@@Michael-hj9fx I can't see your answer anymore but I'll reply anyway Try one of the following: 1. If you for example set the tone generator to C3, try C2 and C4 instead. 2. While attempting to match the generated tone, try slightly going up and down with your voice's pitch while holding the note. Kind of like a police siren or so. You should feel if you're in tune or not.
I am a math major and i am the farthest from any artistic talent in any aspect but I'm here cuz im tired of my friends dissing my karaoke singing and say im tone deaf.

This is fun! I love to sing alot. I'm a beginner at 53 and I know I don't sing in tune but sing anyway. Now after some other videos for breathing and to reach my head voice, im replaying your video to practice and I'm starting to get It!! Thanks! 😁
I'll never understand why I can hum songs perfectly but once I open my mouth to project it, I lose pitch and just generally suck. I also find it easier to sing instrumental parts vs. actual lyrics or voices.
When you hum you don't have to worry about vowel placement, projection or anything like that, so it's usually easier. Same reason for the instrumental parts, you don't have to worry about the idiosincrasies of speech and can focus only on the pitch.
"...great singing is never about perfect notes. Great singing is about communication - always has been, and always will be." Tell me about it, Dr. Dan! :)
I appreciate your attitude mate. I was always told to not try learn to sing and only now at 28 years old deciding I dont really care what anyone thinks its for me
I must say your videos help me better then anyone else's I'm a dancer but I always wanted to sing when I get good at it I will definitely give you credit for helping me thank you
the greatest success that ive ever had was by using the Bens Singer Blog (i found it on google) without a doubt the most incredible plan i've followed.
My family is made up of wonderful singers. Traditionally at family gatherings we sing all together except for my adult son. I know it is because he feels intimidated. Thank you for this video. I think this will help him.
My uncle used to say my songs were pitchy, and I really had no clue. Spent 11 months, practically tone deaf, other than these videos I train myself... then about 3 weeks ago, I srarted to hear it and learned voice placement by discovery. I also found some extremely helpful tips in an article which is to sit or stand straight, chin tilted down for my middle/low voice, raise my eyebrows for high notes, temporarily flex the chest at the exact moment I need to sing a powerful note. It dramatically decreased the difficulty of singing. My better sung songs on smule went from an average of about 25 likes to 200 likes. I think the most important things. for newer singers to do is practice alot, and experiment with sounds, volume, techniques, because... you know, chasing cars and enter sandman are sung differently. Vowel sounds are especially important, so one knows how to use vowels at different pitches... like could be singing high notes and get a word like eyes that makes your voice want to sing lower. So focus on that weakspot by saying eyes in different ways. Two solutions off the top of my head that beginners can do is to either sing eyes quickly... don't hold the note.. or sing it quietly. If it is a love song, by bryan adams, quietly would be the way. Quiet is the love volume, I've learned. Edit: If you can control vibrato, that can be uses on a held "eyes" note to avoid losing pitch.
Here is a recent duet of a song that requires vowel sounds to be managed. The song is "you are the reason" by Calum Scott www.smule.com/p/1395168509_2579735329

wooooahhhh i could hear the note then sing it and then i heard consonance between my voice and the note. i didnt know i could replicate a note...awesome
The reason why I stumble on this video is because I am going to have a violin exam next month and one of the sections is echoing which requires me to hum in correct tone, and I am suck at it
To be fair most people who think they’re tone deaf aren’t! I thought I was for a while because I don’t know how to sing on pitch but I play other instruments and can actually hear just fine. I can hear when I’m singing wrongly and if you can hear it too then you’re not tone deaf, you just don’t know how to control your voice properly!
@@Anna-cu7iz I agree. When effort is put and the proper technique is applied almost anyone can carry some sort of tune, even if it's just for congregational purposes. Very few people are actually tone deaf. I think most who say they are just compare themselves to actual singers.
Hey Dr Dan, loved your presentation. I've also been encouraging students to have a program/app like Sing and See or singscope so they can have visual feedback of their pitch. The feedback process seems to be one of my primary functions as a teacher, such an awesome role to be, in a singers journey. Wondering if you've come across other apps that have been useful for this function? Cheers for all your good work and sharing it so generously!
I can't understand.. I don't even know whether iam singing in tune.. I sing same for all the notes.. my god.. I have no sense of music..can someone help me
ankush datta yes. I checked myself with chromatic tuner for tuning instruments. It works. If u buy from ebay for few dollars from china u can test exactly what note u sing and even u can play up by sliding ur voice up and down and see how the notes on the tuner change. Hope that helps. Not to forget train ur voice 1 hour daily insead og going to gym train ur vocal muscles.
I am not tone deaf but I cannot sing in pitch! I have no one around to teach me to sing in pitch 😰 and is it necessary to play a instrument to learn singing?
If you learn where to get the sound from you could see some very quick improvement. Unfortunately it is relatively easy to assess someone in person but not so much in writing. The desire to sing decently is very important on its own as well.
This is first good vid I found that has helped me. Thank you. I love music, I love singing, I have been dreaming my whole life that maybe one day I could sing. But that horrible day many-many years ago, when I was kid.... well our music teacher humiliated and laughed about my singing in front of all school. It broke my hearth and will and courage to ever sing openly. There should be some shows, opposite to X-factors and etc.. where problematic singers like me are trained to be stars :)
I was a problematic singer. I actually flunked my first semester of voice lessons in college. I loved the process of learning to sing, though, and i worked extremely hard. It took about 10 years, but I became a professional opera singer (soloist) and was positively reviewed in both the NY and LA Times, among others. These days I delight in helping singers improve and nonsingers find their singing ability!
Your music teacher humiliated you and laughed about your singing in front of the entire school? I think you fail to understand how people work. No teacher is going to ridicule a student like that in front of a whole school. Stop making up lies on the Internet to try and get sympathy. It's weak and deplorable.
I am not a beginner, it seems like this is something to work on and always try for improvement. My biggest problem is getting sore. I can only sing for an hour or 2 at max...but most gigs are 4 hours..how can I get from here to there? I am a full grown man, running out of time to reach max potential. I subscribed, but I cant afford to buy any special classes or anything. Living on prayer and peanut butter.
thank you so much, I've had trouble singing my whole life but this video actually helped me. My friends were making fun of me but I watched this video and I was able to start singing. Love you

