"changing the key to make it more singable" hits home with me. I love Chris Tomlin and Phil Wickham and all those artists, but I can't tell you the last time we did one of their songs in the original key. If people can't sing along with something they simply won't sing then you're not really leading anymore.

Been an "ok" singer most of my life, choirs, praise teams, campfires, and the like. After retiring from the day job decided I wanted to gig professionally and wanted to improve my tone and breath control. I found a vocal coach on Craigslist and he really made a difference. The proof came about a year later when I went to the lake house of my choir director, and offered to do a sundown show for her and the neighbors. Afterward she said I had really improved, not that I was "bad" before, but much better. The vocal coach helped me most with breath, listening, and managing head voice vs chest voice.

Kudos for seeking ways to improve! All of us can always be better than we are. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard someone play or sing and thought “even if they just had a couple of lessons, it would make such an impact in the quality of their playing.” But most people either don’t realize they need it or else they don’t think it matters.

The guest preacher Sunday morning played a song on acoustic guitar and the singing was so off key that I didn’t even recognize the song at first and was cringing as he sang. Then he preached so loud, it was near yelling, I had to put my fingers over my ears while trying not to be too obvious sitting on the front row right in front of the guy. And he had no microphone (didn’t need one) in the house church. I am resolving to wear earplugs because some people’s voices are very loud.

I've sent videos to people with how to sing on key, etc there's people that just literally cannot do it they don't hear the tones and my opinion is they don't belong in front of the congregation.

Thanks for this Spencer! A couple of questions. 1) regarding tone deafness....I agree on going back and listening but would a truly tone deaf person be able to recognize that they are off pitch? Could it also be that maybe they are hearing other parts and that's where the struggle is? 2) re not being respected as the Worship Leader, there's not enough information. What is it that makes this Leader feel disrespect? Also, doesn't leadership include walking along side the team and listening to some of their concerns and perhaps validating some of those concerns? Your example of singing songs in a more congregational appropriate key is one area that our Leader refuses to "buy in to". We've had several conversations about this. But it clearly aligns with your video on 3 ways to lose your congregation, which I have shared with him.
