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

Really needed this. Thank you sir, my first ever video of you & I already respect you for this no beating around the bush reminder that singing is hard at all levels & it’s a never ending passionate grind that I want to continue for no one else but my own approval. I’ll stop when I sound good to ME 🔥💯

This is the perfect timing. Right now I go trough that phase and it is really difficult since I am really critical to myself. I expect maybe too much from myself cause I wanna be better than I am right know. But no matter how much I struggle I know that I will succeed. Maybe later than I want to. But one day I will succeed.

For myself, I knew I needed to keep singing and to find an outlet for it 40 years ago. I found that by learning guitar three years ago, learning a few hundred songs 🤣 with more all the time and then offering to lead contemporary songs for worship at my church every Sunday. I’m gratified when someone says they enjoyed a song or tells me I sing like an angel, but my focus has turned inward to worshipping God and being God’s instrument or conduit for the congregation. You would think that would be unbearable pressure, but it isn’t. I’m really just singing to God. Simple and fulfilling. Sing for something, some reason that is fundamentally necessary to you. You won’t be disappointed.

i just started learning how to sing on my own(no coach) this week and i needed this fr, i doubt myself a lot and i always feel like i'm doing the exercises wrong especially that my voice is cracky and i can't breathe well, thanks for the reminder i'll do my best 💗💗😩

There is something great about being able to say, ok , maybe I didn't do it all today....but tomorrow is always there.And tomorrow I will appreciate and build on what I did today.

LOVE THIS! probably like everybody else commenting on here It feels like you were aware of my current situation and speaking directly to me. first time since I started this crazy awesome journey of dedicating my life to singing/screaming about 3 years ago I actually had a thought of if it was worth it despite the fact I have learned SO MUCH from channels like yours, AND FROM YOURS!!!! every teacher has strengths and I have a feeling your strength would be to find the flaws and know how to fix them??! That's what I see and that's got to be one of the best if not the best quality. I got sick recently In the chest and sinus areas and I'm over it now but, it's two full weeks I had absolutely no practice and it took another week to be able to practice! I feel like there's always a little bit of phlegm on my cords or in my chest, that last little bit I can't get out and when I have (ONCE.... ONE FREAKING TIME) gotten it all out I sounded better and clearer than my dreams could have foretold! Is this normal? should I practice when I'm sick, I know I did one time and it made me three times sicker! like it opened up more areas of my throat lol, which is exactly what I feel like you do when you sing. I also would like to know my actual range, I have many questions lol

Playing an instrument and singing has always been really hard for me!!

So kind and generous of you to share your authentic experiences. We all have these same feeling but often scared to admit it. I’m glad I subbed and came across this today

Thanks! This video helped me so much

I really appreciate the nonexistent editing and top 10 stuff,I've been trying to train my singing voice for the past year or so and honestly I can't tell if it's getting better or worse,My breath control definitely got worse,can't say I'm planning to quit but i gotta say I'm losing motivation rapidly from that

THANK YOU THANK YOU! On the upside, I wear an above knee prosthesis. (I've been without my foot and ankle all my life but the above knee amputation has only been since Aug 2, 2021) and I've struggled greatly with getting used to it and my goal is to walk normal again and even more so, dance again. I was a dancer all my life until an accident where I broke my femur and a surgeon really messed me up in his attempt at "repairing" said fracture. Anyway, I know this doesn't involve singing and may seem like an odd or way out of place or off topic thing to say but your advice (the three tips) has actually encouraged and motivated me when it comes to getting to reaching my goals with this prosthesis as stated above, and the reason I agreed to an above knee amputation in the first place (To get off crutches and out of the wheelchair which my accident left me on/in for seven years before this amputation, and get back to normal). In the beginning of this journey I thought that like with my below knee prosthesis I'd be able to basically put it on with a little practice just get up and go since I'd walked on one all my life. But an above knee prosthesis is a whole other beast. For example you have to learn to trust a computerized knee that you personally have no control over, and It's been a struggle. To the point of telling myself what's the point, you'll never get there. But your tips have actually made me realize it is one step at a time. So thank you for that.

I still don't like my voice but my 5yrs old gran daughter does she heard me sing this song I rote and I recorded it on my phone and she be like trying to sing like me it sounds like pretty ruff I said I need to work on my voice some more so I'm practice some more and listen to some more of your videos thank you so much for those inspirational words from 63yrs old just now trying to learn how to sing ❤️

I think being in a motivational singing community is the best way to overcome the fear of singing.

You are the best singing coach I have ever seen! Thank you for this video!What I'm struggling with is hitting the field. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you don't. Please help me how I can improve my hearing?

