I like the fact that you have a bass or baritone voice. Harry Styles is a tenor 2 for reference along with most male performances. To your vocal teacher part, the second was the normal healthy singing voice. And you’re just too pretty to have that deep of a voice. You should have just used The National Athem or Church Hymms. Especially if your goal is to find YOUR voice.

[@jaeydnheeren]

@@colgate4646 oh my god i have to re-record shit so much because notes go sharp or flat. also humans can its just not common, usually only people who surrounded by music can tell the difference easier cause we are trained to. I also had to listen and learn bout the arabic micro-tonal scale which is comprised of 24 notes in music theory. idk where you heard humans can't at all, we most definitely can you just have to train yourself. its like how there's indigenous groups that can see more shades of green and blue in new zealand because they have two snake species and they are just slightly differently coloured enough that they had to evolve to notice the shade difference. artists are also usually good at this because they constntly are surrounded by colours and mixing bit by bit changing shades ever so slightly, trining our brains to see colours a little better than average people.

[@brainrussell6811]

While standing, go to a corner where two walls meet. Put your nose as close to the apex line - where the two walls meet - and try singing normally. You will instantly hear all the nuances/resonances of your voice which will allow you to relax. This is your new practice spot! Gently practice increasing your volume... it should come naturally.

Tongue is everything for singing. He kept breathing with his shoulders moving, so he’s trying to sing without any diaphrgmic support! Learning that will improve his singing 10x.

What does diaphramic mean?

@@izzymoon4436a diaphragm is an organ in your body somewhere in your belly. You need to push out air from your diaphragm when singing (meaning pushing in your belly to get more air and support).

Question if I may, madam, when using mixed voice, are muscles being worked to a degree that they change or strengthen physically? Tyvm

[@inteldogg]

I grew up mute due to a developmental issue, and always had a soft quiet and uncontrolled voice. Lately I’ve started singing in the car on my way to and from work, half an hour there and back. After only a week or two I noticed that I was hitting notes easier and that my speaking voice is louder and clearer. Never expected such great results in such a short amount of time! Gonna keep doing it, so much fun when you wake up and hear a voice you never thought you had in you

Bro I highly recommend this book called Freeing the Natural Voice by Kristin Linklater, I had a class that used her exercises to find what my voice actually sounds like. I have the habit of having grating, nasally voice. But when I go through the routine or at least my lazy version of it. My voice sounds more sweet and pleasant. Just breaking bad habits

[@Lagg0r]

I'm reading through these comments wondering how nobody said anything about the complete lack of breath control. You taught youself all about articulation and hitting the right notes - which is awesome and a necessary step in learning to sing and you did really well with that! Now you should focus on working out how to truly breathe in deeply and control your diaphragm. Look up keywords like breath control, diaphragm and then belting, once you're more advanced. You're on a good path and have a really nice sounding voice!

so something to focus on when singing is pronouncing the words fully and clearly and to not strain your voice too much at first to hit those high notes. i grew up signing but could never hit high notes until i started focusing solely on that. for some reason humming the high notes helped me learn to sing them and now a have a huge range. but good job, you can see inprovement!

You have two things either of which MOST people do not. Tenacity and compassion. Simply don't stop. You've already PROVEN capable of significant change from arguably not entertaining to arguably entertaining. Here's the thing. You love music and singing "when it goes right". I am here to tell you I walked this very path and as you continue to experiment with real, consistent application (as you've already demonstrated), that little bumble bee vibrato in your super rich basso voice will get stronger and stronger, more and more relaxed until you can say and feel whatever you want while singing and you WILL SEND people. Only persist.

Firstly: the idea of showing the process is AMAZING. Usually people let others see only their "best versions" and it's so good to see it all. Secondly: my main thought is that maybe I don't hear a spectacular change in your voice (it doesn't mean I don't hear any change at all), but I definitely see how singing just became easier for you. You don't have so much struggle on your face as in the beginning, your body seems more relaxed. The notes that on the first videos seemed to even hurt you, on the last ones look just natural. At the same time, there is SOME change in your voice, for better of course - and that shows perfectly how sometimes we just need to learn "trying less" and relaxing to do something better 👏

[@potterlover96]

Absolutely amazing to see this. So many people think if they can't sing something first time they'll never be able to sing it, but seeing the progress you have made after only 30 days is fantastic! The voice is like any other muscle, it needs training to reach its potential!

