Ep 74 Singing with Confidence It’s NOT About How Good Your Voice Is!

[@varavooru1]

You are the most effective coach on KZbin! So much difference in my singing since I followed some of your videos

[@PowerToSing]

Thanks! You are very kind. I'm so glad you are feeling improvement. It's very exciting and it's why I've shared all these videos.

[@annabelpearl2630]

This actually explains a lot. I have the most confidence singing when I’m also listening to the music I’m singing. I was so confused as to why I could only sing decently when I was listening to it and I realized I ‘couldn’t’ sing without the music playing because I never believed in myself and wound just start overthinking everything

[@RobCrowley85]

You at the time of your comment, sound just like me now. And I used to sing!

[@SmuckMog]

Thank you. I’m a very shy singer. I never thought about literally singing with confidence. To forget about how I sound and just sing. And definitely will work on singing freely. Thank you. You helped me so much. Now I’m gonna watch all your videos. 🙌🏽💪🏽😆

[@PowerToSing]

Thanks ZinniaQueen and good luck. You can do it!

[@LiddyLu]

I'm struggling with this as well I hope you've grown more confident! I'm sure you sound amazing.

[@jorgegl5864]

I've been training my voice for a very long time but I was trapped to my own beliefs. I always believed that I can't belt high notes because of my low voice, but when I tried singing with confidence, I was shocked by the results. I never thought that I can belt much higher notes than expected. Thank you so much for encouraging me to sing to my full potential! ❤️

[@PowerToSing]

Awesome Bench!

[@iheartwinnie4]

I sing really well in silly accents (strong voice, perfect pitch) because im playing around and i dont expect others to critique me because, well, its a joke, but when i actually try my voice gets higher, goes scratchy, goes flat, and sounds nervous. thanks so much!!!!

[@PowerToSing]

You can do it!

[@lets_summini]

Now this. So much this. I needed this feeling verbalized to me. I knew it! It's probably gonna be harder for those who suppress their emotions and do so while singing, as well.

[@PowerToSing]

It is harder...especially for someone who identifies themselves as very shy or soft spoken. When singing we have to put ourselves "out there" and let others into our souls.

[@foxdenham]

That was single handedly the best bit of vocal advice I've ever had - a huge thank you from a 60 odd year old just finding his voice!

[@PowerToSing]

Great! Thanks. Glad it helped!

[@13perspectives]

Thank you for this video sir, I really needed to hear this message and knew it to be true. Appreciate the great content

[@PowerToSing]

Thanks Justin! You can do it!

[@alexeybedretdinov6399]

Thank you! I think it's one of the best voice lessons I've ever saw! Very important words about singing. Many voice teachers talk about technique, support and other stuff but forget about emotions and soul delivering!...I'll try to share it as much as I can

[@PowerToSing]

Thanks Alexey!

[@bob.ross330]

[@alika207]

Exactly how I feel about singing! I will share this with my students and any other singers I come across who say they are feeling insecure.

[@PowerToSing]

Awesome!

[@Lalalexylou]

7 years later this is a very solid video. Great advice and perspective. Thank you 🎉

[@PowerToSing]

Thank you. You're so welcome!

[@micopornobimicopornobi1926]

Thank you so much for giving me an advice to embrace my real singing voice even some people dislikes it, it just all about how you put your heart to the singing and how you connect emotionally so that you can create authenticity with your unique voice.

[@PowerToSing]

Yes! It is so liberating! Way to go.

[@lalajean452]

I only sing confidently when i know theres no people around . My dad said that my voice doesnt sound good in falsetto but that was my comfortable way of singing every since when i was a child . My classmates also said that my falsetto sound kinda my normal voice and its sound so real ? Idk what sge means tho . I dont like my voice i also think my voice doesnt sound good .

[@PowerToSing]

Lala, if you like singing, I would take some lessons. This might be the best way to make progress faster.

[@simonhughes3764]

Can I just say thank you so much, as I am very shy with my voice and really inexperienced. So self-conscious. This has really helped give me a boost 😀

[@PowerToSing]

You're so welcome! You can do it Simon!

[@PowerToSing]

J.A. It takes a while...but I was not happy with my voice at first either.

[@jerome.calahonda]

@@PowerToSing thanks Chuck for your reply. My voice is "sort of ok". What I need to do is what you have mentioned: interprete and transmit the songs to the public. I'll practise in front of the mirror. Thanks again!

[@goodmantv260]

This is true. One of my favorite band vocalist ely buendia doesnt have a good voice. But he sings confidently because their song lyrics are awesome. They write very good songs and i think thats were he gets his confidence from.

[@PowerToSing]

Yes! Sometimes...there's just something we like about their voices and their music...no matter what.

