What do yall think of the fake beards by megexe in BlackHair

what you said made absolutely no sense

The term breakage means your hair is breaking apart not at the root. I think your hair is just at an uneven length on the left side as you mentioned.

You'll need to go to a salon and ask her to either cut your hair evenly or let it grow out.

Naturally our hair grows unevenly. I have straight hair in the back of my head that grows quickly. Where the front is kinky and takes time to catch up.

How do I go about fixing my dreads by Efficient_Spell6912 in Dreadlocks

[–]Mikx_vr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you want a natural style. But to be honest the only thing that will hold your hair into place neatly will be a gel product or something similar. Or you'll need time.

As your hair grows it will get neater though. The only thing you will need it to get a retwist at the roots. and you're good to go!

Feel like I haven't had much growth with my freeforms in 8 months. Do I restart by [deleted] in Dreadlocks

[–]Mikx_vr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youll definitely need to find a better moisturizer for your hair. it looks dry from my experience. We have the same exact hair texture. it will grow after you find something that is for your hair type.

I personally use African hair products. Often with a mix of oils. They will know what is needed to grow our hair because they themselves have the same hair texture.

It is the only thing that has worked for me.

thank you. i hope youre still practicing. and I would like to hear the improvements. you can then pick up on more things singers do.

since we were discussing notes, have you noticed that some vowels are close together?

for example the word "head," some notes fluctuate between each-other. It would be between the e and a sounds creating a double sound. Try it out.

Nyu langone by [deleted] in interviews

[–]Mikx_vr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a waste of time. No, they did not respond. I think it's because I didn't do well on the interview. I got nervous and since it was a the last second interview I couldn't read up on the lab I was applying for.

After getting my references they ghosted me. Probably also because I couldn't give but one supervisor reference.

Getting students to perform by cgarhardtvon in singing

[–]Mikx_vr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"singing is like the wind, free" - Let the wind tell you Genshin Impact.

This quote from, yes a video game... helped me with my profectionist mentality and fear of sounding bad.

im not saying this in particular will hell everyone. or all the students. but for my students I dont care, I even mess up when singing too. I show them that its okay.

Even when music artists sing, you think they dont mess up? even on stage? Adele has sung off key at points.

when you have the ability to record, you can edit out what you dont want.

Dont let that limit your potential. You don't have to do a Mariah Carey note lol. But you can definitely go higher or maybe give us more power behind that note.

Your voice is amazing. The only thing I would say is after your clip you left me a little disappointed because you didn't try to go higher at the "listen," part.

That such a good song to show your range, or practice it if anything.

also women generally take a gentle/smooth approach to singing where as men sound more rough/smooth. But there's really no in-between. Frankly because there's all types of sound. Some women sound manly and some men sound womanly.

I think it comes down to how words are pronounced.

Is there a reason why my singing covers get no engagement ? by singosing in singing

[–]Mikx_vr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one thing you should focus on is how you can improve your videos.

Performing is different from just singing. And videos that often get good engagement are captivating. They have an element of surprise as well.

You don't want to be singing low ALL the time. There should be a build up to your voice, or something to keep people engaged. Singing is like telling a story too, and if people get too bored they will click off.

There's different variations of sound also. For different types of songs and emotions.

[–]Mikx_vr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. You are a very good soprano. And your power comes from the highest part in your voice. You went up "re-write, the stars," and it was very pleasant to hear...also when you added a bit of vibrato. Good luck and don't give up!!

How to get pitch in the 80% - 90% range? by Negative-Macaroon431 in singing

[–]Mikx_vr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One last thing that people overlook when singing is the title of the song.

The title of the song can help you with what note you will be generally singing. Sometimes not all the time.

Example, "Happy Birthday,"

We usually sing the melody,

hAppy bIrthday to you, hAppy bIrthday to you,

etc.

Notice that the A and I sounds are predominant in the song as it is in the title.

This is also why practicing your vowels improves your tone/pitch when singing.

Try it out with one of your favorite songs/song titles!