[@keyliannys]

Ok here's my advice if you are expanding your journey beyond this. You should feel 0 tension in the neck and jaw, if you do feel tension that means that you might be doing it wrong. Singing should literally feel easy, yes getting to that level requires practice but don't trade off your technique at the moment in order to sound good. That isn't going to fix the main problem. I notice that your voice is very soft and these songs that you are learning use a technique that people in the contemporary singing world refer to as belting. In order to belt first push all your air out in like a Ha sound you should feel your core at work while doing this. It doesn't mean push all your air out to get the sound out, it just means getting used to having that extra support. Without support the belting may result into a lot of tension that can lead to a voice crack. Now belting is loud, it may sound like you are screaming at first but all that I would define belting as is like a controlled scream. Try it in the high parts like in golden hour "I don't need no light to see you shine." I heard in the comments somebody said work on your pronunciation, in singing this is referred to as diction. It's really a simple fix, just have all of the consonants overly pronounced at first like the T and K sounds, think of a beatboxer. Then when you sing it should naturally fall into place, if it doesn't try reducing it in the session yourself. Like try pronouncing a really hard K doing and gradually reduce it till it sounds right. For breathing, this is honestly still to this day the hardest part of singing because it all begins with the breath. Honestly I've never heard of the bubble exercise but start with a metronome, place it at a time where it is suitable I normally prefer 70 bpm. Start with inhaling for 4 counts and exalling for 8, keep increasing and doubling the amount I typically just play with the numbers on the spot. This is supposed to also help the control and using your breath more efficiently. I loved seeing your progress and I would love to hear your voice further in the future.

[@bsidewavy]

Ahhh unfortunately I do feel tension in my neck or back of head mostly. Part of me thinks it’s because of my poor posture habits from using my computer & as well as poor technique. I do daily updates on youtube shorts and I’m making a 100 day update video soon. Thanks for the advice I’ll be sure to experiment with it! Really curious to see if I can learn how to belt

[@kingquesoIV]

@@bsidewavy I also noticed you barely open your mouth and are really struggling achieve a resonate sound because of this. You should look up videos on improving resonance and mouth shapes for singing. Typically there will be a nicer sound with a more open throat and mouth, and then you can change the mouth shape to match the vowels.

[@caspergotlost]

Try looking at artists like James Blunt that have softer songs without belting - it might help you feel less pressure to do things that engage that tension, and you'll be able to practice other techniques

[@keyliannys]

@@kingquesoIV Oo I love open throat technique. Took my classical singing on another level.

[@keyliannys]

@@caspergotlost Well you can't get better at something without failure, and belting is pretty important nowadays in the pop world.

[@shayan.vb.]

Such an amazing transformation!! Honestly I think your natural relaxed voice already sounds really good, once you're able to hit notes accurately without thinking you're gonna kill it!! One exercise that's really fun and goofy is finding a random sound you hear (fire alarm, siren, etc) and just pitch matching it or harmonizing with it for giggles (you'll be able to hear it blend in when you pitch match).

[@bsidewavy]

Thank you! Yeah I need to practice my pitch hella

[@Tanner-James]

Love your confidence! Kudos to putting yourself out there. I just started training with an accomplished opera singer these last few months after beating my head against a wall for years and my voice has grown tremendously. Can't recommend enough having a great vocal coach if you're able to afford one. The improvement I see with a coach versus without one is a massive difference for me personally. (I've trained with numerous vocal coaches, but for whatever reason everything is finally clicking with this latest instructor who also just happens to be an internationally acclaimed opera singer and one of the greatest overall musicians I have ever worked with in my life.) I'm singing C#5's now in full voice which I never thought I would be able to do. One thing I would recommend that my instructor is emphasizing in our lessons that I feel like I see you doing throughout this video is focusing too much on "how you sound" versus shaping your entire body into an instrument for singing. Vowel positions, jaw placement, posture, position of the larynx, coordination of the onset, whether or not you're engaging in proper breath support, etc. are fundamental to producing pleasing tones. The more you focus on how you sound at the expense of how you are generating sound, the more your overall sound may suffer unless you're simply getting lucky. Can be really easy for us as creatives in general to rely on luck or "inspiration" but we don't want to rely on inspiration, we want to rely on technique. Then if inspiration comes to dance alongside our technical foundation we are all the more blessed by the muses of music. Anyways, I'm sure you're receiving a lot of advice that may or may not contradict itself (best of luck in reconciling all of it - it's a process and your journey and particular instrument is uniquely your own to navigate) but thought I would throw my two cents in as another developing singer. Subscribed and looking forward to witnessing your unfolding process!

[@bsidewavy]

That’s sweet to hear and I’m excited since I’m getting my first vocal lessons soon. Hoping to experience something similar to you! That’s true though because with right technique your sound will naturally come and won’t be forced. But as a recording artist I guess I definitely rely on trying to sound good since I hear back my take right away but I’m focusing on my technique to get a better sound.

