You are a genius!!!! That was my problem!!! With 2 days practice on pitch and omg!!! I can understand the tone and I sound great already!! 🙏🏻 thank u!!!!
I hope you don't have roommates or a spouse lol. Because when you're first learning to sing, you can sound REALLY bad. But that's part of the process. And the exercises can be loud and annoying.
Over the last year I taught myself ukulele and now that I know several songs I am desperate to sing along while I play but I want to improve my singing first...this video gives me so much hope. Xxx
Wow, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you shared that old recording; It's go good to hear that it's actually possible to start out really bad and still become that good. So many people who say they sounded really bad when they "started" singing actually sounded pretty bad, I was kinda losing hope for myself.
I would cringe hearing myself. Always thought it was tone. Never questioned pitch because I'm very good musically and can tune a guitar perfectly by ear. Turns out it is (mostly) pitch. This is exactly what I've been working on and has been the biggest help to me. From what I've watched, you seem like the most helpful /useful CZcams vocal teacher
_This is what I sounded like 10 years ago_ *whEN A MAaᵃᵃan lOveS a WömAN* You sound much better now, but that early clip had me wheezing even though that's probably what I sound like right now
Sugar Candy I’m not a great singer but I’m an okay one and I’ve done a lot of live stuff, and there’s actually exercises my vocal coach taught me to single out one instrument, usually the bass or the guitar and only focus on them. Helps a lot with the confusion. It took a lot of practice though
im a female with a low register voice and my voice is naturally raspy so I really struggle with my pitch . I really need to see this video thanks, man .
A tone deaf friend of mine, being a bit of an old-school techie, improved himself dramatically (though not perfectly), by self-training using an oscilloscope in the way you used the cel app.
I've always had the problem that my singing voice refuses to obey. I hear what note I need to hit but it's impossible for me to match it and it's always flat or sound stupid haha. But I've had some times where I've nailed a few phrases but then I usually don't have the emotion or the enunciation I'm looking for, usually because I was only focusing on nailing the pitch and forgot everything else
I felt the same, i think i had some improvement after review the apoggio concept and open more the mouth, not dark the sound, raise the soft pallate, have more space in general try think of a smile face while singing to resonate in the correct places...the hard thing im facing is that i still have some tensión and cant match the notes perfectly but im more close than flat now, i guess now my problem is ear training and try to solve all my tension but i see some of these videos sometimes trying to find some gold idea to try it

