I was told in 6th grade I was tone deaf. I only sang when alone in a car listening to the radio. At 50 I was invited to join the church choir. They thought I had a good voice. All those years I wouldn't sing in front of anyone to singing in front of a whole church.
I wasn't allowed to join Junior High choir because I was tone deaf.
This exercise reminds Me of an Alpha Wave feedback; used for rest or meditation.
I don’t believe in tone deafness, unless you have a disability that would cause you not to be able sing. It’s just a matter of stimulating that section of your brain.
Oh I so understand! I was once invited to try out for the church choir but was way too chicken. Good for you! My spiritual parents always encouraged and made me go out to sing with them at nursing homes and such. I tried hard to get over my fear and the scars left my my family, but I only sang as low as I could yet still be singing. Daddy Sam told me that God made me in His image and gave me the voice he wanted to be lifting up to worship Him. Enjoy your choice singing to it's fullest and God bless you Linda!
@@StormyDay That is a lovely thing to say! My husband cannot stand my singing no matter how quietly I try to do it when I do let it slip. It always was so sad not to be able to join in with my friends when we sang. I have issues about it. All of us girls in the family were told we were not able to sing, but I heard my aunt...closest in age to me in our family, singing to her babies and she has a lovely voice! But she denies always. What a shame on my family to do this to us!
My parents took every opportunity to beat me down. I was maybe 9 and singing Christmas carols while helping to decorate, and mom laughed and made fun of me, telling me I was a terrible singer. I refused to sing in front of anyone ever again --- until I started dating a singer/guitarist. He finally pushed me into singing for him (and I did to get him off my case). He was so impressed at how good I was at hitting pitch. I still won't sing in front of anyone else but I know that even if I don't know the words and only hum, I am able to do it pretty much, as you say, spot on.
Hey Fil, this guy almost had me (see response to my original post on this thread)
Yes it's a scam unfortunately, my channel name is Wings of Pegasus and it has a tick next to my name. My channel isn't called 'Hit me up on Tele-gram' or anything like that so always check the channel name!
@@wingsofpegasus yes thanks! I knew when I clicked on the name it was fake; the pic had me confused for a bit.
My ex claimed I was tone deaf. I know that this was an important exercise, but I was cracking up laughing so much. I had a pup with me and he head was tilting from side to side. I recalled my "robot tone" in my car with vibrato because we have HORRENDOUS ROADS and it's like a more severe case of talking in a fan thing. Not really that even and driving in potholes and torn up roads while humming. Pretty bad. I'll have to try it and see where I end up. My sister said I'm not that bad of a singer, but this is coming from a family of non singers and non musicians. Fil, you dedicate a lot of time into educating us and we really appreciate it. Thank you. Plus, it's fun. If it was boring, it's be a waste of time, but it's not. We are learning and in a fun way where we retain the knowledge. ❤🌸🌹✌😍🥰.
Thought I'd share my musical story. It's long but will condense as much as possible. From an early age I, was told by music teacher's in school that I, was tone deaf. So as a result I, never touched a guitar or tried to learn to sing till at age 26 I, bought a guitar and Learned a bunch of chords and started trying to sing. I, was damn awful! Between family, friends and a tape recorder spent the next 15 years learning to hear the tones. Then at age 41 I, finally got to where I, could carry a tune and started my 1st band however still struggling with new song's. Singing even today at age 61 is sometimes a challenge. The difference is now I, can hear when it's not right. Anyway, over the years I've, won multiple singing contest and achieved number a one status for top singers in areas where I've lived and played. Anyway it's all good now. Have been playing professionally for the past 20 years at bars, clubs, state fairs, weddings, campgrounds etc and I've got 35 songs playing on Spotify, iHeartRadio iTunes and even sold on Amazon. All recorded live (no autotune or studio tricks) and have gained quite a few fans along the way....Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it...
This is informative not only for those who would like to sing but for those who want to have more of an understanding what singers goes through at all levels. Thanks Fil 😊🎶
I was told I was tone deaf by a music major in college and believed it for years. But when realized it wasn’t true I practiced duplicating notes on the piano. I will get the app and practice what you described. You are a wonderful teacher, Fil!
