That’s amazing ❤️.. Congratulations on finding your singing voice. 🎶🎶🤗

I would cringe hearing myself. Always thought it was tone. Never questioned pitch because I'm very good musically and can tune a guitar perfectly by ear. Turns out it is (mostly) pitch. This is exactly what I've been working on and has been the biggest help to me. From what I've watched, you seem like the most helpful /useful KZbin vocal teacher

[@jamesbeazley6622]

people, this works. just do a lotta these. and this is coming from someone who got laughed at for singing. believe in your self :)

[@snipsnap9995]

Wow, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you shared that old recording; It's go good to hear that it's actually possible to start out really bad and still become that good. So many people who say they sounded really bad when they "started" singing actually sounded pretty bad, I was kinda losing hope for myself.

[@nickl2571]

This helped so much. It was like my voice resolution increased ten fold. As if there were tones hiding in the dark and when trying to much much more carefully slide between notes those tones stepped into the spotlight for the very first time. I seriously didn't know I had the capacity to even produce those sounds. Thank you!

Adam, in minutes you improved the quality of my life enormously. I love music in all it entirety and the biggest chip on my shoulder always was that I cannot reproduce music through my voice and cannot sing. It was especially taunting because I knew how awfully wrong I sounded. I just didn't understand how to correct it. When I was told to go higher or lower I just didn't know what exactly does it mean (maybe some brain disorder). You gave me visual crutches (or rocket jet), it is so simple now with a tuner, just practicing. I am so elated. Thank you from my heart! Life just became more beautiful.

[@delulu6969]

I use Vocal Pitch Monitor by Tadao Yamaoka because it displays the pitch in a graph format so that you can analyze more things like inflections, vibratos, and vocal runs. You can even record directly in the app while monitoring.

I can totally hit the notes when i play them on a piano from C to B for example one by one. What i cant do is finding the melody of a song and hitting those notes with my voice , i mean trying to sing a melody and being unable to correctly is what makes me think im just tone deaf

[@DBasedAlex]

TheGriffoe if you can reproduce notes but not melodies, you’re going to need to work on interval training. That basically means being able to identify and reproduce how to get from one note to the next. Musictheory.net has some good tools for that

[@kubbo6630]

also you can try to play the melody on piano and use that as a guide

Try 2 notes (C , D) on piano than you... then 3,.. thats melody already...

@@DBasedAlex It's weird. I've never learnt how to read music, but started messing around with that site and was getting it right about 40%. I just go with what feels right but no idea why I think it feels right. I went to exercise and started with note and key signature identification. I don't even know what a key signature is lol. I know 40% isn't good, just shocked me I had even a little bit, as it's so foreign to me. Like looking at another language.

Late response, but it’s hard to focus on singing and musical instruments at the same time. If you are playing the instrument you basically have to play it on autopilot while singing

[@sugarcandy4639]

The thing is music is not just a single note. It’s when all the drums and other instrument get involved my mind goes blank

[@joshs5135]

Sugar Candy I’m not a great singer but I’m an okay one and I’ve done a lot of live stuff, and there’s actually exercises my vocal coach taught me to single out one instrument, usually the bass or the guitar and only focus on them. Helps a lot with the confusion. It took a lot of practice though

[@LKpixels]

just do this practice consistently, you can't just run before you can walk. I'm pretty sure you would be able to do it!

[@regdenee]

I've always had the problem that my singing voice refuses to obey. I hear what note I need to hit but it's impossible for me to match it and it's always flat or sound stupid haha. But I've had some times where I've nailed a few phrases but then I usually don't have the emotion or the enunciation I'm looking for, usually because I was only focusing on nailing the pitch and forgot everything else

[@escepticoinformal]

I felt the same, i think i had some improvement after review the apoggio concept and open more the mouth, not dark the sound, raise the soft pallate, have more space in general try think of a smile face while singing to resonate in the correct places...the hard thing im facing is that i still have some tensión and cant match the notes perfectly but im more close than flat now, i guess now my problem is ear training and try to solve all my tension but i see some of these videos sometimes trying to find some gold idea to try it

I used to sound very monotoned. But I was a reader and I often read out loud. My wife would tell me I was monotoned. So I practiced reading better by paying attention to my pitch and pace. As a result I learned to sound better and was chosen in many programs to read publicly. Little did I know that it also helped with my singing as well.

I use my soft pallet for pitch and my voice just goes to any note without trying. It's pretty cool and this is also how I discovered my mixed voice.

Also I am very sensitive to pitch for some reason when it comes to the soft pallet. I can even feel people's speaking registers.

[@rome8180]

I can tune a guitar by ear easily. I can also recognize intervals in songs I'm listening. However, there is definitely a communication breakdown when it comes to actually singing the notes. I'm not COMPLETELY off or anything. Just not nearly as precise as I want to be.

[@StudeSteve62]

I'm the opposite: can carry a tune quite decently vocally, but haven't got anywhere near the dexterity to play anything (except the kazoo)...

[@bladesamah]

I downloaded the tuner and while playing this video it picked up the exact pitch you were talking about... definitely works

[@StudeSteve62]

As I said to my brother (who is a musician) once, and got a good chuckle from him, there are three important things about singing: the first is pitch...and so are the other two. Glad to see someone here stressing that aspect of singing. If you haven't got pitch...it doesn't matter a toss what else you might have!

[@AngryPanda.]

The intro to this is the only "before and after" singing example where the 'before' is actually BAD and it fills me with hope, thankyou xD (your current voice is amazing btw.) *subs*

[@geoffstockton]

I bought something called Vocal Lab for MacBook. It was $7 and the interface is way better than the tuner approach, in my experience. It shows you a pitch graph and displays your note as a line on the graph plus all of its vital stats above, in real time. It remains on-screen when you stop singing so you can really view and analyze your pitch consistency. Just a few days in and I'm already sensing improvement in both my perception and control of those tiny cents worth of pitch.

[@katmandu5753]

Thankyou! This will be a great help getting my new choir in sync. I didn't know these apps existed.

[@birchtree5884]

This was exactly the method I used to help a fellow member who was tone deaf to learn pitches, and I'm not some knowledgeable musical educator, just another member of the choir. Figured since the voice is just another instrument, it could be tuned just like instruments.

[@mykhayloparkulab3293]

Damn! That's what I've been looking for. Other lessons "for absolute beginners" beginners that you find on KZbin start with scales which makes me feel like an idiot cause I can't hit a single note yet or more exactly I don't even know what notes I hit and when. Thumbs up!

Hey I have an autotune realtime plugin on my DAW as I make music. As I'm singing, the plugin shows the notes I'm hitting and reveals if I'm off-key. It also reveals that my voice is in the alto range. Do you think autotune can be a useful tool for learning how to stay on pitch?

[@YSFmemories]

being on tone with a single note is easy. Being on tone while singing a cappella is easy. The problem is when there is instrumental accompaniment or other people singing, it somehow distorts your own sense and makes you way flat/sharp without you noticing at all. It's possible with LOTS of practise on that particular song to basically tune out what everyone else is doing and basically sing based on muscle memory; but you'd have to do that for every song, and when you meet a new song, you end up "tone deaf" again. Is there a way to not have to go through that process every time?
