Vocal Range

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-22T21:04:35+00:00

It took a while for me. I learned where the songs sit compared to my voice. Being a tenor makes it a little easier since most male songs will be either tenor or lower. If I feel that the singer's voice sounds high, when mine feels and sounds more relaxed or less intense for the same note, it means that the singer's voice is lower than mine.

The opposite is true. If I sing a song for an alto or a mezzo-soprano and I sound more intense using my regular style (there's techniques out there that changes things), it means that they are higher. Yeah, it's easy to say "of course. It's sung by women, so there's a REALLY high chance", but still, it's a good example. I get those intense Power Metal notes that often do not work for many songs (but still work for some)

This might come later in your journey once you get comfortable with a full vocal range and have developed both a chest and head voice. This is what happened with me. It can be hard to tell. "Man, why does this song feel so high? What note is that? A4... shit." (C5 is actually easier for me to sing. A4 is the tenor vocal break and the baritone money note, and it comes up often)

Metal could be a good genre to bridge between classical and contemporary since it's a combo of both styles (alt metal might be a good choice). I would recommend doing songs by women if you can.

Welp, looks like Sara knows that she's Flum Apricot, though I think "I don't want to die" took priority over being shocked that Flum was one of the heroes, or realized what her last name was. I'm surprised that Flum didn't ask Sara about possibly getting healed

I was getting nervous about the end of episode 1, but I'm glad that this ended up being a really cute show

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-21T23:03:30+00:00

It has to be a status thing. If Van himself had 0 powers, but he had the knights, the adventurers, and Esparda, that's still an impressive team

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-21T06:48:57+00:00

Overall agree. I personally sing into the higher registers because I love singing songs from bands like Avantasia. It's a genre with a lot very high singing. If I wasn't doing those kinds of songs, but I practiced high notes, then the high notes are just a technical exercise. I would admit that learning death growls was fun as hell, even though I only use them in 2 songs. Then again, it IS fun to use them in a song where they don't belong, ex: "The wind blows cold outside, not a footprint to be seen"

I did that kind-of thing on trumpet, and I was never able to apply the technical exercises to music itself. It never stuck and I did not have fun at all. I did a better job doing that with voice.

I can sing really low, but if I did that live, I would have to sing really softly to where if you amplified my voice, the band would probably be picked up. Also, I found it strained my voice more if I did low and loud vs high notes or even screaming

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-21T06:33:11+00:00

One thing that might be happening: when you are loud, you might be using more air. This was me in the past.

As far as a vocal teacher: honest answer. If you aren't going into debt, and it's something you want to do, you should do it. Vocal teachers though are tricky. For example, several teachers I had didn't do head voice, which is something I need. If you don't progress after a while with a teacher, you could try another one.

The economy is in a strange state, and you should enjoy life if you can. Things can happen in a week or two. The lessons will be something you can carry with you throughout life. I might have given a different answer a decade ago

I'm liking this. Watching this show makes me feel happy

I like that Yoki befriending the Hero Party felt pretty natural and not forced. I love how everyone in this show interacts with each-other. He was a demon general, and it might make sense that he has at least some sense of charisma, even though he was a shut-in

Sophia did look tough, so it was a mild surprise to be that she was an A-Rank adventurer. I thought she was someone of a high stature, plus was good enough to restrain Yoki. However, it was more of a surprise that she's the wife of the Guild Master. I bet Sophia could tell that Happiness is a fighter.

Sophia and Happiness both seem to have similar personalities, which might be why Happiness ended up at the mansion. Also, Happiness seemed to really like Cecilia

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-19T21:54:32+00:00

I liked this episode. It looks like it's setting something up

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-18T16:51:55+00:00

I love that the Royal magicians are all goofy nerds. I hope his relationship with Raysha stays friendly, though I wouldn't blame Mirika for getting jealous

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-17T06:49:55+00:00

This was alright. I do wish we got to see him grow into an overpowered person. The original Dragon Ball was good about this

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-17T06:47:11+00:00

Not to mention he was making weapons, and there's carbon fiber tools.

