I have a BIG problem on doing clean runs (especially on fast passages)

any advice please?  :whistle: 

here's a recording of my voice ;

I LOVE R&B, and you know how r&b has those craaaazy runs that i never seem to get *sigh*

comments and criticism are much much appreciated :)

heres my newest cover.

its actually the highest key i've attempted (i still have mix/bridging problems)

I know my highest notes sound weird

Its just so hard gah.

Thank you in advanced for the comments/advices.

here's my cover of chris brown's "fine china" :

any tips/advice/comments are much much appreciated.

and I'd like to know about my voice type too :)

anyone?

Hello there. I'm a male and just turned 20

here's my cover of JoJo's "demonstrate"

any comments or tips are much much much much appreciated as i'm looking for tips on how to improve myself.

thank you!

Here's the link :

much thanks in advanced!

oh okay. wait.

you guys really cleared things up for me.

I honestly thought that all my notes were chest voice up to G#4

but i took some time experimenting and researching

and so i guess that my chest voice is only up to my break? (mine's at F4)

and that all those notes above it are strong head voice with chest voice qualities?

Is this correct? or am i wrong again? LOL

I also notice i have this weird problem singing F4 up to A4. maybe because I'm using too much chest?

but when its Bb4 to C5 it feels less less less strained.

So probably i have to work on this "bridging" thing you guys are talking bout right?

Yea it's head voice. Specifically, twang in the head voice with a high larynx and a bright vowel "aa". So it has a piercing quality that makes it sound loud and helps it cut through music, and it is perfectly healthy, but ultimately you're probably going to want to bring it back to a darker color so it sounds boomy, not quacky. You do that by using a darker vowel (such as "uh") and lowering the larynx. Easier said than done though, it takes a lot of training to get used to. I highly recommend the vocal program "The Four Pillars of Singing 2.0" if you're interested in getting into that kind of stuff.

Oh wow thanks!

can you clear something up for me though?

I've had an impression that tenors hit the infamous C5 with chest voice.

but i guess i was wrong? up to what notes are chest voice and from which notes do singers usually use head/mixed voice? hmmm.

Hi there everyone.

I'm a tenor (aged 19) and my range has always been around c3 and up to G#. and those G#'s are really just on lucky days!

But today something extraordinary happened...

I was blindlessly singing to the radio when i realized.

"wait.... how can i be singing this song so effortlessly??" (the key was high, i never could even sing the chorus)

I ran to the piano and started going up the scale.

I was astonished at A4 Bb4! Even more surprised at B4! I couldnt believe my ears at C5!!! whats scarier is that i think i went up to a D5 or something....

What i'm curious about this discovery is... am i really doing this in chest voice or am i deceiving myself?

singing these high notes feel weird. It doesnt feel much strained or anything... but its just.. so.. LOUD???!!!

here are some clips for you to judge;

1) playing around LOL

2) The C5.

and an C#5 attempt?

yes. my ears hurt...

https://www.box.com/s/25c5f525409e92153e26

it could be wrong technique or something. i stopped hitting those C5's cuz i'm scared i would damage my voice or something since it sounds weird.

And its actually sooo hard to control these notes in a song. They go like BANGBANGBOOOOMVROOOSH out of control! Like trying to contain lightning in a bottle??!

How do i get better?

I'm still recovering from the shock of hitting C5 LOL.

Greetings.

Thank you so much for the replies!

To dante ;

Ah.. my voice really needs time to develop..

And Yes i was singing in korean. Lol.

Well the reason i wanted to know what voice type i am is because

there's this vocal academy that holds out auditions every year. Its a very nice acedemy for youths and they do musicals, broadway, acapellas , choirs etc. i kinda missed the audition. But recently they re-open the auditions BUT the notice says they're only wanting lyric or spinto tenors.i didnt even know what these terms were until i google them. Lol. And i asked just wanted to know if i qualified. thanks :)

Hey everyone

I'm a 19 year old male.

I'm pretty sure i'm a tenor since a lot of people have pointed out that for me.

But i wonder which category i fall in to?

leggero,lyric,spinto,dramatic or heldentenor?

it's really hard to judge my own voice

so here's a link to my voice sample :

its a mashup of my parts during a recording session ;

Thank you so much in advanced.
