2 year singing transformation

But why am I showing you this?
I started to sing on January 2021 when I was 14.
That was something I always wanted to do but because of that it was also something I was always running away from. I basically lied to myself saying that i hate singing even though I exactly knew deep down that I want to sing well. But one day i saw how a certain person sang which eventually broke the barrier which was keeping me from doing it. I then started to practise everyday by myself through KZbin videos because I couldn’t tell anyone. I had to force myself everysingle day to face my terrible terrible voice which always let me doubt if I would achieve a level of good singing. It was crucial. My voice was something I was most ashamed of. But I never stopped doing because I had faith. I wasn’t born with a singing voice but I decided to still chase after it because the chance of seeing the outcome is enough to convince me. I know my voice now is not brilliant but it’s better than yesterday and the day before and when I began. Im working on it. And I will get better.
Before I was able to sing a right note I said to myself that I believe that hard work can surpass talent.
And because of that I believe you can also.
What I showed you was a glimpse of my Vocal journey. You can furthermore witness my progress through the several covers I already uploaded here on my Channel.
I also started to release my own music where you can see how much my Vocals has transformed.

Hello dear stranger :) Check out my CURRENT SINGING VOICE on my new Music video!!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGfQh5R4bcmnaZYsi=XUKio4vTvMqz_DXc And check out my current SINGING VOICE with my newest song I made by myself: open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/66YyZcw8VWozJWxHYYqprv?si=RSkuWrDrRoCKM5k8ElYwNA&nd=1&dlsi=e2449fd845924d9c I am so overwhelmed by the amount of support and touching words here in the comments also in my instagram Dm’s and my Email. All of that is just too much for a 16 year old like me to handle. 2 years ago, when I wasn’t able to hit one single note properly and just sounded like a tyrannosaurus rex laying eggs, I said with so much fear, doubt and desperation but most importantly with confidence that I will prove to myself and to the world that hard work can surpass talent. That 14 year old David said he will inspire millions of people one day. Fast forward to now 1320 beautiful people decided to follow my journey and 100.000 have watched this video with 6500 liking this video. Without God's help nothing would be possible. All Glory to Him. THANK YOU But this singing journey of mine is one of the few things I worked on disciplined I also worked on my music producing, composing, songwriting, editing and playing all the instruments such as Piano, Drums, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Electric Guitar and Saxophone skills in those 2 years where I also can make this kind of transformation video. I decided to work very hard on those aspects to create my own songs by myself. And Im very happy to tell you that 4 SONGS are already OUT "About You" kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGfQh5R4bcmnaZYsi=XUKio4vTvMqz_DXc distrokid.com/hyperfollow/davidtran/about-you "Nightmare" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYvXi2prjZ2aqLMsi=SBn5PrXXE0h5M-1z distrokid.com/hyperfollow/davidtran/nightmare “Stuck In The Paradise” kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4WthoejZ9WHhdk distrokid.com/hyperfollow/davidtran/stuck-in-the-paradise “Daydream” kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJeseIl3orCsbck distrokid.com/hyperfollow/davidtran/daydream I even put more effort into my songs because not only my singing skills are required but all of my other skills. Its especially really hard because I’m doing everything by myself. I know it sounds like an annoying Promotion but it would mean the world to me if you can support that since I’m VERY desperate because my lack of marketing skills. So please feel free to E-mail me: [e-mail] Or DM me: instagram.com/david.tran06/ Also I saw many comments saying that I should work on my belting because it sounds like I’m screaming. Thank you so much for pointing out and also giving me tips! I am no brilliant singer yet I do know that. I know what I need to work on. I will get better trust me. Since many people asked what I do to train my voice… What I did was watching A LOOT of KZbin videos such as „how to improve singing“ After watching that I started to sing songs I love everyday and then realized where my weaknesses are in singing which was for example breathing properly and runs and riffs also singing high, falsetto and all that so I made a Plan. Like a workout plan. The KZbinr “Jacobs vocal academy” saved my life he has a looot of videos of like “Chest voice workout, falsetto workout, runs and riffs workout“ and so on. So I made a Plan which consists a certain different vocal workout everyday. For example Monday: Chest voice Tuesday: Head voice Wednesday: mixed voice And so on… I also included the „daily beginner vocal exercises“ which I really recommend. Before every workout I did a vocal warm up also from “Jacobs vocal academy and after the actual workout I did a cool down. And after all that workout I sang many songs with Piano or guitar to practise actually singing songs. It’s very hard to force yourself every single day to do your plan which you will put together yourself. You have to be Consistent that’s key.

[@miniweeddeerz1820]

everybody's voice can sound great just need to find the right type for your voice. Not everybody can sing like Celine Dion/JB (and theres alot of them singing on the streets/bars) but that does not mean your voice cant be iconic(ed sheeran, dua lipa etc). Practice the extent of your voice, once you can use it on command just put soul and musicality then congrats your a singer. Fame on the other hand takes lots of luck and more.

