      I like the fact that you have a bass or baritone voice. Harry Styles is a tenor 2 for reference along with most male performances.
      To your vocal teacher part, the second was the normal healthy singing voice.
      And you’re just too pretty to have that deep of a voice.
      You should have just used The National Athem or Church Hymms. Especially if your goal is to find YOUR voice.

I also had to listen and learn bout the arabic micro-tonal scale which is comprised of 24 notes in music theory. idk where you heard humans can't at all, we most definitely can you just have to train yourself. its like how there's indigenous groups that can see more shades of green and blue in new zealand because they have two snake species and they are just slightly differently coloured enough that they had to evolve to notice the shade difference. artists are also usually good at this because they constntly are surrounded by colours and mixing bit by bit changing shades ever so slightly, trining our brains to see colours a little better than average people.

    While standing, go to a corner where two walls meet. Put your nose as close to the apex line - where the two walls meet - and try singing normally. You will instantly hear all the nuances/resonances of your voice which will allow you to relax. This is your new practice spot! Gently practice increasing your volume... it should come naturally.

    I'm reading through these comments wondering how nobody said anything about the complete lack of breath control. You taught youself all about articulation and hitting the right notes - which is awesome and a necessary step in learning to sing and you did really well with that!
    Now you should focus on working out how to truly breathe in deeply and control your diaphragm. Look up keywords like breath control, diaphragm and then belting, once you're more advanced. You're on a good path and have a really nice sounding voice!

    I grew up mute due to a developmental issue, and always had a soft quiet and uncontrolled voice. Lately I’ve started singing in the car on my way to and from work, half an hour there and back. After only a week or two I noticed that I was hitting notes easier and that my speaking voice is louder and clearer. Never expected such great results in such a short amount of time! Gonna keep doing it, so much fun when you wake up and hear a voice you never thought you had in you

    You have two things either of which MOST people do not. Tenacity and compassion. Simply don't stop. You've already PROVEN capable of significant change from arguably not entertaining to arguably entertaining. Here's the thing. You love music and singing "when it goes right". I am here to tell you I walked this very path and as you continue to experiment with real, consistent application (as you've already demonstrated), that little bumble bee vibrato in your super rich basso voice will get stronger and stronger, more and more relaxed until you can say and feel whatever you want while singing and you WILL SEND people. Only persist. I was liberated vocally by Seth Riggs himself, and continue to grow with watching great UA-camrs who teach many of his principles if not naming "speach level singing" per se in the their credits.

    Firstly: the idea of showing the process is AMAZING. Usually people let others see only their "best versions" and it's so good to see it all.
    Secondly: my main thought is that maybe I don't hear a spectacular change in your voice (it doesn't mean I don't hear any change at all), but I definitely see how singing just became easier for you. You don't have so much struggle on your face as in the beginning, your body seems more relaxed. The notes that on the first videos seemed to even hurt you, on the last ones look just natural. At the same time, there is SOME change in your voice, for better of course - and that shows perfectly how sometimes we just need to learn "trying less" and relaxing to do something better 👏

    so something to focus on when singing is pronouncing the words fully and clearly and to not strain your voice too much at first to hit those high notes. i grew up signing but could never hit high notes until i started focusing solely on that. for some reason humming the high notes helped me learn to sing them and now a have a huge range. but good job, you can see inprovement!

    Ok here's my advice if you are expanding your journey beyond this. You should feel 0 tension in the neck and jaw, if you do feel tension that means that you might be doing it wrong. Singing should literally feel easy, yes getting to that level requires practice but don't trade off your technique at the moment in order to sound good. That isn't going to fix the main problem. I notice that your voice is very soft and these songs that you are learning use a technique that people in the contemporary singing world refer to as belting. In order to belt first push all your air out in like a Ha sound you should feel your core at work while doing this. It doesn't mean push all your air out to get the sound out, it just means getting used to having that extra support. Without support the belting may result into a lot of tension that can lead to a voice crack. Now belting is loud, it may sound like you are screaming at first but all that I would define belting as is like a controlled scream. Try it in the high parts like in golden hour "I don't need no light to see you shine." I heard in the comments somebody said work on your pronunciation, in singing this is referred to as diction. It's really a simple fix, just have all of the consonants overly pronounced at first like the T and K sounds, think of a beatboxer. Then when you sing it should naturally fall into place, if it doesn't try reducing it in the session yourself. Like try pronouncing a really hard K doing and gradually reduce it till it sounds right. For breathing, this is honestly still to this day the hardest part of singing because it all begins with the breath. Honestly I've never heard of the bubble exercise but start with a metronome, place it at a time where it is suitable I normally prefer 70 bpm. Start with inhaling for 4 counts and exalling for 8, keep increasing and doubling the amount I typically just play with the numbers on the spot. This is supposed to also help the control and using your breath more efficiently. I loved seeing your progress and I would love to hear your voice further in the future.