Linda, I was tole that by my father at a fairly young age. The rest of my family told me I sang well, and I also taught myself classical piano. I ended up in a church later on in life and some of my friends would tell me I sang well. They encouraged me to audition to sing with a group in the church that led worship. I auditioned and got the part. I also auditioned about a year later and sang with The Continental singers. We toured southwest US and then toured the UK in 1999. It was an awesome experience. It is amazing how one person can deter us from using our gifts/talents. Bless you and so glad you sing with the choir now. I ended up singing with our choir (which had about 80 people at one point) for about five years. Unfortunately, I got in a car accident and hurt my back so standing on the risers was excruciating. We couldn't move around as there were so many of us so not easy to change positions. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story.
What an awesome video Fil. There are people who will be encouraged by it. I have never been tone deaf but I did have to go to speech therapy as a kid. You are a terrific teacher.
As someone who had a teacher tell her she couldn't sing when she was 7 years old, this video made me happy.
I have a voice degree and I have never had or known a vocal coach who taught in this way and it’s freaking amazing! Not only that, but it’s also the most encouraging introduction to singing or music in general that I’ve ever seen. You’re a born teacher, Fil! In life, not as your entire career!
As someone who studied O Level music (GSCE now) and really struggled with recognizing pitch and notes, I really appreciate this Fil. I studied music because I wanted to appreciate it more, but it was considered 'you can either do it, or you can't.
This is a beautiful way to show a person who thinks they are tone deaf how their talking voice travels or can travel across different pitches. The person can play with their voice recorded on a software line. All people can create beautiful sounds when they talk and when they learn to sing. Thank you for sharing your own personal story at the tail end…you are definitely not tone deaf. Rock Fil Henley!
I swear my phone laughed at me as I sang Solsbury Hill by the great Peter Gabriel, 😜. Seriously as I talk I'm between G2 and C3, as I sing I am all over the place I understand music, but alas I can't hold a note, except in my head.
That was really cool. I grew up in a home where my mom and dad were singers and I'm a singer with some classical training under my belt. But my brother and sister can't really sing at all. I'd say my brother is almost totally tone deaf BUT that doesn't stop him from singing at the top of his lungs in the car, still .... in his 40s ..... no matter who is around, LOL. So he's more of a singing *enthusiast* , I'd say, and nothing wrong with that!
My son is the same age. Can't carry a note in a bucket. Doesn't stop him from making a people's ears bleed. He loves music. I don't stop or critique him. Better than some of the new stuff on the radio.
I might have to try this. I've always had a good "ear," and sang opera in their children's chorus. But when my voice changed (yes, a female, around age 18), I stopped singing as much because I couldn't control the pitch like I used to. Since I still have a mini keyboard, it'd be interesting to play a note, see where it is on the monitor vs what I heard, and try to replicate it, as you suggested. Thanks for this! There was certainly none of this tech around when my voice deepened in the late '80s. Interestingly, I'm a minister now, and do a lot of public speaking. The opera background gave me amazing projection, so I don't need a mic, but it would be fun to, say, practice a wedding ceremony, and see where my pitch usually is, and maybe where it would sound better.
Adjusting the horizontal to the lower setting can also capture your upper and lower formats. Also, taking a breath in without tightening your throat, no noise, while opening your mouth a bit, will help naturally lift your pallet to not sing flat. Practice this while using the Vocal Pitch Monitor.
Hello Fil. This was not only informative, but fun to watch. Very cool app. I'll have to check it out. Thank you.
I wish these technologies had been available when I was in highschool choir. Very helpful.
Have a safe, blessed weekend...🎸🎵🙂
This video, I believe, will make a lot of people very happy! You are wonderful, as we have come to expect! How I wish my "voice teacher" had been able to show me something such as this when I was a very unhappy 13 year old! My entire life might have been just a little better, a little different. Thank you.
