Hello guys, I have an important question to ask from ya'll singing experts in here.

So, I've been wondering about my voice classification for quite a long time and I'm pretty sure that I'm most probably either a lyrical high bass, a lyrical bass-baritone or a low/dramatic baritone, because my first quite experienced singing teacher said so when I asked him and my lowest comfortable note in his opinion is somewhere between D2 and E2.

Also, my tessitura in chest and mixed voice is D2-Bb4, my lowest chest note without any fry is D2, my lowest still somewhat chesty note is B1, my highest chesty note in is usually B4/C5, but occasionally I've even been able to hit a C#5/D5 with a still somewhat chesty quality. And my first passaggio is at A3 and my second passaggio is at D4/Eb4, I think.

I'd like to hear your thoughts, and I will post an audio clip as soon as I record something.

Hello! I'm in my school's musical, and I am a female (alto 2 but tenor 1 in choir) playing a male character. It's a tenor part, and I sing it in the original octave. I can hit all of the notes, but the lowest notes are at the edge of my range. Unfortunately, the verses in my song begin on the lowest note and I've been finding it difficult to start on that note without cracking. It's also harder because I have to start running across the stage at the start of the phrase, making it more difficult to access the lower edge of my range. Any tips for getting the low notes out strong without cracking?

I wanna be able to sing in my passagio without flipping into head voice and without being the loudest in the room. Is that possible? I have a vocal coach, and according to her it’s not, but I’ve seen it done before. I dont usually like going against her, but this is something I really wanna learn how to do if possible

I'm a complete newbie to vocal techniques and I'm having a really hard time understanding how to move the larynx. I saw many videos where the teachers can simply move it at will without barely making a noticeable facial expression and I just can't seem to do it at will. All I know is that it's a tone changer depending on its position and, while it naturally goes up for higher notes and down for lower notes it can be changed at will. Does anyone know any trick for training to control it at will? I've been doing the yawning exercise for so long but just can't seem to grasp the idea or how to control the muscles responsible for that. Even if I manage to maintain the larynx at a lower position, it just goes up the exact moment I try to say anything.

When it comes to learning other musical instruments, the focus often starts with a basic understanding of how the instrument functions, followed by exploring the physical and mental aspects of playing it.

Maybe I'm wrong here but with the voice, I've noticed that there’s often a significant emphasis placed on highly technical and anatomical vocabulary in vocal training. More so at least than the musical & ear training aspect of singing (which I'd consider HALF the act of singing itself).

I found this to be an interesting contrast. Without taking one side or the other, how much do the overly anatomical terms in vocal technique actually help you when it comes to the real, practical, literal, physical act of singing? Have they enhanced your ability to connect with your voice, or do they sometimes confuse you and get in the way?

EDIT: I just want to reiterate - I am NOT denying the science behind how the voice works at all. It's incredible to know how much more we know about the voice than 50 years ago.

But this topic is trying to create a different context. If I were to put it into an analogy, how much of the internal mechanics of the car is important to know in order to actually drive the car itself & in the moment of driving(the verb)? Have the current methods of teaching the voice drawn the line well? Is there an imbalance one way or the other?

Is it possible for males to increase the range of their head voice? Im struggling to go past D5/E5 and it’s been like this months. I’m starting to wonder if it’s just a biological limit or a result of bad technique. Anyone have any tips?

im 14 and i can easily Hit an F note in chest voice im just wondering any recommendations for preferably musical songs that go higher?

What do you do (singing-wise) that's over the top?

I'll start:
I have a harmonies problem ... I can hear harmonies, but then I hear more harmonies, and what was supposed to be 3-4 parts ends up being 6-8 parts ...

I have a biopsy scheduled in two weeks. It's not cancer or anything malignant. It's most likely some extra membrane at the bottom between the cord but it is not on the cords. The biopsy is not on the cords.

Has anyone had microscopic direct laryngoscopy with biopsy?
What was the recovery time after it? How long before you could sing?
How long before you can do physical exercise?

Keep it positive!

Thank you.

I just got accepted into my schools voice program, however I’m also a composition major so my lessons are split in half for this semester. Would it be more beneficial to do 30 minutes every week for consistency or an hour every other week? My professors said 30 minutes would be better but I also wanted to hear your guys opinions

I discovered this guys a few months ago and am fascinated by his voice. Especially when he is in his higher range, his voice has this angelic and feminine aura to it. I was wondering if there are any female vocalists that also have that same way of carrying those higher notes and carry the same angelic sound? I especially like his, “Ave Maria”, where he is able to reach the notes innocently and almost airy but not. I have no idea what I’m talking about lol

Hey everyone! I just joined after watching this subreddit for a while 😊 I’m a female contralto singer trying to get a start in my local scene and need any/all advice, song suggestions, and maybe even band advice! Thank you sm! 💖 songs I am good at are zombie, crazy, bring me to life, etc. for reference!

I’m a male who has always struggled with singing high notes, as my voice would just simply cut out whenever I went too high. Are there any tips or exercises for singing in falsetto?
