This is a great video; thanks for sharing!

[@officialWWM]

My guitarist bought a microphone to do backing vocals...we did a rehearsal and it didn't go so well. Next rehearsal, he turned up and his mic was on the snare drum. He got the message 😂

[@yoyoflair]

Hi Arty! You have inspired me to begin singing again, and your tips are so motivating due to the innate posititicity that you share! I've subscribed and hope to learn more! Greetings from Chicago! Would be a dream to receive even a sentence of feedback on my voice.

[@MrUnique27]

Arty, I’m sooooo proud of you! It was so hard hearing you say that the guy didn’t like your voice because even when you speak, your audience can tell you have a fairly raspy voice itself, that as you have stated to us, (can be developed in itself)! I have learned so much from this video today! I was simply out planting some Georgia Collard Greens in my garden, (literally, like 10 minutes ago) as I listened to this video and now I’m inspired to focus on these areas of my own singing for when I return to my home studio in the next hour. Thank you for shining this ray of light on areas of my singing I thought I knew so much about already. Please keep on making these videos because you never know who you’re inspiring and what their achieving because of you! I too, look forward to meeting and working with you one day, and also learning more about your journey into the music industry, thanks again, AnTwaun, (An-Twon), aka Uniq. 👍🙏😇

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Hey AnTwaun, Thanks for the comments. Yes, I wasn't blessed with a pleasing singing tone. But I'm glad this inspired you. :) Please check out some other videos we have about singing, including the new one on "how to produce a great vocal". kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYSzgISPjatrl7c Let us know how it all helps. Cheers. 🍺 Arty

Great advice, Arty! For others tuning in, 7:00 is especially valuable information, in my opinion. Not only for singing, but also for being an artist in general. When I try to develop my skills as a composer, I like to study the musical ideas of my favorite songwriters and abstract them into concepts that I can apply to my own compositions later on. It's probably the single thing that has helped me improve the most. For example, I once noticed something interesting happening over a short looped accompaniment: a vocalist appeared to sing in the home key at first, but once the music looped, he briefly sang in a different key. Two keys over a short chord progression? How?? After studying the music, I realized there is a lot of flexibility in leaving notes out of a chord (such as the 5th in a C chord), because you can utilize a melody to fill in the 3rd note. So if an accompaniment is playing C and E, you can sing a G to fill in C chord, you can emphasize A to change it into an Am chord, or even add a G# to the melody for an augmented sound. So a simple C > F progression (with no 5ths in the accompaniment) can become something like: CM7 | C > F | F C | Csus4 > F | FM7 C7 | C > F | F+ C | Am7 > F7 | F7 C7 | C7 > F | F In fact, writing this comment inspired me to write a very short little lullaby with that chord progression, so I posted it here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoa1aH2Lm7N4o7s So suddenly from a musical example, we have a more abstract concept that proved useful in a new composition! And that's my point--I learned this from studying one of my favorite songwriters. I probably never would have thought about it on my own! So study up SkyeLab viewers, there's so much to learn from the greats!

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Thanks, and some very interesting composition points you made.

[@mauralcode]

Thanks for the advice! This was a great KZbin video

Thanks for your comment 👍 😁

[@moderneightiesartist]

Great video! ... when you were mentioning great & influential singers I thought of Sam Cooke🎵🎶

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Oh yeah, the great and legendary Sam Cooke! Just heard your song Cimsagro! Nice production, but I think you can really benefit from using the right reverb on your vocal. Check out this video. The explanations and concepts work no matter what DAW your using. Hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKXZi56Lg7lrj6s

[@MarlonKingShow]

Hey dude, some really cool pointers here. As you say, it's difficult to be great or even good without a hell of a lot of practise unless you were born gifted. I've got a relatively deep rangeror at least I can't go that high so I find it difficult to find settings that suit my voice best, especially seeing as most male singers rock or pop seem to go super high.. Also finding a mic that suits my voice is tough, I used the Rode NT1A for a while but makes my voice sound thin. Going to try doing more with the SM7B to see if that works better.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Hey Marlon, Yes, if you're a natural baritone, and you're trying to sing into those tenor ranges that most rock singers live in, then it ends up sounding strained, even if you can hit those notes. But you want to find that sweet spot for your voice, that range that's so natural for you and you can really stretch out. And that's where you need to adjust the key of the songs to fit. I believe the Rode NT1A is a condenser mic, and will probably sound so much better Then an SM58, which is mostly used for the stage because it's a dynamic microphone. You probably need a larger diaphragm condenser. Thanks so much for your comment! 👍 Arty

[@BrianBrayMedia]

You know when KZbinrs say "we all want to hear your thoughts, so leave them in the comments below"? Well, they're lying.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

I actually love to read comments. Although it takes me long sometimes to reply.

[@pluviophile1988]

Even though everyone sings almost exactly the same nowadays, theres so little individuality among singers nowadays

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

It's not just "nowadays". It's always been, and we just weave in and out of it through the years. I remember back in the mid '90s when all the female R&B groups and singers were dominating the pop charts. And many of them, you could barely tell apart from each other. But these days you have soooo much more music out, so if you expand outside of the Popular music categories, you'll still hear a lot of variety..

[@pluviophile1988]

I'm good, everyone says it, but I'm always denying it...I think I'm good, but not great and it bothers me!! Why not go to the next step?

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

The best athletes also happen to be the hardest working. Put the time in, because without the work, you have no shot at greatness. Good luck! :)

[@beezee7636]

Can I become your friend?

[@practice4089]

2:03 please stop perpetuating the "tone deaf" myth. do you really know people who speak in a strictly monotone voice? how many? I say zero. tell them to swoop up and they swoop up, down... That's a starting point to training. I would love the opportunity to prove you wrong. I work with kids all day long who are "tone deaf" and watch how in every case their ability to match pitch improves with time.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Maybe you are right, but I have been in the studio with artists who could not hit a note. It was like "i'm thinking of a number from 1 to 100". But according to stats, they say between 2 & 5%. But with the right teacher, like you, maybe there's a cure :)

[@practice4089]

@@SkyeLabMusicGroup consider relative pitch. Assuming you don't have perfect pitch, ask yourself, has your ability to match pitch improved over time? The ability to compare two sounds and note their differences is a skill like any other skill. All skills can be improved. Like learning to hear compression. What percentage of people are compression deaf? 99?

[@practice4089]

Here's a curiosity of mine... Why is it that my friends who like to sing but don't play an instrument and never had any formal music training AND don't have perfect pitch always remember the exact key of a popular song. They just automatically sing it in the original key. I found it amazing when I first noticed this and then I realized, with time, that I do it too