This is really cool, Fil. I believe you are right, that like learning language, people can learn to sing pitches with practice, encouragement, and tools like this app. I was surprised to hear that at one time your dad thought you might be tone deaf. You definitely learned the language of music, thankfully!
charlena here, i like to sing with my cd,s . some people tell me i can sing but i dont know. but it makes me happy.my family would tell that i have a pretty vouice.
Thank you for being such a cheerleader for singing and music!
I use pitch memory to sing songs without listening to it. It's how I remember where to start without knowing what note it's on. When I sing with the music and singer, I feel like I am matching my pitch to them, adjusting very quickly as I go. I downloaded this app and I can't wait to try it out! I've never heard myself sing via recording it. I know we sound different from inside our head. Like hearing ourselves on an answering machine.
I chuckle. My mother always claimed she had a great voice, then she heard herself on tape. (many, many years ago) She came to the ironclad conclusion that tape recording completely altered the sound of her voice, although it apparently had no effect on other people's voices. Yep, we hear ourselves differently from inside than outside our heads.
Incidentally, I never called my mom out on that. Hey, she's 98 now, and she can believe anything she wants.
@@tgbedini Makes me wonder why the folks on the auditions on American Idol can sound so bad when they think they sound so good! Lol! Glad I live alone. My cats haven't had to tell me how I sound!
@@kimdawcatgirl LOL. Yeah, those people are Dunning-Kreuger examples. If they had better ears, they would know they were bad. But if they had better ears, they wouldn't be so bad in the first place. But, honestly, you can improve by working at it, and I have.
Great video. When at College queued up to join the choir, we got tested by the music teacher by him hitting a symbol and then asked to sing the note, evidently failed as I didn't make the choir! From then always thought I couldn't sing. I did learn to play the keyboard and could recognize when a note is off; and thankfully I heard one person say some years ago, everyone can sing; and now this superb video explains exactly why!
I was 'tone deaf' and couldn't match any pitch with my voice reliably at about 25 and over several years developed a keen ear and strong command over my voice. Videos like yours have been a help along the way. Thanks for all the great content!
Excellent video Fil. In all the sight reading and vocal classes I have taught it never crossed my mind to use a pitch monitor. It is a game changer for those people who say they can not sing.
It can also be a game changer for people who think that they never hit a wrong note. 😎
@@tgbedini 😀👍
I'm definitely going to use this. I noticed when I first start a song I can tend to be more off. If I start over again it's better it's something about going in cold
Fascinating and so informative as always !!! Thank you, FIL !!Rock 🤟!!!
Vinh Giang talks about using our voice more effectively in his videos. Tonality is important when we communicate not just when we sing.
I’m not what I would consider “tone deaf” because I can recognize melodies and hear different tones in music. I can not sing on “on key” though. It really does seem like a foreign language. Thank you for this video.
Very cool video, Thanks Fil. I grew up in a musical family - so we were each others pitch monitors! We used to sing off pitch on purpose when we wanted to tease our Mom. Good times! This is cool though if you want to see it not just hear it and know. 🖤🤘
Loved this video! You make perfect sense. I always felt I couldn’t sing at all. Looks like I’m going to do some homework and find out!😀
I love, love, love this video. Expressing ourselves and exploring our experiences (whether through singing, writing, or some other creative pursuit) are so essential to our wellbeing, and we lose so much of ourselves and our joy when we take the judgements or worry about the judgements of others too much to heart. Thanks for the encouragement to play!
Odd story I know, but... everytime I make a cup of coffee I pitch my voice to whatever ambience is in the kitchen. It has good acoustics and often the vibration of the fridge freezer, or the hum of the microwave, inspires me to sing and I start with whatever pitch I hear and move from there. My microwave often sends me into a singthrough of Nutshell by Alice in Chains.
I used to do this with my hair dryer. It made a certain pitch, and I'd "hum" along with it until my hair was dry. Thought I was odd, but glad to hear others do the same thing!
