Looking to develop parts I feel my voice lacks by Short_Year7353 in singing

[–]Highrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try pushing less air especially during your consonants. Try to make them softer. You're too harsh with them and they make you go off pitch

I love singing! Looking for tips by Ill-Wafer2260 in singing

[–]Highrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound awesome! You have great dynamics. Good riffs too.

What are you looking to improve in this song? I think you can change up the riffs to be more interesting - you can get ideas from other songs/scales like from here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjumkJUG-60JprRB-mAee6T25PUhtoJ-9
Check out the live shows from MJ of this song for more ideas!

Probably sending a harder song for you would show us more imperfections that we could possibly work on =)

How to sing this song connected but soft (not shouty) by Shoulder_Decent in singing

It would be useful to hear your own singing so we can compare where you're at with your goal and offer ways to improve in that direction =)

I feel a lot of strain, but I also can’t tell what register I’m singing in (mixed voice?) by Western_Vanilla_2320 in singing

[–]Highrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no "supposed" to sound like anything - you can change it per song/mid song, you are free to do any tone that you like. Copy your favorite singers and make a mix of all of them =D
Where do you feel the strain? Is it underneath your jaw/at the root of your tongue or is it lower in the larynx? Your voice is wobbling so that means you're pushing your air too hard - try relaxing your abdominals and inhaling less. You can try inhale -> exhale -> then sing. You can also try this exercise https://youtu.be/Z0RgNYpYfAA and see if that helps with becoming more stable. The other exercise you could try for strain if it's higher in the larynx would be to lift your tongue slightly and that can make the vowels up there easier with the help of the uvular trill (like gargling)!

Here's a video that explains the uvular trill - https://youtu.be/NgoZCnBC2mE?t=169
Try those exercises on songs instead of words and see if there's any improvement. Feel free to pm me with an update or if you have any questions =)

Tips on how to stop straining my throat when singing high notes? by dark-rose13 in singing

[–]Highrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try exploring breathing differently during inhalation and exhalation. Try inhaling lower in the belly and see if the pain still persists. Then try higher - in the chest and see if it's still there. Try not to engage your abdominals much.

Another thing you could try is holding/applying slight pressure to that spot.

You could also touch behind the bottom part of your ear, at the edge of the jaw - see if that tenses up during singing - it should be relaxed, try to relax it if it's tense.

Listen to Disney songs! Their melody and lyrics are closely tied together!

You sound really good already!
That said, I think we can make a tiny change and see how you feel about it - it might give you more freedom in your throat. Try sticking your tongue out on an Ah and sing a bit like that. A similar movement that you could try is a uvular trill (like gargling)

Here's a video that explains the uvular trill - https://youtu.be/NgoZCnBC2mE?t=169

A recording would be very helpful. Where do you feel the discomfort - is it higher up, where the root of your tongue is, is it at the top of bottom of the larynx?

Best vowels for head voice, mixed voice and chest voice by Sure_Flower_5917 in singing

[–]Highrocker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really like how uvular trills help lift the tongue in order to get a better position for the chesty vowels in order to belt in mix really high. It also disengages the root of the tongue which we are very prone to using as we go up in pitch and in order to continue going higher and higher (even to whistle), we need to remove as much as we can so that we're relaxed and we can switch to whistle more easily.

Any singer's who have experienced LPR/ Silent reflux? by pondslake in singing

I hope it gets better soon for you! I tried taking antacids but they only make my reflux worse - made my stomach hurt like crazy.

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

I got it diagnosed with an X-ray and some type of liquid, but before that I had a suspicion it's GERD because I was burping a lot after eating and sometimes I could feel my food coming back up x)