My band I are writing a rock opera and taking my vocal skills to the next level so I the vocalist an enjoying your vids. Takashi the opera coming soon to your area post covid !,
That's all well and done Dr Dan but how do you prevent a singer's voice from trailing off in the tonal distance? In other words, how does a singer sing a long note (whole note for example) for 2 measures and keep that same pitch without becoming sharp or flat?
I beg to differ Dr. Dan. Singing a pitch at first with help from a prop like a piano, but when it goes flat, how do you that prevent that from happening? With my students, I have them commit that tone into their tonal memory like an actor will commit a line of script to memory before performing on stage. Memory is key. It takes constant practice on that tone and all musical tones until it becomes part of their tonal memory. It can be done. It takes commitment but it can be done. How are all those tones really reinforced in singing, a course in solfeggio.
Get a guitar tuner with a digital display. Take a deep breath. Sustain a vocal sound and it will display the note and whether it’s flat or sharp. Don’t worry about the note. Do this exercise one note at a time and you will develop musical muscle memory and have a ton of laughs in the process. Thank me later.
This is fine if you can hear the notes and understand that you are singing it wrong or right. For me - I already have great pitch recognition. I have a new student who has problems hearing the pitch and correcting the pitch as he is singing the scale. I'm not one for using apps - but if I can find an app that recognises vocal pitch and tells me (or my student) what note they are actually singing - this will help them when I'm not there to tell them whether they are sharp, flat or way off.
Every video I have watched so far simply says practice singing these notes. If I am having trouble understanding the physical mechanics of producing those notes correctly in the first place then how can I practice singing the notes? Do you have a video that deals with how you use the different parts of you body (throat, stomach muscles, nose, tongue, etc) to produce a note correctly in the first place?
Hi, Penguin Lover 19. You may find my online singing course helpful - drdan.co/onlinesinginglessons. Feel free to check it out sometime. The first module is free to preview!
I enjoyed this presentation, but is there an app that generates a note of your choosing ,and when you sing it into phone it gives you a constant reading of the note as long as you sustain it?
I should say your videos really help me expand my range(well,make my voice higher and removed some low notes),I went from an d4,then to a f4,and now..I'm in g#4..isn't that great?but I still have to work on my high larynx..I believe that even if I'm still in puberty..I can still manage my vocal quality and expand my range..I hope you have a free written lecture..or even a video one...is a4 already in the mix voice?
This channel is amazing. If I record my voice/exercises I use Melodyne to check how my actually pitch is. Melodyne analyses perfectly what you're singing. Is there a rule of thumb for the degree of deviation which you can call "normal". Let's say I sing a C. Melodyne tells me I am singing for example 20% under C or 39% above C. Just wondering.
hello Dr. Dan... there's a question in my mind... why do most of the professional singers use their false tone or you can say fake voice at upper notes? 😊
Great video! One thing I can’t wrap my head around is whether it is ok to sing a whole verse of for example my favourite song in one key/note? Do I have to change the key during the song? How do I know when to change it??
Sing c. Sing f. I fairly sure all were wrong in the entire trial... How can i know if I even got it close? The row row you boat thing i had to stop to bail water. No way to cross reference what I did. HOWEVER where you muted your voice - I did that brilliantly. (Shut up Singing?) Without critical feed back I remain brain blank.

