Do you want to know if you are singing off pitch? Do you want to fix it? If so, then this page is for you!
If you ever wanted to know if you were singing on pitch or not, then this page is exactly what you have been looking for.
If you already know that you have problems with singing on pitch, this page is 100% ABSOLUTELY for you and wil help you improve in just 10 minutes!
As singers we share many joys, desires, and fears. We love the feeling when we sing with complete freedom and expression. And, we love those moments when we “connect” with our audience and THEY hear the beauty in our voice, then THEY are moved, touched, inspired by what they hear from YOU. This may be at church, singing karaoke, serenading your loved one…
But, if you are like me and most other singers, you may have fear that at times you sing poorly – off pitch, bad tone quality, wrong words, wrong timing.
Many amateur singers focus almost exclusively on increasing their range so that they can hit high notes. While hitting high notes is nice, GREAT singers understand that being on voice pitch at all times is the key. Look at it this way…
Everyone sings off pitch, virtually all the time. It’s just a matter of how far off pitch and for how long. If you’re a “tiny bit” off pitch for a short time, it’s not a big deal. But, if you remain noticeably off pitch for a half second or more, it can be a BIG problem.
What’s the biggest issue with the singers on that top rated TV show? They’re off pitch! Pitchy singing kills the hopes of many contestants. Have you seen the devastation on their faces when they discover for the first time they sing off pitch? Right there on TV for “all the world” to see?
How can it be that hundreds of those people thought they had what it takes to compete, when they were that badly off pitch?
The answer is that they did not know they had a pitchy voice or how bad their vocal pitch problems were because: OTHER PEOPLE LIE…
All accomplished vocalists know that singing pitch is a real issue. If you think you have no singing pitch problems, you may want to get a second opinion.
It’s not your fault that you sing off pitch and don’t even know it! But, there is something you can do about it…
(probably remove this paragraph… it’s a setup for the next product) Here’s a tip: Research shows that wearing headphones while singing into a microphone can improve voice pitch error by up to 50%. This means, when you hear what other people hear, you can start to get a handle on resolving your vocal pitch. You will learn more about this and other advanced “Inner Listening” techniques in an upcoming Advanced Voice Pitch Singing Program.
For now, let’s talk about the first steps toward correcting singing pitch in as quickly as 10 minutes.
At the age of 4 years old, I decided that I wanted to be a singer. I sang in every event that came along, in junior high and high school, I sang solos, barbershop quartets, big choirs, special small ensembles… awards upon awards, I developed an excellent voice. But, my confidence was weak when I went to college and I felt I could not make it as a professional singer, so I got a degree in mathematics and computer science and became a software engineer for a very long time.
My dream sat on the back burner for years, yet every time I would go out on the town and see live performers, I’d think, “that could have been me”… “I wish that was me.”… and finally, “that’s gonna be me”…
One day I decided to give up my high paying career and “go for it”… I knew I needed training, so sold my house, cashed in my retirement, savings and “poured it all” into getting a top notch education at a great music college. After the first year of training, I sat down for an intensive session with a new voice teacher who had heard me sing for several days at a singing retreat workshop. He said, “we could work on several things… Your vocal pitch issues or …” I didn’t hear a word he said after that. I was SOO EMBARRASSED. Here I had given up a comfortable life to become a professional musician and I COULD NOT SING ON PITCH! I was mortified, humiliated beyond belief and considered dropping out of school. But then, I got it together and decided to get in to action.
I started taking two private voice lessons a week. I bought every voice training program on the internet I could find. I bought programs to teach me to hear perfect pitch and relative pitch. And, I got a lot better over the following two years.
Then, feeling confident, I came to perform for my Junior Jury (this is where all the professors sit and listen to you perform and “grade” your performance – it’s cut-throat – not mean, just brutally honest). I did the best I could do and walked out of that jury, fully confident in my success!
Back to the drawing board… or internet in this case… I stumbled across a little vocal software program that would “graph” a single voice pitch. I could play a pitch, then sing, and it would draw lines showing where my voice pitch was. The program cost only $39 and only did this one simple thing, but this was my SALVATION! Read more…