I wanna ask u please My voice(my normal voice while talking or singing a simple song ) is really awful I do love singing but everytime I get confused of my voice , should I give up?

[@divadance1202]

@@farah-bk9lfno, don’t give up! Everybody can improve, with know-how and practice. Take some lessons with a teacher. If you’re having trouble with talking also, that probably means (but I’m guessing because I haven’t heard you) you are not breathing enough and not using your air efficiently. Speak and sing using your breath and air flow. Gently blow over your finger and make sure you have a similar airflow when singing. Take better breaths and speak/sing with energy. Again, I’m guessing. Good luck, hope it helps some. But I suggest voice lessons.

Thank you for showing me what is possible.

[@dbanksey216]

I'm 54 now, started 19 months ago, It was a long painful KZbin journey for me, loads of frustrations along the way, but here I am today and I can pretty much sing 95% of most songs now. If your going to do it, just save some cash and get vocal lessons. I managed to do it via KZbin and Various Online Courses, but if I could go back in time now, 12 lessons would have given me enough to correct all the things I was doing wrong. I can now sing low, high, mixed voice, it all came together for me, so it is definitely possible, as long as you still have a head voice, i.e, can talk like mickey mouse, its not too late to be able to belt high notes, in a fuller sounding chesty mix, once you learn how to do it.

[@HighTimeQ]

You can do it! I started a year or 2 ago. I sound a lot better than I did before It's all about doing the exercises and applying yourself. People will say stuff but keep going because a baby don't care if it looks foolish when it's learning to walk, it keeps going. You can do it. You have time on your side

[@dbanksey216]

@@HighTimeQ Totally agree, and people need to realise, its not a quick process. It takes time, it takes dedication, you need to do the exercises Daily and most important, do them correctly. Breath Support, Resonance, Placement, pharyngeal are all things I wish I had learnt in the first few months, and done the exercises on the back of them. If you do the exercises without learning all that stuff first, 9/10 you will be singing from your throat and doing them wrong and getting no where. I wish I could go back 2 years and tell my younger self this.

Hey man, it's normal to feel frustrated. I've been singing basically since I was born and took a bit of voice lessons. And I noticed that alot of ur problem really stems from ur anxiety. I recommend trying to relax even on high notes. It will feel a little awkward and counter intuitive since you wanna be louder and higher, but when you try to sing louder and essentially scream the song, it leads to poor control and technique. I hope this helps, keep it up king.

[@goldenhourss]

can someone learn how to support while singing? i struggle a lot with it and i run out of air lol also the recordings played back really humble my ass

[@JurisPanganiban]

@@goldenhourss The ugly truth is that our recordings will always sound worse than what we hear 😔. But regarding support. Besides just learning songs and making sure to take breaths between lines. While breathing, you expand ur stomach but not ur chest. This ensures ur chest has breathing room and lets you have better control. If ur struggling to take in air fast while singing, another tip is to breathe with ur nose and ur mouth at the same time. I personally don't do this as I don't really struggle with breath management nowadays. Hope it helps

I don’t think anyone should ever be ashamed of their voice. You know the saying that the eyes are the gateway to the soul, for me, the voice is the gateway to the heart. This timeline of your voice is a reflection of how you’ve grown as a person, even if I don’t know what you’ve been through. My point is as humans we all grow, our hearts mend more easily as the more pain we feel the more we are able to come to terms with it and be stronger. We become better people much like our voice becomes better. The voice is a reflection of you, your identity and what you love, and from what I can hear… it’s bloody beautiful mate, keep it up ❤

[@35mmonica]

that's a beautiful way to think about the voice.

[@nel2670]

i know this was meant in a complimentary way and i'm not trying to criticise your analogy (although I guess that's what im doing), but personally to me that makes it sound like if your voice is ugly, so are you, your identity and what you love, which understandably creates more insecurity/shame. but the growth analogies are very nice and true, and I also believe David has a gorgeous voice

[@LittleOwl2003]

@@nel2670 It’s not a subject of beauty, just because someone sounds slightly pitchy or has an unpleasant sounding voice, their voice is their voice, and the fact it is still their voice is what is beautiful, one’s own identity is still something to be proud of and plus voices can always be improved upon, how far it gets them is subjective. My point is there is no ugly voice, at least for me, think about it, sometimes especially in Musical Theatre or any kind of Acting, voices are all for the purpose of shaping the character so whether it is unpleasant on the ears, it’s still serving it’s purpose that sticks with you and perhaps endears you to it

Thank you for having the courage to post this. You’ve given me the push I needed

[@basielu]

as an aspiring musician healing from voice repulsion, this nearly made me cry. thank you for posting this. ❤️

[@p1scesdreamer629]

I have trouble enhancing my art and trying to get to the level i want it be. You're truly inspiring

[@Fringebaitx]

Thank you for this. This gives me encouragement when I get discouraged during practice. Time consuming but effort always pays off❤

[@Peter-rn5bu]

Don't compare, strive for your own meaning and greatness. Your journey has been a pleasure to see. Keep becoming more capable and beautiful. Lots of respect, and wishing you hope and success.

