    why is it that a lot of people who come up to me in the streets and say I'm good, but when I record myself I sound weird?

      Tone deafness. And to make sure you aren't tone impaired, take a tone deafness test.

      Its all about what you're recording on, ex. a phone? It's not meant for vocal recording... or a normal microphone. Look into something such as a condensing microphone, and one with amp

    • @pinkaIice
      @pinkaIice 10 років тому +12

      It's because when you talk the sound of your voice that YOU hear is different from what other people hear. :) spScince you are so used to how you sound to yourself when you hear a recording of yourself your like ".... WHAT AM I?" XD

      +Drixyand Lucky Might also be because your audio recording source is bad, and you are recording in a room where echo of room makes your vocal sound washed out and stuff. There are a lot of reasons why it sounds bad recording yourself. A lot of poeple do doubletakes on top of eachother or a lot of other crazy cool things. Have great mics help also, being in a room where it doesnt wash vocal is good also :)

  • @hotdubtime
    @hotdubtime 10 років тому

    The thing is in original performance the song is tuned down on 4 half-tones. And it wouldn't be performed like that by author if he sang like in original, hitting his transition notes. The result would be disappointing. Tenors stuff i suppose. And here goes the question of all the times: should tenors perform a song tunning it up? I noticed a lot of times when it comes to sing transition notes i feel bad for my larynx, but its okay to sing above these notes like he does.

  • @PastryRatty

    ..There's not much problem with controlling my voice. The problem is that I have a really low voice and I just sound like.. a man.. ._. Is there any way to get a higher voice and to just change your voice completly?

    • @diamondphoenix3453
      @diamondphoenix3453 8 років тому

      @Kitten I'm not really sure if you'd be able to change the actual sound of your voice, but if you practice singing higher notes you will be able to increase your range.

    • @camboxromeo9513
      @camboxromeo9513 8 років тому

      Raise your larynx. A female's lowest range is an alto and guys that are tenors singing high notes are female altos singing low notes. This makes you believe that you have a "low" voice but in reality, you are not making use of what a true alto can be. Check out Feliecia Ricci since she is an amazing coach for females. This is good but it would lead to more confusion if you learn from a male online if you are a beginning singer.

    • @Chancespam
      @Chancespam 8 років тому +1

      Take advantage of your low voice!

    • @JamesTarghet
      @JamesTarghet 8 років тому

      It's hard to assume you're own voice, but chance park is right, "take adventage of your low voice" you have to deal with it, and not trying to get an other voice you can't.

  • @barryhussein8962
    @barryhussein8962 12 років тому

    Consonants like "M" are actually a very good way to help you feel the sensation of forward placement of your voice. But mix it up constantly--especially with consonant/vowel combinations over which you may stumble in repertoire. And forget about volume. Start with a lightness in your voice, especially as you move up the scale. Breath support is key!

  • @obsessinging
    @obsessinging 10 років тому +2

    I don't think this make you "sound" better or even sing that much better. It appears to help with the passagio but doesn't really have that much use for actually getting better tone which I think is what people are after here. Also this is a grey area because sounding good when singing is also a matter of opinion or taste. I respect what he's saying but I don't believe it as a singer myself. I'm open to criticism

  • @okeanos222
    @okeanos222 12 років тому

    Don't know about that "ng" exercise, but this vid did point out that regardless what methods being used the tone and volume should be steady and consistent up & down the scales. I nvr thought about that, I just blazed through exercises & now realized that I have breaks & volume dips everywhere!

    @denniscervantes28 11 років тому

    @Darren Hills Don't give up, and keep practicing..Although, the size and shape of your larynx is the primary factor in your vocal range. You may be able to push the boundaries, but your range is largely fixed.
    Your range can be developed with the right training but be sure to use proven techniques that do not strain or wear out your voice. I found the "Singing Voice Perfection" method helped me allot in extending my vocal range.

  • @Cyberote
    @Cyberote 11 років тому

    I think the point of excersises is to train your voice and work it out so you can sing a lot smoother and with more control. It's like guitar. You can't play fast and well unless you learn proper technique and work your fingers out. The pinky finger is a prime example. Most people have trouble using their pinky. You have to work it out.

    I have been playing guitar, drums and bass for 7 years now so I know that its gonna take a lot of time and dedication to learn how to sing but god damn will it be worth it. Thank you for the videos! :)

    Exactly. How you practice is how you perform. Once you master the vocal exercises you are doing, you should be able to use the exact same coordinations and incorporate that into your singing. Connecting all of your chest and head voice to make it all sound like chest & proper breathing is the key to successful singing.

    Just a little comment on the first exercise.
    It is just a matter of raising your larynx as you go up in pitch. In the video he is clearly lowering his larynx when he is doing the exercise "wrong". It is just a matter of taste. The notes are still clear here but as you go higher remember to raise your larynx. f.ex by plaicing the sides of the tongue on the molars in the upper mouth or smiling.
    If I can't do these exercises will I never be able to sing?
