same! im now 14 and when i was about 12, i was outstanding (i saw my old videos) and could sing so high. i took a break from singing and musical theatre and now i can barely sing high at all
@@zoozoo5204 dude I have the EXACT same situation when I was 12 I was so good bro I rewatch recordings of me and I could easily sing like any song and now I can’t at all
So I lost a looot of strength in my singing recently. I actually thought I had injured myself, but I think it was due to not practicing enough combined with major weight loss. Apparently being fat can help a lot with supporting your voice. Thanks so much for this video.
Thank you, this was divine. I was searching on Google how to get my voice back after years of trauma. It’s insane how much ptsd takes from you. Thank you for the help!
@@Lexmorningstarnz thank you for validating how hard it is. I’m sorry it’s happened to you. May we get our lovely voice abilities back. Sending love and hope ♥️
I've lost what singing voice I had after not singing for nine years. I also have terrible social anxiety and don't like singing in front of anyone anymore. Is there any hope of getting my singing voice back after so long?
Hii, I’m following your videos for a while, and your videos really guided me to strengthen and find my own voice.. thank you for your time and information.
Lost my singing voice during pregnancy and really lost a lot of it after my c section so I'm trying to get my voice back to where I stop sounding like a dehydrated camel dying.
So a quaver is not just time’s punishment for living a long while? My great-grandmom was the pianist in a small silent movie theater (!!), my granddad was a professional composer and bandleader, my mom sang semi-professionally during the ‘70s, mostly in choirs or doing backup work (she’s even on some _rock en castellano_ albums!), my cousin was and as far as I know still is in a band … so growing up I was surrounded by music, and I sang a LOT: at home, with my mom, in her church as part of their choir, and then onstage as a child actor (albeit always in a chorus, never solo), then in college I sorta-fronted a … rock? punk? noise? -band, we even played a few local venues, then we were all set to take our show on the road - when most of our equipment got stolen!! (As far as we ever found out, an inside job, perpetrated by one of our college classmates … although we could never prove it, and the college leaned on us heavily not to file any report or to pursue any police investigation - in hindsight, all they cared about was their yearly on-campus crime statistics report, which all colleges are required to file and make public.) So, a theft may seem like a little thing, but at the time there was SO much else which was negative either befalling me or being inflicted on me, that I just kinda … gave up. That theft was just the final straw. So I moved back home, barely left the apartment for ages, then drifted around couch-surfing for close to a decade, found some financial stability, moved into my own place which I again barely left, and just all-around numbed out. Then one day, on an impulse, I bought a new guitar. And it was incredible, it felt like regaining a lost limb I’d forgotten I’d even had!! I can’t describe to you how incomplete, in hindsight, I had been without playing music. Within a day of picking the guitar back up, it was like I was seeing color and tasting flavor for the first time in a decade. Anyway, long story short: after brushing up and getting my fingers limber again, I opened up my mouth to sing … and Christ, not only has my range shrunk to just barely over an octave, but I can also hear my voice wander all around from where the note feels in my throat - it’s like landing a little hop, only to feel your feet slide out from under you in all directions as if on ice. Does that make sense? I was never any great trained beautiful voice, but I used to easily hit most of the tenor and baritone range, and my voice was solid … I just don’t know where this quaver is coming from!! I hate to say, but over the last two decades, there’ve been stretches of weeks or months, easily, during which I barely had reason to speak aloud - so I didn’t. Have I let my voice atrophy beyond salvaging? Or could I at least recover the ability to sing without quavering? I am _cough cough cough_ 52, _cough cough,_ if that makes a difference. I’m obviously not looking to make a career out of this, but if I could sing "Science Fiction/Double Feature" from _The Rocky Horror Show_ in the shower just for fun again without … breaking, is that the term? … I’d be a happy boy!! Is there any hope? Sorry for that lengthy monologue. I guess I had a lot bottled up!!
I am a new subscriber........can you please make a video about how to get your voice back, idk I may lost some of my voice due to screaming and some after puberty, I can hit high notes but some mid range is missing, can you please help? Also I sometimes lose support and it feels like it's coming just from my throat and it's like walking on a string and I can feel like something is gonna break like a string is gonna break or something
