to sing higher i guess practice on hard songs?
but not too hard so that ur voice cracks every other second while singing
pick songs that you can reach but you barely reach it or you're almost cracking you voice singing the song.
practice the song over and over and eventually you'll master the song.
and then move on to harder songs and so on.
hmm..how to sing lower..i hab no clue imma guy so yea, i neva work on dat
and singing louder, you juss gotta use lotsa air and remember to open wide when you sing.
throat hurting is actually pretty common for beginners. but yea not sure if you are one.
i think issh actually good to sing until you're throat's kinda sore once in a while.
that kinda opens up your vocal chords to a wider range i think.


welpz, daz all i can say.

*oh and this wasnt in ur question, but i'll say it anyways. when you sing, DO NOT force out anythin fancy like vibratto or w/e. juss sing in a straight tone until you have enough power & control over it. the techniques come after that

^^; Nevermind.

i noticed that people say it's better to sing out loud and wide but does it actually help you move from one note to another smoothly? li know alot of people including myself have trouble sliding their voices to the proper notes and it it because i'm just not using my voice loud enough?

[j'adoreAZNpop]

I donno if this was posted but there is this song that has a female voice and male voice...i'm trying to get rid of the female part...any suggestion?

I'm not sure if this question was asked before, but does the quality of your mic affect the way you voice sounds when you play it back? If so, what is a good mic?

yea does it? coz i sound different when recorded..like squeakier and stuffiers and me singing as im hearing..or is it meant to be like that..

[Faded Aura]

I was wondering... How do you make your voice "blend" into the instrumental music more? I've tried recording over and over again, but when I play it, it just sounds really obvious that you're singing it "on top" of the instrumental instead of "blended in" with the instrumental... I'm not sure if I'm expressing myself clearly... ><;;... Like... Some recordings sounds really smooth so it mixes into the instrumental really well, while other recordings are standing out...

[kokoling]

You can either adjust the volume of your mic, or you can adjust it digitally with a program. Which one do you use?

[Faded Aura]

I use Cool Edit Pro 2.1...

Also, how does the volume of the mic affect this?

[appledapple]

I use Cool Edit Pro 2.1...

When you're done doing your vocal and touching it up, adding effects, etc, save it as a MONO Mp3

Reopen it and your instrumental track (which is stereo for this to work). The vocal should now sit it the track. Play around with the volume until it's where you want it. Your lead vocal should be mono...well, at least that helps me, but I am no pro so this ain't the law But it seems to help to do it that way. Good luck.

[Faded Aura]

It works!!! =] Thank youu!!!!

But then I have one problem with it... It seems the bass part is extremely loud after I save the mixdown as a mono MP3... Is it because I did something wrong while saving?

[hmaster]

you're saving the mixdown as a mono mp3...or just your vocals as a mono?
personally I don't know why you bother with a summed mixdown to mono, because you can assign inputs into the track via the IN OUT tabs. By selecting either left or right (usually for mono it's left) Audition automatically generates a mono waveform.

However, if you have a perfectly balanced input signal, then it won't matter whether or not you have mono or stereo, because the L/R signals are exactly the same. although do remember that because stereo is two channels of audio and mono's one, stereo files are twice as big as mono files.

However for the purposes of home recording, whether or not you record in mono isn't the issue. I'm lazy and can't be bothered assigning channels correctly, so all my vocals are "stereo."
it's more to do with your mixing techniques/equipment than your file itself.

When i listen to myself sing, it seems like i sound ok but then i record it and i sound really boring. There are parts where i can get my notes moving in the right way but for the most part, i can't seem to get my voice to kind of shiver so it gives a good effect. When i say shiver, i mean the way that singers constantly move their voices up and down when they are on long notes.

when you listen to yourself sing, you aren't just hearing your own voice, but the sound waves coming off the walls of your room as well. This is called reverberation. Most microphones are not sensitive enough, or you're too close to the microphone so that it masks the reverberation.

So therefore you sound "dead" on playback. Reverb must then be added artificially via effects.

Uhh I know this may seem like a stupid question, but whats the definition of vibrato cos I don't think we use that word in my country and its not in the dictionary o_o

[Raix]

xD I honestly didn't know either so it's not a stupid question. It's the vibrating of your voice. People that don't know that word usually say "shaking" or "up and down" or something =/ Everyone has natural vibratto, it's just that you can hear it more in stronger voices. Umm...if you listen to opera singers and stuff, it's more distinct.

[K_Holic]

^^ opera is all about all that 'shaking up and down'....i have an opinion question for people here...do you think that everyone has the ability to sing beautifully?

Anyone who's not tone deaf (which is EXTREMELY rare) can learn technique with dedication, practice, and a teacher who knows what they're doing...When I think of "beautiful", though, I think of the tonecolor of someone's voice and liking that is a matter of opinion....at least it is for me