[@saraht1three]

I loved this. As someone who’s self taught in everything, there’s so much value in finding your way thru feeling. The breath control will come, it was the last thing for me and it changed everything. Isn’t it so rewarding when something just clicks?! I found more breath control when I started singing every note with “na na na” because you can feel the closeness of your vocal cords, it also helped me actually looking at a picture of what the vocal cords look like to see how they’re supposed to be closed, which will add richness to your tone, reduce the air coming out with each note, and allow you to sing longer without gasping for more air. Any air you’re not dedicating to sound should be kept back. I’m absolutely no expert so if anything I said is wrong anybody can feel free to correct me. I just know sometimes it’s helpful to hear things stated in a non-professional way because when you’re not trained the formal terms don’t help as much as the feeling and the way someone explains something is everything. Only you can apply those explanations with your own mind-body connection. I was pushing way too hard, trying to bubble out to top or my stomach for a while because I saw it in some video, breathing from my feet for a while because I saw it in some video, and none of that worked for me as much as thinking about expanding my mid to lower back when breathing, and thinking about all my sound coming from my solar plexus. My point is everyone is different and everyone will give you their advice, but do what works for you, and build on every “click” you achieve. ❤

[@jefolson6989]

Equalizing the mouth space for every vowel will help you tremendously. As a voice teacher id say your voice is " too far back", meaning its not resonating in the mask . ( Im used to working with opera singers who need to project without a microphone) Humming and practicing on "ng" would help that, but we create our own unique sound, so if you are happy with your sound, dont mess with it. Very good work. Imagine if you sang 2 hours a day ( morning and evening)

I'm not an expert but I took voice lessons for a year and was in choir for a few years, and your voice sounds like it can hit a really low register, you might be an excellent bass. So going for songs with a lower register or taking it down an octave may be better to start training your voice.

This is AMAZING!!! It took me years to improve my singing and I’m still working on it. The dedication and the improvements here are so significant- I hope you realize how impressive it actually is :))) this is so so so cool - for the tension check out Cheryl Porter, she emphasizes that in her methods on KZbin and in her course :)

[@bsidewavy]

Awesome I’ll check it out! Thanks

[@melicr92]

Yes! Check out Cheryl porter for sure

[@peachmelt]

You sound amazing, loved your transparency with this journey /experiment

[@bsidewavy]

Thanks for watching

[@Urr342]

Love hate really sounds great after the 30 days!!!!!! Just amazing I think your music suits your voice the best Keep going u r doing great

[@bsidewavy]

Ayy thank you :)

[@AntonSchukin]

This is super inspirational thank you! I'm currently struggling with a feeling of lacking progress but you motivate me to keep trying. Your tone is so pleasant!

[@bsidewavy]

keep singing!

[@todoku8257]

Damn dude that progress is crazy! You’ve motivated me to start learning to sing myself :) I love singing so much and vocals are some of the most beautiful music to my ears but I never dare to sing myself bc i find my voice so ugly… But if one can make so much progress in a single month I think I might just find the courage to go at it. Cheers to you!

[@jamiehamilton675]

Actually really impressed with your vocals. You absolutely have the voice, control is really all you need to focus on. You nailed it on Adore You. That song really fits your voice well. You're also really brave for putting yourself out there. I'm one of those people who actually can sing decently. I definitely have no voice to be trying out for American Idol or anything but was in honors choir in grade school yet still won't sing in front of other people unless of course, when I was an in a group where no one could pull out my voice from the others lol. Trying out for honors choir, in front of just my choir teacher was hard enough. Trying out for solos just didn't happen lol even in my 30s, get me in a car by myself or singing when no one else is home, I may not sound like a superstar but I rock it like I am but if anyone is around I don't sing lol. I've been through a hella lot in my life as a disabled person with a rare disease so I don't get embarrassed easily. With my medical history, if I go to the hospital or a doctor's appointment and have to take off my clothes for whatever reason, I can rip those babies off faster than a stripper. I can talk about my bowel movements in great detail and as easily as if I were talking about the weather or something. When I was paralyzed I had to be totally re-potty trained. Although that's probably the most humiliating experience of my life and took 8 months, by about month three, I got to a point where I could crack a joke at my own expense about peeing the bed as an adult, buy a plastic bed cover, and Depends at the store as easily as I could buy a gallon of milk and could tell the medical staff ” Better your bed than mine” lol. With that.being said, I'm still extremely uncomfortable singing in front of someone and you sang in front of god knows how many someone's. So, voice aside, I have to give you a lot of credit for that. You have the voice and that's the biggest and most important part. Some say everyone can sing. I'll be brutally honest. I was a sign language interpreting major and I know some Deaf individuals, one in particular who was born totally deaf and had never heard a sound in his life but was born to a very musically inclined family and learned to play the drums and sing by feeling family members throats and trying to match the vibrations. I also know hearing individuals who can sing nowhere near as well as some of these Deaf individuals. Not saying their a lost cause but some of them can hear perfectly fine yet sound like a cat giving birth while being attacked by another animal lol. You have a good voice and some control so have a lot of potential and obviously don't have a deathly fear of singing in front of others so give yourself credit where credit is deserved. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@bsidewavy]

