Hi all,
I would like to learn how to sing well. I've tried several vocal couches from where I am from and so far I didn't even learn how to well support my breath - apart from other things like keeping my throat muscles relaxed, finding pocket etc. One of the vocal coaches even believed my vocal chords must be damaged but doctor said they are perfectly ok. To sum it up it seems like I am unable to learn to sing. I will be moving to San Francisco soon so I figured I might give it one more shot and try and find someone who would be able to teach me over there.
This is an example of what I am talking about when I say I cannot figure out how to sing properly, its mix of three songs:
In the first one I try to control my vocal the most and struggle to keep some kind of breath support and relaxed neck - which results in sounding lifeless, slow and listening to it now a bit of key, the second one I let go a bit of the struggle for the support but keep it relaxed which results in small breaks and me not being able to choose when it should sound loud or quiet and overall having very little control but sounding more natural, the last one is my old way of singing which is the easiest for me to control but limiting in range as I strain my neck muscles.
If you knew about someone good near SF who is really able to explain things, and fix bad habits let me please know...
Thanks,
M.
