improve my voice

I used to be really quiet. I would sing well but it just wouldn’t come out. The day I just sang out as loud as I could so many things opened up. Also, don’t try to do a range that you cannot actually do. I was a soprano half my singing career so far but I found out that I’m more suited for alto. I’m so glad I am because high notes are annoying to me when they aren’t on trumpet. ;D
(You can look at my ‘i’ve done this’ if you’d like a bit more I suppose…)

I discovered there is a voice and diction class at my community college. I do not think I really have the time to take the class next semester, but would consider it. I do not know if there would be much homework involved. It would be considerably cheaper than private coaching.

Something I can consciously work on before then is my projection (a.k.a. I’m loud). I also raise my voice so that I am shouting often, not angrily just speaking too loudly. I believe it comes across uncouth. I will try to keep track of this in the up coming days.

My voice is utterly unattractive. Speaking louder and clearer is better, but unfortunately I’m wearing a plate for a few weeks that is very awkward to speak it (lisp, et cetera).

My problem is I have a low voice and don’t project well. Also unless I really concentrate or am emotional my voice does not variate much and comes out monotone. I need to put more air behind my voice and focus on being more expressive.

Did voice practice twice today!! Will start practicing at the church when I move into an apartment.

Hi my name is Raj. I am fourteen years old and i want to improve my voice becaue people sat that i talk like a baby or a girl and realy feel bad.

This just might not make the cut this weekend. It’s nice, and I’ll do it for fun (e.g. choir) but it’s not really a priority, unless I change my values.

Project (forward)
Enunciate (with clarity)
Open (jaw)
Present (an attractive expression)
Learn (techniques)
Everyday

PEOPLE! =D

What a random thought.

Signed up for choir next quarter!

Also using / will be using Lessac techniques. Thanks to the library for having his book! The Use and Training of the Human Voice I think it’s called.

And my 5th grade teacher would speak softly so that a person would have to try and hear them. It gets listeners to lean in and pay attetion. Also Jackie O. Would drag out her sss and such for a more sensual tone. I would like to incorperate this.
