i really want to learn to sing

[oak sonnet]

hi i mainly joined this because I really love to sing but I want it to sound good, all of my friends are musically inclined when it comes to singing but when i try my voice cracks or im not in tune and a bunch of other disasters. if anyone could help I would appreciate it

Hallo! I'm a (slightly good) singer myself and i do have lots of disasters too. One of my biggest advice is ALWAYS be hydrated when you sing. It's like oiling a door, if you dont, then it creaks like crazy. I hope that helps a little! You can dm me if you want. I'm not a great teacher tho...

OKAY thank you i will try that!!

[dark orbit]

If you need more help my dms are open!

(I feel like that advice was a little underwhelming)

[oak sonnet]

hey sweetie! I actually had three vocal coaches so if u want i can totally help u with exersises. dont try and do high notes without warming up your voice because otherwise girl you are just going to strain and hurt your vocal cords

[oak sonnet]