What a great video, Fil! Although I've never wanted to learn to sing professionally, I love music, and learned to play piano in community college. We had to choose a classic to perform for the class and professor, so I chose Für Elise but went an extra step and re-wrote it in major (I think E if I remember right). This gave me props from the professor which was my goal in case my playing fell short, but it also gave the song a completely different feel.
Long story short, I think taking music theory or appreciation, piano, and so on types of courses can help with learning to recognize different pitches, and even what key something is in, or at least if it's major or minor. I plan to obtain a guitar soon as I've always wanted to learn that. It's challenging as I'm left-handed. However, despite the tablature method being the easiest way to learn from what I gather, it doesn't allow for much in the way of creativity. I believe learning from youtube videos may be my best bet as it will be a perfect mirror image for me! :)
Lastly (finally, he says lol) music is most definitely a language! I studied psychology in university for my degrees and was taught that it most certainly is a language. I even wrote a paper on it!
Thanks for your great videos, Fil!
It's a God-given miracle that I can still hear as good as I do. My old band played very loud and for years I listened to loud music over headphones. Thank you, FIL.
Ah, you are a luv! What a compassionate and transformative view! Thank you!
This brings back memories.. When we were having graduation practice for 8th grade (many decades ago), we rehearsed out graduation songs. The girl next to me was not only tone deaf, she was louder than a bus horn. It was throwing me off so badly I just started lip syncing but she was throwing everyone off. One day she wasn't there and I remember the music teacher being ecstatic that we finally sounded great. The next rehearsal she was back and mayhem again ensured. The teacher was so far back from the group (we were on stage) she never figured out it was Mary Ellen who was killing the hole program.
This was a fun, educational video. Thanks, Fil, for sharing this info with all of us. You are a great teacher!
I went to school with someone who actually was tone-deaf. We were in the same French & German classes. He could not distinguish the different inflections & tones. Everything he spoke sounded monotone because of that.
I'd say most people though are tone uneducated rather than truely tone deaf. Great video, Fil!
This tutorial with the pitch monitor was just great. Have joined a choir with challenging arrangements, so this will definitely help with my practice at home. Cheers😊
Superb, and timely as I'd love to improve my singing voice but simply don't know where to start. I was using my guitar tuner! I'd never had the confidence to really try singing because I couldn't even tune my guitar by ear.
Feel free to give more tips on singing. I know that there are specific channels on YT but we're here because we like your presentation of the subjects. Thanks a million!...
This is brilliant, Fil! Thank you! I'm a singer but it is a lesson in music and I learned a great deal. I'm so grateful!
After a lifetime of singing in Worship, leading still... gigs locally and charity performing and just my diversity of styles, I find the weirdest thing is that sometimes if melodies are close, and I am by myself I end up with some weird mash ups of lyrics and melodies... plus the music my family did had a very definite " style" so now I am finding a new direction... actually writing and coming up with my own songs. There is no greater life than a musical one! Fil you really have sparked more creative ideas.. and I never had much technology. Just a lifetime of homegrown music! 😊
Such a kind teacher.
I was hoping you’d you’d break into “do, a deer, a female deer, re, a drop of golden sun” 🎶 Awesome video!
Great video, thanks for making it so interactive! I'm going to end up playing with the app for hours.
This was so much fun to watch and a great way to learn how to sing. Thanks Fil for showing us how to use the vocal pitch monitor app ! 😊🎵
Great analogy with learning to talk as a young child. This makes it easier to understand how difficult it must be in the beginning, but yet how fluent anyone can become with practice. Anyone can learn music, and that's a great message to share.❤
Hey Fil, do you actually ❤ Comments yourself? It looks like the bots are hitting all the hearted comments to try and scam us.
It's not that I cant do it, it's that I'm flat! My problem is distinguishing one "noise" from another, if more than one person is speaking I cannot differentiate between the different voices add in the tinnitus and it's fun trying to hear someone speak and they are standing beside me. But I will give this a try... Thanks Fil 😃
I too was told I was tone deaf by our 4th grade music teacher. But when in my 20's a close friend was putting together a cover band to tour the eastern U.S., and asked if I could build them both a sound system & lighting system. After doing so, I showed them how to operate them. After showing them, they asked me to run them for them, of course I bulked (knowing per my music teacher I was tone deaf). Finally they did talk me into giving it a try while they played. They liked how I was able to keep both the sound & light systems in sync with the music, and asked that I go on the road with them. Unfortunately, having a family at the time, I had to decline. But when they would return to the area, I would operate the systems for them. It was a fun time, only wished I could've gone on the road with them.
I need this for my language students. They read with no intonation, just so flat. With this they can have something to give feedback so they can adjust and in turn help their speaking.
My teacher told me I couldn't sing when I was 11 years old. He gave me a 5 and said it was only because he doesn't give a 6 on auditions if you sing at all. But it would have been so bad that it should have been a 6. (In our country, 6 is the worst and 1 the best grade). I had really tried, but I was so nervous when I stood in front of the class.
Before, I loved to sing and loved music, but this teacher ruined it for me forever. But with tips like this, I have new hope - thank you very much, Fil!
brings back memories of 15 years old, I got a reel to reel tape recorder for Christmas. One day when I was home alone, I put on a Beatles album because I knew all the words to every song, turned on the tape and sang along. OMG! When I played it back I knew to NEVER EVER try to sing in front of people. 😵💫
Your instructional video was an absolute go-to for me. I was told I had perfect pitch because I'd taught myself how to play songs like "Who Will Buy" on the piano; hence my starting to take lessons at age 10. I downloaded the app yet its settings say that I'm a man--will try to fix again. Because I have asthma, I have to ensure there's about 12-13 seconds worth of breath to sing the note. I noticed the lines that you mentioned. Unless I missed your saying this, I couldn't help but notice that while you talked, different pitches(e.g. E, F#) kept flashing on top of the software). You clearly explained how music remains an international language and I agree with you infinite percent, for even the talking voice has pitches. In my opinion, the term tone deaf is nothing more than 2 four letter words. Many thanks for all you do, Fil! 🎸
Yes, I struggle. Great info! Thanks Fil!
Thank you, Fil. I'm Orthodox and all our services are beautifully sung. Was thinking of trying singing lessons but will start with this. Already downloaded the app!!!!
I am tone deaf.I downloaded the app and it's fun and I have the one like you.🤘
You're the best !!!
Wow. This app is gonna be really useful. I'll actually know what notes I'm singing. However, there is a guy at a local karaoke for whom no amount of tech or practice will ever improve his tuneless out of time screachings. I just wonder if what he hears sounds okay to him. (but to no-one else)
This was such a helpful video - thank you, Fil! And timely, too. I'm learning guitar and playing in an ensemble at the music school where I take lessons and was just asked if I wanted to help with backup singing. I can't sing (no singing experience/no practice) so I've been reluctant to do it but I downloaded the app and hope this will give me a start!
This is a cool new toy to place with. Thank you for this video. I can see how this app would be of value, not just for singing but also for speakers to learn to speak more expressively to engage their audience, whether they be students, board members or clients.
I've worked in kitchens, and we sing a lot. You can tell right away who is tone deaf, and who is not. I never judge them, because people sing when they are happy. I want people to be happy. I have a different experience, because my first words weren't "Mama" or "Dada", they were me singing along to The Who in the back of my parents Volkswagen bug, "Who-who, who-who". I'm one of those obnoxious people that sings all the time. I generally have between 1 and 3 songs stuck in my head at all times. I've at least been told I sing well, so I don't feel quite so bad.
I have zero singing talent, I know, but just to see the notes changing in my speaking voice was fascinating.
This is such an extremly helpful video to cure us tone-deaf folks, Fil! I've always been struggeling with pitch and your detailed presentation of the Pitch Monitor is a spark of hope I needed so much. Building up muscle memory will be my mindset from now on.
Your voice sounds amazing and your vibrato is top-notch! You rock!
