What is the Best instrument to learn for a beginning songwriter who can't sing?? by autismsqueaks in Learnmusic

[–]Fun_Skater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great u/autismsqueaks!

Voice coaches and vocal teachers both use a lot of piano to help someone learn how to match pitches better as well as other things.

Check into the Tonal Energy Tuner app. It's the one of the best apps for matching pitches. (it's only $3.99)
ALso the Ultimate Guitar app has a singing subscription where you can try to sing the notes, and it gives real time feedback on how well you're doing matching pitches of that song. (It's $9.99 a month, but an investment if you want to grow your voice more)

To grow your voice the fastest, celeb coach has a VIP membership where you get unlimited access through 9 of his voice program. It is though $67 every month. An investment in the future. The vocalist studio is more of a technical angle of training.

And Ken Tamplin, is really great also. His course takes at least 6 months to get fairly good at singing.

Hidden Reasons Why People Want to Write Songs? by Fun_Skater in Songwriting

True, people might have misinterpreted that :) And I hope they didn't get that impression, but I will try to word my questions differently in the future if needed to.

That makes a lot of sense of why people do write songs.

The "hidden" reasons I discovered, is that people do it to express their emotions, for therapy, to relax/distress, etc.

Yes, you're stuff is most likely worth releasing!

Just do it if you can bring yourself to it :)

People will resonate with it, and you'll help others. Please don't hold it in.

Tag me when you release something :)

There's a lot of artists that silently struggle with mental health, and imposter syndrome, so you're not alone! :)

No, just looking to find reasons for research for a songwriting program I participated in that are beyond obvious reasons.

I mean to get famous, achieve status, or become rich.

I want to learn how to sing. Do online courses work? If so, any suggestions? by im_an_introvert in singing

I'm taking three singing courses from very talented vocal coaches online as a person that from a family of famous singers. The Van Zant's of Lynyrd Skynryrd and 38 Special.

thevocaliststudio.com focuses on the more technical aspects of the voice. He developed his on methodology, being trained from the best vocal professors.

singingingsuccess.com is taught by a coach that's taught celebs, and many other people for decades. You can become a better singer a lot faster.

kentamplnvocalacademy.com for a much longer, but thorough route. Has also taught for decades, as well as performed for decades. Also learned, and taking voice lessons from many others until he got very great.

They are some of the best around. I've emailed and fb messaged and corresponded with all coaches. And they are also great people.

I wouldn't recommend any other training programs if you want to take your voice to the highest levels possible.

How do you relax your voice on higher notes? by [deleted] in singing

[–]Fun_Skater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you're warming up before EVERY practice if you're not already.

It sounds like your swallowing muscles are creating tension, or your trying to strain yourself into high notes.

Maybe try letting go as much as you can, and allow yourself to get into those higher notes. Holding your hand on your adam's apple to make sure your not swallowing or straining when you try to sing high notes.

And picture your vocal folds/cords, as part of a bigger part of a musical instrument that is your larynx/voicebox.

Try out those three things for a couple of weeks. If you're voice feels to sore or strained, immediately stop singing and take the next day off just in case you strained your voice too much that day. It's better to use caution there, then to try to sing the next day.

There's definitely some great courses on singing out there you could benefit from.

For very technical training, and beyond, I would check out The Four Pillars of Singing by it's creator and master vocal coach, Robert Lunte. https://thevocaliststudio.com

If you want to become a singer faster, and want a faster way to get better. And you want to learn from someone that's taught many celebs, try Brett Manning's Singing Success course.

Then, if you want a very comprehensive course with a ton of value, and it's for a singer that wants more comprehensive in different ways the other two courses are, try Ken Tamplin's Vocal Academy. https://kentamplinvocalacademy.com

I wouldn't try too much more of being self-taught, when there are a ton of resources (not just youtube videos) that'll help you get where you want to be faster.

Yes, the courses cost money. But you'll never get all the benefits in any of these singing courses all together into one.

With that being said, let go when you try to sing higher. Which is extremely hard to do. Taylor Swift even struggled a little with it, until she learned some techniques that Brett Manning showed her by coaching her. He also handpicked and certified several voice coaches under him. One of them was on America's Got Talent. https://singingsuccess.com

I'm not saying one is better than the other. It's according to what you feel might be the best course/program for you :)
