"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.
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.
Skip forward to 3:00 he start teaching there.
Ramiro Doporto thank you. This guy likes to talk
i always wanted a person to drop of a comment like this in most videos. thankyou
It's still good info he's giving at the start :) also, good call, if one just wants the exercises
You're the OG
Thanks p
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.
jiman kim it’s been a year..have you improved?
Bro it's all good just do a little Fourier analysis and that's good enough
Bruh meeee too,, id like to at least be on pitch, work on my tone and pitch
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.
That's odd because music ability and math ability are kind of related.
P.S. I'm a singer who didn't get the math correlate.
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.
I´ve listened myself just fine, after recording it realised I was way out of tune, 10/10
This helped me a lot to realize I'm tone deaf😂
Spacexx E LMAO same
Same here.
I'm so happy I saw this. makes me feel that Im not alone. LMAO
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.
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'm glad you enjoyed the video Karen Johnson. Thanks for watching.

"...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! :)
WHAT COMMMUNICATION ??? !!!!!
NM no communication, dont mess with it.
Michael Craig what do u mean ?!
i think the meaning of communication is by connecting with the song so as what the strory is
Nice bro
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

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.
+Bipul Bhattarai Is it helpful in improving our voice??.......Have you noticed any change in your voice?? Please help me!! I want to sing better!!😔😔
i must agree
Are you better singer now?
Dahmoe Bravo How is your singing now?
the BEST music teacher i have come across on youtube!
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
so wholesome, thank you dr. dan i really needed to hear that part about every voice deserving to be heard!
thank you Dr. Dan, you'e one of the greatest teachers.
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
I'm glad you enjoyed the video discipline. Thanks for watching.
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.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Thistledove. Thanks for watching.
If you really want to develop your pitch and intonation check out my comprehensive singing course - drdan.co/probundle
Thank you for the lesson and sharing you are great teacher. God bless.
Another awesome video! Thanks Dr. Dan!
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 the throat use the throat more
you dont need god to get good.
You need him too get legendary.
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.
+Todd T Adams Religious nonsense psycho-babble doesn't belong here.
Just found my new coach to help me sing.. Thank you Dr dan
Welcome to Voice Essentials, Elizabeth.
I definitely struggle with pitch sometimes so this is very helpful!
I’ve been practicing for one year. Watching your videos have improved my vocal skills. I did these exercises with no problems. Thank you 😊
Excellent!
Brillant! Thank you!
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
I hope your exam goes well, Mahsumi.
I am suck also
you are my hero
Love this channel!!!!
Have been following Dr Dan's, but my singing has improved so much thumbs up men
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!

Nail the Pitch has helped me a lot
Thanks I like it I've try at home. wow I also tried with the keyboard and sing along.
Thank you for this Dr. Dan!!

This is great to work with! Thank you !!!!
Glad you like it!
Thank you so much for the lesson!
No worries!
I was only able to match one sound but when I did it was VERY obvious as I felt it not just heard it. Thank you...
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Winter’s Soul. Thanks for watching.
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?
+Dr Dan's Voice Essentials how can I sing in pitch? Note I cannot play piano
+Dr Dan's Voice Essentials thank you

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.
Just record your self singing. Then analyse it
Your videos feel so encouraging! Thank you!
I own that same keyboard! I primarily use it as a controller but it's a nice 76 key Casio.
its really awesome ,,,sure it helps beginners ,,,,
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?
Hello Dr. Dan
Is it possible for you to do a review on Cris Cornell singing or technique and perhaps teach us how to get into that or his level
Thanks for tour work friend i'm learning allot with your lessons
My pleasure
Yer awesome
thanks Ed Norton!
U r a master.
I'm good with it...
Nice thank 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 !,
I have a good voice (that's what people say) but my problem is everytime i transpose a song I just have no idea what note I should start singing.....
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 :)
Is there any CD-s or more videos available with exercises to improve singing in tune and cure flat singing?
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!
i just cringed reading this im sorry yo
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.
That is a great show idea! 👏🏼
Gracias
Hi :) thanks for your lesson. I'm not native in English so I didn't get it what to google to sing our favorite song. Tunes? Or is there a specific site for that?
Thanks again for your support @->->
great stuff, thanks Dan! Instant subbed : ). Hi from Melbourne.
Hey, I live near Melbourne, also! My Son was born there...however it’s Melbourne, Florida so not quite the same 😆
I did perfect 😊
Dr. Dang was a villain in a bollywood movie. But this Dr. is a hero. 😁
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?
thank you for the video!
a note for myself: 9:00
I'm glad you enjoyed the video jean foster. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for all of your helpful videos. Can you model the exercises vocally as well? Thanks.

@@DrDanRobinson Thank you!
Hello Dr. Dan what's the difference between falsetto and head voice?
do u know if you put an EQ pedal in the FX loop of an amp if u put all the level levers down and turn volume on the amp all the way up is it more preamp tube distortion and vice versa all level levers up and volume way down if it will be more power tube distortion or which way has better tone? for guitars
Hey,
Let me know if I got it right, please.
So at the third exercise I have to sing the entire Row row only on the A note and after I do that I gradually sing higher but everytime I sing the row row melody only on a single tone?
Love your channel 💕💕
Thank you so much!!
Dr. Dan what's the importance of intonation for choir?
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

I agree, Rebecca!
Not mine...
make a video on information about my music ,its scales, what are scales its types
P.S. You just answered my question during the second half of the video. Thanks.
Glad to help!
i sing out of tune. .how to improve?
Excellent
Thanks for watching James Dougherty!
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.
@michael craig how are you doing now 1 year later?
aww that last part broke my heart. I hope your okay
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? 😊
Helpful video thanks
Glad it helped
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
Good first step to learning to sing
Yes 😊
where can i find videos of you proforming
dang so if u have a pitch auto tune pedal its better to put it on one key instead of the instrument setting?
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?
Patrick Wells, the following video may prove helpful - ua-cam.com/video/GZcJ4-6_R8Y/v-deo.html
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.
its hard (for me) to say "E" while singing an A lol. makes me want to hit an E. didnt think i had that good of pitch but if i say "A" i can hit A 🍻
For people replaying he starts to sing "row your boat" at 9:00
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.
As singers, we generally need to aim to be within 10% (10-cents) of the target note.
@@DrDanRobinson Thanks! Something to work on for me. 😉
I can already play guitar and am pretty good in wanting to get into singing I can already hear pitch on my guitar and sing it and get it at least on that note it may be a bit sharp but it’s on that note tho
What exactly does breath management mean?
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!
dude yea, how do I sing comfortably with my own pitch without straining the higher notes?
I can sing in proper tune without messing up but my pitch doesn't go as high as the singers in the song. I have tried so much but it just doesn't go high. It's in the medium range at best. I don't know what to do
I realize when I'm singing with somebody that's in a recording that I'm about a half semitone flat. I don't know what the deal is with my singing like that.
Well, I found the reason why I'm flat. I don't open my throat to sing. I realized while singing to C. Plus, the more you sing lower, the more you need to open up.
Your videos are helpful, but cant develop high tune, what next should i do?

@@DrDanRobinson hey i always sing flat i couldnt even do the basic doh ray me fa so la ti doe
how can i send you my voice , i just wanted to check if really sounds like that of a girl????
ive always lived with a insecurity infact whenever someone calls me they address me as sir while i am a girl
Why can I copy the exact notes on piano but when singing songs I can’t seem to be in the middle? (i sing sharp) help :((
so i shouldn't be upset if i record a song and find a few notes out?
I have that same keyboard, hows it treating you?
It has been going well for over ten years!
good video