    Equalizing the mouth space for every vowel will help you tremendously. As a voice teacher id say your voice is " too far back", meaning its not resonating in the mask . ( Im used to working with opera singers who need to project without a microphone) Humming and practicing on "ng" would help that, but we create our own unique sound, so if you are happy with your sound, dont mess with it. Very good work. Imagine if you sang 2 hours a day ( morning and evening)

    i have sung almost everyday of my life since conception and it makes me so happy to see other people go thru their own vocal journey :") its really magical to see what one can achieve by simply just doing it. people always ask me how to sing better (im not that good) and honestly, ive just been singing to songs my whole life that the casual level at which i sing at is just second nature. i think a lot can be learned subconsciously from just doing something repeatedly. drilling things into habit can make things come as easily to you as it does someone who is naturally gifted

    Such an amazing transformation!! Honestly I think your natural relaxed voice already sounds really good, once you're able to hit notes accurately without thinking you're gonna kill it!! One exercise that's really fun and goofy is finding a random sound you hear (fire alarm, siren, etc) and just pitch matching it or harmonizing with it for giggles (you'll be able to hear it blend in when you pitch match).

    You've got a naturally great voice! It's deep, warm, and rich. The way you keep doing the mouth covering technique reminds me a lot of myself doing the lip trills haha. It's all about feeling and finding the sensation to be conscious of how a good vocal coordination is and keep sustaining. Anyway, I'm sure you'll be a great singer with your lovely voice! Keep singing and all the best!

    Love your confidence! Kudos to putting yourself out there. I just started training with an accomplished opera singer these last few months after beating my head against a wall for years and my voice has grown tremendously.
    Can't recommend enough having a great vocal coach if you're able to afford one. The improvement I see with a coach versus without one is a massive difference for me personally. (I've trained with numerous vocal coaches, but for whatever reason everything is finally clicking with this latest instructor who also just happens to be an internationally acclaimed opera singer and one of the greatest overall musicians I have ever worked with in my life.)
    I'm singing C#5's now in full voice which I never thought I would be able to do.
    One thing I would recommend that my instructor is emphasizing in our lessons that I feel like I see you doing throughout this video is focusing too much on "how you sound" versus shaping your entire body into an instrument for singing.
    Vowel positions, jaw placement, posture, position of the larynx, coordination of the onset, whether or not you're engaging in proper breath support, etc. are fundamental to producing pleasing tones. The more you focus on how you sound at the expense of how you are generating sound, the more your overall sound may suffer unless you're simply getting lucky. Can be really easy for us as creatives in general to rely on luck or "inspiration" but we don't want to rely on inspiration, we want to rely on technique.
    Then if inspiration comes to dance alongside our technical foundation we are all the more blessed by the muses of music.
    Anyways, I'm sure you're receiving a lot of advice that may or may not contradict itself (best of luck in reconciling all of it - it's a process and your journey and particular instrument is uniquely your own to navigate) but thought I would throw my two cents in as another developing singer.
    Subscribed and looking forward to witnessing your unfolding process!

    • @bsidewavy
      @bsidewavy  Рік тому +4

      That’s sweet to hear and I’m excited since I’m getting my first vocal lessons soon. Hoping to experience something similar to you!
      That’s true though because with right technique your sound will naturally come and won’t be forced. But as a recording artist I guess I definitely rely on trying to sound good since I hear back my take right away but I’m focusing on my technique to get a better sound.

    This video was so inspiring. It's so encouraging to see you improve in just 30 days. I used to practice every day when I had a more relaxed job but since starting a very intense one 2 years ago I kind of stopped more practice and felt very discouraged at how much range and skill I'd lost. You've encouraged me not to give up and to start recording myself every day no matter how bad I think it is. Thanks ^__^

