[@katieknight7021]

its hard because when i talk to different people i talk differently.

[@katieknight7021]

***** when i talk to certain people my voice gets higher.

[@Noodles4Anime]

Same. When I'm with close friends I'm able to talk louder and my voice is often low(so low that sometimes I do a vocal fry :"| ), but when I'm talking to just random people, it's softer and I strain to go low and loud. But, I sing Alto AND Mezzo Soprano comfortably, soo...

Same my voice always get so low when i'm talking

[@justahuman9273]

it is tough to explain the natural voice thing. but trust me! maybe the way you talk ISN'T your natural voice. maybe you talk more nasally or you push your tone too much or you stay very quiet and almost whisper. i would suggest a GOOD vocal teacher. i wished i could recommend you someone, but i only know my own, and i doubt you are able to go to her :( honestly, find a good teacher. someone who will help you find your true voice, no style or anything. my teacher is an opera singer, but she sings with her natural voice. i sing pop/ballad songs and she teaches me to sing naturally. you can sing ANY genre with this technique! search for someone like that. trust me, you CAN.

[@Noodles4Anime]

Ah choir.. I was in choir last year and I was put into Soprano(which I can sing), but I can also sing Alto, but the teacher seemed so desperate for more Sopranos, but all I wanted to do was hop around and see where I was comfortable and what I could do.

[@xuxubis]

Yes!

[@ikuryus9878]

All I know is how to sing in a choir and I want to go into solo too lmao

[@avleepeter9003]

my voice depends on my emotions :/

[@squidneythesquid2487]

Singing, especially in theatre _should_ be affected by emotions too, obviously not to a point where no one can understand or hear, but I would never cry in something like Les Miserables, for example, if they were just perfect unemotional notes, you shouldn’t have to be able to speak the language to understand the emotions behind a song. Like in a lot of opera, I can feel the emotions and passion behind the voices, but I can’t speak Italian.

[@Joey-xy9qw]

my natural voice is low but I find it so much easier to sing the high notes. It is like I am breathy when I sing low or middle notes but it is very easy and clear when I sing high notes. is it normal?

Thanks for this. My choir director said I have a beautiful natural voice and I honestly didn't know what that means. About 1/4 of the choir is classically trained so I often feel I should push myself to sound like them. Your video has helped to relieve those fears.

[@emptyendeavor2762]

Nyx Glame tongue is in your throat. Try sticking your tongue out of your mouth and singing for a while. Then try to sing with your tongue back in your mouth. And be conscience of if your tongue tries to creep back or stays behind your teeth. Also stop trying to sing low. Your probably trying to sound deeper than you are.

[@BriddahOnFire]

I guess that's exactly why the songs I've been writing are in the range my speaking voice is, it just feels natural.

[@deltonhedges9476]

On 'Natural voice,' examples taken from actual singers (like actual audio if not video) there singing and then their speaking would really help to understand all this

[@hillry6345]

I am a soprano but my speaking voice is really low and when i try to sing using my speaking voice it really strains my throat and hurts a lot but when i sing higher than my speaking voice i actually feel better. There are certain times when i'm speaking where i do go as high as my singing voice though. Is my speaking voice just too low? Or have i been singing wrong my whole life ;~;

[@corneliapaharsingh6526]

h i l l r y same here

[@rottingmang0]

First, clear your throat. Second, try to find the key that is most comfortable. Third, do a type of genre of tone you want. Finally, practice to help your throat to relax.

[@cehache3018]

h i l l r y same :v

[@ElonaKrasavtseva]

Soprano is rare, if you can sing soprano, that is great! I am a lyrical myself and have a low voice when I am calm, but a high one if I yell :)

[@viviennetobassa7111]

I've noted a lot of people who are dominant soprano think or hear themselves with a low voice because they hear the tone from their relaxed larynx but really are just speaking in the bottom end of that range which is using head voice. I recently watched Mariah Carey interview demonstrating whistle register and describing her speaking voice as low, but as she spoke, it was still at bottom end of high register. This doesn't mean that singers can't sing wider range and six octaves with the two extra whistle and fry registers... But their balance point is where their natural voice is and this will also drop with maturity. From the comments you make about when you try to sing low or in your low speaking voice it sounds as if you are trying to sing mixed or chest voice from head voice register. Often when we are kids, culturally as women and for other reasons we learn singing techniques that require us to use the classical intonation of voice which is great for developing pitch, breathing etc. but for women at least it focuses on head voice. If you are naturally lower you may have just learned, deliberately or unconsciously to sing in higher register.

