wheee I'm an alto mezzo. This means that your voice is pretty much in the middle of the range for a girl, you probably can't go outrageously high, or outrageously low. (my range is probably E below middle C to high E -________-" Pitiful compared to many) But yes...what type of music do you like to sing, that might help in choosing songs for you?

^Rai: Ahahahaha shhhhhh you'll let people in on the secret

Rai-Rai@yes i am in the recording controls if it is the same place you are talking about... it says it's the recording controls.

^Rai: Ahahahaha shhhhhh you'll let people in on the secret

type of music? more pop or easy rock kinda stuff
few examples of songs i do like are one such as... Against All Odds - Phil Colins, Beacause I'm A Girl - KISS, First Love - Utada Hikaru, Timeless - Kelly Clarkson.
basically that's what my taste in music is like. any song recommendations that is somewhat that type of style but still within my vocal range? (alto/mezzo soprano)

sachiko_x what do you have under recording properties?

if somehow you can change the recording setting to line in/wave or something like that instead of the mic, then you could do what dark said

hi =). i was just wonderingg, how do u improve harmonising skills? i tried to sing along to the alto part of songs but im finding it hard, esp. wen they have key changes. can anyone help?

[dark intuitions]

impartial vocal removes? So you can learn the harmony better?
Basically, in most harmonisation, I go down a third, or up a third...it varies...but pretty much it's what sounds good to me. Sometimes I'm wrong, but yeah...
I find the singing along to the alto line very effective though, cos i'm an alto xD

is your microphone setting on like 90-99%?

[murrkoh*]

If you wanted to do warm ups, you can do the typical do-re-me exercises. My teacher used to have us go: do, do re do, do re me re do, do re me fa me re do, etc. until we reached up to high do. Then we'd return going down; do, do ti do, do ti la ti do, do ti la so la ti do, etc. x:

Has anyone ever done the 'momma made me mash my m&m's,' one before? I thought of that after reflecting back on my chorus days. That one was so cute. T_T haha sorry. random. x:

Try breathing exercises to help improve your breathing so you can support your notes more? x:

Your effort shows your will. I hope you can improve. (:<3

what do you mean by breathing excersizes?

[starforme]

Are you asking for what kind of breathing exercises?

[xlilvietgrl]

i have a question......

how do u mix your singing in with the instrumental when you dont use goldwave.....

i have recordpad from wavepad btw...

[sang12345]

hey guys im at college now and at home i had a NRB system that i practiced on everyday but not that im here i hardly get any practice.
are there any voice excercises or anything that will help keep my "singing" in shape? i know theres no substitute for singing but i just want to know if theres anything because i sing loud and the whole hall will hear me . thanks

[heartdrops]

I checked that my mic is already at the loudest but it still comes out soft when I record something. Is there an option to turn it louder on the program (Adobe Audition)

[mikez]

there should be a thing blue box with the letter V in it, input a higher number than 0 to increase the volume

thats to the left of the track you recorded in btw

[JJ.exot5ia]

huh? what do you mean? well~ it's just that i don't know how to make me louder since the music is sooooo loud~ if anyone can help~ that'll be great! XD

[mikez]

for adobe audition its this




change the # higher to make louder or less, works for the beat or vocals

[JJ.exot5ia]

I use goldwave~ XD hope you can help with that too!

sorry i fixed the problem! thanks for all the help~

[cluel3ss]

the link on the first page doesnt work... and my friend... she says i haf a nice voice and all but it doesnt suit for some songs... what does she mean by that? and she says im not suitable for "draggy" songs... plz help

[bishie_bashie]

Heya everyone.

A little about myself... I can reach high notes but not low notes. Also, I lack of emotions (but my friend says it can be nurtured through practice?). My voice, too, lacks of power. How can I improve that?

Here is my soundclick: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=550486

Hope you can hear some of my most recent songs (at the top of page) and give me some comments on how to improve in low notes and power. Thanks!

[JJ.exot5ia]

cluel3ss@ everyone's voice is different. Not all songs suit everyone's voice. That's why singers have people that write songs mainly for them. This way~ there voice makes a good pair with the music and it sounds good. About draggy songs~ i guess it's just that your voice matched an upbeat song, but i've never heard you sing... so it's kind of hard.


bishie_bashie@ Well there are many different ways to fix that. First... more practice and experience in this area is diffenately needed. Your voice is cute but it's not mature, that's what my chorus teacher tells us and I think suits your problem. You are still using a baby voice, which is fine, but if you continue you will never reach low or high notes. Even if you can, they don't sound good.

Some practices my teacher makes me do is::

a:: open your mouth wide and go from loud and very high to a soft and low note. Continue this many times until your voice is open instead of kept in.

b:: doing the scale help~

c:: singing with a head voice helps! Even though when you sing pop music you don't exactly use your head voice, you mainly use your chest voice. But practicing in head voice helps you to control your voice more.

d:: for emotions, what I do is picture the something sad for sad things. When I sang timeless, I remembered the MTV and it made me sad... or. Try to communicate using your voice make it that so you are telling someone this. Not telling, more like convincing. How sad, or happy, or how the song is.

e:: don't just sing the song. ((that's what it sounds like to me when I hear you)) It seems like you are only reading off the words. You don't understand... knowing the meaning of the text helps with the emotion.



HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!
