I just couldn't sing tonight

At my band practice tonight, for some reason (this has happened before) I just couldn't sing well. It's not like I was off pitch or anything, but for whatever reason sometimes my voice just sounded bad...nasally and strained sounding.

 

Does this happen to anyone else? If so, any tips?

It happens to me a lot. Every day is different.

 

Maybe it's allergies blowing around, or it is too hot to sing, or I can't concentrate, or I'm upset about something.

 

Once when I was sounding bad I recorded my voice. When I listened to the recording I did not think it was bad. Maybe sometimes we just think we sound bad.

Yes, good post. I've had the same experience--when I play back a recording it is never nearly as bad as it sounded to me while I was singing.

 

All sorts of things can affect your voice--dehydration, lack of sleep, constipation, all sorts of emotional states, eating too close to singing, etc. The list goes on....

 

But here's where all of the practice we do pays off--no matter how bad you feel about your voice, you'll find that the time you spent practicing has shaped your voice in such a way to prevent a true fail. You will find that some days your voice isn't what you want it to be, but you'll build faith in your ability to carry on anyway. :thu:
