Good thing is that you are willing to try. Hopefully, you will slowly get the pitching right and work around your timing.

One way to improve your pitching is to practise with an instrument. Play 1 note and then sing that note. When you find that you can hit the correct pitch most of the time, you have succeed.

For the timing, you got to breath at the correct place. If you are out of air, you tends to rush the next line. I think you know the songs pretty well, just need to practise with perfecting in mind.

Thanks,

anyway.

I don't know whether to believe some other people comment in pointing out all the tune in this song were off. Should i believe this? Or maybe my hearing is having problem thus lead to receiving the tune in memory wrongly and producing wrong note.

Or is it cause i sound in the wrong octave for the full song? Or was it the natural of my voice but still sound in the right octave except the pitching for quite some note is off.

LOL.

Hi jianrong,

The first thing I notice in your recording is your voice has a "dopey" sound, as if you are lowering your larynx. I would like to hear a more balanced sound (if you want some idea on how to achieve that, ask me).

The second thing is you sound a bit less staccato than previous recordings, that's good! But still too staccato.

At 1:04 your voice seems to die out. Is that the top of your comfortable range? Same again at 1:20, and the higher notes are barely audible.

I think your pitch problems might be more due to technique than recognizing pitch. Once you're comfortable singing the notes, it's much easier to get them on pitch. Particularly those long (non-staccato) notes.

Keep at it!

Well, i remember Daniel say that word dopey long ago. But that time i cant display that to him. And i didn't know my starting sound dopey. Thanks for pointing that out. Seem like a good step of improvement to correct my strain?

Well, actually some times back when i go karaoke, i stop minus the key. All male song i would try original key. Because since minus key I would also sound flat. Why not build on original key and hope for my range to be wide and firm, instead of shaky flat.

I try to develop my own style of singing by inputing yawning,crying those sadness feeling. And i discover i was able to sing original key better, not like last time, totally can't. Though it was still out of tune.

You should just drop the key.. Its too high within ur range.
Not sure if it's me but the way you're singing sounds very uncomfortable and you didn't catch the way the song should be expressed especially the parts where the words come in 3s "
不是我，爱太多，想太多

Chorus too many flats...

+not sure if you're trying to have XJT's style by being slow half a beat .. but you're off beat most of the times.

Got lots of room for improvement but it's good effort!

answered u in yer utube videos ehhe

Teehee, went ktv with him. Actually you can sound good, try singing songs within your comfortable range then work from there.

Range is of course a plus point, but, no matter what, sounding good is the bottomline of music!

Jiayou ah! I'm sure one day your efforts will pay off, don't give up!!

Definitely, I'm not that good either.. So maybe if you want you can just forget what I have just said haha.

Well dopey is good for training. If you can stay dopey (or hollow) as you sing higher notes, you can keep your larynx from rising. But it doesn't sound good when actually singing a song.

The way "dopey" is used in SLS is that if your larynx rises, then you do some "dopey" exercises for a while. Once it is stable, you drop the dopey sound and you get a natural sound.

"crying" is also something which lowers the larynx .. too much of it and you'll get the "dopey" sound. It's great for training, but sounds odd when singing. I think it's better to get a solid and natural sound first, followed by adding the effects.

Ytd went ktv with my friends. They actually said sometime back my singing is better. In a way, sound natural when i was singing some ah du song. o_0```

They said my voice sound way too compressed. As in trying to push the voice down. And use more strength in singing. Which is not good.

I remember one of my pro friend said singing try not to use more strength.

 

[btherl]

Natural is always better Unless you're doing a specific style like opera, which needs to be a little unnatural.

I'm not sure what they mean by "compressed". It's easy to misinterpret words when used to describe singing. I'm guessing that the "pushing down" is the low larynx though, also giving the dopey sound.

You know, I spent many years trying to improve my voice without guidance .. but I just made it worse and worse. My range dropped and my voice got more and more tense. The only way I could learn to sing was taking lessons from a good teacher.