What a brilliant video, Matt! Thank you so much for that! I've been singing for about 3 years. Took lessons for 2 and now I'm kind of going on my own. I loved what you said about one day you feel like a rockstar and the next one it feels like you don't even know what you're doing. I'm on that hit or miss phase, you know? I'm definitely thinking about buying your course specially because of the assessment. I'd love to hear what you have to say about my singing voice and also give me the roadmap to become a better singer. Love your content! Keep 'em coming! Cheers from Brazil!

This was very helpful 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much. I literally was in need of this kinda video... So, recently I had my exams and so in order to prepare for it I took break from singing for like 2 months and now I feel like I've lost my voice.... But after watching this video I feel like not to give up and keep pursuing my dreams

I think about that all the time, if singing were easy it would be boring and there would be no sense of fulfillment for achieving anything

Gosh this whole it's not the destination but the journey vibe is really on point ! You have to work work and work on something if you really want to be proud and happy with the result. I'll just add... Keep it light and have some fun with it ! Strength and honor for all the singers out there 😘

THANK YOU! We all need to be inspired ...

Very inspiring and uplifting, Matt. Thanks for this 🙏🏻

Just sharing my situation just now, I hope to update one day how things are going. 🙏 I´ve started taking singing classes since Febraury of 2023. So is been a long time since I hold back. I need to develop my own voice, and this journey has make me realize I'd like to go even further, like making a career out of it, since is something that I really enjoy to do. But I'm already working at a job and I'm not finding enough time to do so. It is hard to leave behind the fear to exchange a job in which you reach a certain stability for something that you're passionate about that you finally make up your mind and started to explore just now. I'm still young to have another career (I'm 22), but for some "singing careers" I'm at the age limit, and now i realize i know nothing of theory and have little time left to enter to one of these schools. I could enter to others but I would need to get a great schoolarship to be able to enter and not worry about money. Totally got those days in which I thought I sounded great and then think i sounded awful, but more than that, I question if I even have something meaning to give and to share. Is it even that good?Do I transmit anything to others? Which leads to re-think if I should even try it. I just hope one day to create something beautiful with dedicated musicians, share moments with them and the people around using my voice for that.🌠♥

This is the most amazing video you have ever made ❤️

I am a complete beginner to singing, so I practice everyday non-stop 2-3 hours a day for a year, doing vocal exercises, warmups, researching techniques, applying techniques, I sounded so good and felt confident, but after I finally recorded myself to microphone, my confidence shattered, I thought I sound so good, but I hear is too tension on the neck, mumbling high notes word. After I realize that I was staring at my computer for 1 hour straight, just silence. I want to cry but tears doesn't go out. I want to give up singing cause i think my effort is worthless but I will try again. Thank you.

Matt, thank you for sharing your personal experience and for your helpful encouragement. 😀 I’m working on pitch and confidence.

The best thing that I did was get a vocal coach. It was the small step that I took at the beginning of this month and I am so happy I did. She affirmed my singing range and tone, while challenging me to work on the things that I didn't even realize were holding me back, like my control and articulation. In equipping me with exercises to do daily, and having my coach notice the improvements that I'm making, my confidence is growing.

Thank you so much for your wonderful advice. It really captures me.

Thank you sir I really needed this.

Great video, thanks a lot! I am working on learning Indian semi-classical singing and have days of low confidence and don’t know if I will be at a point where people will enjoy my singing. I am continuing to take baby steps, as you said.

I can write poetry that rips peoples hearts out !

Thanks for this! My biggest problem right now is singing above my first passage in my vocal range.

Maybe that's my calling too, cause I always end up being retrenched in my jobs. And I'm enhancing my singing skills and at the same time learning to play ukulele

This is great. I’m experiencing depression cuz of personal issues and singing is the only I do everyday, but I want to be able to sing high so bad… a lot of my friends can sing higher than me without even any training. I have been taking private lessons for almost a year now, and I’m still stuck around G4. It makes me so frustrated and I can’t see myself singing higher ranges anytime in the future. I AM still practicing everyday but it all the videos of others speaking of techniques to extend higher range or whatever just makes me feel even worse. Why can’t I get there?

Great advice!!!

