I've been singing for a long time..for about six years now, in chorus and then on my own. A problem I've noticed lately and I don't know what to do about it.. it's kind of hard to explain, but here it goes.. I don't know whether or not it's a pitch problem or what it is but it's like..when I sing I only can sing really high (i know i am a sophrano, but could it be something else, rather than just my normal high pitched voice?) even if i try singing lower for some songs..it seems i can only sustain a note by going higher. I noticed some singers, when they sing it sounds like their normal voice, but my singing voice always seems so much higher and nothing at all like my talking voice. Since I sing so high I feel like I can't really belt it out..(it isn't because i'm singing from my headvoice, i AM singing from the diaphram) ..it's hard to explain, I hope someone understands and has some tips to improve this, or why I do this..thanks
you should hear my choir teacher, his singing voice(s) are nothing at all like his talking voice, he's such a good singer too. just as long as you're not forcing anything to try to sound like anyone else, i wouldnt worry about it... its probably just your natural singing voice.
Do you mean you actually can't physically sing below your passagio or you think it just doesn't sound as nice? This kind of seems strange since most people have problems supporting their high notes, but you say you have problems supporting your lower notes. I don't really understand what the problem is you're having, but I really suggest if you can afford it getting a voice teacher. They are so incredibly helpful in developing your voice. I really can't emphasise how much they can help you. Try getting a little more specific with your problem, and I'll see if I can help at all since singing is pretty what consumes my life. Peace, sister, and good luck.
It's all about breath control, using your diaphragm and making the most of the formants in your body. Generally there's a magic wand solution that'll fix anything. It's called Practice.
i agree that it's a breath control problem do some breathing exercises like in 1 beat out 1 beat in 16 beats out 16 beats in 1 one beat out 16 beats ect. i find that doing breathing exercises helps me get really low notes also, open up your throat a little bit when you do low notes...... it helps a lot
I've been listening to myself sing a little more closly and judgingly and I think the best way I can describe it is that..it sounds very..airy, and it's not because I'm singing from my chest voice, I am using my diaphram..but it always sounds very, very airy, and it kind of transcends into a anunciation problem. Any ideas?
