    Help! How is my voice?

    Marshall,

    I listened to your file... 

    You have a nice tone to your voice and clearly have lots of potential... and you seem to "feel" your singing. It is soulful. I think you have what it takes to be a great singer and this is a nice "thing" you posted. It is however,

    1). A bit pitchy... if you are going to sing a cappella, give yourself a cue with a pitch pipe and make sure you remain in that key.

    2). With this clip, it is hard to determine your range or voice type. We would need to know your voice better and train with you in a lesson. I am going to go out on a limb here and just take an educated guess, but it cannot be validated given the lack of content we have to listen to, but I would guess that you are a tenor.

    Regarding range.. if you want range, most people have to train... per my points above... that requires that hunker down and get to work... training the musculature required to do it, learning about vowels, learning how to balance your respiration, etc... lets call this "Extreme Singing"... to do that, you have to train.  Can you do it? Sure, I think so based on what I heard, but the only thing that is standing in your way is frankly... your decision to make a commitment to training and working on it. That would mean you invest in a training program with good content in it and you get a coach... precisely what Kevin and I do for people. You want to expand your range?  You want to have the articulation Kevin is advocating and the strength and musculature I am advocating... train. Make a commitment to your singing. Take action, don't just sit with what you got... even if what you got is nice (and it is...), do something with it. Grow it... train. With my program, for most people, in about 90 days ... if you really get after it, you can see major results.. I think its the same with Kevin's program too. You have to just get off your duff and start running around the track. 

    Thanks Robert. I will no doubt look into your course. I would like to increase my range and have better control of my low notes. Also, as stated above, articulation needs a lo of work. I might post something with music in the future!!! Thanks everyone who posted :D

    Ok thankyou all for the posts. My numbering was also screwed up. I though my range was from E3-F5, turns out its E2-F4. When I sang middle C, I thought I was hitting it dead on. Turns out I was singing it an octave lower. So what am I? A tenor still? For some reason this has really deflated me and made me feel like my voice is worse than it actually is. Is the range I have decent?

    Yes, articulation is a big factor here. It's very hard to decipher the lyrics here.

    1. Speak the words first and listen for the consonants and how they are formed. Duplicate them in the song as you would speak them. If your speech is clear, the song lyrics should sound clear.

    You have a nice tone and the pitch is pretty good for singing a capella. Not many people know how to stay in tune without musical backing.

    I would say your biggest issue with this piece was enunciation. Your consonants are a little too sloppy. Other than, it's actually quite good.

    Ok! I will work on that? Really? It's in tune? xD. I couldn't sing a note in tune last year! Anyway, I have another question. At my lessons, we did a range testing exercise. The lowest note I can hit is a E3, the highest in chest is an F5. I can't hit the note on its own. But when it's apart of a slide, I can hit it fine.

    I posted the same video on a different forum and apparently I hit a D3 in this and hardly get past a D4 in chest. Now I know I cannot hit that D3 so I'm confused with why they're saying that. Could it be the recording? I recorded it using an IPhone and I know they're infamous for messing up voices. So what is going on?

    Thankyou very much for your comment. I will soon post with music. I'm surprised you haven't heard the song before. Adele's music is very ballad based, so I'm not sure if your a fan of that genre. I find it rather easy to sing her songs due to our similar ranges, so most of her songs I can sing in the original key. But there is some exceptions, hence this one. She has a lower range than me, which is sad to say I am a 16 year old male.
     
    But anyway, I shall post something soon but it will not sound pleasant. As I have stated above, I struggle with music. Strangely xD

    Hello! Just joined the forum! Great to see a thriving community! 

    I am a beginner singer! I had around about 5 lessons late last year but had to stop them because of prices. 

    Im hoping someone can listen to me sing the last chorus in Adele's hometown glory! I am really struggling with the falsetto notes. Im not sure if they're in tune or sound fitting with the rest!? Please bare in mind; I could not sing a note in tune before lessons!!! Also, this was recorded on my mobile so I apologise for the quality. It is acapella as well. I get really conscious when singing along to music. I know you can't judge me properly with acapella, but is it listenable? If it sounds ok, I'll repost with music. It isn't in the original key also, that is too low for me. Thanks for your time!
