how to fix your shitty singing 

the thing i've realized about my singing is that I can hit notes just fine, but my voice is just genuinely annoying to hear

my secret ingredient to singing in my perfect form is HOT tea and honey. literal chefs kiss your voice.

this is such a breath of fresh air. most music tutorials are condescending and full of themselves like they know everything. even if they do, they’re not good at communicating it and it isn’t fun to learn. you actually just taught so much and kept me engaged the whole time.

i used to suck at singing as a kid but then i developed an addiction to smule (karaoke app that was rly popular in the early to mid 2010s) and became good at singing by unconsciously mimicking other (good) singers voices. it’s also cool because i can see my progress thru the years since every single karaoke recording was saved. and let me tell you, i was what most would consider a lost cause when i first started, so honestly i think anyone can learn with enough time.

I love the fact that you know enough to have crisp clean audio for your vocals, but your tutorial recordings are blown out and peaking everywhere. Top tier vid

YES! e x p e r i e n c e d music producer here. You should do this with all of your vocals, all of them. Just auto tuning them is not enough, if you wanna be professional you have to tune them manually.

How do rappers smoke so much weed but still rap and it sounds fine lmaooo entertaining vid tho

you don't even need auto-tune. i don't know who convinced you that you did but your singing voice actually is fine

"You cant tell anyone this" bro posts it to youtube 11:53

His friend: “You cant tell anyone this bro” Him: “yeah i wont” Also him: *Proceeds to upload the entire conversation to youtube*

Wow I just found this channel. Your teaching style is epic, I admit I'm likely an undiagnosed low functioning autistic person, but I don't smoke my meth and I feel hopeful for the first time since my mother's failed abortion! Thanks man!

Bro found the formula for tutorials. Make it fun enough to watch and relatable. The exact reason why educational channels like "oversimplified" blew up. Keep it up man!

Practice breathing and controlling your diaphragm, steadying your voice. Train your ears, voices, and breathing all once by singing vowel sounds along with a tuned instrument or tone. Check your vocal note with a tuner (many of which are free) on your phone or the like. Sing and practice and you will get better. Practice. ✌️

me personally i would just sing it in tune the first time but that's just me ya know

I feel like practicing it until you can hit the notes close enough would be faster than doing all of this xD

5:35 your voice is actually pretty good without autotune, you're a lot more in-tune than you think. trust me - this is coming from a former band kid with several years of experience under my belt also, that little fluctuation at 5:13 doesn't really mean anything. i've seen videos of people putting autotune on great singers who are already in-tune and the autotune just goes crazy bc it just focuses on every little frequency it can. frequencies are much more finicky than people think. you could sing A4 that's like 438Hz instead of 440Hz, and the difference would be barely audible. so yeah

on the smoking point, i'm a singer myself and i fully agree. i always told myself i wouldn't smoke cos i didn't wanna f up my lungs/throat but late last year, i was going through a lot of stress and anxiety and i picked up the habit of vaping. i'm doing it while i write this comment, it's bad. i'm telling you, it really affects the voice TREMENDOUSLY. i keep good tabs on my vocal health and my lung health and when i sing atm, it's like my breath is going through a sieve and my voice is still alright but my tone has declined a lot and my upper range is much harder to access. it's one of the many reasons i wanna quit. the sexy rasp you'll get is not worth losing the longevity and overall tone of your voice.

Damn, that sounds like a lot of work. I suppose that makes sense if you want to patch your current vocal issues, but I'd definitely encourage people to also take vocal lessons, whether they get a coach or just use RU-vid for it. It never hurts to practice, and eventually you might have a good enough voice to omit doing this process.

I just sang in the shower for the first time yesterday, now I get this in my recommended

As someone with adhd who can't focus for crap, this video actually kept my attention, and now i have finally learned something. thank you!

I'm ngl the unprocessed vocals didn't sound half bad great video also, I've been looking for a good vocal processing method recently

THE HUMOUR AND THE EDITING IS JUST THE CHERRY ON TOP WITH THE ACTUALLY GOOD TIPS.

bro rly just exposed is 3 less teeth friend

holy shit the difference that not smoking made for you is great! I'm not a fan of this style of music anyway, but the version when you were smoking was painful, while the one after you quit smoking I enjoyed the vocals even if the rest of the music isn't really my style. Also, I actually prefer your version without autotune

Dude thanks for this... Legitimately so useful!! And thanks again for the commentary. You aren't throwing out a bunch of jargon for us to learn, you're just telling us what we need to know to do the thing, and I respect that

this degrading style of advice was what I needed to make a change and actually improve my voice thank you sm

Storytime with your friend was the best part fr 🤣

Bro, legit funniest producer video that I’ve seen in a while and it’s genuine not rehearsed or copy, pasted. 👏👏

bro ur hilarious keep uploading plz lmao

100% not tone deaf gang: 😈

I hope homie alright

You know, I came here because I thought it would be a actual tutorial on how to sing better. But I didn't even realize until a minute from the end because you're so damn fun to listen to. Great work bud!

