Administrator Robert Lunte Posted February 7, 2013 Administrator Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sounds ok, but your phonation or singing is so light and under supported its hard to judge it on anything, its almost vapor. You need to get some vocal fold compression and get some muscle online... You need to train. What program are you training with?

TMV World Legacy Member skim97 Posted February 8, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ok, Thank you so much for taking the time to listen. So should I sing louder? I don't what phonation, under supported, and vocal compression is. And I have no program. My family can't afford one. Lastly, did you get my email I sent you? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Gina Ellen Vocalist Posted February 8, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sounds mostly in tune so that's a great start. If you get some 'diaphragm support' this will help you alot. Just search on this forum and you'll get a ton of stuff. I have a blog post on this which may help http://singersvoice.wordpress.com/2012/06/16/breathing-from-your-diaphragm-and-support-explained-simply/ Get the basics underway and post back in a few weeks Professional vocalist in Devon, England.

TMV World Legacy Member skim97 Posted February 8, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 8, 2013 Robert's right. You're undersinging, and that's causing a bunch of issues. You also need to work on diction and vowels, but without proper support you'll have an uphill battle. An easy way to begin finding your voice is to laugh loudly. A nice boisterous laugh, known as a guffaw, will create a brilliant, ringing tone with great support. An easy exercise involves transitioning from this type of laugh into a sung tone... the laugh is the voice at its most robust. Try it and you'll find that it's a lot of fun to do. It's a nice singing shortcut. JustinOthersinger: beserkerlurker@gmail.com Does under singing mean that I sing too dull and quiet? Would enunciation fix my diction and vowels? Is support pushing out the lower belly and sticking it out as you sing? Sorry for all the questions:) I'm a beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member skim97 Posted February 8, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ok, Thank you! I feel like my pitch is always way off. How do I fix pitch? Is there something I need to do or think? When doing scales on my guitar, I can hit near the pitch. But when listening to a instrumental, I have no clue what pitch it is?

TMV World Legacy Member skim97 Posted February 8, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 8, 2013 Also could you explain the vowels part more? If the lyrics are: Here in your presence, all things are new How would I sing it? While singing, I was just telling myself to speak the lyrics.

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted February 9, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 9, 2013 pitch is easily affected by tension, which is why those singers that engage in tension based techniques always have pitch problems. Drop me an email, my address is below, and we can continue our convo. I'll be happy to help. Nothing to add. Just liked the tagline in the sig.
