[@cgonzt5636]

Oh man, I can’t reiterate enough how a life lifesaver this video is, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m so glad something came up when I searched YT about “why my recording sounded bad” 😂 -I’ll be honest with you, I started feeling down and terrible abt myself why I have a weird hearing and singing issue. I thought I’m among the less fortunate person in the world who is not naturally gifted with this singing and hearing coordination. I recently recorded 9 takes /tracks of same song, using 3 different mic, 3 takes for each mic. Guess what, I didn’t like what I hear in playback, and worst, I even cannot recall sounding like that when I was singing 😝 😆 Now I know why and will definitely have to recalibrate. But how come this knowledge is not as popular as the vocal warm ups.. 😆 I felt like being the last person to know about this. But thanks again!

[@TreXsJournal-Coming-Soon]

If you don't have a good studio engineer, or are doing this by yourselves, this might apply to you: 1. Step away from the mic some. DO NOT BE RIGHT UP ON IT! 2. Here's what I learned. I was trying to figure this out for I don't know how long. If you take one of the headphones off your ear in the middle of you recording, and singing as you normally do with the headphones on, you will notice that you are not singing like you do with the headphones off! At least that's what it was for me. So, I did a retake with one headphone out, and listed to myself with one headphone off while recording a whole song. When I got through, I listened to it, and heard exactly the improved sound I expected to. Give it a try. I think this is because I have the playback setting very low, because if I don't it has to much delay. So, I don't think the computer had been fully processing my voice, enough to give me the feedback I needed to sing through the song.

[@heriander_]

I always thought my voice was light and clear. Until that time in high school when I heard my own recorded voice on one of my English class speech tapes, it was terribly low. I hate it LMAO.

Hi Adam you have a bump on the left hand side of your neck and I am a little bit concerned. A guy from a tv show called Flip or Flop was diagnosed with cancer after a nurse who watched the show started to notice a bump on his neck area. I really recommend you go get checked out before it becomes a problem. Not trying to stress or scare you in anyway but I hope it is nothing.

NOT saying I noticed the bump, but I found this interesting. A Tampa, FL nurse anchor had the same thing happen to her. She announced it last week in People magazine. A news viewer noticed a lump on the anchor’s neck. She emailed her and said it reminded her of her own neck. The news anchor took it seriously and went to her doctor. She found out it was thyroid cancer. It was a viewer’s short email that helped save a life! It’s always nice to help out and err on the side of caution.

I disagree. If anything, mics on smartphones or those singing apps (Singscope) make your voice sound even more distorted. Your voice sounds fine on this video, but your smartphone makes it sound off. Idk. I wouldn't go by the smartphone alone. Maybe starting off, if it helps you correct certain things in the beginning, and it's all you have -- okay. But I'd stay away from them. Honestly, I found recording yourself through Snapchat lol is the closest to what you sound like...but again just as a platform to start by. A vocal coach is the best judgement to correct pitch

I have a question😬. I've been singing for like 2 years and then through watching voice lessons here, I learned that I'm singing the wrong way. I just start singing the way right now and, I can follow or hit the notes now whenever I listen or sing along to a music. But I noticed that I can't hit high notes like I can't even hit c4. So, I searched if I'm a bass ('cause I can't hit high notes) but then I see that there's bass, baritone, and tenor. But, I also see that baritone can sing from G2 to F4, so I tried to see my lower voice and it's G2 so now I'm thinking that maybe I'm a baritone. Yes Omg it's so confusing even for me. So is it like normal for me to not reach high notes or am I just really a bass? (Lol🤣) (or is it like a puberty thing. I'm 15😀)