tbh you could teach pretty much anything if you explain it in this way. I love the fact that in your tutorials you leave in the parts where you dont know where something is ( 7:37 ) because thanks to that i feel more like my friend is telling me how to do sth and not a teacher or sum shit. Im new here so idk if you recorded videos on topics other than producing music but if you have some other hobbys or sth you could just record that in the same way you did this vid and im sure people would watch it. So there is an infinite amount of things you could record about. Or for example if you could learn something and do a video on how you learned it. idk

Im kinda past the age of these gen Z memes types content but lmaoo I enjoyed it 😂 I'm just a hobbyist or whatever singer but really interested to get to an ounce of what you did (producing/releasing stuff). Also your singing voice is not shitty at all. I swear Ive heard similar on Spotify. All the best 💪

Lord in Christ lol I was NOT expecting this type of video. I’ve been a singer for years and I’m pretty damn advanced, but there’s some VERY specific things I need to work on and only recently I realised I haven’t been drinking water enough and damn you SERIOUSLY brought that to light for me💀💀💀💀So Ig I’ll be having my water then lmfao

I love your style of teaching. Entertaining and fun. Can you do a tutorial on how to do harmonies? Please.

Waves Tune Mono is also manual and works just as well. Entertaining and informative asf. It's cool to see I'm not the only one that absolutely hates their own voice but from an outsider pov it seems most of it is in your head. When you played your music even with the heavy autotune I thought it was a joke but nah you really got a fire sound and putting out quality lessons. That's respect. A lot of big youtube producers/artists are out of touch from that diy struggle.

just got this recommended to me and I'm happy it did since I've always been interested in music/sound production and this is surprisingly the best one I've watched. subbed

As someone who spent decades being a singer, but knows heck all about production, I find this all hilarious and extremely impressive. Lmao (Also, your non-autotune voice is fine. Sounds like you just need to work on breath control)

Omggg 😂😂😂 wtf why is this in my recommendation 😂😂😂 can YT hear me sing in the shower and is sooo done with my voice that yt recommended me to watch this 😭😭😭

I thought this was going to be a melodyne tutorial then he hits me with the "drink water"

On the same spirit of the early tips I have an amazing stretch/workout to recomend. You sit next to a wall, make sure your spine touches the wall both the top and the part that in behind your belly, basically all of it. Then you will put your hands up and touching the wall and go down and up. It should feel very easy in the first rep, so try 10 to start and tell me how you failed on the forth one. That's it, that will make breathing (and singing) easier!

It would be awesome if you made a Fl for beginners series! As in dedicate a video to “how to use compression in fl studio” and just breakdown how to use stock compression real quick. Same for delay, EQ, etc. (just an idea because it’s something that would have made my life way easier when first starting out)

i love ur editing style this is the funniest yet useful tutorial ive seen LMAO also the katamari forever music is highly appreciate it . keep up the good work !

I’ve melodyned over 200 vocal tracks on one song. Praise me.

I do have to say that pitch is only a part of what makes a good singer. Some singers have a shitty pitch but great storytelling skills and rhythm, like Bob Dylan for instance, and it didn't really even mattered anyway. So IF you have everything else, not every style requires you to get a super good pitch. Also, all singers with a really good pitch *still* melodyne everything, although you just have to hit all the notes the same percentage and it will sounds perfect (a bit too perfect and clean to my ears sometimes tho).

Bro this is actually some good stuff like giving tutorials while being funny is something you should do more. Personally i use garageband and not fl studio so i dont follow these but its nice entertainment. Thanks

having this recommended while singing out loud at home like a sign from the universe

"You can't tell anyone, bro!" "nah..." *puts it in the video*

I don't know if you need this, but I prefer this method: Instead of recording the clips into Edison after using melodyne, you can just "arm" the tracks, by pressing the little circle in the mixer (it will turn red), then pressing alt+R on your keyboard. It will export that mixer track back into your project as a new clip. And you can select which part of the song you want to export by doing the usual right click on top of the timeline. Thanks for the dope video btw.

I dont use Fruity Loops, and i mainly do metal stuff This was still great. Dig the editing, man. Also heavy agree on the smoke. I do death metal vocals and I think one of the reasons I had issues in a past band was that everyone smoked weed at practice and the smoke dried me out faster than Insert A Joke Here

Here's another way to do this: 1. Don't be tone-deaf and just have a great or amazing-ass voice, all of which are already mentioned by the G 2. Record multiple takes and then combine all of the best parts together into one large vocal track 3. That's it

nothing beats a great recording. thats the essential part

Including the phone call is psychotic...11/10 perfect video

This guy is fucking FUNNY that’s a sub for sure my guy

I absolutely love to sing and I'm sure this tutorial will help me out a lot.

