Members cjpbarboza Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 you are very out of key, try to balance your voice with the guitar tones, the guitar is here and your voice over there, but actually your voice tone is very strong so you can do something so much better good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mercenary Posted July 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 Out of key. Is my voice too sharp or flat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cjpbarboza Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 is too sharp compared with the guitar tone, just try to focus in the music and try to balance your voice with the guitar tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jugulator Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 Not bad. The high notes sound a bit forced. And more support is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members staticsound Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 ^ tips for more support? Sing from your diaphragm and don't breath shallow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members singergirl246 Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 I definitely agree with the above post. Sing from your diaphragm and don't breathe shallow. It sounds like your forcing the pitch especially during the higher notes and the lower notes sound dragging and flat. Support is key. Just focus the breath from deep within. Practice good posture and stand up straight. I would recommend looking in a mirror while you sing and see if you notice these things; lifting of the shoulders ( Your shoulder should never raise while your singing. If it does, it means your breathing is coming from your upper part of your chest instead of the diaphragm) And notice if your throat tenses up while you sing because that's a sign of straining. Relaxation is very important while singing, and no part of your body should be tense. Your jaw should also be very loose. Also a trick my voice coach taught me is that when you think your straining to hit high notes, lift the soft pallet more, drop the jaw completely and raise those eye brows. It works a lot. If you still feel like your staining then your voice isn't strong enough yet. In your case you should definitely practice scales everyday, this builds strength in your vocal chords, but never overuse or misuse your voice while doing them. You should ALWAYS practice good vocal technique while singing. Bad technique can lead to vocal nodules in the later future. Good luck, hope I could help!

Members beach1 Posted July 24, 2011 Members Share Posted July 24, 2011 As has been said, you need to work on your pitch a lot more. But I think the sound of your actual voice itself is very good. If you learn how to sing with better techniques I think you'll sound very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
