Anyone Else Wanna Sing?

[Guest TBForLife]

Hey guys and gals. I've been singing a lot and felt like posting my vids.

I hope they get better and better as I go. I've been using songs to mark my voice drop. If it drops any more I'm in trouble haha!

Right now I'm just trying to get used to it. It dropped off REAL FAST and I was almost not ready for it.

Well actually it dropped first then it dropped HARD. I found myself singing Live, Bush, Tool etc

Now I CANT.

I'm singing Metallica right now a lot because it's the only thing in my range. To add to that I can't handle a lot of the high notes.

So without further adeu

Mama Said, By Metallica.

Sorry the music is a little loud...

I've been using songs to mark how much my voice has changed too.

But, not to that kind of music. Not that I don't like Metallica, etc. I just listen to more alternative like Smash Mouth and country. I used to have a great tenor voice. Now I'm getting almost to the point that I can't match Tim McGraw anymore. I'm more in the Trace Adkins range.

I hope I don't go much lower. I'll be getting into the Sam Elliott "Beef. It's what's for dinner." range soon.

i am trying to sing along in my car in a more feminine manner. i actually have a good singing voice, but it is male, and that is so not what i want to be anymore...

so far, it sounds... well, fake. i can hit notes, but i cannot make them sound sweet or genuine. it just sounds weird, and the only thing i have learned i can pull off consistently at this point is a bee gees styled falsetto. which is kind of sort of impressive, but i am working on becoming a beautiful woman. and somehow, a pretty woman with long chestnut locks, nice legs and blue eyes singing like barry gibb just isn't adding up...

Felicia, try singing male country songs. Thats what I do when I need to get my voice up really high for high notes.

I know I know male songs, ack yuck.

But some guys have really high voices, using your great male singing voice and hitting those higher male notes may get your range up. It's stretching but not ripping vocal chords to death.

Another thing I've tried to get the higher voices when I was a trained soprano (busts a gut laughing at that one Sarah Briteman OMG LOLZ)

Was forcing myself hardcore to sing something I CANT and then going back to something less difficult after warming up a bit.

You'd like this song check out my link it's pretty country.

[Guest Zabrak]

Yeah, your voice rocks. I just can't watch the whole vid because for some reason people singing to other songs makes me crack up laughing. I think its all their faces they make. AHAHAHA.

I'll be singing oldie soft songs when my voice drops more, though.

[Guest TBForLife]

Yeah I'm recording right now again and my kids are all on me sticking their fingers in my mouth, I'm also really relaxed right now from meditating so I'm going all at it.

Will post soon and I'll be looking for some singing Zabrak! I can't wait to hear you!!!!

[Sally]

I have the problem of trying to get rid of a full Bass voice - I have range to a second Tenor and can make First Tenor without too much effort.

The problem lies in the fact that I can hit the notes for any vocal range I want all the way to Mezzo Soprano on a good day, but I still have a hard time loosing the chest resonance that makes me sound like Timothy B. Schmidt rather that Nora Jones!

I'm not the first in my family to have such a wide vocal range, so the female range is no big deal - it is the tone!

Sally

[Guest TBForLife]

So Since Sally mentioned Range. I decided to push mine as hard as I could.

I do not normally sing this low. Or this high. But I thought HMMM what IS my range?

Now that I've got that figured out I can work with it!

[Guest Zabrak]

I watched that - wow your voice gets deep. Then you made a funny face with the high pitch voice LOL.

Your kids cute, by the way. S/he didn't seem to mind at all that you where singing.

[Guest Laura1977]

I sing all the time. Don't have any videos, though. One of my favorites for stretching the high range is The Sound of Music. I usually do pretty well unless it's too early in the morning...

[Guest Zabrak]

Ok, I've decided to make a little 'singing clip' of myself. LOL I dedicate this short clip uh....Sally! By the way in some parts my voice was cutting out so thats why you can't hear me lol.

Again, below 'download' theres a green arrow. Press that. You may have to wait a couple mins or so depending on how fast your computer connects to it.

[Guest Zack L]

Hmmm interesting.

I've been wondering how low my voice'll go, I sing all the time so I'm a tad worried about the turn out.

As is I'm in my school's all girl choir (Not looking forward to next concert >_<) and have the lowest voice -- I'm an alto II. Should be interesting when I finally get on T.

And wow TB -- you really CAN go low.

[Guest Zabrak]

Oh, wait, that was worded badly. LOL. I ment I sang a song for Sally...Not that the Short people song has anything to do with her.

I understood that Zabrak,

Thank you so much.

You sounded great!

Randy Newman is a good choice, his range isn't that low but he definately sounds like a man.

For all of you FTMs do not pattern your voice after Neil Sedaka!

I had to see him singing before I believed that "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" wasn't recorded by a girl.

Love ya,

Sally

[Guest TBForLife]

Yeaaaaa Zab!

Go for it man.

Hey I have a short person on my lap!

But I know you like em. My kids hear me singing almost all day and night if I'm not asleep or really occupied with something serious.

Both my kids sing too.

Yeah hells right I made funny faces at the high parts. They were like choking myself, I can't sing high.

I used to be able to sing the Diva'a song from fifth element. Yeah RIGHT.

Thanks guys

LOL

@TB

Thanks. I'm going to use any clips I make to compare to my final voice. Its good to keep a record as it slowly drops...will be intresting to hear them all in a row after I'm done dropping.

[Guest TBForLife]

Did you hear my old clip yet?

I love it. DRASTIC change.

I can't even sing as high as I used to talk. This was YEARS ago.

[Guest Zabrak]

For some reason the sound wont play on it. I wanted to hear it again. I saw that clip once but along time ago. I'm at school so maybe I'll just have to play it on my own speakers at home after school.

Oh, yeah. I used to be able to sing along with "Breaking Up is Hard To Do". There is no way I could do it now. That's a bummer 'cause I've always liked that song.

[Guest Neuro]

Is there any way to upload the safest? I am stupid and don't know how XD music clips thru 4shared, or googlevideo...? What do you suggest for a n00b with a 50 dollar mic? owo

I'd like to try my hand at 'hare hare yukai' the happy song XDDD I am not shockingly masqueline voiced yet; but it might be funny for you all to hear! You guy's videos are shocking, it is my new dream to sound that good!!

[Guest Nikk]

I have a pretty wide range. When I was little I used to be the highest soprano in my class. I've gotten down into Sop 2 (wah! no more melody), but I can still get some of the higher range when I try really hard.... I've actually been able to cover Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap on a good day. Then again, I can reach wayyyy down into the lower ranges, but it gets less melodic and flatter. I can cover a jazzish version of Mr. Brightside pretty well. My dream is to join an all boys a cappella choir, but I know that dream is wayyyy far off.

[Guest Kacee]

I used to sing in a band and solo at several local clubs when I was in my teens. But that was MANY years and way too many cigarettes ago. I would like to get my voice back, but it's gonna take a lot of work!! I still have a lot of my old recordings, and I upped a couple on photobucket in case anyone wants to listen to em!! Here's the link to my album.

Hope y'all enjoy em!!

Love
