Well, here is how I improved my singing for free with no vocal coaches! I really hope it is somewhat helpful! Thank you all for the support and encouraging me to keep singing, it means the world! :)

My main problems with singing are probably: 1, thinking I sound bad and someone’s gonna hear me. Like REALLY bad. And 2, my voice breaks a lot

[@Hope-si1kb]

Your voice is probably breaking because you are singing out of your range. That and you probably aren't doing vocal warm ups or drinking enough water. I suggest finding a KZbin video that helps you find your vocal range. And if you end up having a small range, it's okay because you can grow your range to grow higher. It takes time, but you can. I suggest Jacob's vocal academy on KZbin. He has vocal warm up videos and videos to help extend you range

[@melanieweeda4238]

The thing is that the voice you hear in your head is not the same voice other people hear. It is because when you sing, you hear the sound waves coming from your mouth, but you ALSO hear the ones that take a shortcut THROUGH your head. Other people only hear what's coming through your mouth. The only thing you can do about it is to record yourself and listen to it often. Get to know your own voice and how it sounds outside of your head only. I hope that makes sense :)

Tips 1) do warm up everyday (u just hv to force urself until it becomes a habit) 2) pick one song and sing after a month to check progress 3) vocal care is very important 4) be comfortable with ur voice (Ik it's hard but u just gotto do it. Not everyone in this world is deaf. Naked truth: if you wanna improve u hv to step out of your comfort zone) 5) do more research on singing vocab so u understand what ppl are talking abt 6) try different technique and don't try to sing like ur fav singer cause ur not them ( sing for urself) 7) Just work hard, there's no easy fix to this you just have to work hard even on days u feel like you don't want to. You just gotto do it. 8) don't hard on urself. Be patience. Remember singing is a skill u have to learn not something ue born with.

[@thejacksonluciaduo1214]

It’s that “I’m” in I’m so into you, into you, into you. You are not hitting the right note on the “I’m” it might feel to high. So instead your are trying a lower note but that is making you change keys, as the note your trying is not in the key of the song. You simply cannot do that. If the highest note is too high bring the whole song down in key. Try the song in a lower key. Changing key randomly in a song is bad and a complete no no! just stop that!!

[@LuvKitKatt]

She was off key when she did that part. The rest was amazing ♡ once she gets that key right shes mastered it. I think the reason why she went off key is because shes playing the song in her head and I think shes trying to follow the key in her head, but when she reaches the "I'm so into you" part she realizes that ariana grande goes higher than the notes she sings before hand.. so she switched the key to make it less so that she wont have to strain to sing that part so high

It's possible to change the melody without changing the entire key. She could've done that. Something tells me that's what she was trying to do but she didn't execute it very well. It's honestly so easy to just lose focus when singing, especially during a long phrase. Nevertheless, her tone is beautiful.

Kiwi Nycc yeah but that's wrong, you should never change the key in the middle of singing lmao it sound horrible 😖 if she's doing a cover then she should sing the whole song in a key she's comfortable with

[@goldentones664]

I have started experimenting with my voice, and honestly it’s so fun. Sometimes I hit tenor notes, and I’m just like WOAH! Lol. I’ve also noticed, EMOTION, when you put emotion into the song and feel the lyrics, it also helps with that natural tone you were talking about. When you feel the music, your voice feels it as well, and I’m so glad I’ve gotten better with my emotion when it came to singing.

Hey, I don’t know if I’m late or if you already know this, but learning the piano can really help with pitch, because it helps you memorize what the notes are supposed to sound like (especially with scales).

@@Apricot-nl5ue What do you mean pushing from the throat? Yawning relaxes the throat and tongue, it's a technique to keep things relaxed and open, it's a starting point to build on but if we're talking about where to push from, that would be the diaphragm, belly breathing, but also if we're talking about the vocal cords they do need practice/exercise to gain control. I've been doing this for a while.

