I want to sing but have a TERRIBLE voice :(?
However much I would love to tell you a way to make your voice more pleasant-sounding, I'm afraid that if your voice isn't naturally like that, there isn't much that you can do. Open your mouth tall(notice I said tall, and not wide! Opening your mouth wide creates wide vowels that don't sound pretty at all, tall gives more space!) and raise your eyebrows as you sing, it creates more space in your mouth which will allow for more natural resonance. You should be able to fit three fingers between your lips as you open your mouth, or another test is to see if you have your mouth open wide enough is if you place your finger at the top of your jaw bone, open your mouth until there becomes a crevasse that your finger falls into(it isn't very deep, but you will be able to feel it!). As for the mucus stuck in your throat, avoid dairy products, added sugar(anything with natural sugar and just natural sugar, such as plain fruit, is all right to eat!), and/or caffeine, as they thicken mucus. Drink water as you practice, that will help thin the mucus. Last, if your voice has a nasally sound to it, you either aren't opening your mouth tall enough, or not getting a good enough breath before you sing. Stand tall, with one foot slightly(like an inch by the toe) in front of the other, and shoulders lax. Take a deep breath, if you are breathing correctly your shoulders should not move, and your stomach should expand(as your lungs fill with oxygen, it pushes your diaphragm down and organs out, this all happens naturally so don't force your stomach out!). As I said earlier, if your voice isn't naturally pleasant-sounding, there isn't a whole lot you can do. You can't force it to sound good. However, singing in a choir makes one large voice which, hopefully, sounds beautiful. I've sung in choir for seven years, I don't have the best voice, but in my choir, I'm fine. I hope this helps, and if you need anything else just let me know! =)

How do I tell my boyfriend he is a terrible singer?
I have a different view on this topic. Your problem is you know he is not a good singer but cant hurt him by telling that. But I am sure he himself is aware of his limitation !! don’t worry. But you know singing is such a passion that one just can’t stop even knowing that he may make himself a laughing stock !! What you can advise is to ask him to choose the size and nature of audience. Within a small group it’s not a big issue. You may also ask him to take some better lessons from reputed music teacher. Just find out if he has talent and if so help that flourish. It will take some time for sure.I can tell you that I also try to sing and I know very well I have big limitations ! But I can’t stop and that’s how I read the mind of your boy friend.Just to let you know that there are worse singers also with high aspiration, I paste below a video link of my own upload in YouTube !! You may get some solace to know that your BF is a better singer.NO REPLY by The Beatles
My friend is a terrible singer, but always sings, how should i tell her to SHUT UP!?
Sing along with her in your worst singing voice and when she asks what you're doing, just tell her you thought she was singing badly on purpose.
I am 31 years old and I am a terrible singer but, I want to learn and improve my singing, how can I learn or improve my singing without a teacher?
I will suggest you to practice alankars regularly in the harmonium.I hope you know what alankars are. If not just try to collect as much information about them as you can. Search for how to do riyaz. When you know which simple alankars you need to practice and in which laya and tal you should practice them, start the riyaz and practice in a regular basis for minimum 20–30 minutes. You can also see some tutorials in the you tube about it.The best time to do riyaz is 4 or 4: 30 am in the morning. You can see results after daily practice for 7days.Also look for some voice warmup practices. Mainly do the riyaz in the lower scale in morning(in B flat or A sharp). Sing with an open mouth and with the best voice you can. (Don't think that your neighbours may have problem or anything like that. Feel as if you are alone and sing.)IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, FEEL FREE TO ASK. I AM SURE THIS WILL REALLY HELP YOU.
I have a terrible voice. Is there anything I can do about it?
I would consult with a laryngologist—a medical specialist who focuses on the vocal apparatus and larynx. What stands out most in your description is not the fact that your voice is terrible, but that you are unable to modify or control it properly; this suggests some sort of underlying problem, whether it is physiological (the different parts of your vocal apparatus may not be responding to signals from your brain properly) or cognitive (you may not understand when your voice is at an annoying or unsuitable tone or pitch). The best way to diagnose it properly is for someone who understands the functions of the human voice to analyze your speech in person. Good luck to you!By the way, even if your voice is awful, what your coworker did was incredibly inappropriate. You absolutely were entitled to that apology.