[@lallygamer4062]

The fact that today I also didn’t wanna run away from my dream and starting following my first voice lesson on KZbin and after practicing and recording I already felt like giving up. The universe doesn’t want me to quit lol. I totally relate to the feeling of being insecure and wanting to not tell anyone that I want to start singing. The problem is I don’t have a studio or the perfect time and place to sing freely like you do but I’ll still try.

[@stephanielupercio3168]

I'm inspired, I appreciate your vulnerability, without sharing those frusting moments I won't have been able to relate. I stopped singing for a while because I gave up. but seeing your transformation has motivated me! also you're young af! your going places

[@megandodgebrown5641]

Hardly anyone is willing to share this part of the process. Im so proud of you and inspired by you to work towards my music goals.

[@belokol]

What surprised me the most was your discipline and perseverance. Definitely perseverance overcomes what happiness cannot reach. Your voice right now is so beautiful, congratulations.

[@andreasedner3062]

Bro this video is everything I’m so proud of you bro Also very proud of the great and funny content while being vulnerable

[@bentoben]

this is really inspiring, thank you for making this video

[@middledog466]

you are so wonderful for sharing your progress in such a way. especially sharing your frustrations. i'm crying watching this, that's such a vulnerable thing to do. you are awesome.

[@a.k.khalil3598]

Hey David! I'm not sure if you'll see this but you're doing an amazing job. You've improved so much over the past two years and I hope that you never give up on your dreams of becoming an even better singer than you already are. The truth about singing is that it's way more difficult than people may realize and I'm so happy to see that you have the determination to keep practicing and improving. There will always be difficulties and room for improvements or adjustments as you age but KEEP GOING! KEEP PROGRESSING! I hope to see you on a huge stage one day, telling everyone your story and showing us all what the power of hope, discipline and faith can produce. Also, you're still young, so please be patient with yourself! If you could accomplish this much now, imagine how much you'll be in the future. I pray that God blesses you abundantly and that all your dreams come true!

[@harryputrawijaya5748]

Keep it up

[@daviedood2503]

Thanks man appreciate it -David

[@MrAlanPollo]

Holysht.. You're very inspiring and relatable man. I'm sure this video can't even show the whole struggle that would go through your head every time there's a little down in that rollercoaster of improvement as it is never linear. Keep on going, it looks like you're going in the right direction.

[@justinchew766]

This is a super motivating video to watch. Thank you showing us that it’s possible to sing to a high calibre!

[@whyflyguy007]

Watching you at the start ... Really struggling through - even though it's embarrassing - we've all been there.. I can't help but think, what a bloody legend pushing through .. Wasn't even expecting the transformation.. unreal, truly inspirational. Bravo

[@ArjunBalgovind]

This hits so close to home. I had been trying to learn to sing for years but I absolutely hated my voice and it wasn't until a year or two ago when I started watching more KZbin videos and taking online lessons from a vocal coach that I became more comfortable with my voice. I was always told that "singing is a natural born talent" but now I've learnt that it's just another instrument that you can learn if you put in the effort. It wasn't until a year ago that I became comfortable uploading covers on KZbin and I got the confidence after a karaoke night with my friends that were really supportive of me. I still have a long way to go and I'm not yet comfortable performing live or recording a "one-take" cover but this video has inspired me to keep pushing forward ❤. Thank you for sharing this, it's amazing to see how far you've come!

[@user-ki7so9pc8r]

Huge difference! You sound great! This is so inspiring

[@mikelu6845]

me being lucky to start with the 2023 version of you, still working! Good Luck to you

[@chrissilva7968]

The voice is actually another instrument that we all have to learn to use, ty for this video, you give me inspiration for my singing learning process

[@kevincallejas3408]

So inspiring to see your progress David. I also started my journey to learn not only sining, but train myself in many other areas. You're inspiring, keep up the great work, you'll inspire millions my man 🙏🏽

[@chanellegarcia]

This is such an inspirational video! Thank you for being so thorough in sharing your tips, epiphanies, struggles and vulnerable moments. I've been in the process of learning how to sing over the past 2 years but have been really lazy with practicing. This video is inspiring me to find a more regular routine and to be less judgmental of myself ❤

[@babydivauk]

Wow. This bought tears to my eyes. I’m looking forward to hearing songs by you in the radio

[@jonathanvillegaspera5322]

Dude, you improved a lot, congrats, keep pushing it

[@lisamhendrixmd3086]

Thank you for the courage you’ve shown to post your amazing transformation!!! Your hard work absolutely paid off!!!💜💜💜

[@ashikaraj5187]

I cried watching this... You are amazing for doing this for yourself. I'm cheering you on with all of your music goals!! ☺️💕

[@RockSingingSuccess]

The progress you made in this time is truly incredible. You followed your dreama and achieved your goals. All I can say is bravo, fantstic job! I can't wait to hear more

[@AncientlightInsights]

You’re incredible! Your dedication is Inspiring! Thanks for sharing your journey. You’re sounding better each time.

