ListenToLife Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well, I'm a musician - Guitarist and pianist - and I'm quite good (So modest XD). But to be able to sing along side that would be amazing. The problem is, my voice is terrible. Anyone got any advice, cause all I can see on the internet is go to a singing teacher, and to be honest I dont want to do that until I can at least sing a little. Any advice, anyone? Would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~NOiSE~ Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Honestly, a vocal teacher is the best way to go, especially if you're not familiar with the basic fundamentals (i.e. breathing, pitch, etc.). Even a single lesson can really open up your voice, but like any instrument, you need to take many lessons to really fine-tune your voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ListenToLife Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Dont worry, I'm never using auto-tune. I'm normally a fricking metal artist; metal artists dont use fricking auto-tune. But I'm doing acoustics more regularly, so I'd prefer to have at least some singing to back it up. If you really suggest a singing teacher, then I should probably do that. I just, well, dont want to. XD Dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Here's a thought. Why not become an apprentice of an opera singer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListenToLife Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 And where am I gonna find an Opera singer? O.o I'll probably just end up taking the singing lessons, I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Either a singing teacher or you can just do natural vocal excersises. Practice singing from the diaphragm and breathing practice. Since you can play instruments, use those to just help yourself with tuning. Warm up your voice before singing to help with strain. Even a couple of scales a day helps with your voice. You can try to stretch your vocal range with ascending or descending scales too. If it sounds bad, carry on. Improvement sneaks up on you. You just have to stick at it, and be mentally aware. That's my advice, basically from my general singing and piano experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amazing Avian Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 One of my friends (makes American Idol winners seem like chumps in comparison) is teaching me how. If you have any friends who are good singers, I'd suggest asking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, how you perceive your voice is different from how everything else perceives your voice. So, I'd recommend that you find a vocal coach. Maybe your school's choir teacher, maybe someone in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CinnamonStar Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Your school has free music lessons? Dayum, that's great. But like people mentioned before, look for a singing teacher. Singing with the wrong technique can work for a while, but it will strain your voice and degrade it at some point.D: So the safe way is probably to take regular courses and be studious. Also, most people who show up at their first music course are terrible and a few of them can't or are just learning to read notes. [s]Or like me, you stop doing music and forget about almost everything.[/s] Maybe you will meet some off-the-bat talents here and there, but you're definitely not the only one with an un-developped voice. So far. If you're really scared about what you're going to sound like, look for individual courses rather than choirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
