TheNewGuy Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 It would mean a lot if anyone would critique this short piece and suggest anything that needs working in my vocal technique. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sing closer to the mic. And you are changing keys in the song. Pick one and stick with that. You might have a problem with intervals (distance between notes.) Once you stick with a certain key or dominant tone, this should clear up.

ElWin Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ron's right about the changing of keys. It is strange because you can obviously sing a melody (as opposed to someone who is obviously tone deaf) but you obviously just aren't hearing it right in your head. As has been said on the Hallelujah post - try singing to a backing track and try to find a way to listen to yourself as you sing using monitors or headphones.

TheNewGuy Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ok, I'm music illiterate, so how would I train myself to hear pitch? Are there any good online or literary resources where I can learn more about these sort of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElWin Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 It isn't so much training yourself to hear pitch as to replicate what you hear. I generally take the view that if you just listen and sing along with the track quietly in the background then you will hear where your pitch doesn't match. Also - slow it down a bit to give yourself more time to visualise the next note - you were singing Man In The Mirror a lot faster than the original. Obviously the surefire solution is to get a vocal coach but if that isn't an option there are some good online courses and loads of videos on YouTube that are very good.