What is a polite way of telling a terrible singer, who likes to sing all the time, to stop singing when I'm in earshot?
How would you feel if people tell you to stop doing what you love?That person you're calling a “terrible” singer probably loves to sing. Well, they definitely love to sing, since they sing all the time. It's their passion, and you're basically telling them to stop it. That can be dream crushing.I love to sing and I also sing all the time. People also tell me to stop singing too, but I still sing, ‘cuz it's what I love doing. One time, someone even phoned the school since they didn't like it when I sing all the time. Everyone yells at me to stop singing. But I still sing anyway, since I love to sing. That person you're calling a “terrible” singer probably feels the same way. People yell at them to stop singing, but they still sing because it's what they love doing.I'm not saying you're a rude person, you probably have an amazing heart, but you are kinda being rude to the “terrible” singer, ‘cuz you're saying they're terrible at singing. As much as you think they're being inconsiderate for singing near you when you don't want them to, they think you're being inconsiderate for saying they're terrible and stopping them from doing what they love.So, there isn't a polite way, since telling them is not polite. Leave them to do what they love.PS: This Disney character named Cadenza said this when Cogsworth told him to play music quieter: “Play quieter. Sotta voce. Do you have any other tasteless demands you want to make?” The “terrible” singer feels the same way when you tell them to stop singing, and I feel the same way when my friends tell me to stop singing. If you don't know who Cadenza is, he is this guy:
Could someone with a terrible voice learn how to sing at a level where he could become a professional singer?
TL;DR anyone can learn to sing, but developing to a professional level takes more than the vocal skills, and not everyone has what it takes.Singing is a skill that can be learned and developed. Anyone with motivation can learn how to sing. Of course the learning process is easier for some than for others.However, I wouldn't say anybody can become a professional. The amount of practice to become any kind of professional musician takes resilience and determination that not everyone has. There is much more to learn than just the vocal skills. Previous musical background like playing an instrument helps a lot.If the person is not able to differentiate pitches very well and needs to train both the ear and the voice, it takes much more time and effort. Then the amount of work required for pro level can be too much, but it's still possible to learn to sing decently and enjoy it. If the voice is not healthy and the cause of a bad sound are rooted in some vocal defects that are hard to correct, it can be a big limitation to overcome.Singing well and making a career (or even living) as a singer are also too different things, and succeeding in the latter often has some amount of luck and other talents involved.In popular music it is possible to succeed with limited vocal skills, if the person is a good songwriter and/or interesting performer. A voice that is not exactly pleasant can even be unique and interesting if the singer is able to use it expressively and communicate with the audience.If the goal is to be pro level in a genre that actually requires a solid vocal technique, you don't necessarily know what you get before you start training. The voice is just raw material, a rough diamond that is refined in the process of learning. A legendary opera singer Dolora Zajick has said in an interview that in the beginning her voice was ugly and loud, she had no high notes or low notes. She learned the technique and has been an international star for decades. So an initially "terrible" sound can become something special.
Can a horrible singer ever train themselves to become mediocre?
I think it's pretty hard to go from horrible to mediocre; in my experience, the truly horrible singers almost always either remain horrible or become the best singers.At a certain point you have to ask yourself what's making you so horrible. Do you have a terrible ear? It's pretty rare to find someone whose ear is giving so much trouble as to make them a horrible singer. More often than not, if a singer is really that bad, it's because of something unique about the physiology of that singer. And that uniqueness is often an expression of untapped potential.I think about my path and how I got into opera singing, and the early signs were mysterious and weird. My voice was always loud, my neck always looked different than the other people in my high school, etc.; there were tons of signs that maybe some day, with lessons, I'd be able to sing. But it's really easy to focus on the wrong stuff (I certainly did). I had a hard time staying on pitch, my voice wouldn't focus, and I just generally sounded pretty bad; those same qualities that made my voice unwieldy then make it more impressive when properly wielded now. Put another way, I'm not a singer today DESPITE those aspects of my voice at that point, I'm a singer BECAUSE of them. I don't mean to say that it's true for everyone, but I think any time you're an outlier (at either end of the spectrum) in any field, it's worth examining ALL of the implications thereof.
