agreed. i wasn't paying much attention to pitch on this one, so i expected fluctuations with pitch, but generally my pitch issues usually extend to being sharp or flat at times more than key changes. either way i could benefit from some good ear training to help hear intervals better.

thank you so much for the feedback, everyone, it means quite a lot! c: - i really appreciate it, and will work with what steven fraser and izzle have suggested. and steven fraser, those tips actually really make sense! i will work those into a song and see if i can find an opportunity to upload a clip once i find the opportunity to.

thanks so much for your constructive words and feedback! by legato, do you mean a smooth transition from note to note? and if so, in singing, what are the elements of producing a good legato? does one's articulation affect legato?

hello everyone. i came to this forum because i'm really in a rut, if i do say so myself. i'm 18; i started singing when i was 10. i stopped singing once my voice changed at 13. when i finally turned 16, i started looking for ways to get back the power and balance i used to have. i started with singing success; i tried out the whole program, and while it did help me develop my head voice, i thought it focused too much on extending range. i then found ken tamplin's method, which has helped me tremendously in understanding what i need to do to regain my voice again. he specializes in rock/metal styles, although he also knows a lot about Pop and Soul styles, which is essentially the style i'm looking toward. i've been working with it, and though i feel it's helped me, i can't help but think that throughout exercises i'm subconsciously pulling chest voice even if it doesn't hurt, and my voice is perfectly fine the next day. this is a clip of me playing around, with SSB; not really paying attention to what key i'm singing it in, but all in all, i need help. i'm almost definitely pulling the stuffing out of my chest voice, based on how i broke after holding out that 'e' vowel. i'm surprised i haven't lost my voice yet or developed nodules, but i certainly do not want to start. all in all though, i want to ask you guys for your feedback and advice on what i can do to improve whatever 'technique' i have left, as i'm not very good at analyzing technicalities in the voice, but would certainly love to learn to do so with you guys. https://www.box.com/s/b7f07d884a8e34241486 thanks so much.
