Find Your TRUE Singing Voice With This…

Have you always wanted to find your true singing voice?

Unfortunately, most singers start off by imitating their favorite singers.

And any time that you mimic another vocalist, you may be picking up on their bad habits.

Today, I want to show you how to find your true singing voice through actually singing....

What's bad, is when you're singing, and you think you're slaying it, and then you play back the recording, and realize you're actually slaughtering it, lol. Or as a songwriter, you're working on your own song, with a predetermined sound in mind for your voice, and you're not even close.

My family expects me to sound like the artist. So they criticize me for not doing it right.... I am always telling them "this is my voice, not theirs!!" When your audience expects a song to sound a certain way it's very difficult to get them to appreciate your own voice.

I’ve always been aware that I attempt to imitate too much. It’s so damn hard for me to develop my own style in anything I do. Singing, drawing, painting… it makes me crazy

Something that helps me sing like myself is to play a piano track of the song that I'm practicing. The piano is "neutral" and doesn't have a human voice, but it does have notes, so I can follow along and see how I sound just trying to match the notes.

This is so helpful, thank you!! I hate my own voice but I'm trying to stop imitating other people (which is easier said than done when you're in the habit of doing it all the time). Will definitely try out these tips!

This is my husbands account; but your videos and help have helped me re discover my voice, whistle tone, and confidence. You’ve helped me bring back my love of my own voice: so thank you.

Wow! In all my years nobody has ever told me this. I always knew I imitated whoever I was singing. I'm quite good at impressions when singing, but I never knew my own voice. Anyway, I put this into practice after watching this video. My voice sounds so much better on songs that suit my voice. I sound garbage on a lot of songs that don't suit my voice. So, does this mean I should only sing in my own voice songs that suit my voice? I like doing covers of female songs, but my own singing voice is quite deep. I've always noticed how I had to strain to sing in songs. But in my own voice I don't. I find my own voice to be a bit monotone and plain compared to some of the impressions I can do.
Edit.. I've been trying some more songs in my own voice.. This tip is epic! With practice I reckon I can master my own voice and add the character that other people's voices have that I adopt when singing their style.

Listening to your own singing everyday is such a great idea! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this man! I literally INSTANTLY sound better and there's no more strain on my voice. I would always try to imitate who I listen to. Russel Hitcock, Jimi Jamison, Steve Perry, Chester Benington etc etc. Not only did I sound really bad and inconsistent. It would strain so much out of my vocal chords and I would have to rest a few days to sing again. I guess on the bright side, for the past 2 years I've been singing in my car doing doordash. I have as a result already built some vocal strength. Now I just gotta unlearn the bad habit of imitating and start singing with MY voice. I literally feel zero strain now with this technique.

Once again thank you so much!

[CubanMelanin]

Forgive me but I died when you spoke out the words along with the piano 🤣 I’m so sorry back to my lesson 💀

[PenelopePitstop]

Thanks Matt, for your continuous support and guidance!

This is another one of your very helpful videos! And I know some things related of the suggestions in it. But it is good that you provide us with information to help us know what our own voice can be once we work on it. Thank You so much! Lisa

Wow. O.O I ended up liking my voice! I still cant hit some notes and I need vocal coaching but wow. I didnt even like my speaking voice but this was a huge gift. Thank you! *tears of joy*

[ShirleysvdB]

This is so amazing! Thank you, I wish I can take your course one day.

[kendreamer]

Yup it's because we sound different in our heads the vibrations of our voice bounce es around before it leaves and so when we hear ourselves we are used to that sound. But a recording show how others hear us.

[juniperstardust]

The more I record myself the more I love my voice, I start to appreciate how much it does for me and I'm grateful for how it sounds, it's unique it's my voice, it's a gift to me and I'm going to improve and practice a lot to make it be the best version it can be. Thanks for these videos, you're making changes in people's lives that live miles and miles away from you, but your talent and your creativity reaches us and that is so beautiful

There's an sure method: write your own song.

I can't help singing April Come she will as Art Garfunkel or Colours as Donovan, but when it comes to my own songs, I have to end up using my own style. Of course, I can still use some techniques I borrow to colour my style, but it's my own.

[MatthewWright]

This lesson was so excellent! An amazing difference very quickly :-)

[thomasnguyen]

I used to try to sound all pretty. After learning good vocal technique and practicing, I’ve improved. I strain less now.

Interesting. Superficial, but interesting. I am a VERY limited singer, but a very good voice imitator - so that has always helped.
I seem to have found a way to use my "own" voice for singing, but it made it even clearer how limited my actual range and how low the strength is; but that's okay.