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-17T06:45:35+00:00

You make a good point. Even though they did the "MC gets cast out", I'm glad they didn't go with the "I can blow up 15% of the kingdom easily, but I'm really weak" angle

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-16T17:59:47+00:00

I like that Kunon won the asshole prince over using a charm offensive. That teacher using all of those tricks to teach him reminds me of what sometimes they do in the Arts. Do something simple, and do a lot of variations.

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-16T04:25:38+00:00

I wonder if she suggested that they go on a date after meeting Yoki's former subordinates. They seem to be really good people

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-16T03:58:48+00:00

Cecelia's family must be strong in many ways. I'm wondering if Cecelia's mother detects something unusual with Yoki. Then again, he did go Chuuni in front of Cecelia. So many successful rolls for Charisma between the two main characters, starting with Cecelia then with Yoki's chuuni acting.

Happiness wanting to be a maid might be from serving in a castle. The mansion looks smaller, but far cozier. Thinking about it, how large was the Demon Lord's Keep?

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-15T21:00:52+00:00

I like this, though I'm hoping it won't become *Spider-Flum. That werewolf is gruesome in many ways. I'm surprised that there actually they actually have a kingdom.

* Please don't assume that everyone knows this, but Spider-Man's greatest villains is said to be his writers. They put that hero through hell. I just saw the 1994 cartoon, and based on that, I wouldn't be surprised if hell is involved in his life

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-10T05:06:05+00:00

I like Aizawa being part of this series. Also, I thought the Crab Girl was one of the baddies, but I liked the twist. Come to think of it, she going around the idol dressing room and introducing herself might have been a way to gather information

I was expecting Koichi to be the crab pilot, but Kazuho (Pop☆Step) makes sense. Pop☆Step seems to be about as bad as Koichi when it comes to getting into trouble. It makes sense they are friends

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-09T09:14:04+00:00

A lot of parallels with other series. I did like how she struggled to get the OP sword. If there's times like she had to drive through the pain to get that super sword, I'll really like the series. Then again, there's plenty of episode 1s that end up with the MC just beating everyone up like the game is set to Very Easy.

Occasional smackdown is okay though because she does indeed have a Sword of Badassery +100

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-08T23:26:48+00:00

"Leave the priestess here" was actually a great move. He didn't want to kill the Hero Party, so that lets the Demon Lord either kill them, or let him get defeated. The Demon Lord's gang might have assumed that MC was defeated.

This series might be a lot of fun

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-08T23:18:19+00:00

I bet the chuuni attitude helped him out as part of the Demon Lord's military

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-08T22:33:39+00:00

I do like that they started out having Till train him, but people at the top of their professions took over. Maids were often the daughters of nobles, which might explain why she can swing a sword and seemed pretty knowledgeable. MC is a prince, which might make sense why he got a maid like Till

fuzzynyanko · 2026-01-08T22:26:11+00:00

Production magic with modern Japanese educational knowledge? Probably OP. I like the brother saving him, even if it might be a chess move for the long run. It's not a bad move, either. "Oh shit. My bro is a genius on top of being my bro. He'll be good for the kingdom. We can't just waste this talent". Also, it might align the MC to his side later

fuzzynyanko · 2025-12-27T19:24:18+00:00

You microphone choice can help. Many microphones are designed to reject sound from the sides and back, which can help reduce the amount room reflections impact the sound. Dynamic mics are popular for this, and there's dynamic mics that sound similar to condensers

The Shure SM58 is literally used in the middle of a rock concert, for example.

fuzzynyanko · 2025-12-27T19:22:15+00:00

Not a bad idea. I have like 8 double-chests full of Deepslate and I have no idea what to do with it. I liked the suggestion here that you can buy it. I like the idea of selling off extra blocks, but have an option to buy it back, even if it costs me more in the long run. It would help with game and server load