I'm horrible when it comes to comparing my voice (which I hate) to professional artists and because of this my biggest struggle has been understanding or figuring out what my vocal type is. I know my range, but not my vocal type which makes it difficult to know what songs to choose and improve, and yes I've used his program that helps with that, but part of that involves comparing yourself to professional singers (again, I suck at this) and knowing where your first and second passages are, neither of which I know.

thank you 🥺🥰

You are a great guide, in singing journey

Thank you sir

Thank you

This video is actually quite good for motivation, watch it 'till the end! I am struggling with the pasaggio and not liking my own voice, which is quite common within vocalists xD

Thankyou so much

Thanks 🥺😭

My biggest problem: Singing on pitch! I am not tone deaf at all if i play an easy note in my range on the piano its pretty simple for me to repeat. Singing songs is a whole diffrent story. I would consider myself a bass((bass-bariton) with a range from D2-G4) so singing songs from Johnny Cash is pretty comfortable for example but most songs i want to sing are mostly sung by tenors or barritones. I tried to lower the key of the songs but thats not really helping me why voice is just jumping around in pitch. I often jump whole octaves because its pretty hard for me to find the note the person is singing because the sound of a tenor is a lot lighter and by far not as resonant as my voice. I even took a few singing lessons but even my teacher couldnt really help me with that. Maybe someone here could help me with this problem. Might be possible the problem is something totally diffrent. Some advise would be awesome.

Thanks Matt. So encouraging. My issue is I've lost touch with actually going out to open mic last 2 years due to COVID and have no real connections with other singers or if I do they are busy doing their own thing. Also I don't play an instrument. I gave up learning guitar after a few weeks as I'm so impatient and found it very hard and the fact it took me away from focusing on improving my vocals. Any suggestions as to how I can sing in public with no backing.??? Most OMs don't allow backing tracks. For the record ive enjoyed singing my whole life. Had some lovely feedback etc.... But... I went back to singing in my mid 40s after having kids really young.., Then I had health issues late 30s to early 50s then when I was well my parents needed looking after. So it's been a haul getting back to my passion!!! And here I am now at the grand ole age of 60 wondering...what the heck?? 😑😑😑😒 I have felt I should just give up it's too late. But I want to push through. I just wanna sing I public and have fun and be good at it. That's all. I have no delusions and want fame. But to be paid to sing would be something I'd like to achieve.... . But Its sooo hard. 😳😒😭. Suggestions?

Great video. For me, it's always-tension

Having some promblems in getting my natural tone 😌😪

So, I'm struggling a bit with timing and syncopation. To try and work on the syncopation, I've chosen the song "My Girl" by the temptations and I'm drilling down deep on the vocals. I'm studying an acapella version where, all you hear are the vocals and finger snapping. I'm trying to recreate that, doing the same thing. I'm Keeping my own rhythm, by snapping my fingers and, singing over that alone. I'm also having a hard time going from singing in my little studio to singing with an actual band. I tend to fall back on old, bad, habits when I get in the room with a drum kit and amplified guitars. For the band scenario, I'm going to ask the guys to loop over a part of a song, that I'm having more trouble with, to try and dial in the correct feeling. I'm hoping this will help me move past the feeling that I have to go at it hard. I can actually feel my throat reaching its limit, like playing a speaker too loud! It gets out of control and the vibrations feel like they're bouncing off of each other.

First of all, thank you so much for all the inspirational and fun videos that you post to help us out. ❤️ Then to answer your question: I do not like a kind of twang sound in my voice. It is especially there when I sing in chest voice, not in headvoice. It's like a very sharp sound, kind of like nails on chalkboard sound. Can somebody tell me how to fix this? Lots of love from the Netherlands

I am trying to singing for about 2 years and yet i still dont feel comfortable with my own voice. It feels so irritating to me so i cant sing infront of others also😔😔

Sometimes i really like my voice and sometimes i don't And i am learning singing by myself I am very confuse because i write songs and i want to sing them but i don't how to play any instrument but i dont want to give up singing no matter how hard is singing😃

Mickey Mouse sounding head voice/mixed voice. I feel like my head tone just isn't improving no matter what I do. I have no problem getting into my head - it just sounds so weird.

🙏🌟

I'm struggling with finding the right time to actually start finding proper work and gain financial income. I'm still in Community College and living with my parents, but I still don't feel like I'm living the adult life.

I feel hopeless. I always go off pitch at the end of a phrase.

I’m struggling with my voice. It is so awful. I don’t know how to make it sound amazing. If someone knows please help

I am very bad at harmony and even singing in key, I really love singing and I think I have a nice voice tooo. I join a singing group in church and I feel like an outsider and not recognized during rehearsals. I thought of giving up but I am having second thoughts after watching this video can someone help me improve?

I just cant sing high and on lower notes i dont sound so good. I am practicing since 4 months . It is so frustrating . I cannot even afford online vocal lessons or a vocal coach 😭😭😭😭😭

Can anybody help me out in avoiding the nasal tone in my singing

kind of weird, but i feel awkward singing after i moved into an apartment (from a single home). technically it's ok to sing, play drums, etc during normal daytime hours. maybe i should sing in the closet until i get over the self-consciousness. hahaha

I’m tone deaf though 😫

I can’t sing Acappella
