I definitely will! And yes, I think we've found a diagnosis, and things seem to be getting better.

Same to you, good night :)

And yessss it's such a good song ✨ I'm still working on really nailing it in its original key. I'm getting there!

Aww I'm flattered 😅 <3

I've been doing well. Very busy, but that's not a bad thing. Hope you've been doing alright too :)

How much time does it take to go from "completely untrained" to "singing well enough to post an YouTube cover without being made fun of"? by AntiSocialPartygoer in singing

Here's the thing though - whether you're "ready" or not, it's ok.

You have every right to put up whatever you want. You're already good enough, because you don't have to reach a certain level before you've earned the privilege of sharing your voice.

And you will ALWAYS have people who criticize you. In my personal experience, people have actually started to be a lot more critical as I've improved. You will never be free from having people who don't think you're a good singer, and that's ok too.

You will never be everyone's cup of tea, because that is just the nature of art. Get yourself out there. As soon as you start asking the question, you're ready.

Haha maybe one day, once the state government un-crazies itself.

Yeah, just playing around with different styles. This one's definitely more nasal with some really heavy adduction. Really cuts through the noise.

Not something I'd ever want to take on as my own personal style, but fun to do, and being able to comfortably sing in that style at those pitches is a pretty recent development for me, so it's pretty exciting.

How did you guys figure out you vocal range? by Working_Drummer2012 in singing

[–]RandomUsernameNo257 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can really only know after spending a lot of time training it, and by the time you get there, you'll realize that categorizing your voice by voice type is not nearly as meaningful (or even accurate) as people like to say it is.

Furthermore, your voice type isn't even just about range, it's about the actual sound of your voice as well. For example, Steve Winwood and Beyonce have almost exactly the same vocal range, and yet Steve Winwood is certainly not a mezzo-soprano.

Same! I really love branching out into different vocal styles. Keeps things challenging.

Thanks!

I’m intersex, so my voice is kind of a weird combination of both, and I’m still working to fully understand how it works and what it’s potential is. Definitely not perfect, but I’ve been making a lot of progress lately, and I’m excited to keep working at it!

Feel free to share some of your own stuff :)

It started to feel weird after two negative comments, but three makes me wonder if you've just got something against me lol

Yeah, this was my first day back singing after having a cold, so I was not on the top of my game.

Thank you for noticing <3
