train my voice…
    What I did was watching A LOOT of UA-cam videos such as „how to improve singing“ After watching that I started to sing songs I love everyday and then realized where my weaknesses are in singing which was for example breathing properly and runs and riffs also singing high, falsetto and all that so I made a Plan. Like a workout plan. The UA-camr “Jacobs vocal academy” saved my life he has a looot of videos of like “Chest voice workout, falsetto workout, runs and riffs workout“ and so on.
    So I made a Plan which consists a certain different vocal workout everyday.
    For example Monday: Chest voice Tuesday: Head voice
    Wednesday: mixed voice And so on… I also included the „daily beginner vocal exercises“ which I really recommend.
    Before every workout I did a vocal warm up also from “Jacobs vocal academy and after the actual workout I did a cool down.
    And after all that workout I sang many songs with Piano or guitar to practise actually singing songs. It’s very hard to force yourself every single day to do your plan which you will put together yourself.
    You have to be Consistent that’s key.

Practice the extent of your voice, once you can use it on command just put soul and musicality then congrats your a singer.

      @@farah-bk9lfno, don’t give up! Everybody can improve, with know-how and practice. Take some lessons with a teacher. If you’re having trouble with talking also, that probably means (but I’m guessing because I haven’t heard you) you are not breathing enough and not using your air efficiently. Speak and sing using your breath and air flow. Gently blow over your finger and make sure you have a similar airflow when singing. Take better breaths and speak/sing with energy. Again, I’m guessing. Good luck, hope it helps some. But I suggest voice lessons.

    Hey man, it's normal to feel frustrated. I've been singing basically since I was born and took a bit of voice lessons. And I noticed that alot of ur problem really stems from ur anxiety. I recommend trying to relax even on high notes. It will feel a little awkward and counter intuitive since you wanna be louder and higher, but when you try to sing louder and essentially scream the song, it leads to poor control and technique. I hope this helps, keep it up king.

      @@goldenhourss The ugly truth is that our recordings will always sound worse than what we hear 😔. But regarding support. Besides just learning songs and making sure to take breaths between lines. While breathing, you expand ur stomach but not ur chest. This ensures ur chest has breathing room and lets you have better control. If ur struggling to take in air fast while singing, another tip is to breathe with ur nose and ur mouth at the same time. I personally don't do this as I don't really struggle with breath management nowadays. Hope it helps

      I'm 54 now, started 19 months ago, It was a long painful UA-cam journey for me, loads of frustrations along the way, but here I am today and I can pretty much sing 95% of most songs now. If your going to do it, just save some cash and get vocal lessons. I managed to do it via UA-cam and Various Online Courses, but if I could go back in time now, 12 lessons would have given me enough to correct all the things I was doing wrong. I can now sing low, high, mixed voice, it all came together for me, so it is definitely possible, as long as you still have a head voice, i.e, can talk like mickey mouse, its not too late to be able to belt high notes, in a fuller sounding chesty mix, once you learn how to do it.

    I don’t think anyone should ever be ashamed of their voice. You know the saying that the eyes are the gateway to the soul, for me, the voice is the gateway to the heart. This timeline of your voice is a reflection of how you’ve grown as a person, even if I don’t know what you’ve been through. My point is as humans we all grow, our hearts mend more easily as the more pain we feel the more we are able to come to terms with it and be stronger. We become better people much like our voice becomes better.
    The voice is a reflection of you, your identity and what you love, and from what I can hear… it’s bloody beautiful mate, keep it up ❤

My point is there is no ugly voice, at least for me, think about it, sometimes especially in Musical Theatre or any kind of Acting, voices are all for the purpose of shaping the character so whether it is unpleasant on the ears, it’s still serving it’s purpose that sticks with you and perhaps endears you to it

I cant even tell you how many times I have made that EXACT face when I lose that note or it just goes so horribly wrong like (0.o) lol where did that come from! Belting is a huge struggle for me too and getting the right tone is pure torture (ahhh im too nasaly or aaaah im too much like a frog in my throat gahhhh!)

  • @kimbberland

    I love this. I feel like one of the hardest things with getting good at singing is that yes, youre gonna have to sing loudly, badly, and often for a LONG time before suddenly all the elements of tone, breath support, pitch, mouth and tongue position, and general musicality line up!
    Im 1 year into raling voice as a 30 year old after a lifetime of singinf in choir. I loved xhoir becauae i coule blend in and could nevwr sing at home because my bro and sis we babies when i was in middle school. It has been wild to sing solo, loudly, and actually get to know my own voice.
    This is will inspire me to stay on my journey as i too want to be able to belt out songs.

    • @kimbberland
      @kimbberland Місяць тому +2

      Also, my vibrato tip! Seems like you sing primarily in your chest and head voice. Chest can be hard to get vibrato on as it requires so much more AIR to sustain the notes. I'd try holding a note in a comfortable head voice range note. Then, think about "undulating" the sound out about a half step back and forth. As a guitar player, when you try to get vibrato, you mash you finger into the string and manually bend the note. The same thing happens with singers, but it's taking place in the vocal chords by way of air support.
      So, you're gonna keep wobbling the sound. Won't sound like vibrato at first, but focus on speeding up the back and forth on the notes. Really support your air. I think of it almost like if youve ever had a hose. To get the water come out harder you put your thumb on the edge of it. That builds pressure in the Jose and the water comes out faster. Same thing with the voice "support" needed for vibrato. What's really happening is balancing that intra abdominal pressure sufficiently that you can manually manipulate it, a la mashing the string on the guitar.
      If also just recommend holding single notes for counts of 10. Not even worrying about the "wobble". To have enough air to get to the end, you start really focusing on that "support" aka "sustained pressure". I think this is why so many people say vibrato comes "naturally" when you have healthy support. It's not natural, it's just the ability to control the "water coming out of the hose" for a particular sound, note, technique

    This hits so close to home. I had been trying to learn to sing for years but I absolutely hated my voice and it wasn't until a year or two ago when I started watching more UA-cam videos and taking online lessons from a vocal coach that I became more comfortable with my voice. I was always told that "singing is a natural born talent" but now I've learnt that it's just another instrument that you can learn if you put in the effort. It wasn't until a year ago that I became comfortable uploading covers on UA-cam and I got the confidence after a karaoke night with my friends that were really supportive of me. I still have a long way to go and I'm not yet comfortable performing live or recording a "one-take" cover but this video has inspired me to keep pushing forward ❤.