[@sethledsings]

This is so inspiring man. Thank you for putting this out.

[@barryb.benson7572]

Your dedication even when things got tough are incredibly admirable! This is really motivating for me

[@nanalalalalanana557]

This comes to me at the right time and I am telling you that you are beautiful in your progress....No matter what your singing is now something new to me that holds a unique value...I am gonna check your stuff ☺

[@bindiyatamang8218]

You encouraged me to practice everyday until it gets better and not to give up on what you like doing the most and on your dreams 🖤🖤🖤🌼

[@rcrook9000]

Amazing transformation. This is really inspiring.

[@sikcrafts]

this is probably the most uplifting thing ive seen on youtube. I thank you buddy.

[@marybellegarcia]

I started learning how to sing at 23 and struggled in a way similar to what you've shown here. I only found my amazing voice coach when I was 26. No regrets cause she's helping me so much in discovering that singing doesn't have to be so complicated and difficult. I'm enjoying it so much more now that I've learned more about letting go. Keep up the good work! Some of the music majors I've met here Taiwan only start learning voice at 16! Looking forward to your growth!

[@JazminnJohnsonMusic]

You better sing!!! I am learning that shouting is the enemy when trying to go for big notes I used to shout and lose control but when you lower your volume it’s beautiful.

[@BeholdIamaNewCreation]

This is inspiring, honestly, great testimony to see you testing yourself, and not giving up.

[@Quickshadow10]

I am the same age as you and you did great! I started my journey a few months ago, admittedly starting off much better because I sing alot because of Church. I've made a ton of progress in even 2 months, and this is a huge encouragement to me. Thanks man :)

[@AdrianMark]

Hey David, great job in 2 years. Your improvement is so amazing, in such a fast time. Keep going, you can reach your dream.

[@theodemaria1872]

i freakin feel you brother lol, learning to sing by ourselves is not an easy task, im on my sixth year now, and finally im being able of sounding a lil bit like the way i wanted to, but there's still a big road to up ahead, hope you keep getting better, fella

[@sarawatexpo3030]

I'm so proud of you, recently I gave up, I really can understand that feeling of frustration but you're doing great hope you can achieve your dreams.

[@kawai.monsuta]

This video is actually perfect ❤ from day 1 till 2023 you showed us it's always ok to restart thing's again 💕thank you so much motivating us... I am obsessed with ur new cover 😍

[@akane8615]

I love that you laugh when you first started but looking at how more serious and frustrated you become as time goes by, remind me of myself when I'm stuck. Those feeling are not good for ur growth, no matter what u do try and enjoy it. Remember to always have fun as you go.

[@zichxyna7]

I think it was really brave of you to record yourself when starting, so many people run the other way when they listen to themselves! I think anyone who thinks they can never sing should watch this, and see that singing is a skill that can be acquired with hard work,. I hope your journey keeps inspiring many young singers out there. Top that off you are still so young and your voice still has years to naturally mature! Give it another 10 years and you will be blown away if you keep at it!

[@Virtual-Media]

Thanks for sharing your journey, I'm certain it will lead you to becoming an amazing vocalist!

[@modernmusicstudio303]

This is amazing! Shows the true progress and what is possible. Well done!

[@1PNZR]

Not sure who said it, but i quote it: "Nobody is born with talent. Thats a bag full of shit. Its ALOT of practice behind that voice. And anybody, can find their own voice, if they put time into searching for it" This proves him right. Good job, keep it going and never give up. 👍🙏

[@justin9494]

unrealistic

[@rerose9780]

Alot of people are born with talent, my sister literally lives with me and does not practice singing. Just has a naturally good singing voice. She sings much better than this guy. And he put in 2 years of practice. Its reality, some people just got it like that, some dont and have to put in way more effort.

[@Katsumicchi]

@@rerose9780 exactly

[@carlospalaguachi3891]

I’d say his talent was to never give up and keep going. When he attempted Zayn’s highly note was really impressive. Keep going

[@habibi9612]

i believe talent is something you can be born with, however that alone will not make u great, practice is what does that

[@lunarann6912]

I can't imagine what it's like consistently listening to yourself sing for training. I never used to listen to myself sing when I first started out (at a young age) and I shudder anytime I hear myself singing in the past (one year ago+) Good on you!
