Find Your AUTHENTIC Singing Voice | Develop Your Unique Sound |

[@kanzaluyano]

I like how you mentioned about how we shouldn't sing along. Truly, our voices are different, and although I love listening to Ed Sheeran, I make use of my bass voice: not purposefully, but because it's more comfortable for me. But I have a problem: unconsciously, I tend to tune into the same pitch of the person I'm listening to.

[@onlytalentedpeopleandhumbl9332]

Luyano Fernando its alright i unconciously do that too i guess

[@onlytalentedpeopleandhumbl9332]

Yeah its okay

[@zaineba7319]

You should be proud of your voice type !! Bass is pretty rare. Good luck

[@RouandSido]

I'm 45, always fantasized about being a singer, yet hated my voice. only two months ago I made up my mind and took singing lessons. not before long I started to change my mind about my own voice, and even started to develop "the heart of a thief". Somehow KZbin suggested to me one of your videos, and I liked your way of breaking things down. I still have got miles to go, so I think I'll stick around for a while ;)

[@user-zu4cc6pb9x]

Stating the obvious here . Your voice is beautiful Dr Dan . Really suits that song .

[@fecdiamondbar]

I can't believe it is this easy to find my singing voice. After humming the song and felt the sensation as instructed by Dr.Dan, I suddenly was singing the song at ease and know where to place my register more accurately. The humming technique really works! Singing the song with just the "ah" was very hard at the beginning. i sound ugly at first. But as I gather myself with better breath support and focusing on how I feel rather than how I sound, it works wonder. I was able to sing much relax and with less tension! Thank you so much!

[@fecdiamondbar]

As I continue to practice with this technique, I realized why it is so effective. It is because when I am humming the song, I can feel how the vibration/resonance of the sound move within my chest or mask or head area. All I need is to remember those feeling and place my register correctly as I sing with the lyrics. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[@StarOasis26]

Dam, he is an amazing teacher. Thank you

[@tomkitbumrung3972]

OMG the humming is what I do to help me sing a little better - thank you for yr great lesson Dr. Dan!

[@DrDanRobinson]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Tom Kitbumrung. Thanks for watching.

[@deellisonaych2199]

You have such a beautiful tone Dr. Dan! Don't see how you could have any insecurities.

[@rodneydyer8135]

Thank you so much Dr. Dan. I have been singing and vocalizing (mostly in rock cover bands) for nearly 25 years and have struggled constantly trying to find "MY" voice. But within minutes of listening to you describe it in your video all songs I do now generally feel as my own... I cant thank you enough!!!

[@aleezahumayun737]

I love this channel! You're an amazing teacher! Thank you ❤

[@augustcanyon3438]

I'm not a singer and hate my voice something fierce but singing helps me relieve stress, I find myself comfortable singing along with Tenors at the lower range. Thanks for making these vids they're very interesting.

[@DrDanRobinson]

I'm so glad to hear that you find singing a stress-reliever and that you enjoy the videos! Remember, the beauty of singing comes from the joy it brings you, not just the sound of your voice. Your comfort in the lower range is a great place to start exploring your voice further. Keep enjoying the music and remember, every voice is unique and has its own charm. Keep singing!

[@samuri2011]

Why did this feel like therapy! 😭😭😭😭 Thank you 💚💚💚

[@DrDanRobinson]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video samuri2011. Thanks for watching.

[@rocie74]

I'm just joining choir I was scared of singing of key but this video encouraged me to be comfortable with my voice thank you and keep up the amazing work.

[@MadMallory]

Love that you used The Carpenters!

[@DrDanRobinson]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Mad Mallory. Thanks for watching.

[@RUT812]

My husband practically wore out the Carpenters CDs I bought for him.

[@ryanscanlan-greig9746]

This is the most helpful video I have ever come across haha thank you.

[@DrDanRobinson]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Ryan Scanlan-Greig. Thanks for watching.

[@FRUITPUNCH2609]

Hi Dan, people say "sing as if you are inhaling" will release tension because the element of "pushing" out the air is eliminated. But, by "inhaling the voice", wouldn't it be true that the sound you produce would be further back and not forward? any comments? Thanks

[@van-sg8lm]

This what i need to learn. My voice like sometimes good sometime bad and i dont know what happend

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

Everyone has "off days". Always make sure you warm up bodily and vocally and always use your breath. Hope that helps.

