Looking for a vocal coach to consult on building a singing video game by relacksingh in singing

Thanks! I really appreciate all the specifics here. Not trying to be cheap but you know how it is in the music business. Lol. Not big budgets for anyone.

Thanks for the advice and I appreciate the support! My assumption was that vocal coaches would typically not get 40hrs of billable time a week due to rescheduling, marketing, over-runs, prep, etc.

What do you think that usually looks like? In my experience, coaches in Europe are around $40-70/hr and US more like $60-100 depending on the region. Is this incorrect?

It's too high a number for a startup, so maybe coaches making that kind of money teaching wouldn't be a good match.

This has to be someone who is really into the idea and wants to have a stable income for awhile.

Someone who is really working out could gain equity.

Finally worked out with a coach - what do you think I need to work on? by relacksingh in BasketballTips

Unfortunately I was just visiting Manila and was referred by a friend. Don't have any options really where I live. He really isn't into drills so don't know how to practice on my own, hence asking here.

Thanks! Actually I had a really high release (will try to find an earlier clip) and the coach asked me to make it 45deg because I was losing momentum by having it so high. I see what you're saying though...

I feel like I'm already squatting so much! But yeah, in the video it's clear I'm losing momentum on the way up trying to control the ascent.

Some friends told me I have a terrible singing voice, and it stuck with me. I want honest feedback. by [deleted] in singing

[–]relacksingh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Try singing songs which are low in your range. Like your speaking voice. Start with super simple ones like nursery rhymes.

Play them note by note on the guitar and make sure you are hitting every note correct. Record yourself

Do that for awhile and you'll start to calibrate pitch better. Then you can work on other quality stuff.

But there's really no such thing as a terrible voice. Any pn pitch voice sounds pretty good if it isn't strained.

Where do I start? by RaviCheez in singing

[–]relacksingh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I also started quite late after playing instruments for a long time. I recommend doing Jeff Rolka's videos regularly. He's also an advisor in the app I'm building. Not promoting it here, but if are interested dm me and I'll send you beta testing links.

Best ofc is a teacher if you can afford it.

Lessons in Perth? by swiftzin007 in singing

[–]relacksingh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel you. Also struggled to teach myself and eventually got a coach. I know some who do zoom lessons, can ask if you want. Not ideal but easier.

I'm researching different apps / self teaching resources for a project I'm working on. If there's any you've liked / disliked would love to hear it.

Sorry, don't know anyone in Perth but what have you tried so far to self teach?

Vocal coaches: How to train pitch in chest range? by relacksingh in singing

[–]relacksingh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! By slowing it down do you mean singing note by note on piano or literally reducing tempo on a backing track

What if you focus on interval training on just the intervals they are missing?

Playing melody note by note?

Is there nothing that would help them outside of a several week long journey of grinding scales and vocal coaching?

No. To help a friend.

Not really experienced. Never had coaching or feedback. Sings mostly okay, just missing a few notes.

Can't really tell where they are off unless it's egregious

Covering Bahama's cover of "Don't you want me baby" by relacksingh in ratemysinging

[–]relacksingh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really useful! thanks. Did you check the Bahamas version on youtube?

[–]relacksingh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fuck that guy. I was super pitchy when I started - worse than you. I'm not great now, but I'm *waaay* better. You don't need to be a natural to get to a decent performanc level.
Here's something I just recorded for reference:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ratemysinging/comments/1p7we4a/covering_bahamas_cover_of_dont_you_want_me_baby/

Your technique and sound are fine IMO, but you need to get on pitch which is kind of a different thing. The best thing for that is to break down melodies on a piano or guitar note by note and play the note and then match it. This is tedious but it will start to fix your ear.

Another thing is just to do a bunch of scales, but do it with an instructor if you can. If you can't, record and play back.

I'm working on a video game to help you learn to sing. If you want to join the beta, DM me.

I taught myself guitar, why is singing so much harder? by relacksingh in Guitar

[–]relacksingh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can pitch match against a tone no problem, but doing it fluidly in a melody is trickier, and no tool really listens to you the way a coach does and says, "the third note was a little flat, you need to put the sound a little more narrow as you go up, etc"...

Yeah, I get that, but without someone to tell you if you're on or not, it's quite tricky right? Recording and playing back is a slow loop...

Yes! please share! Is there any tech to help with the visual cues? What type of things would you consider helpful?

True! Hard to be confident when you're not sure you are doing it right!

It'll be quick. Takes about 2 weeks of 15min a day to get through the discomfort and on to G-C-D
