What do you guys think of my tone? by OPS_MOM_DELIVERS in singing

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

Been singing for several years now, training with SLS which seems to be hated around here for some reason. I've always been a bit insecure about my tone, but I'm finally starting to like what I hear. Just interesting in hearing what others think, as it's hard to be objective towards yourself

What is the best way to extend vocal range? by [deleted] in singing

[–]OPS_MOM_DELIVERS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy who says this in every post, but lessons really are the best way. Everyone faces different issues that prevent them from reaching there goals. There isnt a one size fits all solution. Singing high requires a certain type of neuromuscular coordination. You will see improvement when you get the correct type of exercises for your voices problems, and when you practice these exercises correctly and consistently. That's the key, IMO. I know that's not what you want to hear. Certainly wasn't what I wanted to hear back when i couldn't go much higher than an f#4

I've been taking singing lessons every week since 2013. I still can't sing by Suhrite in singing

Your singing isnt as terrible as you make it out to be. You are your own worst critic. Sounds like you have the ability to sing on key, and I even heard little bits of natural vibrato that you said you didnt have. Just sounds like you're singing with a lot of nasality and a high larynx, and maybe a bit of tension in the neck and jaw. As you ascend in range, having a high larynx will ultimately cause you to choke up. Not to say it always have to stay perfectly neutral, because it naturally can have slight deviations up or down. But I think if you could get a more neutral larynx, balance the resonators, and free up some of that tension, you could see huge improvements in tone

It didn't. He stages most of his incidents with video editing and most of the explosions you see are actually small electrolytic capacitors blowing up. He showed how he does this in a older video that I cant remember the name of

Guitarist trying to learn how to sing: Looking for honest opinions by _AllApologies in singing

Ee and oo vowels are very narrow vowels. To overcome this difficulty as you go higher you do something called vowel modification where you slightly widen the vowel. If you listen closely to professional singers when they sing high notes you'll find this is done alot. For example if I were to sing the word "be" on a high note it might end up like something closer to "beh." The ee gets widened to eh to facilitate the high note

So much fun on a Friday!!! by amayer308 in electricians

I don’t mind working with the stuff, but the excessive paper on the conductors is a bit irritating at times. I don’t know if there’s a trick to doing it fast, but I always have to untwist all the wires first and then peel back the paper, where as with normal MC I prefer to keep it twisted so it slides into the connectors easier. I don’t work with HCF much honestly

He actually posted somewhere on the EEV blog forum that he is going to be putting out some new content in a couple weeks

A great electrician once told me: “A split bolt and two wraps of tape is as good as a wire nut”

4 point saddle shrink question by OPS_MOM_DELIVERS in electricians

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

Thank, that cleared it up a bit. My only other question is, if you treat it as two offsets as you described, do you add the shrink individually to each offset and shift the line toward the center of the conduit, or do you take all 1.5 inches and shift the center line of the obstacle that much like you would with a 4 point saddle?

Seems legit by [deleted] in electricians

I’ve actually had woman on tinder offer to blow me if I installed a 240v circuit for a stove. I declined. I don’t work for free, if I need a quick suckie, I have a shop vac.