[@arielysmartin9659]

When you sing " cause im so into you" you go off-key, why could that be? But either way really good progress

[@giacomo2116]

i thought i was the only one hearing it, like crazy off key. She still mantains an excellent voice but way off

[@StephanyCamacho]

She needs to practice the notes with a perfectly tuned piano app/ midi or actual piano, otherwise she will continue to guess the notes and go off key.

[@joannemai7573]

I think it was too high for her and then she went off key. Can't lie, I've done it before and straight away I cringe

[@jedhenry1067]

I'm dead, I commented on your video from last year applauding your progress. To only then find out that you have a video from this year

[@sawyerbass4661]

I've been singing for 10 years, and I'm just barely beyond decent, finally hitting good. Every single skill takes time. How much time it takes you could be 2 years or 15, but keep at it and you'll make it.

[@rexus10]

I appreciate you posting this. I’ve taken almost identical path as you have, in self teaching myself on how to sing properly (endless videos, Spotify playlists of warmups & excercises - Jacobs Academy etc., mobile apps - apps that track pitch have been vital & then the actual recording & listening of my voice to familiarize & discover my tone & the strengths & weaknesses, also vids of myself singing to spot any tension or other red flags).The hardest part is the uncertainty that comes as a result of being self-taught, & the insecurity of wether I’ve interpreted or applied info & principles correct, even in the face of what I perceive has been progress & success. There’s always a looming wonder if im achieving it in the right or healthy manner. So, to not only hear the story of progress from an individual whose methods & ideals in learning the new skill, are similar to my own, but also getting to hear the progression first hand & seeing the visible proof, has given me a great deal of comfort, knowing there’s someone out there learning the same way I’m doing it, and it’s worked. And so maybe it’s ok, to feel ok, about what I felt I’ve improved on myself. So Ty again!

[@GoldenFez]

Very nice progress video, love it!

[@marika6968]

"Breathing and support is the back bone of singing" TOTALLY AGREE!! I did study singing in college and that's a major point my teacher kept telling us. BREATHING IS KEY!!

[@RandomVideos4U]

As a musical theatre performer I’m so impressed with how you figured this out on your own! Keep up the hard work!

[@ChristinaKairouz]

I love your determination and how you took things into your own hands through experimenting and research. All the information you provided is applicable and so true, however, if I may point out something out of personal experience, I do believe that at some point, there has to be some sort of guidance, and doesn't have to be long term, since you're already aware of so many aspects of singing, but it's always important to have a vocal coach to guide you and push you forward, someone who will use their knowledge and expertise to help you unleash your full potential, and some aspects that you might not discover on your own. You have a beautiful voice, keep going, and concerning your pitch, there are some exercises you could do to train your musical ear that would help a lot. Good luck!

[@incognito-qx8do]

"you gotta do what makes you happy and not what satisfies other people." gotta remember that. I do get kinda shy around people to practice singing. thank you for this video. you're amazing♡

[@sanvigupta9748]

This message is for those who think that their voice is very bad no u don't hate ur voice . Have you ever felt that when you sing, sometimes you sing too good and u can't believe it. U are a amazing singer. Trust your self never listen to others . My family members always tell me that I m screaming. Sometimes I feel bad but just ignore their words why? , Because every singer in the starting is not a perfectionist we have to practice to be perfect at singing so never listen to anyone we can prove them that they were wrong and you can do much better. Never stop singing or any activity that u are into . Even famous singers also practice to improve themself . If anyone discourage you then listen from one ear and let the words go from other. Be happy. sing for you. Trust yourself All the best for future . Good look👍😊

This is literally the most honest video i've ever watched. Thank you! your voice is amazing.

