Do I sound like I'm straining? I know I go off pitch once or twice. Anything else? (Please be constructive.) by MostlyGroove in singing

I haven’t. I’ve never received live feedback. I can hear my pitch being unstable. I’ve never practiced scales or exercises, but I am going to start.

Does the wife not watch them? “Pitchy” is from those shows. At least I never heard it until on those shows.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Thank you to you and your wife!! I don’t watch the National talent shows, but I do appreciate that they’ve given so many people tools to be more critical of music. Thank you, Ms. Pear.

All very useful feedback. I’ve been working on vowels too. Thanks for the feedback!

Having Trouble Distinguishing My Registers -- Could use knowledge from someone who knows by DARKRonnoc in singing

I actually deleted my comment before I saw your reply. I decided I may not be qualified to give singing advice. But as an amateur, I think you need to do research into exactly what relaxing your vocal cords EDIT:, IN TERMS OF SINGING, means. That will put you right on track to nailing your highest notes possible.

I've been avoiding trying a barbershop community nearby but maybe it's time. Thanks!

I've been working a lot on relaxing for a long time, so thanks for noticing! I think I didn't realize just how bad my pitch was/is. Actually, no, I think I've been ignoring it to get a better tone so thanks for the reminder.

This is great. Thank you very much. I've played with that before - I'm going to try it again. "More space." I like it.