Thanks for the comment :) well singing in front of a camera for me is different that in front of people. Have never performed before and that will surely be nerve racking haha.

[@serenaleahy-higgins3]

you improved SO MUCH! the one thing id suggest is practicing hard enunciation. in certain parts you would sorta trail off on a word or not enunciaate and it would add alot if you did that! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="760">12:40</a> - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="770">12:50</a> is a good example of that. you did so well!

[@bsidewavy]

very true i need to work on that :)

[@khristinemercader9218]

Love how real this was. Enjoyable, chill and fun. Couldn't help but giggle and laugh along when he was laughed mid-singing as well.

[@bsidewavy]

Haha glad you enjoyed!

[@rm.makes.me.smile_]

Dude the moments of laughing at yourself are soooo relatable 😂 like it’s hard to take the technique practices seriously sometimes cause they sound so goofy but then when I actually hit a note that I couldn’t before I’m like 👀 so that’s what that does Edit: you have a new subscriber by the way 💛 your vibes are so lovely :,)

[@bsidewavy]

Hahaha yeah they are weird sometimes! Thank you :)

[@altheapalis]

omg I just realized ur songs "daydreaming" and "dopamine" are on my playlist and I didn't even realize.. i love these songs and i'm so proud of you!

[@bsidewavy]

Yooo no way!! That’s awesome haha crazy you found your way here :)

[@kintokigintoki9923]

Amazing progress! I would recommend that you look into things like breath support (diaphragmatic breathing) and vowel placement, while also being open to new things! It seems like you've already been exposed to the weird side of singing, though those weird things work which is the best thing about it lol. New York vocal coaching is a really good singing resource, though I would recommend trying to find a credible vocal coach to really help you boost your skills. Keep up the good work and stay conscious of when you need to take a break.

[@bsidewavy]

Thanks! Yeah I’m getting a coach that I found locally so I can’t wait to start lessons

[@kintokigintoki9923]

@@bsidewavy awesome! Hopefully things go well my friend!

[@vincentyou7994]

I feel like I’m watching myself train all over again. I just started doing dedicated practice recently and I relate to every step. All the takes. God I have years of takes. I appreciate you. You’re the best. Keep posting. You have a forever fan in me.

[@vincentyou7994]

Btw when you were singing can’t help falling in love…I found myself naturally wanting to sing alongside you. And I did and I had so much fun. You’re very talented.

[@mikey002]

so wholesome and real. Keep growing and practicing bro!

[@bsidewavy]

Thanks :)

[@JacquiCuff]

There's actually a clear difference! Amazing!!

[@imjustarandomgirl]

Wow, this video is so inspiring, thank you for sharing with us the light and the shadows ❤ You’ve inspired me to become a better version of myself ✨

[@bsidewavy]

I’m glad it’s inspiring :)

[@ivonnecastro3569]

I noticed also that you look and act more confident which shows in a very positive way. Nicely done!

[@pe3pe3po0po0]

One piece of advice I’d give from this video is song choice. Most male pop songs are in the tenor register but it sounds like you’re below that. I would try and find your natural register and pick your song choice from there. Well done that’s some great progress.

[@bsidewavy]

Yeah I already pitch songs down. So maybe I can find some others but it’s hard since I’m trying to sing songs I like haha

[@oliviacarter7663]

Wait omg the improvement is crazy this is so cool, and you have a beautiful soft voice! Sing songs in a way that fit YOUR unique and beautiful voice instead of trying to sing them in a way you think people want to hear

[@darkacademiavanessa]

this has been a really interesting watch! i should do this too omg i usually have random bursts of singing a lot but i have no set routine at the moment and i'm not taking voice lessons this semester so everything is a disaster

[@bsidewavy]

glad you watched! you could even do 15 minutes a day

[@joellejacobs6706]

the way i gasped when i saw u had 712 subs. your vids are really nice to watch and proffessional

[@bsidewavy]

Ayy thanks haha. Hope you were the 713th 😉

[@rawwnrecitestales]

seems like we started our singing journey together. This really helped me to continue uploading my covers on YT. I hate my voice, but I've been working on it let's see what's gonna happen.