[@emmanuelbarco485]

Hey Dan, I'm 13 years old and I'm aware that my voice is still changing but I have established that my range is rather low and I would like to know when doing warmups or singing, how to identify what is poor technique or how to expand my vocal range correctly. Nonetheless, your videos are a great help! thx

[@quwane]

how are you doing today?

[@jodilampaan8362]

First i watched how to love your own voice but i found my own voice instead...and now i watched this and loved my voice...

[@peggypiercefield5188]

Now I realize I sound amazing! My voice is so full and slightly raspy with great range. I sound very soulful. This boosted my confidence. Thank you!

[@DrDanRobinson]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Biblical Choices. Thanks for watching.

[@UItraVice]

I am heavily into voice acting with a wide range of voices I can do... This sounds cool but it interferes with my singing. With talking I can add rasp or gravel easily. With singing its not that easy. I start singing and my brain thinks I can impersonate a voice just like voice acting and I know thats not true but my vocal cords just dont register that. I am so used to doing many voices that I cant find my own.

[@TheRaven715]

Wow this was absolutely fantastic advice, thank you so much❤😍💕! I especially loved the advice about all relationships needing time to develop and mature, and the more time you spend with your own voice it will reveal itself anyway! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 💕💕💕

[@DrDanRobinson]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Erick Cardenas. Thanks for watching.

[@ChristineSimsOfficial]

hmm.. next paycheck I will surely be buying your singing album. you are probably the most helpful on youtube. I mean, others are helpful, but your just explaining things differently and better.

[@robertrock2000]

Mesmerizingly clear Dr Dan. Man you really cut through the clutter Thanks for sharing. I will begin to apply this immediately!! However, I'm actually not a singer, but an aspiring voice actor, who is trying to find and more importantly sustain his authentic speaking voice I think my best speaking voice happens when I forget myself and I'm unselfconsciously engaged and connected. Unfortunately over the years anxiety has contributed to unhealthy vocal habits and dysphonia. So as you seem to suggest, while my challenge is to practice and become attuned to healthy vocal techniques and sensations until they become habitual across a range of emotions and emotive interactions,... l; I believe my greater challenge is to let go and embrace (at the conscious level, I seem better when I'm unselfconscious) a new more authentic expressive range, and therefore personal identity. So do you have any videos on letting go and embracing this emerging "new natural" authentic personal identity And or can you direct me to helpful advice online? However, I could be asking the wrong question -- If I am , I would simply appreciate any feedback you can share Keep up the good work Dr Dan!!

[@DrDanRobinson]

Hi, Robert Rock. You may find my online singing course helpful - drdan.co/onlinesinginglessons. Feel free to check it out sometime. The first module is free to preview!

[@heylol2820]

okay but I just found my voice..... tysm :)

[@mradaChris]

When I sing I tend to match the timber of the cover artist and harmonize instead of singing the actual melody. I'll do this for classical as well as contemporary music. I'd be happy to have a voice like yours! Seriously you sound great! I use to record myself on online karaoke and I stopped because I cannot stand the sound of my voice. I do sing at live karaoke and I just try to have fun singing with friends. I tend to not sing by myself for most songs.

[@tamsi154]

Thank you so much for sharing this sir.

Hi Dr. Dan. Love your videos as always. Just wanted to know if there is an workout or exercise for the voice to sing AD⚡DC's highway to hell! I always wanted to know how it's done. Thank you for everything

Great music teacher!

[@maddyhoke3907]

I've been told that a vocalists sound and style are heavily influenced by their favorite musicians. Any truth to that?

[@peterrobannsobrepena6029]

Debbie Gibson Idolized George Michael and her first Guinness record song Foolish Beat was a remix of Careless Whisper. I do idolize Debbie Gibson and really most styles are inherited from her singing

[@afsl808]

I can sing along with ember island ,umbrella song Better and others pretty difficult for me

[@stevencorley3296]

Lucky guy, you can sing-a-long with Karen Carpenter. :)

[@tonefingerz2021]

thx so much. ur really good man. u know its like when i play guitar i zone out sometimes and groove hard putting everything into each note. most of the time i half ass play and its the same when i sing. mostly its lazy n kinda in tune. like mt guitar. i wanna really nail it. i think it really depends on the mood im in and my spiritual level. plz do a soul and spiritual through your voice video

[@tonefingerz2021]

Dr Dan's Voice Essentials u know i never knew i cud sing let alone sing n play at the same time. cant tell u how much i appreciate ur time n efforts doing these vids. i just spent 2 hours playing n singing trying to put as much into my voice as the guitar. 4 me it does depend on the mood i am in 4 how good i do. i think practicing spirituality and soul and get the feeling of the song you want to sing in your head. like blues think about blue times or love songs put love thoughts in your head u know. i think you can probably tell me better what im trying to say so i can understand myself better. it wud be an awesome topic tho. and also i think alot of times you find your voice failing trying to sing ur idols songs. man ur the best vocal teacher out there thx so much.