[@Ezra-ek1td]

Thank you for reminding me of truth!

During puberty, do you think my voice can be completely different after since I'm 14?

[@wyattduford2338]

It really depends sometimes it will change only a little and other times it changes a lot.

[@ふわふわ-o8n]

it can stay the same if you practice..for me I practice anime songs everyday...and I can sing close to the same range of a female's high pitch

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

yeah puberty can cause changes, obviously if you're a guy it can be quite dramatic, for girls it can be subtle or dramatic depending on the person. The biggest thing I noticed after puberty (as a woman) was that the higher notes were more difficult for me. Your voice also continues to change and mature as you age gradually. My voice is lower and richer at 36 than it was in my twenties.

[@charissenicole3882]

WAH! You're now 19🥺

[@kesecx8804]

[@victoriagrace5134]

Man, I'm being taught almost exclusively classical music and classical technique vocally. I've essentially been told I could be a soprano, but I'd rather do literally anything else. I want to sing in more modern styles, I have a dark ass speaking voice, nor do I have a high speaking voice. I sing in bright operatic tones. I hate my singing voice in that manner. I'm so trapped.

[@leannematthews5944]

I know how that feels, I want to sing pop and rock. I used to be a man but now I am female, so I want to sing like a woman. I've come to the conclusion that I'm going with whatever voice I have been blessed, and bluff my way through songs, nothing new there! Good luck in your endeavour to love your voice.

[@BussyConnoisseur]

Wait, so how do I find what my natural voice range is? If I talk regularly, how do I know it's natural for me? I think I have a soft voice, but how can I be sure?

[@deltonhedges9476]

Also, it would really help to have your lessons NUMBERED, not so everyone will always go through them in order, but just so we will know when your are referring to "next Friday," etc. Great approach Freya, so sincere and authentic feeling though sometimes a little too much talking and repetition rathe than examples, exercises, something to DO other than listen. Just my idea, don't mean to be critical. Overall you are one of, if not THE best vocal coach I have encountered. Will probably subscribe but have already paid for another one, which is good too, so will come to you later.

[@peekabooiseeyough9124]

I have adhd, my natural voice has ~☆always☆~ been rushed and bursting with energy... so much so I stopped speaking to people, and limited my words to brief exchanges... this should be fun Thank you 😊 💓

[@kelvinkayshanmazibisa8912]

That's beautiful and interesting and I would like to have on line training is it possible cause I like singing hence i don't know my nutural voice

[@earychow839]

dose it mean I should not sing head voice if my natural voice is low?

Thanks!! 👍🏻❤️

[@josegochez94]

thank you so much Freya, wonderful video with so much important information! :)

I have been following you for awhile already and I planning to continue following you for a long time, I like the way you teach! :)

[@9cloudrachel207]

I always notice strain in my throat, I get sore really fast sometimes lol. This makes a lot of sense now though thinking about my range. Awesome!

[@AliciaSalazarDesigns]

I have never taken signing training. I used to perform in High school and I was approached to record sings with 2 writers and my own teachers but they always told me to learn to read music and to perfect my voice. That was 20 years ago or more. I still sing at home but just recently have had the desire to perform again. I want to thank you for what you do. I will be following your channel. I never knew what my natural voice was since I would imitate the artists and at times it was hard but I would practice hard to get to their voice but now I will use my own. Thank you!

[@carolinelewiscarrie2514]

Speaking of natural voice - you are definitely a 'natural' at what you do!!!!😊👍 I'm am amateur singer and am getting a lot out of your channel.🙏😊

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

I love this, it really feels right. My biggest issue is finding any song I can sing to the end in this way, as most songs go higher than my natural "break". Have been trying to figure this out for years... Thank you, I will go through your videos again. (I found you and watched them all a couple of years ago, and got busy with life, and here I am again!)

