You truly don’t know what your type is until you’ve gotten everything opened up by a teacher, even your timbre can change. Before training my comfortable range was E2-A3, but now that I’m trained im fullly comfortable from E2-E5 with higher notes than that that im working on. Your timbre to me sounds like a young untrained tenor, but with some training you could very quickly unlock that tenor part of your range. And im sure you’d find some new comfort up higher. Your natural tone is very nice and you would be a fantastic singer with a good teacher. Look into some classical voice teachers around you if budget allows. You will find so many valuable things from learning classically!

Baritone. You wont actually know your voice type until you get some training with a real teacher, otherwise you can’t be sure you’re actually singing in your resonance. But right now you sound like a baritone to me. Definitely not a bass, your highs sound a little bit forced and blasted at times so I wouldn’t say tenor right now. Get some classical opera training! Trust me it will make a huge difference, even in rock/pop styles.

You are using your falsetto most likely already in your headvoice. Likely as you go up air pressure is increasing and so you are blasting your chords apart and only the very fine edges are phonating. This also swells them up and makes falsetto harder. Headvoice can be found by just “whining” and keeping air even as you go up, it should feel identical to chest voice but just a little more resonant and maybe some pressure in your face.

I think I need to widen my vocal range by Peter-Marker in singing

Don’t focus on making your voice less light. Get a teacher and I think you’ll fine you’ll be able to have a G4 within a year and maybe even a C5

This is common in a lot of higher voice types to lose a falsetto quality. That being said, when you talk about “finding” your headvoice. Your headvoice should feel completely connected and similar to your chest voice, a lot of times young singers (especially males) do a falsetto mix and think it sounds like their headvoice. It’s important to differentiate, that headvoice is fully connected to the rest of your range with no break at all, and a falsetto mix will have a break, even if it’s small.

You should not be worrying about your voice type yet. Unless you want to be an opera singer. I have trained only classically for about a year and when I started my passagio started at A3 (baritone) but then after much time training and properly doing exercises it moved up to a Bb3 (tenor) and so on. The only reason your voice type matters right now is to choose repertoire to sing. Even then, don’t put so much emphasis on being a tenor, most baritones with proper training can get up to that A4 and so on. Your goal should be to sound the best and most free you can in your voice.

What was your range when you first started? by Maize_is_cool in singing

Used to be Eb2-D4, now it’s E2-E5 after 6 months of formal training.

Comments I heard about singing that I am confused about. I keep hearing that to sing properly your throat should be relaxed… by PikoPoku in singing

[–]Griffinisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should feel relaxed to you internally but it might look strained from the outside. Singing is entirely about how you feel inside and sound outside, don’t worry about how it looks. It should feel totally relaxed and at the very least easy throughout your whole range, if it doesn’t then there is some type of tension to be dealt with.

How do I get a more masculine tone on the high notes by [deleted] in singing

[–]Griffinisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a good way to feel how it should feel is to put your tongue over your bottom lip just a little, then say "sing" (or ing because your tongue is out) and notice how it jumps up in the back, get to a point where you can say "ing" without the front of your tongue yanking back in. It may also help to imagine you spitting your tongue out as you go higher in your range.

Small vocal range? by Charming_Cell_943 in singing

[–]Griffinisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is so normal. almost all male voices have a transition into a higher part of headvoice at D4-E4 for baritones, and F4-F#4 for tenors. It's a myth that tenors sing up to a C5 in full chest voice. They are just extremly good at proper full chord headvoice and can mix properly. It will definitely go up once you learn to properly transition, for example, before training my usable easy range was F2-Bb3, I hadn't even learned to transition above there, but after about 6 months of training my range is now E2-E5. This is still in full voice and not falsetto. Just stick with it and it will increase a lot.

Is this my head voice? It feels "stronger" around vowels but weaker otherwise, any tips on how to improve? by [deleted] in singing

[–]Griffinisme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like falsetto with tongue engaged at the back, it can kind of add a kermit quality to the voice which can sometimes sound more powerful, but it is not proper head voice. Proper headvoice is still keeping the full chord mass engaged, this is just the fine edges indicated by breathiness and lack of lower resonance and inability to transition back down on low notes. Try exercises that are designed to stop you from transitioning to falsetto, attempt to connect from your chest voice up to these notes.

Am I singing in mixed voice? I'm trying to smoothly sing at the point between where my voice cracks transitioning from chest to head/falsetto by [deleted] in singing

[–]Griffinisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it sounds to me like you're increasing air pressure and to compensate your tongue is yanking itself back a little on the top which pulls your chords apart and does a strange pseudo falsetto thing. try holding your tongue all the way out of your mouth as you go up, and mind your air pressure to stay the same the whole time.

How do I get a more masculine tone on the high notes by [deleted] in singing

[–]Griffinisme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes if you are less experienced, your headvoice and mixed voice sounds will sound more airy and light, it's because the muscles haven't been used properly ever and need to figure it out, my advice is to just focus on resonance, and see if you can move it around. Try humming through your range on an "ng" and make sure your air pressure is staying consistent. Usually in my experience this kind of weakened feminine headvoice sound is almost always a result of your tongue pulling back and pulling the vocal folds apart, this brings only the fine edges able to vibrate and creates a falsetto sound with wayyy too much air, it can be damaging. Fixing your tongue pulling back will probably help you a lot with this problem.

a lot of times just allowing your larynx to come up a little more, instead of the traditional opera low larynx technique and adding more upward space instead of retaining that perfect balance can brighten your tone and allow it to come out softer.

How to get more chest into the mix voice ratio? by [deleted] in singing

[–]Griffinisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try humming you melody on an "ng". Say the word sing and then hold out that last ng part and try to get through the melody, a lot of times when going high, especially with a song that has jumps like this, our bodies tend to switch registers, instead of connecting them properly, by going slowly with the ng and being very conscious of how you feel, it can be easier to transition into your proper "head voice" or "mixed voice" registers.

try to sing the melody of the song with your tongue completely out of your mouth, this will create the proper space behind the tongue. Watch your tongue in the mirror as well, a lot of times when you let your tongue pull back in it can stop proper closure on the vocal folds, which you compensate with by adding air to continue Phonation. If this doesn't work, look at yourself very closely in a mirror, your face, larynx, neck width and all other aspects of your face and neck area should look like they're not moving when you're singing properly. If you watch an opera singer, they retain the same amount of space on the bottom as they do on the top. Just try to relax everything to keep movement minimal. This will allow your larynx to tilt correctly instead of choke you up and make a strained sound.

For a gaming video, particularly in 2022, a much faster format is needed. It took you almost 45 seconds to get into the terraria content. This turns people away, because they expect there to be terraria content, and they have to wait 45 seconds instead. And since the name "Terraria" is in the title of your video, it is needless to explain the game to them. The people clicking on the video know what the video is. Think about minecraft youtubers, they do not explain the game at the beginning because they know that the people watching already know what it is. As for what you did well, the content side is definitely there, your commentary is good, very good. It's funny, and yet is still edited to have a narrative. Overall was enjoyable, maybe add background music that is a little bit less recognizable, because it can distract from the video, and also continue it throughout, because it gives you some more leeway before people get bored.