[@iiuploadsounds5720]

thank you for proving that theory, i love to sing and when i was little my parents would always influence it and encourage me, i started singing loudly and proudly in schools and choirs and then people started commenting on it, like my bullies and stuff, it effected me so much i stopped singing loudly and i’d try to suppress my voice while singing cause i was scared that people would hear me even in my own house. i could’ve gotten somewhere earlier with this if peoples opinions ruined my mind so young. i didn’t even sound bad they just wanted to hurt me it’s so sad

[@Life0fTy]

When it comes to pitch try picking up an easy instrument or play a long with a piano. Like even playing with a guitar in tune will help you have something to compare too. The other thing you could try is ear training and try to get a little more natural feeling of what the pitch feels like and sounds like

[@izabellaboros7079]

You are so sweet. And thank you for the motivation! :) Also, I love your voice.

[@KaylaRose]

No problem!💜

[@so.phiasco]

you have really good tone! i would suggest that you look up how to use head voice and how to switch into head voice to avoid breathiness on higher notes. i bet in you head voice you can go so much higher than you think you can. also when you warm up use solfege. if you have a piano play middle C as do and keep going until your voice starts cracking even if it sounds bad and do the same for your lower range and go down from middle C until all you can do is fry. this will tremendously expand your range. you have natural talent! keep working at it!

[@KaranMishra]

This video is so fully of honesty and the best one I've come across. Just like you I've also have done the research and made the similar conclusions. Practice singing, when you practice singing the songs you like, each time you sing along with your favorite song, you'll notice slight difference in each verse/chorus. Improve on those, try to sing exactly like the singer provided you have a similar voice and your voice goes with that kind of style (Don't force yourself, bad for vocal cords). Practising is the key. Exercises/Warm ups are so very important. Just like an athlete warm ups his muscle before his session, a singer must warm up his/her vocal cords before singing. Lip rolls, trills are good.

[@herooyuki5470]

Lowkey sound like ariana when you laughed 💀

[@cheeseontoast3434]

You are my inspiration when it comes to singing. You improved so much by your own hard work. I love music. To me, singing is something so beautiful and natural, yet I can't do it. I was not born talented, and even though almost every vocal coach says that anyone can learn to sing, I still didn't quite believe in myself. You gave me new hope and courage to start practising at home. Thank you.

[@HesLimitless]

Cheese on Toast keep going 💪🏾❤️

[@iamatomic16]

Singing is not a talent its a skill whoch if you give time, commitment and you have the right information about it you can get good at it. Singing is like a course that you took when you where in college. You give time, commitment and you have the right information to learn it.

[@kailey9328]

even if the "i'm so into you" is off key it's still sounds amazing to me !! 💞

[@lecourageuxame100]

I can relate to her! I have improved my singing as well without lessons. What I did was I just kept singing in Smule. The karaoke app that just allows u to record ur singing voice clearly with the actual instrumental of the song, as well as sing with other ppl for fun. The more I could hear my voice get integrated in the tune, the more I can pick up and determine what I did wrong, which part I was off pitch and if my tempo was off. That’s one of the good thing when u hear and review ur voice recording is that u learn to rlly listen and develop a keen hearing to the notes. The more I sing in the app, the better I got. And of course, looking up singing techniques helped too. Even better knowing I have a place I could apply it to (the Smule app). I knew I have improved so much because my friend who can actually sing and has a golden voice was pleasantly surprised at how much better I sounded when we were karaoking one time. It was the best compliment I have received. Especially coming from her. ❤ So keep practicing!! U can do it too! P.S. Through singing different genres of songs in the app, I find the genre that best fits my voice are threatrical songs. I get compliments when I sing broadway, disney and barbie songs; but no so much pop and rnb’s cuz I can’t do riffs. So that’s how I found out about my forte. 😉

For all the people confused why she was good at the start, that was her singing under a year ago, she`s actually been singing for about 2-4 years now (And this isn`t your fault for thinking this it wasn`t very clear in the video and you`d have to watch it twice or thrice to catch it). Everyone whose able to talk can improve their singing skills, including you it just takes time and dedication.

