Members Wood Chuck Posted August 18, 2011 Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 I have always done my vocal work in standard tuning, not a problem however recently I have tuned ALL my Guitars to E flat, So when My neighbor handed me his guitar that was tuned standard, I squealed like robo to get the notes out. I then came home & sang with my git with nary a prob. Is there REALLY that much difference in a half step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coach Posted August 18, 2011 Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah, it's a little different. I sing better in some keys than others. Then again, I'm not a strong singer. Take that however you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnorkelMonkey Posted August 18, 2011 Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yes. That's another reason I use a capo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted August 18, 2011 Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yes. Key is very important, even a half-step can make a difference. I know a singer who is fantastic in Eb, but E just doesn't bring out the best in her voice. I have keys that I sing so much better in than others. Basic idea is tessitura.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessitura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that however you like.Macca had a voice that could do it all. I guess practice works wonders. Tony Bennet is 82 years old & sings almost as well as he did when he was young. The voice truly is an instrument in itself. Use it or lose it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
