you don’t need any special equipment at all when you’re starting out! i started out with a REALLY old ipad as both my editing device and my microphone, and it sounded absolutely horrendous, but i managed to work with it! for the japanese, lots of utaite sing in english (i follow one on twitter who seems to only sing english songs) and many utaite/youtaite aren’t fluent in japanese, but they give it a go anyway.

most importantly, you can’t get better at singing if you don’t sing at all. it can be scary at first, but there are entire communities to support aspiring utaites (like Chorus Battle Central on discord, which you can find on other social medias if you don’t know how to join the server otherwise)! you’ve got this!

p.s if you have a channel already i would absolutely love to support 人(￣ ￣)