[@bellabluenwayyay]

you're a really sweet person, thank you for your advice and encouraging words, they really mean a lot. Thank you

[@BubblyViolin11]

Sing with a tuner! It does require you to know the name of the pitches you’re singing, but it gives you a visual reference. Training your ear will help a lot too. You can also try cupping your ears while you sing. Being truly tone deaf is pretty rare. When most people struggle with pitch, it’s because they can’t hear themselves properly. Cupping your ears will help with that.

[@mayemets4908]

How is no one talking about how much she sounds like Ariana Grande when she sings and also when she laughs

[@rilesic._6444]

Breathing helps in high notes as well as rapping so yeah i totally agree with you that breathing is one of the most important things when you sing

[@williemacon30]

I like how humble she is when she knows she’s amazing

[@racheloshaksmusic]

Another tip to help you avoid changing key while singing and going off pitch, is listen and feel the music! Listen to yourself carefully AS you sing and you’ll be far more self aware when something is off and you’ll automatically stop yourself or start again. 🙏🏾❤️ inner critic can be useful sometimes

[@bd_2727]

3:19 I recorded a video of me singing and playing the guitar and I posted it in my priv snap, which had my friends and my best friends. Anyways, Two guys (I’m going to call them “fake friends”) sled into my dms and made fun of me and told me that I can’t sing. I was hurt, I literally was crying and thought I couldn’t sing. BUT later I told my self that some people will hate and some people will show love. And I’d like to thank these two guys for making me improve😂❤️ Love you btw ❤️

[@KaylaRose]

Good, I’m so glad! Keep going☺️

[@FrenchEclairYall]

Awesome video! I wish I found this way earlier. ❤️😭 I'm definately no professional, but I've been singing for as long as I could remember. I was in choir and theatre for a couple years as well. I've learned that: 1. It helps, or at least helps me, improve whenever I record myself and listen to that audio a couple of times to see what I have to work on. What I've also noticed is that after not listening to it for a while (a day after or so), you begin to notice things you could learn and improve from! 2. Figure out a pitch where you're most comfortable singing at (Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto 1, Alto 2, Bass, Tenor . . Etc). When I figured that out, it was easier to select songs to practice with. Explore with caution. Don't hurt your voice. 3. (IF you're a student) It wouldn't hurt to ask a choir teacher at your school for some advice or tips. I'd totally ask about warm ups or ways to how to not strain your voice. It's better to know how to not strain yourself when you first start out or bad habits can cost you in the future. I still struggle. :,) The choir teacher could be nice about it if you're courteous about when you ask. I personally don't see anything wrong with it if they aren't busy. Just be polite! 4. Set a goal on what you want to focus on and go from there. (E.G. You want to learn how to make your vibrato more natural and less forced). 5. Please try not to compare yourself to others, because little do you know, they've likely been singing longer than you have! Practice never makes perfect. Nothing is ever perfect. Practice makes better! We'll never stop learning how to improve. 6. Sometimes you do have to step outside of your comfort zone. There's plenty of ways you can continue to improve and learn with your community! Maybe community choirs, church choirs, theatre troops, karaoke nights, etc! It's scary at first but it's really fun (take it from someone who used to feel like they were going to hurl if they had to perform in front of others). Always pace yourself though. 7. Be open to constructive critique! You'll never improve if you think you don't need there's anything to be learned from. 8. Figure out ways you like to practice singing. Whether it be singing to the radio, singing while you do the dishes or while you clean, singing in the bathroom, or doing karaoke! Just keep singing. I feel it's better to learn the way you think is fun rather than how most think "it's supposed to be done", so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else or you! 9. There will be times you feel discouraged and won't want to continue, but know that you're different every single day. Your voice is an instrument that needs to be taken care of. Drink water, take breaks, and have fun. There will be days you feel like, "Man, I can't sing today". But that's perfectly fine and normal. Really all I can think of as of now, but I think I'll continue to add on if anything else comes to mind. Just wanted to share things I think could be useful! You guys got this ❤️
