i have a question.
how do you support your stomach?
i know you have to breathe from your diaphram but im confused on how.
and how do you sing um... i guess stronger?

How can I improve my falsetto?
kokoling: It's a very mental thing. Think of a flying feather, and pull your voice vocally upward. As soon as you get throaty and chesty, the falsetto goes out of the window.

Can someone explain that more with more detail?

How can I increase my range?
vivosergirl: Believe it or not, your vocal cord is a MUSCLE. So think of trying to increase your range as trying to increase your flexibility. What do you do in gym to increase your flexibility? You stretch! A good way to stretch is to go slightly over the limit, but not so much as to tear your muscle. It's better to stretch your vocal cords little by little for 10 minutes at a time. It might put a strain on your vocal cord if you try to do it too much. Practice continuously, a little bit at a time.

How do you know when you are over the limit?

For GOLDWAVE mixing:

1. Select your voice
2. Copy it (ctrl+C)
3. Select the instrumental
4. Click the Mix button (one of the buttons in the same row as new, open, save..blahblah)
5. A mix window will appear
6. Set the time for your voice to start, You can press the play button on the right to see if your voice starts at the correct part of the instrumental
7. When you're done click ok
DONE! hope it helps.

Anyway, can someone tell me how to get rid of my microphone's annoying bg sound? It has this "boooooong" sound when i use microphone boost. Quality of my recording sucks!! Is there anything wrong with my sound card of whatsoever, or should i just get a new mic?

[liveMworks]

Could someone plese help me.
I need a mike to record, but i don't know which kind. I found one on Radioshack.
here's the Link
Can someone check it out and tell if if this mike is okay to sing with?
Or if there are better ones can someone tell me?

I have a really noob ask; is it normal to hear your own voice recorded and totally hate it? I mean when u always talk or sing and u like ur own voice, but when u record it and sound it sounds like a voice of someother, really ugly voice?

haha yea sometimes im like that too espeically if you just started recording your own singing.. i think sometimes well for myself im very critical so you tend overanalyze your own singing as compared to listenin to your favourite artists where you just relax and enjoy the music

hi, i don't know if anyone had posted this question before .. if anyone's using audacity for recording, do you notice that sometimes below the bar there'll write "recording time remaining"? mine used to have 20hour but now itz been reduced to 10 .. so i'm wondering what will happened if we used up all the hours? will i be unable to record with it anymore after that? or do i need to redownload it again?

[brosentgal]

Okay, is it normal for some people to have voices that makes them have like a stuffy nose? You know...like BoA? (No offense)How can you get rid of that problem?

That stuffy nose sound you mention is actually not uncommon among most pop singers. If you must know, most of the classical singers/coaches cannot even handle listening to stuff like that..because what you are doing is you are basically destroying your vocal chords!No seriously, I don't know how BoA can sing like that and manage to have a voice for all of her concerts and CDs. One day she will wake up to no voice at all..I am dead serious.See, when she sings like that..or for anyone in that matter, what happens is that..instead of using all of the support you are "supposed" to be getting from your diaphragm, you are getting it all from your vocal chords. Your vocal chords are just two flaps of muscle in your throat. So really, you are forcing out a sound that is choking!If you are to sing pop, try to understand the fundamentals of singing classical first because classical singing (which is such a challenge) is what will help you better understand that singing with a supported breath will sound better, richer, and more you than the BoA sound.So your question ties all the way back to breathing..if you can have a supported breath while singing, that nasal sound will automatically go away.You sing from your stomach, your body is the vessel for the air...you don't just use your vocal chords and that is a common misconception that people get when they try to sing pop..just yell it out like Christian Aguilera and you are sounding good..no it doesn't work like that...you need support.I hope that helps.

Could someone please help?I really need to know!

I am sure that this mike will help you with your recording. What are you recording for? I have used this kind of mike in my video tech class for voice overs and one of my guy friends used this kind of mike for his guitar playing...so I am sure that this will be alright to use. If you are still in doubt..just call up radio shack or go there in person and ask them about it.

[lovemickytobits]

whoa, thanks for sharing.
but i dont have a nice voice.
is it still possible for me to sing as nice as BoA(it's just an example!!) if i practise really hard?

[jessi31493]

Hey! I was wondering, some artisits only sing in a falsetto when they go for the REALLI high notes, but they sing with their normal voices when it's not the high notes, like the voices in which they speack. Somehow, that's really hard for me, it's like everytime I sing, it just comes out in a falsetto, and when i try to sing in my normal voice, it sounds weird. What is that voice called anyways??

Thanks in advance!

Ah, my initial thoughts that you were a classically trained singer is correct.

Firstly, I think BoA is an awesome singer. Her vocal technique of current sounds excellent. I don't think she'd ever wake up with no voice.

Secondly, can you define breathe support? What is meant by, "...you are getting it all from your vocal chords."?

Thirdly, forcing sound doesn't neccessarily mean choking.

Fourthly, Christina Aguilera doesn't "yell". Her high chesty heavy notes are signs of breathe support.


Fifthly, nasality is not the cause of improper breathe support from my understanding.

Full voice. To the audience, sounds like chest voice.

I really need to know!

If you can't hold it in your hand, don't buy it. Meaning don't get a deskmic. Get a handheld. I use the Behringer XM8500 and I highly suggest it.

And... Sikkony :: I don't agree with Brosentgirl's opinions on certain people (i think Lena Park's voice is going to be destroyed before Boa's because her vibrato's going to collapse her throat), but breath support is where you power your voice from. most people singing from their lungs which is incorrect form-- when one sings, the shoulders should not move. The concept of breathing from the belly or the red balloon game is to power the notes from deeper inside of you, so you can relax and take less vocal strain-- to give the most sound for the least effort. Think of it like a tube of toothpaste. If you squeeze it in the middle, only a little bit comes out-- but if you squeeze it at the end, it ALL comes out. Does that make sense?

Brosentgal :: There are many different schools of vocal thought and it is good to be open minded to all of them. Everyone has a different voice, ne. A belter will belt, and a soft spoken person will sing softly-- but just because a person sings from a different school than you, doesn't mean you should slam their technique completely. Christina Aguilera's breath support is amazing. I'm not sure, but it sounds like she does SLS, which is really a very good technique-- the technique I prefer, actually.

Yup, I was asking only to see her definition of breathe support. We are both SLS trained, although I still got quite a lot to go compared to you especially in phrasing, deliver, stylistic approach and mostly experience LOL . I'm not really SLS but the foundations are the same. I agree Sou with your comment.


Question for that Behringer 8500, how do you avoid the muffled sound when recording close? What are your settings on your amp? Do you gain low, output high, then amplify the sound through software? Your clips are amazingly clear.

[jasmine_korea]

OK i have this question i can not vibrate my voice in anyway!! i have no idea how ppl do the vibration at the end of every part of the song.
Is there any special practice for that??
I hope my question will not be that dumb
thanx
