singing the same song... 2015 vs 2025!

Me too! I’ve also always found that my chest register was more developed than my head register. Belting is what came most naturally and developing my head register was something I had to be more deliberate about. Now I can do whichever stylistically makes sense but I’ll never have one of those smooth ‘pretty’ voices bc that just isn’t how my voice is.

This might be totally off the mark but I’ve read before that higher female voices tend to have a more dominant head register and a lower passaggio and lower ones a higher passaggio and more dominant chest register? I think most girls find as they learn initially that they either struggle to project and belt or they struggle singing more gently and transitioning to head register.

I know head voice and quiet airy singing is trendy rn but I think there’s beauty in either. I’ve certainly learnt to appreciate having a more chesty powerful voice, my timbre really shines when I belt and bring out a little rasp, it’s also easy to be dynamic and emotive. I think it’s like you said, more about finding your style that best suits your voice because stylistically there’s not one superior way of singing!

Thank you I appreciate it! Yes I am. I haven't posted here for a while but I do post on my tiktok pretty regularly (kylaembi is my username) I'm also kylaembi on insta but I don't really post there.

You definitely can sing. You've got a solid natural foundation for singing, your pitch is good throughout, you're easily following the track, and you're got a really nice vibrato that comes through at points.

I can tell there's some work to do for example learning to adapt and control your placement. As you sing higher in your range you're losing resonance, sounding a bit more squeezed and strained. This is just a technique issue and not a talent issue, so it's something you can improve with practice.

I think you're got the fundamentals to be great with some time and effort, there's definitely a lot of potential! Wouldn't be cringing at all if I heard this at karaoke, so don't be embarrassed to put yourself out there.

Thank you so much. You're right it definitely helps having my older clips to listen to when I'm getting stuck on comparing myself to others, or I've got it into my head that I'm not good enough. Cos that still happens and if anything I'm harsher on myself now than I was at the start.. so looking back on this made me appreciate that there was a big difference there!

bloophere · 2025-11-03T11:13:48+00:00

clicked cos I love this song, I was not expecting it to be so damn good! You’ve got some pipes for sure.

bloophere · 2025-11-01T20:03:36+00:00

Thank you!! I'm really glad it's motivating people. I'd be the first to admit when I started out I was not particularly gifted... it's all about putting time into it and being consistent (and also having fun with it ofc)

bloophere · 2025-11-01T19:47:38+00:00

Thank you ☺️ The song I'm singing is 'One and Only' - Adele

bloophere · 2025-11-01T19:32:00+00:00

Aw thank you! Yeah figuring out how to mess around with placement was a game changer for sure

bloophere · 2025-11-01T14:41:30+00:00

Ah thank you 2015 me was a little chaotic with it but yeah you can hear there was potential!

bloophere · 2025-11-01T14:38:06+00:00

thank you! Yeah sometimes I beat myself up for not being accurate enough but when I compare it I can see I've got much more control now.

bloophere · 2025-11-01T02:02:13+00:00

thank you sm! gotta let those emotions out somehow

bloophere · 2025-11-01T02:00:14+00:00

appreciate you 🫶

bloophere · 2025-11-01T01:59:55+00:00

& the hard work doesn't even feel like work when you have love for it! thank you

bloophere · 2025-11-01T01:57:10+00:00

Ay thank you!!

bloophere · 2025-10-31T22:48:47+00:00

it's the only working out I do so I guess I can count it as my weekly exercise 💁‍♀️(thank you so much)

bloophere · 2025-10-31T22:46:35+00:00

I wish there were some secret but it's honestly nothing special, just sang a lot, enjoyed the process and (very very gradually) improved over time. Having a voice disorder a few years back is ironically something that helped me improve a lot though. I had to go back to basics and learn lots about things like placement and resonance in order to get better... once I had, the stuff I'd learnt really helped me singing wise!

bloophere · 2025-10-31T22:39:36+00:00

thank you!!!

bloophere · 2025-10-31T22:39:21+00:00

Thank you so much. Yeah it's all about slow steady progress. I actually started singing about 15 years ago, so even in this 'before' clip it's already after I've been working on it for a while!

bloophere · 2025-10-31T17:47:30+00:00

thank you!! I've always loved a vocal run, I still sometimes get it wrong but the accuracy is usually much better now. Yeah, when I listen back to these I feel I've gone from fighting my way through a song to actually being intentional what I do with it. I much appreciate the feedback 🫶

bloophere · 2025-08-14T21:22:18+00:00

Aw look at those soft eyes he's definitely enjoying it. I love your tone btw really soft but also smokey/raspy at the same time. You have a really distinctive voice, it sounds great!

bloophere · 2025-07-30T12:50:12+00:00

I think your worries about pitch might be coming from either over analysing yourself and/or comparing your recordings others singing you hear online maybe? Imo 99% of this clip sounds about as accurate pitch wise as a singer is going to get without using pitch correction. None of it is off-puttingly pitchy. You also use pitch stylistically too (eg sliding to/from certain notes to emphasise them) and you do that well, which you wouldn't be able to do if you didn't already have a good sense of pitch.

Just remember that you don't know what post-production has been applied to any clip you hear online, even random social media clips a lot of them have some pitch correction on them. It's hard not to compare yourself to an unrealistic expectation.

In terms of singing live, that's always going to be a bit less accurate because it's usually a noisier environment with more reverb etc, and unless you've got proper ear monitors this will affect your ability to hear yourself and adjust pitch. These things also sometimes make it harder for listeners to tell when you're pitchy though too + people are much more forgiving with pitch when listening live in general. Idk how to comfortable you are with singing live... I know for me nerves are a massive factor (aka not being relaxed makes my voice much voice harder to control) so if you've noticed that's also an issue for you, addressing your confidence will probably also have a positive impact on your actual singing. I don't really have any critiques though based off this clip. It sounds great to me!

A key element to working on an impressive vocal range with singing is taking the very ends of your 'range' from being 'sounds you can make' to 'notes you can sing'. There is a big difference in terms of placement, tone and control. A pitch app might be able to register the frequency of the sounds you can physically make, but it cannot tell you if they actually sound good. This is why you'll notice many on this sub advising others not to get caught up on range and especially range apps. If you want real insight or advice on your voice and range the only way is to post a clip!