No I'm not and I'm so happy that that's one of the few qualities I have ...seriously if you can't hear it, it's almost impossible to create music they may be able to play something, but not with anything technical as its almost impossible to tell the difference in musical pitch ( please look up tone deaf for those that don't know about it Cheers!) ....a great view & The great Tone in all you do, Fil Cheers.
That was quite convincing Kimi Raikkonen impersonation. :D
This is a fun and Informative video! I think I'll try it out! Thank you, Fil for explaining and demonstrating it for us!
Monotone talking is boring but you are not Fil. Love this video!
My Granddaughter has ADHD. I used to do something similar (before technology) having her hear the notes in a song she liked, on a piano. We did this to improve her attention span. She has since found her voice, singing confidently and proudly.
I used to be a pretty good singer when I was younger. I didn't sing around a lot of people but usually when someone over heard me they were shocked. In my 40s... my son and me would always try to guess songs that the other was humming the tune to. I was once really good at that. But then I was horrible and I would tell him that he was humming it wrong. Turned out that it was me, I was losing some of my hearing and I started hearing machine noises, static and other strange things. After almost a year of that, I went to bed one night when I was 48 or 49 yrs old... went to bed and woke up the next morning and could not hear ANYTHING. And I mean anything, not an annoying alarm clock. Not a siren. I could feel a gun shot but not really hear it. My ear drums still worked and reacted. If someone screamed near my ear because they were being stupid to test me.... it was painful. It was not normal hearing loss from being exposed to loud sounds.... or from aging. They could not really figure out what happened... so they blamed the fact that I have Lupus SLE. It is always the cause of things where they can't find another answer. It was important for me to know the cause because I have 2 sons and I would love to know that it ISNT hereditary. My hearing was too far gone for hearing aids. So II was able to get a cochlear implant. Took some getting used to hearing sound that way. Music is difficult for me. It is good that I have listened to so much in my lifetime.... I don't do well listening to new music but I do great with stuff that I have heard before.. especially favorites. Memory helps. I also do better if I am plugged directly into the source. I am getting ready to upgrade and have blue tooth. I am so grateful because without this device I would not hear anything. And I can't handle a world without music. Even though I don't get to hear it in stereo and I miss that. We all know that some songs need to be in stereo. But I am happy to be able to hear music... I know it could be worse because I went almost a year with no sound at all.
Three months later -- the app is now top of results for the search for "vocal pitch monitor." Your doing, Fil.
You are an excellent teacher Fil. The app, along with your explanation, is a great visual tool. The app helps to bring the abstract to life. This will be a fun app to download! By the way, I took 3 yrs of French in school, still can't speak a sentence😀✌️
@@A.Briggs628 How funny !! I can interpret a few words here and there, either through listening or reading, but I wouldn't be able to string a sentence together if my life depended on it!
Fil, I have been singing my entire life. Several years ago, I aced an online pitch test. While I do not have perfect pitch, I have respectable relative pitch. One of my composer classmates in university many years ago, routinely heard quarter-tone (and smaller intervals) notes. I could see him squirming during concert performances, as he (likely alone) was painfully experiencing the atonality. Poor guy. I just sat back and enjoyed the music.
I have the same problem as your buddy, I hear small drifting in pitch but I can tune it out so to speak when others are singing idk why. It deosnt really help when Im singing myself Because I hear every mistake I make and I think I sound like a wet twig you know
An interesting one, FIl. This engages two of our senses - to see what we hear - and using one to enhance the other. In addition to singing ability, this could also be a helpful tool for more effective public speaking.
I've never been told I was tone deaf. I've been playing guitar, singing and playing harmonica for about 60 years now. But I found this very interesting and think it may be very helpful to me. My struggle at 75 years old is to be able to sing the old songs I love to sing well, as my voice changes with age and becomes somewhat weaker. I've been able to handle it fairly well, doing things like seeing if a certain key might be better to sing a song in now than the key I may have sung the song in for most of my life and seeing where I can get away with taking a section of a song down an octave, which is occasionally a viable solution, but not always. I don't give up because some great singers, like Tony Bennett, have been able do some great performances well into old age despite some loss in range and lung capacity. I just need to keep working on how to stay expressive and learning not only how to work with my limitations, but also exactly what those limitations are, which the video has been extremely helpful in. Thanks very much Fil, and I'm going to get the app right now!
