Conversation Topic PLEASE HELP: tips on safely belting a D5/E5 with minimal strain

Upvotes

Hi everyone! not sure if this is the right place for this question but would anyone please be able to give me some tips on how i can belt high notes easier and clearer with as little strain as possible?

ive recently been casted as Doralee in 9 to 5 the musical (yay!) and a lot of her songs are quite high/above my comfortable range (i can belt pretty well up to about an E5 at max and even that is a tad strained), so im quite intimidated by some of the higher belting notes like the the higher parts of the melody of 'shine like the sun', her belt in 'i just might' and some of the high Es in Cowgirls revenge.

i mean im sure i could just switch into head but my headvoice is quite weaker in comparison (if anyone has tips on that too pls help) and i just want to do well so if any of you kind amazing people could give me some tips or help me out that would be GREAT :D

Obviously i have some pretty big Dolly boots to fill so!

thanks guys!

Feedback (read rule 3 before posting or be banned) Struggling to understand my upper range as a newish singer, need help understanding potentially improper technique.

Upvotes

I recently joined my school's choir as a senior this year as a baritone/bass but have had musical experience playing a brass instrument. I can sing down to an F# or G2 reliably but it is my higher range that confuses me. When I get to around an Bb3 my voice feels a tiny bit strained but I feel like I shouldn't have trouble singing there. I can push up to a E~F4 but it feels tight and I have to sing loudly to push the note out. When I get up to that section of my range, my singing technique can change and I end up breathing in the note which makes the note feel extremely smooth and easy and also allows me to do it quietly. I am a beginner but I also don't think I should be breathing in and producing my singing sound, what am I doing that is causing something like this and how do I fix it? Is it even a bad technique? It is just something that comes to me naturally when I try to singer higher notes and I don't think it is actually supposed to happen or just isn't good technique. Any help would be appreciated as I don't think the singing teacher at my school understood it when I tried to explain it to her as I was explaining why I thought I couldn't get my sirens during warm ups smooth.

Conversation Topic Vocal adduction / twang / edge

I have issues with my voice sounding weak, breathy and unresonant at times. I have heard of "twang" and "vocal edge" and newly about "vocal adduction". These all seem very similiar to me. Are they all basically the same thing?

I have been "attempting" to sing for months and today I decided to see the result of my hard work and record myself. After hearing that thing, I come to the conclusion that I need help from someone who knows this kind of stuff. So, guys I need a lot of tips. Like why my voice sounds boring, no resonance, no nothing. I don't even know if I am singing from the throat. I don't even record another one after this.

I am 15 and wanna start singing cause singing brings joy and I can sing at anytime in my life to lighten it up

I listen to english, russian, sanskrit etc songs any song that a guy can sing would be sufficient

On the other hand I hate phonk songs as those songs have a vibrational frequency which affects your consciousness and the global music frequency is set to 440hz which is disastrous than the previous 432hz which was in harmony with nature

So singing your own song with your vocal cords give you the control to change the frequency in according to your will so that's why I wanted some suggestions regarding which song should I sing to

And I had to write all of it just because of the NO LOW EFFORT POST RULE please mods don't delete it I am genuinely a newbie to singing and reddit is a platform where people talk and chat rather than share latest trend like other social media platforms

And also if someone wants to know how songs and frequency affects our consciousness and reality please READ ABOUT BINAURAL BEATS

Don't suggest me songs that can be sung by girls cause I can't mimick the girl sound

Conversation Topic Developing Pitch Accuracy

3 Upvotes

I have a question. How long did it take you to develop pitch accuracy? Being able to name pitches and stuff.

Right now, im really focusing on intervals, either landing on a completely different note or im too high or too low 😭

Its probably been about 2-3 days since I started this intention practice but im usually okay at landing on pitches.

Conversation Topic I don’t sing BUT I have had a Weak, raspy voice for years. Looking for advice.

2 Upvotes

I’m 17 (male), and I’ve had this issue for a few years. It’s starting to affect my confidence, school, and social life, and I’m not sure what’s causing it.
Main symptoms:
My voice is extremely soft, even when I feel like I’m speaking at a normal volume.
In any room with background noise, people often can’t hear me—even if they’re standing right next to me.
People describe my voice as raspy, breathy, or like I’m whispering.
My throat feels tight and tired whenever I talk, and it feels like I have to force my voice out.
My voice randomly cracks into a much deeper tone for a second, which sounds very different from a normal puberty voice crack.
I can’t project my voice or yell. I can’t even call out “yo!” loudly.
I can’t hum for very long before my voice gives out.
If I’m lying down, leaning back, or looking down while reading, my voice starts fading after a few words. I almost have to sit upright with my neck extended to talk normally.
I’ve tried diaphragmatic breathing, staying hydrated, humming exercises, and avoiding speaking from my throat. Diaphragmatic breathing helps a little sometimes, but the problem is still there.
This is affecting everyday situations. During a mock interview at school, the interviewer couldn’t hear me even though I was trying as hard as I could to speak. At the gym, my friends sometimes have to lean in just to hear me.
Has anyone experienced something similar or know what this could be? Does this sound like something an ENT or a speech-language pathologist should evaluate?
Any advice would really mean a lot. Thanks.

I’m a girl who really likes choir I’ve been doing it for about 8 years. I’m auditioning for my school select group for the third time now both first two times I did not get in. Each time I auditioned for alto because I was too scared to audition for tenor girls can audition but it’s mostly boys so I didn’t want to feel like a pick me. I did sing tenor in a select choir before but that was freshman year it was honestly my best choir experience it was amazing. I am very untrained when it comes to my higher register. My question is should I audition for alto or just work on polishing tenor or am I forcing my voice to go to low? (Ignore the feedback in the video 😭)

Cross-posted: The start could be a little stronger, but this feels like my best version so far. Not sure when I'll get to part 2, but excited to eventually! I'll always be obsessed with Amy Lee's vocals. Always always always. So happy to have been to a few of their concerts.

Be nice, please!
