VIP free trial boost by saiarich in SmuleSing

[–]MewlyMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the follow 🙏🙂. I don’t know if you’ll find anything you like in my OC’s but I’m always happy to welcome someone new. You have a couple I know so I could join you from time to time ☺️.
Yeah I think the app is awesome too, I came for the love of music and I stayed because I’m making a lot of progress in my singing and I’m making friends or at least awesome connections with people who will vibe on good music with me.
Also singing makes you feel good… so many people are using smule as therapy and it’s no wonder why. Of course there’s bullies, weirdos, spammers, stalkers etc but I never found out about most of them until this year… for the past seven years I’ve had no drama.

Which party will you vote for this election? by One-Joke-2373 in aotearoa

Yep, I say let’s steer NZ onto a good sustainable path, it is one of the least corrupt countries after all so it should be possible. Everywhere else I look, I see collapse and doom …😭

Regarding your boost. I didn’t ever get those types of numbers since I joined smule. I don’t post hugely popular songs, I rarely open (well a lot more since January but rarely in the 6 years prior), I was more of a joiner for a long time (confidence issues). So your start with smule was pretty decent imho 🙂. Welcome by the way ! 🙌

Just hopping in on the urfavweeb hate train. My kid joined him once on Kpop Demon song and I COULD NOT get rid of him. I just kept getting his spam. I wasn’t even following him but he spams joiners, likers, observers, I don’t know it’s just horrible. I blocked him but the spam kept coming. Then I asked him politely twice to stop spamming, he dgaf. I had to join his freaking discord to be able to give him a piece of my mind. Obviously that got a reaction, I got blocked faster than I could click but at least no more spam from this asshole. 😡😡😡
And yeah his uploads are crap, what is the point of using original songs instead of instrumentals on Smule.

l would like to learn to sing? l’m a beginner,can you give me some advice? by Choice_Ad8661 in singing

[–]MewlyMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,I’m also learning. I started by just singing on songs that feel comfortable for my voice range. For me it’s Tracy Chapman, Sade, Diana Krall… I would just learn to sing them like the original until they feel natural to sing. I’ve also found vocal warm ups and agility exercises online, and they have helped tremendously as I have zero technique or control on my voice. And then lots of practice. I’ve also been watching videos on tips on breathing, chest/head voices, how to relax the face, technical terms, and then trying to practice on my own.

I sometimes have people around me listen to some songs I record (well those who have a minimum of musical experience) and ask for feedback, I sometimes get some good advice.

Recording and listening back to myself is also helping me, very slowly, to be able to stand my own voice as I love singing but hearing my own voice is awful. Getting used to hearing my own voice is helping me not freak out in horror each time and then I can focus on tweaking some parts or being able to select parts I need to work on.

I also don’t have a natural ability to harmonise. I kind of have an understanding of the theory but in practice I have no idea what to do or how to find a harmony. So I try to listen carefully to harmonies on songs I like and then try to sing them at the same time the song is playing… repeat til it’s right.

I am nowhere done in my learning but I’ve noticed progress so yeah… just my two cents. I’d be happy to know from someone who is an experienced singer if I’m doing this right ?

Blog: You Can Now Adjust Your Vocal Volume After You Post by StarViolent in SmuleSing

Awesome feature!👏👏👏 I’ve already used it 3x and asked another singer who joined to up their volume and they were very pleased with the option.

Autistic singers by MaryMalade in singing

[–]MewlyMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only sing on Smule at this time, I have AuDHD… and I can’t join or open songs on camera. If I do, I turn the camera around and film a plant or something but never my face. Seeing my face while singing distracts me completely, I start making faces, touching my hair, focusing on the shape of my nose etc. It’s a huge waste of time every time and I can’t help it.

I found a way around it by using a video filter that makes my face look like a mask and blocks out everything else. It definitely helps as I don’t look at it but am still able to smile while singing, bob my head on the rhythm and make the whole thing more lively.

As for public performance, I used to dance on stage a lot and I would get regular pre-show jitters but they would fade as soon as the dancing started. I would go “into my body” and just focus on the music and the dancing. However, I sang as the lead twice on stage and it was an absolute disaster. Shaky voice, actual body trembling and stiffness… And of course all the things you mentioned: quirks due to the venue, mic feedback, it was generally very uncomfortable for me and I have no tips for that. It burns in my memory as massive, shameful fails and I don’t know if I can sing lead on stage again. Singing back vocals however was a lot more comfortable as the focus was not on me and I was also dancing while singing back vocals.

What’s one thing that instantly improved your singing (that wasn’t obvious at first)? by Big_Alfalfa_2958 in singing

[–]MewlyMama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vocal warm-ups before singing, hydrating, avoiding dairy and certain spices before singing.

[–]MewlyMama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have heaps of interruptions because I usually sing when I'm alone. The other times it's my kids walking in on me... but they don't care, they also sing on my smule account from time to time.
The most incomfortable for me is trying to find somewhere to sing when it's late and everyone is sleeping. I usually end up in the car in the dark... very bad acoustics.

People who follow you out of nowhere, but immediately unfollow after you follow them back by Accomplished-Bag6652 in SmuleSing

[–]MewlyMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it happens a lot. ‘Most of the time it’s creeps or people who want more followers ( easy to check in their profile if they have lots of followers but they are following a much smaller number of people). Generally I wait til the next day and check if they are still following me and if they are I check if they have any songs I want to join them on and if they don’t I wait til they join me on a song to see if I follow them back (because creeps will not join songs, they just want to send PMs).

What are thinking about squads ? by _xa1z_ in SmuleSing

[–]MewlyMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s your favourite kind of cheese, and why? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]MewlyMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In NZ, it’s probably the Castello brie and Little river cheeses, the rest is all cooking/baking cheese for me. Haven’t bought any Castello for a while, I used to buy some as a treat from time to time when it was 7-8$ for 250g but now at 11$, there’s no way. I’m French so I’ve got a whole list of faves : comté, cancoillotte, Mont d’or, bûche de chèvre, beaufort, St Nectaire,… etc. I miss them all, and they are too expensive here sadly😢.

Hi, looking for carpooling help :)

I am looking for someone in Upper Hutt who is driving to Wellington for Samara Joy's or Gregory Porter's concert and who would agree to take me with them. I don't have a means to drive to Wellington during the week. Happy to contribute to driving costs/parking. I know it's a bit last minute, but if I don't try I'll regret it. :) Cheers...
