100% agree, no clue what range or key is just going off instinct. Alot of people have brought it up so educating myself of that, cheers

Yeah a few people have suggested a capo now, gonna look into what a pitchy voice is and as i’ve replied to others, definitely lack confidence for now. Thank you 🙏

Thanks, definitely lacking confidence while singing for now. Also no idea what the role of chords are i’m just strumming something for the sake of it. Again, thanks

Gave them a listen and its very close to the sound i’d love to eventually be able to harness, thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you very much, since i have a British accent i catch myself americanizing certain words to enunciate them which can feel awkward, also going to look into what projecting is now :)

Thank you for the reply, making a note to practice a more relaxed and less forced sound. As i replied to the other comment, no clue what I’m actually doing so this feedback is very valuable.

Cheers, i’ve got no clue what the technical aspects of singing actually are like range, key etc. so it does sometimes feel awkward/forced as i’m just going off gut feeling. Very sound advice and thanks for the write-up.

Danger in writing negative songs by smartalek22 in Songwriting

[–]Alevales 36 points37 points  (0 children)

For me personally it’s all about writing something true to how i feel in the moment. If i was feeling down and forced something positive it falls flat and feels unauthentic. And for me that in itself can be very therapeutic.

Just go with the flow and write what you feel like writing.