[@autumno.0]

So not to follow cover artist for your own voice, but what about getting the right pitch or we should modify the song to the pitch you are comfortable? Most of the time I am comfortable with the song's note but whenever a high notes is there my voice seems strained, while I can breeze through the song that one part pulls me down for that should I drop the song to a lower key? But that brings the song from head voice to chest voice and loose it's magic. I am confused!!

[@gwiyeonoona2367]

How can I know if my voice is beautiful? I'm afraid to ask opinion with my friends they'll just laugh at me and my if I ask my family they will not be serious with their answers. I'm recording my voice but the recording quality isn't good.

[@Roses1401]

Back again. The best videos i ever saw!!!! So, so great!!! My greatest applause on that lesson! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@TheSpookychick]

But...Dan...my voice is shit. :)

[@compulsiverambler1352]

Hi Dr Dan, I've watched a handful of your videos now and am wondering whether I can safely assume that all the advice you provide will apply to traditional church choir singing as well as contemporary genres, as you've mentioned that the reverse is not always true. I have been getting lessons from a classically trained semi-professional singer for over a year, just as a hobby, and I'm happy with my progress in the traditional choral style we work on. However, when it comes to sounding better when I sing contemporary songs to myself or in karaoke, are the technical and warm up tips you give on your channel things that I could also incorporate into my choir practice/performance, where the purpose of those tips sounds applicable to both?

[@compulsiverambler1352]

Dr Dan's Voice Essentials Cool, thank you! :)

[@texaspeace7108]

How can I find songs for my vocal range? I too love Karen Carpenter but I think I can easily do Bette Middler, Cindi Lauper, Alanis Morrisette. So I am not sure if I actually fit that type. But I seem to think so. I am soprano f sharp range. Thanks so much!

[@DrDanRobinson]

Texas, perhaps this playlist of videos will prove helpful - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH7bgIaGnaybhaM

[@talielnussen3867]

Good day Sir, Sir, I have a performance in a few days time and my voice is not up to it. I am still trying to find my voice. When I sing, I get some kinda pain in my voice. I think I am not getting the right muscle movememnt well. I also need to know the kind of songs I should be more comfortable with. I find that most of the singers and songs I love, singing them is very difficult for me. I do not even know how to breathe as a singer Can you help me?

Hello, Dr. Dan :') Thanks for your video.. Please do video on how to develop or do Voice Break like katty perry,rihana !

[@bakribhai6489]

+Dr Dan's Voice Essentials ,yes Its something different nd unique and would definitly distinguish the aspiring singers from other mediocre singers. .. :') its my humble request!

[@thegamingcreeper2865]

whenever i sing in in my "unique voice" i sound like freddie mercury

[@DocTravis87]

If we play an instrument, should we play the tune while we do this exercise or is it better to try it with a backing track?

[@DrDanRobinson]

Travis, I think you'll find it more beneficial to use the tracks...it'll allow you to focus solely on your voice.

[@peterrobannsobrepena6029]

Thanks Dr. Dan. Another great tip

here for the George Clooney joke

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

A tough nut to swallow sometimes Dan. You want to sound like Steve Perry but....LOL!!

[@orestes1984]

Your problem is when your natural voice and tone is in the same register as Frank Sinatra and you hate it -_- My voice wan't born in the right decade where almost every successful modern singer is an alto or tenor. I find myself singing harmonies just to get by because its easier to sing with other people in higher registers.

[@DrDanRobinson]

Kronos, the struggle is real!

[@drumusic7]

Hey Dan, I constantly feel tired after singing just one or two songs. I haven't rested for more than 2 days in over a year and a half and was wondering if I should go on rest and if so for how long?

[@HarveySpecter1010]

Andrew Martin I am facing the same problem.went to an ENT and was diagnosed with vocal nodules.I was advised to rest my voice for 2 months(not even speaking if not necessary)but it's not always necessary.it may also be due to improper breathing techniques or MTD. prevention is better than cure. good luck

[@Forever_yours44]

George Clooney isn't attractive!!! Why is he the go to person for attractiveness... lol
