  1. Thank you Musikman for the feedback and encouragement, also for mentioning Jimmy Scott he is amazing!
  2. Robert thank you again for your comments, I get what you say about needing to find that confidence. KillerKu thank you for the great feedback and specific advice. I am beginning to see that the voice really is an instrument which needs to be learned and practices with no simple short cuts. I am trying the tip you suggested but I have a bit of a sore throat at the moment so will wait to recover from that and use that time to look into my options. Thanks again!
  3. Thanks Robert, I really appreciate your feedback just one thing though I am a woman! Don't worry I am not offended at all if you think I sound masculine I know that it is true not sure why that is really, not sure I like it but it is what it is. If that has any impact on your feedback please let me know also I totally hear what you all are saying about the training and I will give it some thought. Would like to try and improve a bit privately before taking lessons so as not to embarress myself too much. Thank you again
  4. No I wasn't offended at all Gneetapp! I know my voice is a bit androgynous that is what put me off singing for a long time but I am trying to make the best of it. I was just saying in case it affected your or anyone elses feedback. Thank you so much again for your help and advice
  5. Thank you for the feedback Gneetapp and for the the link to the other thread about singing methods seems like a great starting point. I will consider getting a teacher if funds will stretch . Also not sure if you actually mean it that way or not but you called me man and dude and I'm a girl. Maybe I am just being paranoid because I know my voice is quite low. Thank you again so much!
  6. Hello everyone, I am really just wondering if any of you have any advice to help improve my voice, I have only recently started to enjoy singing but I don't enjoy my own voice so much and would love to sing a bit better. I have no ambitions to perform so I probably wouldn't take professional lessons but would consider some kind of home study. It isn't a long clip but it demonstrates my voice (recorded on a dictaphone) which I seem to be able to control better in the lower ranges (I'm female). My main issues are that it lacks power, sounds airy and nasal and I don't much like my diction. Also singing gives me a sore throat after a short while. Here is the clip: https://soundcloud.com/user-344131319/cry-me-a-river-clipwma It actually sounds worse than I realised but its is only singing for fun so any tips would be great!
