Master Your Voice Singing Course: ramseyvoice.com/special-offer

I did quit singing, for many many years. It was mostly life hardships that derailed my singing. I always wanted to get back into it but never really acted upon that desire. And then, the pandemic hit. Some guys I was in a band with way back in another life, reached out and asked if I'd like to do a quarantine video. I said "I'd love to." That ignited the flame. I stated practicing for the song and in a couple of weeks we had a video. It's was ok, but I really wanted to be better. So, I started the whole KZfaq search for tips. I came across a teacher a really liked and reached out after doing some of his drills for a number of weeks. It's been over 2 years I've been his student and, I'm loving the progress! Singing is so much more enjoyable when you're technique is good. Singing was always uncomfortable for me because i was yelling, pushing and screaming. Now it's so pleasurable and my range is through the roof! I wish I had never quit but, I'm trying to only look forward. Seeing artists like Paul Rodgers, Steven Tyler, Billy idol and John Farnham still crushing it in their 70s helps me feel I could still have a few decades of singing ahead of me!

"There are always a million reasons not to do something" SO true!! We cant let the fear of doing something new and not seeing progress immediately stop us from trying!

I quit singing for several years due to periods of depression, an increasing lack of confidence in myself, and certain health issues. Another reason is that I became disillusioned when I observed my vocal range change from being able to hit high notes, to straining my voice with those same high notes over time. I decided to change this pattern when I found your website on Google, then coming to find you here on KZfaq. So, I started singing around the house and recognized that I haven't lost my voice after all. Today is the beginning of a wonderful journey in rediscovering my voice!

I got the warmup course first and it took me 5 weeks before I could do the 30 minute warmup every day. I'm looking for the long game and at 62 years old it's something on my life bucket list; being able to sing the songs I want and enjoy my own voice. Thanks Matt.

Love your channel- I sang when I was young - quit because I have a child and raise her on my own - turns out she loves to sing now that she’s grown I’m trying again

Singing always finds its way back because the music never stops

I joke that I was born singing, lol, I can remember singing at 2-3years old- I'm now 51, so that's a LONG time😂 When I was young I wanted to sound pretty- I was naturally gifted with excellent pitch and timing and my father was a musician, so there was a lot of music growing up. I was fascinated when I heard him sing harmony with me when I was in 1st grade, and when he couldn't explain how he did it, I made it a mission to figure it out so I could be like dad😊 This was back in the 70's, there was no radio in our car, so I sang to myself constantly- I would sing close to the window glass because I could hear myself better( before I figured out the ear cup trick😁) and even at that young age my dad was amazed at the accuracy of my pitch. I spent all of my youth trying to sing pretty, sang a lot of styles of music, including more serious music like Phantom and some German and Italian opera pieces. I sang with my husband's band for several years, till I got tired of being a starving musician, lol, and concentrated on my business. Many years passed with only singing to myself or with the radio, then I had a life changing experience in 2017 and ended up getting back to music. I was amazed at the difference in my voice- I lost almost an octave of my range, and went from alto range to contralto! I love many kinds of music but the last 4 years I've been working on music for Renaissance festival- I had a unique idea for a fantasy act and taught myself to play guitar so I could accompany myself out there( can't drag the piano to Ren Faire, lol😂) and I found Filk-all that was the best thing that ever happened to me, because it taught me that being a really good singer isn't about sounding PRETTY, it's about sounding APPROPRIATE! I realized listening to all the filk singers that you can have perfect pitch/ timing/etc, but if you don't sound APPROPRIATE, it doesn't matter! The biggest example of this was when I learned Me and Bobby Mcgee ( not for Ren Faire, lol) and in listening to every version I could find on you tube, realized no one sold that song the way Janis Joplin did- and even though I don't like her voice, it's the RIGHT one for that story! Nana Mouskouri also recorded that song and even though she has a BEAUTIFUL voice, it was TERRIBLE! She sings it like it's opera- it's NOT the APPROPRIATE voice to use in that song! So that opened up a whole new level for me and I can now connect to and sing styles of music I couldn't before!😁

"Look at where you want the ball to go" - hear the tone and timbre you want in your head and your body will naturally move toward producing it. Works with pretty much any instrument

Thank you Matt! I really appreciate all the encouragement you just gave! Keep up the good work! God bless you .🙏 ❤

Hi Matt, where have you been? Hope you are well. You are missed.

Going to sign up with you for lessons. 😊 I don't think anybody is too old to learn how to sing. We recently saw Chicago play at the Xfinity theater and those guys are in their late 60s. Granted, They've been singing for years but they still sound amazing.

Ye that's right, my first rule is never quit (bc it look imp to improve or get over [Also the life])

Magnificent sharing 👍 I really appreciate your work ✌ Good job. May God fill your life with joy and happiness 😊

I see a ton of videos about singing really high or really low but not any about singing better in chest voice. I started singing just to sing emo songs that have extremely high vocals not a note below A4. And now I really struggle with my chest voice. I can sing really high really effortlessly but when it comes to just speaking level notes it just becomes a pain in the back

...magnificent speech, my very dear friend Matt, magnificent... ....thanks a lot for it!!! 👏👏👏🎶🎵🎤🎭🎤🎵🎶👏👏👏

I got back into singing to help control my mania. I'm bipolar and singing helps level me out. I been watching your video's. Ive sang from 2nd grade until i graduated (10 years roughly). Ive forgotten so much. TY for your content. My favorite part of what u taught me is middle c and i feel so dumb lol but it clicked and boom im playing piano and singing.

Several video 💡 IDEAS 💡 : “you HAVE to do this/these things if you want to protect your voice/range/tone from XYZ etc.. there are so many combinations. Or do you happen to have a playlist?