[@mccarlos-z3h]

thank you sir for taking my suggestion into consideration, i will watch the previous episodes as you've said. i deeply appreciate, real power is in singing. #peace

[@BlackCat_2]

Many years ago when I was younger I didn't sing in front of others and if I did it was barely a whisper. One time in my teens I was in the car with my soul mate and a favorite song came on the radio. I don't even remember what the song was anymore 30 plus years later. I started singing softly in the passenger seat. Shortly he told me to stop singing. I couldn't sing and I was flat. That crushed me and I never sang in front of anyone again until I had a child. I sang for him. He's grown now and I am back to only singing alone. Heidi

[@PowerToSing]

Hi Heidi: Most of the time people who give you feedback on your singing don't know what they are talking about. But from what you have said, it sounds like you have a challenge staying on pitch. There are apps available for mobile phones that really can help. I've had students use one by Erol Singer's Studio and it shows you where you deviate from the pitch and you can correct it. I think there are many others that you can look at that do the same thing. It seems to help.

[@Domplive]

Wow you just connected so many dots for me

[@PowerToSing]

Great! You can do it!

[@candiilorae1149]

Wow this video was so helpful Thanks

[@PowerToSing]

Great! Keep after it Candii!

[@wutheringheights01]

When I sing I sound so plain and boring cause I have no confidence to put emotion into it....I can keep in tune and hit the notes I just really lack that character cause I’m too embarrassed to express myself

[@PowerToSing]

The more you understand, and the better your technique, the greater is your confidence and the more fun it is to sing!

[@mache3984]

Singing is so much more than just singing.

[@PowerToSing]

What a great comment! You are so very right!

[@darkhorse1985]

so refreshing

[@Sunny-yk8eq]

I actually sing very well naturally. My Gift is straight from heaven. And I write naturally. But the ONLYYYYTY thing holding me back from starting is fear and being critical of myself. I have many many ideas for songs and concepts I’m passionate about I’d like to make music about. But I think what if my voice cracks when I sing it live. What if people think my style of music is too sad. What if I don’t look attractive in my music video lol. The dumb stuff. How do I get over myself so I don’t waste my talents. I’m 21 and this is the best time for me to try.

[@PowerToSing]

Go out and fail as often as possible. Make plenty of mistakes, embarrass your self, and celebrate your effort. Have fun in the process. You will soon realize, life goes on. It really makes little difference. And then keep doing the same until you success more than you fail. After a while you will wonder what you were so afraid of.

[@alika207]

Who cares if your voice cracks? Every singer has at least once. Those who think your style of music is too sad are just people who don’t want to invest in your music emotionally. I bet they will not know what they are missing out on. and regarding how you look, I’ve literally been blind since birth, so to me, everybody looks beautiful!

[@JACk79457]

This is crazy. There is literally only 1 Dislike. Probably someone like me feeling extremely angry and hopeless about my voice, but I automatically like all videos when I first start them.

[@selda_KZ]

Ur right. Like for example Taylor Swift she doesn't have a great voice but she's very confident & knows how to attract ppl. ❤

[@PowerToSing]

Remember whether someone has a great voice is very subjective. One person may think she is the best singer in the world. The next may not like her voice. Usually, it comes down to personal preference. If only 2% of the world's population loves or likes your voice, that is still over 160 million! If those people spent $1.00 in their lifetime on your voice, that's 160 Million you earn in your lifetime. Not bad for only 2% of the world liking your voice.

[@plutonium6280]

Hello im an Elvis fan,how does Elvis sing with so much power in the chorus in songs like "without love""just pretend" etc..is it belting ?can you teach this form of power?Than you for great tuition.

[@PowerToSing]

In "Without Love" I think he is not belting, but is in a mix of head and chest voice. He was either trained to do it, or more likely he had a natural gift that allowed him to sing an F# above Middle C without belting or pulling up chest voice. Unless you have a natural gift, you can train your voice to mix. If there is balance and coordination in the voice, you can develop a powerful voice to the limits of your particular capacity.

[@plutonium6280]

Thank you for always getting back to people,will you do a video on belting?please.

[@PowerToSing]

Thanks. I will add belting to my list of future subjects.

Any tips on how to stop thinking when singing?

[@Terra_Divina]

Gosh, I would just LOVE to listen to your videos, but the dominant background music makes it unbearable for me like for most HDPs. And it is totally obsolete, the presence if your beautiful voice is all it needs. Please, would you consider reuploading your videos without? With all respect...🙏

[@PowerToSing]

That would be a great project. Unfortunately, reuploading the video also resets the views to zero. So this video, instead of showing 14,000 people viewing it over a 6 year period, it would say, 1 view and the post date would be reset to the day the new video went live. Collectively, instead of my channel showing 24 million views, it would show a few views and then youtube doesn't show my videos to anyone. So...I have to live with my mistakes.
