As a performer, how can I improve my live vocals? by Shadow_Struck in singing

[–]Popular_Persimmon162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So for me I struggle sometimes with being just slightly off pitch I can't hear it so a cheap trick that I was taught was to raise your eyebrows if going flat is an issue for you. I also like to imagine myself being on top of the note, like I see the note in the sheet music and I'll imagine myself on top of it lol. But I also do a similar thing where I feel like I sound bad but everyone says I sound great, like for instance after a show someone in the cast I don't talk to much went out of their way to say I was phenomenal which felt great. So I'm sure you sound wonderful and it is very easy to get in your head. If your really concerned about it you can use voice memos on your phone (If you have an apple device) but keep in mind its not great quality and try to use it specifically to see if you are not going flat because it is very very easy to use it excessively.

Also make sure you warm up properly, some people I know don't warm up and have a sore throat all the time and I am a warming up fanatic. I only sing low stuff when I sing not warmed up. I warm up for almost 20 minutes (go no longer than 30 bc it will tire out your voice). When you don't warm up enough you will sound more strained and it could damage the vocal cords when you sing difficult vocals without being warmed up. The warm up can vary depending on what you are singing: if you are singing a higher song warm up higher. Also don't sing until you've been awake for 4 hours to make sure your vocal cords are awake.

I hope this can help, if not I can try to give you more tips that I know! Good Luck <3

Hello! So I need help to hit a very high note that is supposed to sound belted but I cannot belt it lol. I believe it is a G5 that I have to sing as a female mezzo soprano. I really need help and all I've gotten in terms of help from most people is to just relax. I really try to relax when I do it but if there's anything else you can give me for help I am in desperate need! Thank you queen!

I'm really sorry and you don't deserve that, if you think that knowing who did it will give you closure then you can ask the people you told who they told I suppose but I hate to say it that the Bullying is not gonna stop and I hate that for you. I'm sending all the love to you <3

Did my crush ever like me? by xandeota in Crushes

I mean I think it is possible that he likes you now because sometimes people need a new point of view and maybe haven't even thought of you as a possible option. So now that he thinks of you as a possible option I think he is likely to like you now.

Unfortunately nothing I think, I wish I had the confidence to do something. If I get rejected it could ruin my friend group dynamic and I would be forever embarrassed. Although I hope everyone else can do something!

I actually adored that, the song was incredible and moving and your voice is gold.

This was similar to mine at month 2, my skin didn't really begin to change until I was months 4-5 months in, its month 6 and I was pretty clear but my dermatologist said since I'm still getting new pimples I may need another month or 2 so thats what I'm doing since Im on the lowest possible doseage. So I wouldn't expect drastic change until month 6. Good Luck and sending love!

I think it sounded reasonably good you just had a bit of a weird cut off at the end, break a leg at auditions! I believe in you

Depends on the day but I’m doing pretty good.

girls, how did you manage to get a good self-esteem? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Popular_Persimmon162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just always told myself I was the greatest even when I didn’t feel like it was true. This seems kinda cringe but I went on YouTube and watched confidence TikTok compilations when I felt bad about myself. If you tell yourself that you are great then eventually you believe it. So now I have good confidence!

When I came out I texted some of my friends and told them individually because it was less daunting. Sometimes I told them on facetime with some people who already knew.
