Question on singing?
before i answer your question i just have to say the difference between baritones and tenors is that the tenors voice are naturally thin giving them ease sing high notes naturally whislt the baritone voice is usually darker and huskier giving their voice more weight and therefore making it harder to lift to get up there. you have to develop a strong head voice which is hard to accomplish seeing as where most comfortable with our middle voices. Eric Arceneux is a baritone vocal coach/singer on youtube who has a great head voice he can hit alto F! go to this link http://youtube.com/watch?v=MD2NV0-F3w8 by the way even if you do gain the tenor range, the baritone voice will get tired singing tenor quicker than a natural tenor so dont always choose to sing tenor you were gaven a baritone voice use it!
Singing question, How do I make my voice raspy like this guy?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhgbOUVJbNA That is a perfect example how I want to try and get my voice to sound like. You can listen to the whole thing if you please but the mark point in the video is at about 4:23 onward Dustin Kensrue of Thrice has one of the best voices of rock I believe. So HOW in the hell do I get that good? I'm 20 and have been singing for about 5 years, I just can't get my voice to yell without sounding like I'm a 13 year old going through puberty lol
Singing question- Why is my voice breathy?
Just this past month I have been participating in the musical All Shook Up. Being the understudy for Lorraine and a townsperson, I'm doing A LOT of singing. this musical is very loud and fun also, which requires me to make a big sound I'm not trained in doing. they keep saying BELT, so i do that. but i don't think I'm doing it correctly. After doing it what i think is the wrong way for a while, I've noticed my voice is very breathy and weak. My throat hurts a lot, especially when I'm singing in my choir. since I'm so used to singing choiry sounds and I suddenly have to convert to this belty sound, and I think I may have strained my voice. Also, about two weeks ago I had strep throat, which went untreated for about a week, so I don't know if the lack of vocal rest from that has any thing to do with it or if the strain on my voice could have caused strep and continuation of singing made it worse. If it is that I strained my voice, I really need to know how to fix my singing and repair my voice. Reasons I think I'm doing it wrong my voice may be unsupported and I may be breathing more from my chest rather than my diaphram (how do you do that any way?) the cheorography keeps me from singing about my singing and so my singing is not as good as usual i may be over singing since I feel like I'm sort of a leader in the townspeople group. so I could be pushing my voice too hard. I'm really hoping some professionals can help me with my problem. thanks a bunch!
A few singing questions? Getting into your mix & the bass voice.?
What you have listed here is vocal pedagogy and is intended for those who want to teach others how to sing. That is, a teacher would want to make sure that the pupil is managing their breath, the correct facial posture, following the vocal exercise, etc. As far as extending your vocal range, you can only sing the notes that are within your natural vocal range. Unfortunately, there is no method to increase your vocal range. I suggest that you sing scales leading up to and including the high notes, holding the highest note for several seconds. Then progressively repeat the scales a semi-tone higher, again holding the highest note for several seconds. This method will allow you to explore the limits of your natural vocal range but will not expand your vocal range. Online tutorials are wonderful in teaching some of the basics of singing, however, they are severely limited in the way that the tutorials cannot provide you feedback about your vocal progress. As such, a face-to-face session with a voice teacher is best as the teacher can provide advice, guidance and feedback about your singing. Singing a half-vocal scale in the passagio helps somewhat to bridge the area from your chest voice to the mixed voice.
Singing question -- Phantom of the Opera/ head voice?
No no no no no. You are clearly a soprano by your description and should be using primarily your head voice. It is NOT! like a guy's falsetto. It ALWAYS counts into your range. And haven't you noticed that Christine sings in her head voice? a GOOD, STRONG head voice (except for the movie, that was a weak, thin head voice, don't listen to her, find clips of broadway/national tour/west end Christines). Head voice is actually more of real singing than chest voice. It is much more difficult to have a nice, controlled, strong head voice than a belt, unless you're lucky and were born a soprano. You're just so used to hearing pop stars only belting and, when they do use head voice, it's VERY weak because their head voices either suck, or they're just doing a pop-style head voice, which is very weak. And then there are the idiots who call those weak head voices falsetto. Tell me, would you consider this not real singing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5liuHR6w... Or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHUiqTPxQ... (starting at about 4:30) I'd love to hear someone go to an opera singer and tell them that they aren't really singing because they're using "falsetto" and see the reaction of the opera singer. Oh and to the guy who said to learn "real singing" and gave you the link, she's singing in head voice, that guy's just an idiot... Does that answer your question?
Have you heard your singing voice?
Thanks Korey for a2a. Direct answer is ‘yes’. I had a good voice. I could copy songs of subcontinent singers of my time. I did not learn music basics but I could copy. So, I was able to not only sing, record and play back, but also could earn a bit of appreciation for my amateurish effort.Thanks for letting me have this information recorded on Quora!
How do you make a rounded, deep voice while singing?
Easier said than done unfortunately. Takes many many years of training and practise, unless you happen to be born and blessed with a naturally beautiful voice. "Opening the throat" is a term used by singing teachers which you can only understand once you have got it. Singing with the diaphragm is another-you have to lower the diaphragm, fill the chest with a lot of air as if your lungs were like bagpipes, relax the throat (dont tighten the laryngeal muscles).It like you are breathing sideways and your ribcage is expanding outwards so that you draw the air right down into the abdominal parts of your lungs, at the same time you must relax the throat. There is just so much to remember to get the exact physical conditions necessary to produce that rounded sound which is why most people need years of training.
How to sing different notes quickly? (Vocal/Singing Question)?
What I'm talking about is what Alicia Keys demonstrates in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZSzS4_kHCI in the very beginning when she sings the word "In" really long because she's changing the notes quickly and stuff. Mariah Carey also demonstrates it through the very first note she sings in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PIrV69DeGA Strong singers do this thing with their voice where they throw it around a lot, and I want to learn how to do it/correctly practice it and if you know what it's called, that would be extremely helpful :) My voice is a reflection of Mariah Carey (I dont mean to have a big head, sorry) but I still haven't fully mastered how to do this Thank you so much!!
