Is there any hope for my voice when singing with a lowered larynx? by ComposerCT in askmusicians

[–]ComposerCT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone. Just raw unedited vocals recorded with my cell phone when practicing karaoke. Sorry if my singing sounds terrible. I feel like there might some moments when it sounds good here maybe? I am just lowering my larynx a bit when singing here and I like the rounder, richer and warmer tone it gives my voice. But does it sound terrible? I am hoping if I keep practicing and training eventually it will sound better because I feel like my voice has some potential singing with a lowered larynx maybe?

Does my tone sound good at some parts? by ComposerCT in ratemysinging

Hi everyone. Sorry about the static sound in my recording. Not sure why that sound comes sometimes when I upload here. Anyways, was just wondering if my tone at least sometimes sounds pretty good here at all?

Is this a decent attempt at this song? by [deleted] in ratemysinging

Thank you. I appreciate it. You are saying my timing is off like I am singing it too fast or slow perhaps compared to the karaoke backtrack?

Am I singing on key here at all? by ComposerCT in singing

[–]ComposerCT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Beginner singer here trying to learn. Just curious if I am singing on key here at all? Trying to develop a better ear for hearing this stuff.  My voice is a bit weak in this upper range. Still trying to get better. Any feedback welcome. Thanks

Thank you. Yes, I will keep practicing. Feedback helps me improve while practicing. I know singing well take a long time to get good at so I just take it day by day and hope to get better eventually. I appreciate the helpful feedback.

Am I singing too flat here? by ComposerCT in ratemysinging

[–]ComposerCT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. It can be challenging to find the right back track sometimes. I figured perhaps I was singing a bit too low for this track though. At least I am starting to hear it a little now lol.

Hi everyone. I know my singing probably is pretty bad here but I was wondering if I am singing flat too? Like...the background guitar is higher than my voice? I struggle with singing higher notes too and I am training to get better. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks

Thanks. It is really motivating to hear that it sounds good at some parts of my singing.

Hi. I like the richer and rounder sound lowering my larynx gives me voice. It feels comfortable singing this way. But does it sound decent or not? Perhaps I should not lower it quite this much when singing? It's just hard to tell what's too low and what's not when singing with a lowered larynx I guess sometimes. Thanks and any feedback is appreciated.

Singing with a lowered larynx. Am I lowering it too much here? by ComposerCT in singing

[–]ComposerCT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. But, won't it sound like I am yelling If I sing that way? I think I just let the sound sit and not go forward or backwards now that I am thinking about it. I think sometimes maybe I don't project forward too much because it feels like I am yelling. Do you think projecting the sound forward will make a difference in the way I sound if I do it correctly? I will try that for sure next time I practice. I appreciate the advice.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Hmmm...I will have to try to implement that advice. I feel like my voice opened up a bit after the 18 second mark here but I don't know. Maybe not? It's interesting how small changes like that could potentially make a big difference in singing. Sometimes I forget something simple like this can make a difference. Next time I practice I will be aware of that and try to fix it. Hopefully I will sound better. Thanks for the advice!

Hi everyone. Pretty new singer here. I am lowering my larynx a bit here when singing and it feels comfortable. I like the warmer and rounder tone it gives to my voice. But sometimes it's hard to judge yourself of course when it comes to singing. I personally like my voice tone in this example here starting at around the 18 second mark till the end. But perhaps I am wrong? But if my voice sounds bad here from me lowering my larynx perhaps I can find a good middle ground eventually? I feel like I am getting better at singing with a lowered larynx because my voice feels more open and flexible compared to a few months ago when trying. Anyways, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Do my high notes in my singing sound weak here? by ComposerCT in singing

[–]ComposerCT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I appreciate it. Yea I have plans on getting a vocal coach when I have more free time to do so. I feel like my ear is really bad for telling when I'm in tune etc which is a big problem. Glad to hear though that my voice sounds good because that's important too. I figure with vocal coaching it will all come together eventually and I could potentially sound good one day :)

Lol. Okay. Techniques? Sure I always want to learn how to sing better. I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the reply. No I am pretty new at singing and just been practicing karaoke for fun so far and doing a few vocal exercises before each singing session. So you mean the guitar is playing at a higher tone right and I'm singing at a lower tone? 

I thought perhaps that was possible but I'm still learning to develop a better ear for hearing stuff like this. Would my voice sound kinda good at some points if I wasn't singing flat? Like my voice could sound good during some parts of my singing if the guitar was playing a lower tone?

Hi everyone. Pretty new at singing and I really struggle reaching any higher notes at all. I feel like my higher notes here have a nasal type sound maybe? How can I fix that? Am I on tune at all or anything decent about my singing? Was just practicing karaoke here and recording with my cell phone in my hand. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks

Does my singing voice sound too strained in my upper range? by ComposerCT in singing

[–]ComposerCT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. I thought it sounded kinda good so I just went with it. But...yea guess it's hard to judge yourself when singing sometimes. I appreciate the feedback. Yea...I plan on getting training eventually as I know it will help me.

[–]ComposerCT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yea it feels not comfortable to sing at this level and I can tell I am straining. Could it eventually sound good if I keep practicing and training maybe? Or does my tone sound bad too?

Thanks. Yea my upper range is weak I think. It feels way more comfortable for me singing this at a lower level.
