Great question Hans, it's because you're focusing on the technique and the control. We need to train this into our bodies with practice so that once it becomes habitual we can let go, trust our voice and express the emotion when performing. I might have to do a video on this! Thanks for the suggestion. :)

I’ve noticed that it’s a small thing. If you focus on singing from “the back of your throat” you will naturally sound more flowingly sing-songy instead, that’s where you’re supposed to sing through when it’s coming out of your throat, if that makes sense. However, this will make it more challenging to exercise perfect control.

You're so welcome, I'm really glad it helped get you the sound you were after! A lot of people feel uncomfortable opening their mouths like that. It's often linked to identifying as being shy, a fear of being heard or an experience of being told off for being loud or speaking their mind when they were younger. Does that resonate with you at all?

Thanks, I've always had problems with opening my mouth more when I speak in English (not my mother tongue) that’s why I stick to songs that I can sing with a deeper pitch because when I go up an octave I feel like that’s not my actual voice and it sounds like a girl voice instead or sum that does not sound like it fits the song but with this I can try and sing some other stuff and playing more with my voice :)

Hello, thanks for taking the time to comment! You're certainly not alone in not knowing how to navigate some of those higher notes (and feeling like it's not your real voice). We don't tend to speak in higher pitches in our day to day life so it's something we begin to learn and become familiar with. Sometimes being a little silly and speaking like a cartoon character can help us find a hybrid between our normal speaking voice and something sweeter and more "sing-y".

in my head I sound like myles kennedy, a very full sound with lots of distortion when it's required but can clean up beautifully, when i record myself, it is clear that I do not sound like that, it sounds like I'm trying to sing when someone's sleeping next to me, it sounds like i'm very quiet, but I know I have a very loud voice, I've sung before at gigs whilst drumming with no mic and can be heard at the back of the venue. The distortion is also different, it's definitely there when i record myself, but it sounds like vocal when you wake up in the morning and ur voice is very deep and croaky (men anyway) also my voice is very shaky when holding one note, but when moving the pitch around it stays strong

It will help so much if you know what sound you would like to create. Maybe feel into the emotion of the song and let that guide you? Feel free to reach out if I can be of any more help!