Your channel is very helpful

Also want to add…the main issue with SLS is your entire tone changes when you hit the bridge. It’s still connected….but the base of the voice is gone. At that point…is you are making nasal tones with some underlying connection. There are better ways to navigate the break using open throat, air, tongue positioning and laryngeal tilt that result in big full rich higher notes that keep the fundamental tone intact. Look at Pavarotti for example. Male opera singers for the most part have one register. There’s no break. There’s no bridge transition where their entire tone becomes this weird nasal sounding connection

I've been taking vocal lessons for 5 years, spending on them almost 1/3 yearly income:) and I got a lot better but stil can't get rid of tension at high notes. It's psychologycal thing for me. I am not that great at feeling my vocal muscles.. And that slows down my progress so much. Almost at the brink of quitting it all together

Thnks 4 this video

Matt, I'm 51 and I love to sing. I definitely don't think I'm too old to sing. I want to learn how to do it properly so I've decided to watch your videos. I don't want to be famous or anything but I do want to turn it into something lucrative while also making a hobby out of it. Singing in Spanish seems easier for me, by the way, but I can also do it in English. Could I send you demos so you tell me what you think and where I can improve? I would love your feedback. Let me know if yes and where. Thanks.

I have a request for you Ramsey. There are certain songs where I cannot find a good key. I find a key where the verse is comfy and then the chorus is too high etc. tips or ideas?

how do you sing like this guy? tutorial on it please?

Hey Matt! Just found your channel, I took vocal lessons in my teens, about 20 yrs ago. I "lost" all my ability and would like to start back up again. What would you say is the right place to start? Thank you, Michaela

I have this app help me sing much better. The name of the app is simple sing .Simple sing is app listening to your voice get feedback . Tall you on pitch and tell how good is your times and tell how many notes you get at ending of every song on the app . You can sing your favorite artist dong. You can try yourself. Download. Simply sing and tell me is helpful who people sing much better.

Hey Ramsey, Im taking vocal lessons from a professional vocal coach and we're currently trying to reach around an A4-A#4 and he says that I've to lower my larynx, but when I do so I start to feel tension in basically everywhere. I am able to reach those notes with a slightly higher larynx, what would your advice be?

I am about to quit singing. My voice was so much better and I thought I am going to have it until this stupid flu got in and destroy my larynx. A month ago I was still able to belt out a decent C5 and my E5 makes me goosebump myself. Now after recovery it's all back to square 1 with this hoarse G4 again. I was hoping stop singing for 2 weeks will help it recover but it is not recovering. Is puberty just hit me at the age of 32 again?

I don't know who to ask I'm not good at singing but I love singing so i followed your videos but i feel like I still am not getting better. What should I do? 🥺 should I quit? I don't understand where am I going wrong. Still can't vibrate my voice

Was just wondering, my chest voice range is E2-D3 then I flip to falsetto at E3 and can go up to E5 with mix. Is it possible for me to increase my chest voice range by an octave to D4 or by two octaves to D5? So that I can hit D4 or D5 with pure chest without falsetto or mix?

hello ramseyy, just asking if you could react to this song 张杰《身骑白马》because it is really goood in my opinion and also it is kinda viral right now, i really love your channel and looking forward to more of your reaction videos

You should react to Jakub Orlinski singing Vedro con mio diletto. He is a better countertenor than Dimash. You heard me

help me im from the Philippines i want to improve my voice

Please listen to can't help falling in love by Diana Ankudinova. Do you remember her? Diana Ankudinova 18y.o.

Please Ramsey am from Nigeria Am 19 years old and am really really struggling with singing I go as low as C2 with great effort and as high as F5 with great effort too But when ever am on stage to sing I always flip on the fourth octave Please I need help please

"You are a great singer now!" Lol

I have question? So is Gums bad for singer or not ?

My vocal range is Ab2-C#4. Am I a baritone?

I’m at that point lol. By the way trying to enter your registration site keeps giving me unsafe to enter warning (phishing warning)

any body know why he has not uploaded in such a long time? is he ok?

Why your not active in your youtube againe?

@5:20 Y'know... I've been curious what a vocal coach's take might be on public/popular artists who've been in the business for decades. Kinda like a time-based analysis. For example: Justin Bieber has been in the spotlight since his tween years, but had an apparently uninterrupted career. Did expert shepherd him through the awkward years with grace? Michael Jackson, the Hansen boys, Aaron Carter, Ashlee Simpson? I think it could be a fruitful field of inquiry/biography.

I actually quit singing for personal choice, I'm not going to come back anymore

Seems you quit? I suggest you do a reaction vid to Ren - Hi Ren

I have a question about this song kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLNgksiKms-6Z30.html What she did at the ending of the song

Why did you quit youtube?

PLEASE REACT AINA ABDUL COVER I SURRENDER,EASY ON ME,HERE'S YOUR PERFECT,DRIVERS LICENSE,RECKLESS,ALL BY MYSELF😍🥰😍🥰😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

im not sure if i sound good LOL

Yeah, Justin Guarini, who finished second to Kelly Clarkson, was such a success as a singer, am I right? I think those Dr. Pepper commercials where he plays as Lil Sweet, is the only thing I've heard of him doing since his time on Idol, which was like 20 years ago.

Is bro still alive?

Jesus loves you.🙂

Why don’t you post any videos of you actually singing an entire song? The proof is in the pudding. To be honest…you don’t sound great when singing the line or 2 you randomly do here and there. Let’s here an actual song you sing. Otherwise…it’s hard to trust your factory assembly line SLS teaching certificate.