[@bsidewavy]

Ayyy let’s go!

[@Quick-witted_idiot]

I remember coming across this very thumbnail a few months ago just before the page got refreshed... but it stuck in my mind and you don't know how inspired I was! Like, practice and consistency can enhance our skills to an amazing level, so keep working hard, you've got this! And I'm only too happy to have rediscovered this video, to have found your channel. Thank you! And yup your songs and you are ✨✨ :)

[@bsidewavy]

Thanks so much!! Glad I could inspire. I’m actually working on my 1 year progress video as well

[@Anastasiabruno]

I must say, you are amazing for doing this, I am also a beginner at 20 I’ve started taking singing classes and I improved a lot since then. I’ve also started piano lessons a few days ago. It’s never too late we will be amazing! I wouldn’t have sung golden hour as my first song because it’s too difficult 😂 but my very first homework song that my teacher gave me was the joker and the queen by ed Sheeran. It was an amazing first song What she taught me was to practice with BR NI NE NA NO NU ng (basically you stick the top part of your tongue to your palate and you need to do a very light sound” This improved my voice a lot Try to put you voice more forward it’s gonna sound better Your voice is amazing anyway, very warm !

[@bsidewavy]

Awesome glad u just started too! Than you very much :)

[@Tessoura]

Honestly the progress was insane in my opinion! If you continued you will soon become extremely good i guess ^-^

[@bsidewavy]

thanks! and still practicing

[@Writercatloverbakonn]

This is amazing! I learned how to sing high and low but all with practice... im glad practice helped you too 😂!

[@bsidewavy]

Practice makes perrrrfect

[@breakthrou_]

the vulnerability is inspiring, thanks for sharing this.

[@goldenhourss]

one thing that always made me confused is why my voice sounded different recorded and while the other sounded so good. but the thing is the recorded version is how we really sound. had to get over the initial trauma and record myself more.

[@bsidewavy]

Haha. Yea u sound different on recording for sure

[@morganclark345]

You have a naturally pleasant vocal timbre. Kudos for working to cultivate new vocal tools. I can definitely hear an improvement in confidence and tone.

[@bsidewavy]

thank u!

[@littlenewbs7295]

So awesome to see this whole process!! KEEP SINGING!!! I think it's the best hobby. I may be biased, but it's so freeing I think you'll see better results when you relax on some days and not focus as much on tech! I also think that enunciation will help your overall sound a lot. Chewing those consonants!

[@bsidewavy]

thanks for watching!

[@ksenia_asta]

wow, how brave you are! That is so cool to show your singing to the world! Sending you love ☀️

[@bsidewavy]

Can’t wait as well!

you sound so good!! thank you for being so real and vulnerable by posting this it shows that anyone really can learn to sing. i’m a few months in & finally seeing some progress it takes dedication but it’s worth it. i love being able to sing my little heart out!

[@bsidewavy]

tyty

[@FilwIVE]

I like your very clear voice, keep working hard, you can do it!

[@bsidewavy]

Thanks :)

[@SFsuperforte]

Very good progress! One aspect that I think will really help you is tone color or "placement". You often sing with a dark tone color that is somewhat "swallowed" and far back in the throat. You can "place" your tone more forward towards your nasal cavity which creates a brighter tone. You should try singing with nasalty to get the feeling, or try singing on the voiced consonants "m" "n" or "ng". I thought your tone was the best the times that I heard it go brighter

[@bsidewavy]

Thanks! Been working on my placement a lot recently

[@naura1111]

Definitely obvious improvement on the pitch! Good job!

[@bsidewavy]

Thank u!

[@MaXLebel]

This was so cool! I love how much open your throat sounds after the challenge, it really pops your voice much more

[@bsidewavy]

Thank yaaa

[@astrowerm]

Im in the same boat bro, but im about to start my journey! Wonderful job so far and being proactive!

[@bsidewavy]

Happy you’re starting!

This shows skills can be learned through practice and nothing to be ashamed about it.

[@carriekitchen5796]

Omggg I would love to train you!!! Some virtual lessons would be lit! You did sooo good in This month. You are obviously naturally musical. I hope you continue on this vocal journey.

[@bsidewavy]

i have a vocal coach already but thank you!!

[@torikpop822]

Singing is a skill, some develop it naturally early on while others need time/practice to get there. The more you do it the better you will get at it
