>tfw you just want to sing your songs but your voice is bad
If you sing with passion and emotion, you can have the worst voice in the world (which you don't) and still give a powerful performance
>>64135772
Don't worry anon just have fun.
>>64135917
this picture is comfy af d e s u s e n p a i
>>64135860
this is my philosophy desu
i can't sing for shit, half the time i literally sound like i have downs, but my theory is that if i write songs that are intensely personal and meaningful to me then i can sing them with enough passion and conviction to get a pass
>>64135772
>not making the indiest of rock
>>64135944
Thanks famalam
>>64135981
I guess I'm working on indie sort of stuff. but its supposed to be gentler, and voice just sounds so off.
your words are encouraging though guys
>>64135972
Yeah. I know everyone says this but it really is all about having the confidence and the conviction. The hardest part isn't about improving your voice: it's about having the confidence to accept what you have and present it to other people. You'll just sound better once you have confidence backing you up
>>64135917
would you say the same to a non-native speaker who understands or remembers very little of the lyrics and just fills in with stuff that is closest to what makes sense?
There are some albums/songs that i really feel like singing out and i feel that i enjoy them much more when I join in with the singer in my headphones.
I do this alone obviously but feel like an uncool idiot..
>>64136083
the stuff that i can remember/understand i sometimes want to sing most since i feel that it allows one to give oneself completely to the feel of the music.
>>64136083
If you're doing it alone then just have fun and sing your heart out. No one's there so don't think about it. If you can't get that out of your head then I'm sorry because you are missing out. I still live with my parents and they always have people over, but I still sing and have fun. It feels good to not give a shit.
>>64135860
just autotune that shit
Future does it and a ton of people actually like or pretend to like his shit
>>64136083
And trust me I sound like shit.
>>64136269
>>64136319
>it feels good to not give a shit
I agree senpai. slowly trying to do that. how do your parents react when they hear you singing in your room? or do they not care?
>>64136340
They don't really care, I've always been out there and they know that I don't give a shit either. They think it's really weird that I'm nervous and quiet outside of home. I'm trying to be more social outside of home and going out with friends when I can.
>>64136340
Same guy, I remember when my mom went in my room and she joined me in singing Turn into something by anco. We started to dance too, it was fun
>>64136464
Is your mom cute?
>>64136519
She looks good for her age, so I guess yeah...
>>64136294
Don't autotune it removes the authenticity
Anyways strained voices often sound more pained and authentic like Daniel Johnston so the worse the better
>>64136407
>>64136464
thanks. I think i'll try to stop worrying a bit less now. i think even my parents wouldn't mind if they accidentally heard me.
anyway, suggest something good by animal collective (apart from merriweather post pavilion) ?
>>64136701
I really like Feels, it's really fun to sing in my opinion. If you like PW then that too. To me their older stuff, anything before Feels, is pretty difficult to sing. Hope this helps and have fun singing OP.
>>64135772
Practice. There are almost no bad singers. Only untrained singers.
>>64135772
>>>64135772
>Practice. There are almost no bad singers. Only untrained singers.
I agree
>>64135772
This is why I became a rapper. Not one of those singy fuck rappers either.
>>64135860
This
If Rivers Cuomo can be a frontman you can too anon
>>64136054
Ever heard of Modest Mouse? Indie rock doesn't have to have soft vocals.

>tfw you wanted to be a guitarist but you were a child prodigy pianist instead
>>64137427
I wish could play both of those instruments. I play the vibraphone.
>>64136659
literally nobody cares anymore anyway. You can be a singer who can't sing or a rapper that can't even say words in time to the music. Or is too lazy too
>>64135860
Grimes though
>>64137477
vibraphone is pretty based if youre good at it. i auditioned to play mallets for a drum corps but got turned down
>>64137565
I'm OK but not amazing. I started playing late last year. It's the first instrument I've ever played so I had to learn how to read music as well. It is fun tho.
>>64137565
I'm probably still at beginner level at playing the vibes, but I'm good at beginner level things if that even makes sense.
>>64136856
this is so important though
>>64135772
>tfw you can sing your songs because you are in an honors choir
>>64136938
I love rivers voice though
>>64136319
where is this
>>64136701
>>64136788
Singing along to golden gal is very fun imo desu
>>64138664
hell yes
>>64135772
>tfw you had a a good singing voice until puberty hit
You have to find music that fits your voice, the voice from the singer of protomartyr is shit but it fits the music pretty well
>grow up imitating devin townsend so now i have a crazy range and can sing operatically
i believe singing while the voice is still developing is key to having a good voice
>>64138922
nice rangewanking. i'm waiting for the obligatory my range is C1-C8!
also, david townsend's range isn't that big. lots off weak whistle sreams. if you want to listen to singers with a large range, try fucking M. Shadows from fucking a7x of all things. dude's got a 3.5 octave chest range.
>>64135772
pretty much the same problem op.
and my problem is also I live with my parents, I go to the bathrooms and rec, then I edit on ableton in my pc :^)
try with that, tell me the way you sing and I will help B)
>>64139246
ha. I live at my parents too. Im in grad school so I dont get a lot of time especially time when no one is around, so I dont get much practice in, which doesnt help
>>64138739
I thought it looked like san Francisco at first
>>64138740
>>64138835
>Tfw you have no one to sing along to anco with
>>64139642
No I don't, but I visited a few weeks ago. It is quite nice but Im happy living where I am now
>>64139685
That sounds like fun. My mom enjoys anco (and a lot of other stuff I listen to) but she's tone deaf and is bad at remembering lyrics
>>64139729
Currently living in los angeles. How about you?
>>64135860
aka the will toledo metheod
>>64139838
Where exactly? I grew up in south central but eventually moved a bit farther away
>>64135772
mate, some of the most prominent front men in history have sounded like utter shit
johnny rotten
kurt cobain
Jay Mascis
all sound like twisted garbage, but they work it. Stop bieng a pleb
here's me singing fyi
https://clyp.it/lepikvw3
if you think this sounds worse than you, you have no excuse
>>64139947
Oh shit I live in gardena
>>64139960
I accidentally responded to myself >>64140018
>>64140063
Yeah I know haha. Did you end up going to the anco show at the Fonda?
>>64140012
your voice is bad but I like it desu
I always look to Nick Cave when thinking about this. Wasn't the best singer but knew how to use his voice and eventually matured into a great singer.
Try and relax your throat, it'll help improve you sound.
Put your hand on your neck as you sing, to see if you're straining at all.
>>64140113
Yeah I did. I made eye contact with avey while ratking was playing and immediately looked away because I felt embarrassed and rude
>>64140232
what do you mean by "too young"
>>64140480
oh man
show wasnt 18+ or anything. how old even are you
>Tfw for every passable tune you write, your insanely gifted friend writes 3 exponentially better ones.
>>64140617
get b& faggot
>>64140617

>>64140480
W E W
>>64140731
My lastfm is biggakiller. I made it like two days ago so don't judge pls. My Skype name is the same
>>64141082
alex?
>tfw no musical training or theory knowledge whatsoever but can still create compositions in my head of greater complexity and originality than 99% of recorded music by so-called "professionals"
>>64141539
Ideas alone ain't worth shit
stop wanking
>>64135772
You can learn or be taught to have vocal skills
>>64135860
Phil Elverum?
>>64140735
I am but he always one ups me on hiss own it's kind of cool actually.
>>64141539
wow dude you are really cool
>>64135772
didn't stop Bob Dylan or Roger Waters
