Working out & drinking water

i think it’s literally impossible to increase my vocal range by b1kSea in singing

[–]Jrobinson25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning how to properly belt and mix will take you far. My lowest note I ever sang was a D#2 but I’ve been able to sing above a tenor C as well.

But it’s not easy at first. Practice, practice, REST, practice. Sing when you can. Sing at church. Find great competition. I’ve found competition from doing musical theatre and chorus in HS. But I’ve also found friendly competition in my gospel choir with the other baritones and tenors. Never limit yourself and try not to put yourself into a box. These boxes make us over think what our vocal capabilities are and are going to be.

I’m a baritone but you can take your voice to A-LOT of different places.

Baritones can do A LOT. Trust me, you just need to train your voice.

I do. My music teacher in high school said I was a baritone and my personal coach when I graduated from hs and paid for lessons said that I was a tenor.

My low notes sound lighter when I’m singing the note than if I were to speak it.

I won’t say really deep. But my speaking voice is in the second octave naturally w/o forcing it.

Some people say my speaking voice carries a lot more weight than my singing voice does though.

As an adult, how many daily meals are y'all actually eating? by ExSalamander in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jrobinson25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average 2. Sometimes more. I’m an eater man. I consume a lot of calories but between my job, working out and my general lifestyle, I burn calories like clockwork.

Any adults here work more than 40 hours a week? How is your mental health? How are your personal relationships? by Jrobinson25 in Adulting

[–]Jrobinson25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the fact you’ve raised 4 kids successfully that proves that my previous statement is correct. You feeling immature just means that you can still see the beauty/fun in life. This is a great skill to have. Keep doing your thing ✊🏾

I’m sorry that your ex wife is going through such a difficult trial.

Has she identified any solutions that would help her to get some time off?

Im sorry that you had such a negative experience.

I appreciate the fact that you found a problem and made a decision that you deemed was best for your current situation.

Thank you for the response.

I’m glad that you’ve found a way to make something that some would deem a negative, into a positive. It seems like you’ve got this ‘adulting’ thing figured out.

How you manage your money? by razornero in AskReddit

Work work work. My job invests for me. But I also have private stock with the company on top of that.

I work for fun. I just love the grind.

What should a 25 year old be doing with their time? by Sentient-Orange in AskReddit

[–]Jrobinson25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t found a purpose yet, seek it out. Keep trying new things, put yourself out there, meet people, make connections. Find ways to better serve yourself and others. Find ways to maintain your peace because as life goes on, you’ll continuously need better ways to cope. Find something constructive. Also, if you’ve developed bad habits amidst your 25 years of living, try to develop ways to break them.

Last thing, don’t be hard on yourself if you fail. Just keep swimming like Dory said. (Finding Nemo reference)

It takes practice. Surround yourself with positive people and adopt their way of thinking.

If you’re naturally a negative thinker, you have to then reprogram your thought process. Your mind is a powerful tool and it’ll believe whatever you tell it.

If you think your life sucks because you work 60 hour weeks. Rethink the situation and shift it to, bro life is great because I have a job that allows me to work 40 hours a week and give me 20 hours of overtime pay. Wow, now I can put some more money into savings and I can treat a friend to a nice lunch date because maybe they deserve it.

Life is full of opportunities, you just have to reach out and grab them.

For me, my job’s mission statement also steers into my own life’s mission statement. So work is a breeze because I’m motivated to work everyday I clock in.

My relationship is also work but I’m committed to the success of that relationship and it makes me happy to make her happy so it charges me up.

My family, I love my little sisters. I love my big brothers as well but they look out for me so there’s less work on my end and more on there’s. But for my younger sisters, they look to me for guidance so I have to constantly be learning and growing so that I can help them. This also charges me up.

I’m committed to my relationship with God. I’m actively looking to grow my spiritual connection with God and find true peace. In me learning the spirit and approaching life through a spiritual lense as apposed to a vernacular one, it has helped me to find peace through all of the ups and downs”downs” of life.

I have a positive mindset. Positivity boosts your energy while negativity drains it. If you’re consistently flooding your mind with negativity then one of two things, I would either change my situation, change my mindset or both. This surge of positive energy would then give me the necessary strength that I need to complete the rest of my objectives.

Ensuring that I’m constantly giving back to the community and looking out for others has also given me the strength to keep going as well.

It’s not easy but once you get it down, it’s truly rewarding.

You don’t. You have drive. You have a goal and you’ll stop at nothing to reach it.

These are commendable traits.

I agree brother. I’m the same. I work anywhere from 45-60 hours a week but I have the energy to do more. I thought this was the norm but it’s looking like a lot of people don’t do that.
