Wonderful to see such a detailed run down!
I scrolled straight to the singing part to see if there were any nuggets of wisdom. I've been singing with a teacher for 6 months and it still seems impossible. Everything is so indirect and there is no obvious path to getting better.
Are there any people here who have improved their singing skills significantly? What did you do?
- jongold 7y agoYup! I went from "I don't even sing karaoke or sing in the shower" to really liking my voice, performing super comfortably in public & preparing to record my first studio EP. I guess it's been 3-4 years at this point. I had a musical background which definitely helped, but the main thing is I desperately wanted to be able to sing. The main thing you can do is take weekly vocal lessons with a good vocal teacher who you vibe with and practice every day. I didn't have lessons for that whole time, but the periods where I have had a teacher I got better quicker way better than when I just practiced by myself. The cool thing is that singing unlocks songwriting, and songwriting is absolutely transformative as a self-care practice. It's also infinitely more fun to sing your own songs than covers. But also performing your own songs gives you a drive to get better at singing. Virtuous cycle. edit: here's a recent song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrd7Uvm2h00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrd7Uvm2h00