[@silentshadow2957]

What if I don't like my natural voice? I try to sing at the level I speak, but there's no harmony or melody when I do that. It's just flat. But when I raise the pitch, it actually doesn't sound too bad. The only problem is that it puts a strain on my voice and hurts after a while. Also, I should add that I have difficulty speaking properly, and some days I don't even know what my natural speaking voice is, because it sounds much different in my ears than it does in a recording. If I record my voice and listen to it, I think "Woah, okay, I sound like a child." And yet, when I speak, my voice sounds deeper to me than it actually is. It's also very scratchy and my voice cracks a lot, both when I speak and when singing "naturally." So, it's rather difficult to find my natural singing voice.

[@fredrickkarau6479]

Heyyy,, I'm a guy who needs help finding what/which voice type I have because I can hit high notes in female music but can't sing well in male music nor in choir. My teacher tells me that I got tenor which I don't believe while other people tell me my voice is ranging between Soprano and Alto. What type of voice do you think I have??

[@alvin55531]

Fred Nicki Countertenor maybe?

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

My natural voice is very low, and i have a hard time finding music. I am pretty good at "torch song" /piano bar kind of singing (and some pop songs by male singers), but I've always tried to achieve Pop. All these years of trying to be something I'm not natural at, I think I need to focus on my abilities instead of fighting it. Thanks for this. Any song ideas would be appreciated.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Thank you, Freya. That's great advice. It sounds challenging, but I'm excited about figuring it out! Thank you for your response!!

[@j.d.564]

I sound good when I sing normal but then when I try going louder... I just sound shaky/weak but not nasal. I also have trouble singing short\fast pace words but sing better with long vowels in words. Finding my own tone is so hard for me.

I sings in my natural voice but I always thought you’re an awful singer if you sings in your natural voice but you made me feel better about singing in my natural voice, I also notice when I sing certain songs my voice totally changes, songs like you raise me up I sound more like an opera singer and I can’t help it.

[@maxfox8651]

I've actually been having huge issues with how I feel about my natural voice. My natural voice isn't the style I like, and it kills me. I keep trying to alter it, but my vocals start hurting. This at least helped me recognise the problem, and I'm really thankful for that. I know this video can be really helpful for a lot of people, I even know people that I think would get something out of watching it. Sadly, I still doubt I'll be able to appreciate my natural voice...

[@mysterybug1]

I very accomplished professional singer was asked what was most important in learning to sing. She said, to sing, first you need to learn how to speak. I took her to mean that the singing voice is a natural extension of the speaking voice. You seem to be saying much the same thing. But perhaps she also meant that we may have to overcome faults in our speaking voice, breathing, posture etc. before we could use our speaking voice as the foundation of our singing voice. I thought it was a profoundly important thing to say, but never got to hear the whole story. Thank you Freya for all your lessons. I find them very helpful.

Hey :) great video however how do you incorporate your favorite styles/techniques into your own voice? for example I've found my favorite artist's speaking voice is very similar to mine, he speaks in the same if not similar pitch to me however I'm having trouble getting his style down and putting it into my own music. How can I make sure I still sound like me but using his style?

[@Markymoo992]

Thank you for getting back to me. Well its not strained but I've been told I need to find my own style. Its hard to explain but when I do covers I always feel like I'm edging more to sound like the original artist rather than putting my own style to it.

Hi I love to sing I use to be quite good. I knew I had a good range. Then I developed thyroid cancer. The Drs removed my thyroid and in the process injured my vocal cord the left one is paralyzed. My voice therapist said that I have compensated well and suggest that I get back out there and start using my instrument. The problem is I no longer know my natural voice and I feel my voice not only changed but is unreliable I am unsure of what will come out or what notes I can hit or if my voice will crack. I've started to try singing at church again but it's always so stressful and now people are asking me to sing for different events. Can you please help me are there exercises or something you can recommend to relieve the stress, anxiety and fear that I now feel with singing. I still love it so much I just wish I was better at it thank you anything will be greatly appreciated 😶😟

hey when I hit notes it goes well until I get close to my range, lol I know what you are thinking "that's IS your rang" but hear me out, I can hit low and high notes. I can hit really low , low, medium, and high. but some where in between medium and high I have no voice, it simply cuts off and just sounds like air, but It comes back if I move to a higher note and it's extremely annoying because I try to substitute it with a weird sound that resembles it but I miss it sometimes and you can clearly hear the cuts. I'm pretty sure it it's damaged but it sucks that my voice cuts off before my actual range