Hitesh, did you ever figure out how to get back into vocal shape. You seemed so frustrated and concerned? Let me know. I'm curious as a fellow vocalist.
I had this issue when I quit. I dealt with a lot of phlegm and had to rediscover my voice. It was weak to start with, but over time doing vocal exercises helped and sounded much better/brighter since I had quit.
Is there a reason you sometimes frequently skip to whole steps rather than follow the chromatic scale? No worries! Just never heard vocal scales done that way.
I’m 15 I’ve been singing since I was young so it was never hard I got a rare type of cancer and got put on some pretty serious medication and couldn’t play guitar because of how ill I was for 3 months after coming back I find I can barely sing I’m always flat I can’t hit notes it’s like I’ve lost my ability to sing.
I’ve been sick for 2 months now i have no breath and singing stamina. Sickness is gone except still some coughing occasionally. How can I get my stamina back? I feel like I’m out of breath halfway through a song
Why is it that when ever I sing to myself I sound good, but when record or videotape myself on my iPhone I sound like a dead cow? Xd someone please give me an awnser... I feel weird Xd!
I think it's because your microphone doesn't record all of the beautiful sound that is coming out. Then when it plays back, it doesn't sound good....like the game telephone. The process is just not dependable. Does that make sense?
Josh Holladay Actually, when you sing to yourself you sound different than how you actually sound irl! Your ears kind of reverb the sound to make it sound like the way you hear it. The way to hear how you sound to others (other than recording yourself) is to put your hands (or something else like a thin book or sum) directly in front of your ears and then singing
Could be the microphone’s fault however i notice the same thing with piano. I play it sounds really good but i don’t think your brain while singing/playing doesn’t pick up on the small things (but you do listening back)
Thanks for the video. Hope your move back's been good. So I'm curious-- what's the reason for keeping vibrato out? Also, have you tried yawning and holding as a way to get soft palate up? My teacher has an exercise based on that-- he called it "20 counts." I did 25-50 of those a day, and my resonance really took off.
Hi there. If you were to just yawn and hold it, yes-- I think that would probably work. Here's what I would feel and focus on in greater detail. Sudden inhalation. I hear the intake of air (softly) and feel it pass by back of mouth and throat. Jaw is loose and open, the larynx is dropped, the soft palate is arched up. The tip of tongue is lightly resting against the back of bottom teeth. As a tenor, working to create space for higher notes, I'd want a vertical feel to my mouth-- no side-to-side spread. Doing this consistently helped me build strength and muscle memory-- but it also could be helpful "in the moment." Often-- when I'd hit a wall in a scale or a song-- we'd stop and do one or two of these. It would almost always release some tension and/or improve resonance. Anyway, good luck and I hope this helps!
Dii its have been 1 year for me to practice and going music class in this 1 year I have stopped practice and going music class so my voice has been changed what can I do get back my voice please kindly tell me
I've had an illness too, and I can sing one song now and generally it hurts my voice so badly I end up with a sore throat. It's been 5 years since I opened my mouth and all I really want to do these days is karaoke with friends. Doing these exercises DON'T HURT so, I'll just keep doing them till I can sing again. My ROCKSTAR days are over lol.
Sorry... i really dont want to be rude, but could you post this exercise again without any speaking or explanations? Especially inbetween scales. Its really frustrating for me to follow.
haha! No offense taken. :) I have other videos without any speaking that you can use. I'm not posting singing tutorials here anymore as my channel content is changing.
I hear you are singing in the head voice most of the time A below middle C. Why not the chest voice? And I see you are breathing through your nose. Don`t you think it is better to breath through your mouth right down into the diaphram?
She alternates between nose and mouth breathing, but I thought it was healthier to inhale through the nose because drawing air in through the throat can dry you out. Towards the end she talks about how her chest resonance is weak due to her recent illness. She mentions that she’s in head voice too, and gives her belt a try. This is a recovery video:)
3:58 is where it starts
Thank you
Thanks. Seriously I was about to bounce.
Thanks 🙏
Life saviour
Thank you 😊
I used to be confident while singing and I used to get praised that I have beautiful voice but now I feel my voice changed
same! im now 14 and when i was about 12, i was outstanding (i saw my old videos) and could sing so high. i took a break from singing and musical theatre and now i can barely sing high at all
@@zoozoo5204 dude I have the EXACT same situation when I was 12 I was so good bro I rewatch recordings of me and I could easily sing like any song and now I can’t at all