Laughter is a by product. Also let me know if you can sustain any sound in pitch for 3 SECONDS. I will give you $100. If you can’t. You give me $10. You get as many tries as you want.
Hi Dr DanaI'm 55 but how i can be good singer in this age ?I'm very happy with your lessons videos, I did try it's very easy to me.What do you think about me, will you please help me for a very good future singer?
Dan, do you have other videos to help improve singing on pitch, in tune? Also, do you have videos to help a person sing much longer, with more endurance, and not get sore, so they can sing a typical full 4 hour gig in a bar or club?
Thank you very much..I sing a lot of Elvis, Lynyrd Skynyrd (the original, with Ronnie) and Allman Bros. type songs, deep to midrange, not too much high note stuff, a few high notes in some songs, but not too much..just want to improve, and go for it all the way, even though i am not a kid, or youngster. I done put off this dream too long, working every back breaking job around, now it is MY time to do this..
i need more practice hahahaha edit:while you practice you need another gadget and download a tuner or any pitch app to make sure you are on the right pitch thats i going to do so i hope this will help other
"did u maintain the right pitch"... I dont even know if what I sounded like was close to what the piano sounded like...
Yeah this is the problem I am having as well... I can't tell if the pitch I sang was the same as the one on the piano, or how far off it was.
Try with a pitch monitor app
Google "szynalski tone generator", it generates a purer sound than piano. You certainly will be able to hear if you're in tune.
I've tried tone generators, but it doesn't help. I suspect the problem is the difference in timbre. Pitch monitoring apps seem to be helping though.
@@Michael-hj9fx I can't see your answer anymore but I'll reply anyway
Try one of the following:
1. If you for example set the tone generator to C3, try C2 and C4 instead.

Have you considered using a 'Guitar tuning' app with a chromatic function?
Not as yet. What is 'Chromatic function'.
It allows you to tune the instrument, in this case, the voice, to any note on the chromatic scale.
Every video I have watched so far simply says practice singing these notes. If I am having trouble understanding the physical mechanics of producing those notes correctly in the first place then how can I practice singing the notes?

As singers, we generally need to aim to be within 10% (10-cents) of the target note.

For people replaying he starts to sing "row your boat" at 9:00
you are my hero
hello Dr. Dan... there's a question in my mind... why do most of the professional singers use their false tone or you can say fake voice at upper notes? 😊
Brillant! Thank you!
i sing out of tune. .how to improve?
Gracias
Great video! One thing I can’t wrap my head around is whether it is ok to sing a whole verse of for example my favourite song in one key/note? Do I have to change the key during the song? How do I know when to change it??
Jeff Shreeves, the following video about changing keys may prove helpful - ua-cam.com/video/VPfWfF8w5Pc/v-deo.html

I’ve been a beginner singer for 34 years 😂
Sing c. Sing f. I fairly sure all were wrong in the entire trial...
How can i know if I even got it close?
The row row you boat thing i had to stop to bail water. No way to cross reference what I did. HOWEVER where you muted your voice - I did that brilliantly. (Shut up Singing?) Without critical feed back I remain brain blank.
what are r and e vowels ?
how do you know you nailed a tune ?
what is a life ?
Get a guitar tuner with a digital display. Take a deep breath. Sustain a vocal sound and it will display the note and whether it’s flat or sharp. Don’t worry about the note. Do this exercise one note at a time and you will develop musical muscle memory and have a ton of laughs in the process. Thank me later.
@@jacklincoln7786 thank you so much i will search for one for sure ,cause i need the ''laughing in the process'' xD
Laughter is a by product. Also let me know if you can sustain any sound in pitch for 3 SECONDS. I will give you $100. If you can’t. You give me $10. You get as many tries as you want.
Dr. Dan what's the importance of intonation for choir?
I like this guy. Subscribed!
When's he going to teach us how to sing "Chopping Broccoli"? That's my favourite song of his.
I have that same keyboard, hows it treating you?
It has been going well for over ten years!
Nice thank you
Hi Dr DanaI'm 55 but how i can be good singer in this age ?I'm very happy with your lessons videos, I did try it's very easy to me.What do you think about me, will you please help me for a very good future singer?
Nilufar, keep watching and engaging with the Voice Essentials channel.
tip: if you feel kinda bad about how you sound, pretend you singing your favorite song from your favorite musical and the confidence will SKY ROCKET
THERE'S A MILLION THINGS I HAVEN'T SUNG

Being able to reproduce a single pitch accurately.

i wish you sung before asking people watching to
I want to learn but i dont know where to begin
I use karaoke apps such as smule and starmaker and i wonder whether my voice isnt in tune or the apps' tune guide is wrong 🤣
I'm good with it...
Dan, do you have other videos to help improve singing on pitch, in tune? Also, do you have videos to help a person sing much longer, with more endurance, and not get sore, so they can sing a typical full 4 hour gig in a bar or club?
Thank you very much..I sing a lot of Elvis, Lynyrd Skynyrd (the original, with Ronnie) and Allman Bros. type songs, deep to midrange, not too much high note stuff, a few high notes in some songs, but not too much..just want to improve, and go for it all the way, even though i am not a kid, or youngster. I done put off this dream too long, working every back breaking job around, now it is MY time to do this..
i need more practice hahahaha
edit:while you practice you need another gadget and download a tuner or any pitch app to make sure you are on the right pitch
thats i going to do so i hope this will help other
Hello Dr. Dan what's the difference between falsetto and head voice?
Moving from one pitch to another= intonation