I can totally hit the notes when i play them on a piano from C to B for example one by one. What i cant do is finding the melody of a song and hitting those notes with my voice , i mean trying to sing a melody and being unable to correctly is what makes me think im just tone deaf
TheGriffoe if you can reproduce notes but not melodies, you’re going to need to work on interval training. That basically means being able to identify and reproduce how to get from one note to the next. Musictheory.net has some good tools for that
@@DBasedAlex It's weird. I've never learnt how to read music, but started messing around with that site and was getting it right about 40%. I just go with what feels right but no idea why I think it feels right. I went to exercise and started with note and key signature identification. I don't even know what a key signature is lol. I know 40% isn't good, just shocked me I had even a little bit, as it's so foreign to me. Like looking at another language.
@@DBasedAlex Okay well thank you for linking that site. I know it wasn't to me, but it now has me able to understand sheet music and not feel so overwhelmed. I kept doing those exercises and it all just started making sense. I thought that was something I was never going to able to do.
I used to sound very monotoned. But I was a reader and I often read out loud. My wife would tell me I was monotoned. So I practiced reading better by paying attention to my pitch and pace. As a result I learned to sound better and was chosen in many programs to read publicly. Little did I know that it also helped with my singing as well.
Adam, in minutes you improved the quality of my life enormously. I love music in all it entirety and the biggest chip on my shoulder always was that I cannot reproduce music through my voice and cannot sing. It was especially taunting because I knew how awfully wrong I sounded. I just didn't understand how to correct it. When I was told to go higher or lower I just didn't know what exactly does it mean (maybe some brain disorder). You gave me visual crutches (or rocket jet), it is so simple now with a tuner, just practicing. I am so elated. Thank you from my heart! Life just became more beautiful.
My voice sounds good without music but when I sing it with instrumental music, I feel like my voice is too low for the music. Is it true that I need to make the music lower or make my voice higher ?
Late response, but it’s hard to focus on singing and musical instruments at the same time. If you are playing the instrument you basically have to play it on autopilot while singing
After this hands down i love you! Literally sometimes i sing good other really bad but i never seem to succeed on those pitch practices i really think this could help me
I saw some lessons that just encourage you to repeat the piano sound, by I couldn't figure out if I'm succeeding or not. This is incredibly clear, thank you so much! And quite fun, too
As I said to my brother (who is a musician) once, and got a good chuckle from him, there are three important things about singing: the first is pitch...and so are the other two. Glad to see someone here stressing that aspect of singing. If you haven't got pitch...it doesn't matter a toss what else you might have!
This helped so much. It was like my voice resolution increased ten fold. As if there were tones hiding in the dark and when trying to much much more carefully slide between notes those tones stepped into the spotlight for the very first time. I seriously didn't know I had the capacity to even produce those sounds. Thank you!
Really digging your videos, our singer was out of town today so I stood up played bass and sang, I've been singing backup vox for yrs and really love singing it just feels so good its a great emotional release, definitely loves these tho, great facial hair adam lol,
The intro to this is the only "before and after" singing example where the 'before' is actually BAD and it fills me with hope, thankyou xD (your current voice is amazing btw.) *subs*
Damn! That's what I've been looking for. Other lessons "for absolute beginners" beginners that you find on CZcams start with scales which makes me feel like an idiot cause I can't hit a single note yet or more exactly I don't even know what notes I hit and when. Thumbs up!
I use Vocal Pitch Monitor by Tadao Yamaoka because it displays the pitch in a graph format so that you can analyze more things like inflections, vibratos, and vocal runs. You can even record directly in the app while monitoring.
This was exactly the method I used to help a fellow member who was tone deaf to learn pitches, and I'm not some knowledgeable musical educator, just another member of the choir. Figured since the voice is just another instrument, it could be tuned just like instruments.
I like the advice about finding your comfortable note. The issue I seem to have (the last time I tried) was that my breath control couldn't keep up and I had undesired "d
As a non English native speaker there's actually some classes that teaches you how to identify different sounds and tones to sound more native like, and it actually surprises me how similar they are when compared to singing classes. Like, even the warm-ups exercises are pretty much the same
I was even worse before I started learning. Couldn’t sing over a whisper, my voice was that weak. After about a year, I let my ex hear me sing for the first time and he cried. I fell off for awhile, but I’m getting back at it. Videos like this are so incredibly valuable.
I can tune a guitar by ear easily. I can also recognize intervals in songs I'm listening. However, there is definitely a communication breakdown when it comes to actually singing the notes. I'm not COMPLETELY off or anything. Just not nearly as precise as I want to be.
Hi Adam first I wanna say thank you for the lessons and second I would love to see you do a reaction video to Dermot Kennedy he’s a new artist from Ireland who just released his first album
@@watergraffiti yes im sure, the thing is its alot easier to hit the correct pitches in a bad tone or a weak tone (atleast for me) and i thought it was bcoz i had some sort of nodules but i went to a doctor and he said it was just an inflammation, i just think that i shouldnt be struggling to hit these notes in full voice or a mix and im not sure why i am
That's me!!! I can tune a guitar by ear, figure out most songs by ear and I can also recreate or mimic pitch with my voice but feel like I'm tone deaf a lot of the time.. even can't find the right vocal pitch sometimes while I'm playing the correct song chord on guitar... and then all of a sudden I'll have it and I'm all good but realise I was way off where I was searching for it from in my head... it's weird.
Here is an app which can help you visualise your pitch in realtime to help you in singing: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reallyouttaworld.vocalpitchmonitor
Unbelievable, just 10 min of playing with the piano I'm hitting almost always the correct one. Maybe sometimes 1 tone up or down but still, I thought I was totally useless.
I have a hard time sometimes figuring out what is on pitch and off pitch. I am called upon quite often to be a baal tefila. This did help a bit but would love to have lessons with you if possible.
It is not something that works overnight. Practice with this for a month and let me know how it went. If you want 1:1 lessons go here: www.amvocalstudios.com/best-singing-lessons
I bought something called Vocal Lab for MacBook. It was $7 and the interface is way better than the tuner approach, in my experience. It shows you a pitch graph and displays your note as a line on the graph plus all of its vital stats above, in real time. It remains on-screen when you stop singing so you can really view and analyze your pitch consistency. Just a few days in and I'm already sensing improvement in both my perception and control of those tiny cents worth of pitch.
so i guess the more we practice this the more we'll recognize which pitch is being used in songs? any tips on that transition between singing and listening + singnig?

The thing is music is not just a single note. It’s when all the drums and other instrument get involved my mind goes blank
Sugar Candy I’m not a great singer but I’m an okay one and I’ve done a lot of live stuff, and there’s actually exercises my vocal coach taught me to single out one instrument, usually the bass or the guitar and only focus on them. Helps a lot with the confusion. It took a lot of practice though
just do this practice consistently, you can't just run before you can walk. I'm pretty sure you would be able to do it!
@@LKpixels Yes you can't run before you can walk but you also can't learn to run just by walking.
Learn about theory and scales. I think that might help.
Exactly! With multiple instruments it all blurs together.
im a female with a low register voice and my voice is naturally raspy so I really struggle with my pitch . I really need to see this video thanks, man .
you should sing cabaret music
Same with me
I’m not tone deaf, my voice is just bad in general
I feel you bro

No voice is bad. It's only a matter of acceptance. If you don't love your own voice who else will? 😊😊 Love love.

I use my soft pallet for pitch and my voice just goes to any note without trying. It's pretty cool and this is also how I discovered my mixed voice.