  • @saraht1three
    @saraht1three 10 місяців тому +27

    I loved this. As someone who’s self taught in everything, there’s so much value in finding your way thru feeling. The breath control will come, it was the last thing for me and it changed everything. Isn’t it so rewarding when something just clicks?! I found more breath control when I started singing every note with “na na na” because you can feel the closeness of your vocal cords, it also helped me actually looking at a picture of what the vocal cords look like to see how they’re supposed to be closed, which will add richness to your tone, reduce the air coming out with each note, and allow you to sing longer without gasping for more air. Any air you’re not dedicating to sound should be kept back. I’m absolutely no expert so if anything I said is wrong anybody can feel free to correct me. I just know sometimes it’s helpful to hear things stated in a non-professional way because when you’re not trained the formal terms don’t help as much as the feeling and the way someone explains something is everything. Only you can apply those explanations with your own mind-body connection. I was pushing way too hard, trying to bubble out to top or my stomach for a while because I saw it in some video, breathing from my feet for a while because I saw it in some video, and none of that worked for me as much as thinking about expanding my mid to lower back when breathing, and thinking about all my sound coming from my solar plexus. My point is everyone is different and everyone will give you their advice, but do what works for you, and build on every “click” you achieve. ❤

    I can relate so much to this. I started vocal lessons last year, continuing now. Lots of things you said and struggled with resonated with me. I love being self-taught in many things. But I have to admit that having someone that knows the anatomy of singing (and there's so much of it that I'm still trying to figure out) is great help. I love seeing you, myself and everyone else that is just beginning, getting more confident to try things and increase the volume a little bit. That's what's freeing our voice to do its own thing and open new doors of improvement. Everyone faces different obstacles. Confidence, notes, colours, placement... I'd say, get inspired but never compare. It's very hard not to but comparing takes us so many steps back when in reality, everyone has a unique voice and can do unique things with it.
    I love your dedication. You have a very beautiful, nostalgic and calming voice. I'd love to hear more. Keep it up!

    As someone with a deviated septum who was always teased for my voice by my peers, by strangers on the internet, and even one of my teachers in elementary school who plugged her nose to mock me in front of the class, I just never had the confidence to sing in front of strangers.
    Watching you practice, make mistakes, and then surprise yourself when you hit some nice notes was awesome to watch. I could never be this vulnerable in front of a camera, and you really improved SO much in just a short time.

    People may not understand how important to witness such things are. Coming from my own experience of developing my own voice, i always heard others best takes. I would almost never hear anyone fail since i didnt have ppl singing around me since i was the only one and all i could hear is ppl all over the internet. And this focus on weaknesses, bad parts and what not killed my enthusiasm and desire to sing so, so many times to the point where id sometimes stop singing for months if not over a year.
    We all go through the process of improvement and our mistakes are ours to own. Its ok to be where you are even though it may not feel like it.
    Realize that literally EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING at some point sucked at singing. Literally. No person came to the singing world singing like a pro. And everyone, im betting, made mistakes while improving.

    Actually really impressed with your vocals. You absolutely have the voice, control is really all you need to focus on. You nailed it on Adore You. That song really fits your voice well.
    You're also really brave for putting yourself out there. I'm one of those people who actually can sing decently. I definitely have no voice to be trying out for American Idol or anything but was in honors choir in grade school yet still won't sing in front of other people unless of course, when I was an in a group where no one could pull out my voice from the others lol. Trying out for honors choir, in front of just my choir teacher was hard enough. Trying out for solos just didn't happen lol even in my 30s, get me in a car by myself or singing when no one else is home, I may not sound like a superstar but I rock it like I am but if anyone is around I don't sing lol.
    I've been through a hella lot in my life as a disabled person with a rare disease so I don't get embarrassed easily. With my medical history, if I go to the hospital or a doctor's appointment and have to take off my clothes for whatever reason, I can rip those babies off faster than a stripper. I can talk about my bowel movements in great detail and as easily as if I were talking about the weather or something. When I was paralyzed I had to be totally re-potty trained. Although that's probably the most humiliating experience of my life and took 8 months, by about month three, I got to a point where I could crack a joke at my own expense about peeing the bed as an adult, buy a plastic bed cover, and Depends at the store as easily as I could buy a gallon of milk and could tell the medical staff ” Better your bed than mine” lol.
    With that.being said, I'm still extremely uncomfortable singing in front of someone and you sang in front of god knows how many someone's. So, voice aside, I have to give you a lot of credit for that. You have the voice and that's the biggest and most important part. Some say everyone can sing. I'll be brutally honest. I was a sign language interpreting major and I know some Deaf individuals, one in particular who was born totally deaf and had never heard a sound in his life but was born to a very musically inclined family and learned to play the drums and sing by feeling family members throats and trying to match the vibrations. I also know hearing individuals who can sing nowhere near as well as some of these Deaf individuals. Not saying their a lost cause but some of them can hear perfectly fine yet sound like a cat giving birth while being attacked by another animal lol.
    You have a good voice and some control so have a lot of potential and obviously don't have a deathly fear of singing in front of others so give yourself credit where credit is deserved. Thanks for sharing this with us.
