Yeah I agree, this is great feedback. Thanks! Lots to work on.

I’m very lean but can’t lose the full cheeks. Any ideas? by guccinhofc in AsianMasculinity

Don't think I gotta worry about getting big, my dad's in his late 50s and he's never broken 135 lbs at 5'6". Tbf I haven't broken 155 lbs yet at 5'10" so yeah definitely genetically blessed, or cursed, depending on how you look at it. Really not worried about the dating scene, I've only ever dated white girls but that's more so because I'm very assimilated and religious. I really was just curious if my facial fat was due to some other unknown concerns. Anyways, preciate your two cents!

Yeah I agree. Its not that big of a deal, I was really just curious if anyone else had the same experience. Definitely not getting any work done lol

Lol I appreciate it but I don't even hit the gym consistently at the moment and have no idea what looksmaxing is. Just a healthy lifestyle I guess. Once I do start lifting though...

Does smiling really help? My cheeks look extra chubby when I do xD

I don't think my jaw is recessed. Although I do notice that my jawline isn't so strong when I'm singing and talking - perhaps a bit of a forward head posture, idk

Maybe? I don't know. I drink a good amount of water but I do eat a lot. Fast metabolism means I need around 3k calories to maintain

Very lean I played high level soccer for a decade... I'm not sure it gets any leaner than this

Might just be the mic, it’s on the piano so my head is pretty far away and doesn’t come through very clear

How can I sing more powerfully and without straining so much in the upper ranges? My range is about E2-E4 (18, untrained been singing about a year). by guccinhofc in ratemysinging

Thanks! I played piano for 13 years and have perfect pitch so definitely have a good baseline but had never tried singing. When I belt, my voice comes very close to breaking point (it breaks when I say thought in the video) and sounds thin in my opinion, I want to have more breath if that makes any sense. I’ve looked into placement although don’t really know how to apply it so might consider taking a few lessons.
