I actually don't know my exact range, but after doing scales and testing my limits all my friends tell me I'm a baritone.

Anyways, let me try to explain my singing situation as best I can:

I have identified my chest voice and head voice and always try to use my diaphram for support. While singing I usually throw in some vibrato to make sure I'm using my diaphram. I also try to stay relaxed (yet expressive) when I sing.

So I've got this problem... Whether I'm singing loud (both head voice and chest voice), it sounds a tad bit forced, like I'm using the back of my throat too much.

Now I don't believe I'm straining my voice, I just feel like it's either: a.) I'm using my throat wrong, b.) I'm forcing a little too much air out, or c.) something else.

I'm trying to sing as naturally as I can, I have no idea how this strange habit developed :(

My friends tell me I sound good and in tune, but a little off on the tone, and none of them can explain why.]]> Singing dudeguy https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-258295 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-257056 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 10:23:24 +0000 Singing Trev https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-257056 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-255966 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 15:05:39 +0000
Working through your breaks to get a smooth sound, singing head voice, breath support, playing in a key appropriate to your range, making use of the microphone and singing softly with plenty of air are all things to consider.

I'm a baritone and given enough time and practice I can sing pretty darn high.]]> Singing Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-255966 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-255953 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 08:26:26 +0000 Singing jewtemplar https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-255953 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-27053 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 06:36:19 +0000
Anyway, I just turned 21 and every day I'm experimenting with my voice, but I need a lot of advice from you baritones... So here's a couple questions:

1. How do you sing high notes at medium volume (not loud, but not soft)?

2. Were there any problems you had to overcome singing that you'd like to share? I'm also curious how you corrected them.

Thanks!]]> Singing dudeguy https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/baritone-singers-need-all-the-advice-i-can-get/#post-27053