Thank you so much for this! After high school, vocal major, i did not really sing. It's been 6 years and i realized how shot my voice got!
So I lost a looot of strength in my singing recently. I actually thought I had injured myself, but I think it was due to not practicing enough combined with major weight loss. Apparently being fat can help a lot with supporting your voice. Thanks so much for this video.
The eyebrow thing....weirdd and so helpful! I am so glad to see this in my notifications again. You are absolutely lovely, lady.

Thank you, this was divine. I was searching on Google how to get my voice back after years of trauma. It’s insane how much ptsd takes from you. Thank you for the help!
You're welcome. Glad I could help!
I can relate. I haven’t sung in a whole year due to mental health. It takes everything from you
@@Lexmorningstarnz thank you for validating how hard it is. I’m sorry it’s happened to you. May we get our lovely voice abilities back. Sending love and hope ♥️
Omg I needed this so badly! Thankyou soon much, also yes, that is a very good excuse haha

Hitesh, did you ever figure out how to get back into vocal shape. You seemed so frustrated and concerned? Let me know. I'm curious as a fellow vocalist.
why do my vision and eyes vibrate when I sing in my upper range
Can you please make a video on how to get voice after quitting smoking pls thank yo u
Ooh - tbh Im not sure. I've never smoked so I don't know. Maybe chat to your doctor for some medical advice.
I had this issue when I quit. I dealt with a lot of phlegm and had to rediscover my voice. It was weak to start with, but over time doing vocal exercises helped and sounded much better/brighter since I had quit.
Is there a reason you sometimes frequently skip to whole steps rather than follow the chromatic scale? No worries! Just never heard vocal scales done that way.
I'm not doing a chromatic scale, I'm playing through a major scale.
I’m 15 I’ve been singing since I was young so it was never hard I got a rare type of cancer and got put on some pretty serious medication and couldn’t play guitar because of how ill I was for 3 months after coming back I find I can barely sing I’m always flat I can’t hit notes it’s like I’ve lost my ability to sing.
I'm sorry you're going through this, you're very strong!
how are you now
I’ve been sick for 2 months now i have no breath and singing stamina. Sickness is gone except still some coughing occasionally. How can I get my stamina back? I feel like I’m out of breath halfway through a song
Thanks for not sending me the notification YT. 🤬😂 Looking forward to more videos. WB. 🖤
Edit: It turns out I didn’t have notifs on 😅 Well, now...

Its requires more control to remove vibrato if you do it naturally. Hence the strength building :)
I'm interested in that exercise. How does it work? Do I hold the yawn for 20 seconds 25 times?
Hi there. If you were to just yawn and hold it, yes-- I think that would probably work. Here's what I would feel and focus on in greater detail. Sudden inhalation.

thank you, it's a good exercise
So how many times a day do I rinse and repeat??
Helpful but too chatty for me
I use too much vibrato idek why is it a sign that my voice is coming back?
New here thank you
I didn't sing from months
Dii its have been 1 year for me to practice and going music class in this 1 year I have stopped practice and going music class so my voice has been changed what can I do get back my voice please kindly tell me
Hi💞 is it possible to lose ur singing voice after 2 weeks of not practicing?
nope it might me a little weak but you havent lost it just keep practicing
@@veemeg2172 ok thank u!💕
yep - great answer :)
Very hard to sing without vibrato!!!!
Exactly. That's why its such a good exercise :)