Such an amazing video Fil! Thank you!
Another great video Fil. I love the stories in the responses. Thank you so much!
Wow! This was great. I learned a lot in this video. Thanks, Fil, for doing this one. Take care.
I'm tone deaf but I know a great song when I hear it.
Mississippi by Pussycat
One of the best songs and greatest voice
Great vid Fil. As usual.
I learn so much from you. Thank you for all that you do!
Many people can hit the correct pitch when singing along to a song (at least if it's within your range), but I have known people who can't even do that. I don't think that's from a lack of practice or inexperience with music. My late husband played in band during his middle- and high-school years, so he obviously had some musical ability. But the man couldn't carry a tune in a bucket vocally. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
My hearing has perfect pitch but my singing voice doesn't. 😂
You still sawone and cool I like your video I think it cool like you buddy
Excellent video Phill. Really useful. Great way to get confidence in your own voice….
Oh wow!!! Thank you so much Fil for this! I joined a choir last week and I can see this helping me heaps. I know pretty much nothing about music, but love 'singing in the shower' type of thing. Professionally though I am starting from scratch. Thanks again!
So fascinating! I’ve always thought of my bad singing as being due to not being able to control my voice the way others can. I can hear even slight differences in pitch when people sing or play, can hear key changes, etc. and I played instruments easily as a kid. You would think I could sing but I can’t get my voice to match the notes and I can hear it myself.
I’ve always likened those who could naturally sing to those who are naturally physically coordinated. Some are and some aren’t. I’ve always very easily picked up sports like tennis or dances just by watching without much thought or effort at all. And I know plenty of people who struggle with that. Some of it is just innate. As it is with singing. But we can all learn and improve!
I recently starting watching your videos and I can't wait to try this myself. I enjoy all the analysis of voice, as well as hearing what you have to say about people playing the guitar and other instruments.
Thank you for pointing out this app. I think it will be a great help in figuring out what the current bout of COVID coughing has done to my vocal range, and where I need to put the work in. Gotta sing!
I bet that we can draw dirty pictures on that thing with our voice. Amazing! Thanks Fil!
Thank you for the app recomendation. There are so many out there, I balked at picking one. I got this one. And thanks for the other vids you've done also.
Have never been told I'm tone deaf, but love this video!
@wingsofpegasus__ Laughing!
Very interesting about tones. Always good to learn new things about music & other items. Thanks Fil😊🎙🎼✨️
Cool I was looking this. I’ll have to get my WOP shirt. This channel has kind of reignited my hope to play and sing one day.
i was a "good" singer and had 2 strokes (one on each side, 8 yrs apart.)
I lost all breath support, and diaphragm control.
This is an awesome tool, and technique to regain/maintain.
(Been singing in church to get better.)
Hi Fil, this video is awsome. I have downloaded the app you recommanded. As singer in a Choir, this will help me a lot to better control my voice . Thanks a lot Fil. You are fantastic.
Such a great video...thanks!
I had a friend at university that was tone deaf. Interestingly, he knew the lyrics to loads of songs, so he never stopped droning along to music. My guess was he didn't ever hear melody, he engaged the language post of his brain and only heard the lyrics. Meanwhile, I really have to work at lyrics, and it takes years, but I hear the melody straight away. I'm words deaf!
Man, what a fantastic idea for a video 👍🏻
I had similar experiences. (No Rock and roll, No long hair), but I would't give upon my guitar. After the military I joined a rock band exactly because it scared the crap out of me more in some ways (from grade school) to stand up and perform in front of people than toting a machine gun in harm's way. I think Fil Struck a chord with this episode!
Great video Fil. Vocal app is useful. I can sing quite well and great being able to see which notes I'm singing visually. Rock 🤘
