Navigating the Journey of a Healing Vocal Voice
Music has always been an integral part of my life, not just as a means of entertainment but as a powerful tool for healing and well-being. However, as I recently faced a serious illness, my love for music has taken on an even more profound significance. During periods of pain and discomfort, I have found solace in the melodies that swirl within my mind. Every thought, every emotion, is accompanied by a harmonious tune or a lyrical expression. Sometimes, I even break into a song because it fulfills a natural musical inclination that arises from a situation.
Currently, I am forced to keep physical pain at bay. It is during these moments that I rely on an internal, ongoing musical refrain to mediate the physiological ills. This practice hasn't made me less conscious of the importance of vocal performance, but indeed music is a sanctuary that brings me joy, health, and peace of mind. It has been my strength and solace, and I am eternally grateful for the gift of the gift of music.
Opinions and Feedback
The opinions and feedback about my singing voice have been varied. Some remarks have resonated with me, while others have provided constructive critique. For instance, one set of feedback highlighted the quality of my voice, particularly the first piece, mentioning that the vocal style and vocal quality. However, the second piece faced some criticism, with certain notes sounding pitchy and rushed. The reviewer suggested that with more practice and possibly voice lessons, my vocal range and dynamics could be greatly enhanced.
Another reply praised my voice as sweet and offered encouraging words about potential growth, suggesting that my voice might not be fully mature at 21, which could still benefit from lessons and practice to strengthen my vocal abilities.
Feedback from another source was more focus on the musicality and pitch accuracy. They advised focusing on matching pitches exactly, suggesting that a musician can provide valuable feedback on my ability to sing on key. This is a critical factor in developing one's singing talent. However, the perspective is that having someone to carry the tune through accompaniment is not a fundamental requirement, but controlling the musical situation and not needing accompaniment to stay on pitch is a mark of a skilled singer.
Essential Steps for Singing Success
To truly understand one's singing capability, the first step is to assess whether one can sing on pitch. This involves singing for a musician with and without accompaniment. A skilled musician can often pinpoint whether you can maintain a consistent pitch without aid. Additionally, you should be able to match any pitch you hear with your voice. Another crucial aspect is the ability to carry the tune and stay on pitch without accompaniment, which is a true test of a singer's control over their voice.
While pitch accuracy is essential, the rest of the qualities are subjective. Different styles and types of voices can attract audiences depending on personal preferences. Even though you may not have a perfect voice by conventional standards, if you possess a unique talent that touches others, it is every bit as valuable. Originality and authenticity are key to making a lasting impact. So, keep singing, and let your unique voice and message resonate through the world.
Conclusion
My journey of singing through pain and illness has underscored the importance of vocal well-being. Through the feedback and insights, I have gained a clearer understanding of the areas that need improvement and the tools to achieve those goals. Whether through practice, voice lessons, or simple tuning, my singing voice will continue to serve as a beacon of joy, health, and peace.
