@jamesmarshall@sfba.social I don't have money for vocal training, so I hope I don't damage my voice doing too much/learning bad vocal techniques, but I have recently gotten over my fear of karaoke and I must admit I had a blast... It made me want to actually sing more 😅 (Also I've been watching schitts creek and there may or may not be like a singing group in that show and that may or may not have put ideas in my head. But I'm getting ahead of myself bc I don't think I'm any good yet 😳😭)

@Tzipporah@turtleisland.social something that helped me was to get a mic on a stand, a way to mix your voice with music from streaming/CDs/etc., and headphones to listen to that mix as you sing. The headphones really help you hear how you sound.

@Tzipporah@turtleisland.social I might be defeating the point of this thread, but…I’ve often taught singing* over Jitsi Meet for any price the student likes, and I’d be happy to do it again 🙂 (Unfortunately, I don’t have any recordings of myself singing…) *the European classical/operatic kind; also, reading/writing staff notation, theory, sight singing, aural training, and a bit of basic keyboard or guitar (whatever you have on hand) for you to accompany yourself on.