This is literally the best straight to the point video ever. U gave all the info in such little time and I can relate so much with you with melodyne! And im not the best with it so this video justed helped so much! Getting a sub for sure :)

12:02 dw only 300k of people know it now, but ur parents don't ^_^

i thought this was gonna help me sing better but autotune is the only way 😭

11:10 this is the only reason i watch these videos i aint even into the music shit

FL has Newtone, you can use that instead of Melodyne. I do this with Logic's Flex Pitch and I think the workflow's just more optimized there.

hybe new girl group really need this

this was not just informational but also very entertaining

I like how the universe had to intervene and decided to make this pop out in my RU-vid recommendations after I sing my 14th karaoke video. Message taken. Thanks :)

Not me watching this barely understanding fl studio in the first place😭 Still this tutorial was super entertaining and I feel like I could genuinely learn a lot from this style, an fl studio tutorial for beginners would be great

why did this pop up after l finished watching lesserafim coachella performance 💀

This was the first vid I watched on your channel and I LOVED IT! You are so fun and it was helpful. Rip to your friend though.

this qwas awesome, i enjoyed your presentation and editing. and was cool to see your workflow on vocals. thankyou

Bro enjoyed this vid so much dude that amount of fun and entertainment while learning something is so fking awesome dude please keep making loved it ❤️ 😂🔥

I was expecting something related to "Practice these notes~~" or "Do this- and -DoThat~~" but fine, this works. subed

if u turn the retune speed to 14-25 and flex-tune to 4-15, lower humanize to 5-10 in Autotune u will get the same effect as melodyne. fl studio's stock plugin newtone is way enough for fixing that kind of vocal mistakes. u don't need to open it 4 times. just open it once on a empty insert, drag&drop the samples u want to edit, export it and replace the old vocals. much faster than this method bro! btw nice tutorial, love ur humour.

This is so mucho work, not just the music, also the editing to make this tutorials, what a chad

I hope your bro gets the teeth situation sorted 😮😢

Lmao i love these tutorials and im only on my first one, i like how they keep my expectations lower than hell and they're funny and not boring at all, so fresh! Love it

this video was simultaneously funny and hella useful

"oh well the substance is essential to my artistic integrity☝🤓"

this is educational and pure comedy 😂

I hate my voice. Thanks for this advice brother, my recipe for being a great artist has risen incrementally and I can improve my voice for not be a shitty sing. Great editing and well video, going to the point.

I’m 3 minutes into this guy’s video and bro’s funny as hell💀 You and Degenerocity are some underrated channels that deserve more subs ngl🗣️

thank you so much for this! my singing is so bad my voice literally cracks no matter how high my note is

as someone who listens to indie. your shit singing sounds pretty great. (im not tone deaf. i just listen to indie)

I don't even watch these tutorials because i need them, but because i want them.

I'm no musician, half my music taste are purely instrumentals, barely give a shit about my singing. So is far from what I normally watch (i mean why watch a tutorial that doesn't apply to you?) , but the way you edit your videos is so fucking hilarious- I couldn't help but stick through 👌

I’ll be honest. Your voice ain’t even that bad without autotune. Lol like a week ago I strained my voice from singing and after that my voice just train wrecked. It’s getting better now but I’ll be honest I literally sounded like a dying elephant 😂

the tip to a great voice is that before singing do not ingest any sweets, drink A LOT and especcialy warm or hot drinks. and please. I beg. WARM UP YOUR VOICE. It's gonna do wonders. really. i have music classes and all of these tips are making us sound literally beautiful

Your voie actially sounds better without the autotune imo

So am I tone deaf bc the no auto tune sounded perfectly fine to me- God if that's not enough then my singing is abysmal

I have no idea why the RU-vid algorithm brought me here, but this is a great video. Your sense of humour so so good. "Uhuhuhu so basically mitochondria" really got to me for some reason

Also make sure to do a vocal warmup first. I sing in a choir but my voice sounds like shit when I haven't warmed up

Lmao, found this in my recommended after singing along to a few Giveon songs. What are you trying to say, RU-vid?

bro your voice didn’t even sound bad after you turned off autotune

Giving lots of confidence to start music production after watching this

bro does not need auto tune

Great tutorial but rather than opening melodyne on every single instance… maybe bounce the instrumental and do your vocal takes in Logic or whatever DAW you prefer (Studio One be gas ngl), make your comp takes, and then slap melodyne on 1-4 full tracks instead of 20,000. But alas, who am I to question greatness? Great content man.

11:15 This part made all the technical talk worth it 😂😂

I love how your vocals in your music are crisp in the mic but your vide recording muc is outa mcdonalds microwave.

I love how he is not teaching us in a boring way and he actually made this video in a funny and enjoyable way ❤....

One great tip is on the day before and the day you need to sing, avoid spices, citric anything, dairy and anything with sugar like sweets.

This is so much fun to watch 😂 It’s actually super useful and like this way of teaching. Like it feels down to the ground Well, I’m a lazy human being so I just toss my raw voice in my singing 😂

A tip - if your computer can't handle too many plugins at once, do one track at a time, solo it with the plugins on, export it the song (just the one track playing), and replace the original clip(s) with the exported track, and move the plugins to the next track, and repeat. Remember to disable any plugins on the master bus, or not, sometimes I'll get an extra bit of compression or saturation on the track by leaving some of the plugins on the master bus. You can just set the input of a blank track as the output of the processed track and hit record too, see what suits you and your DAW best. You can also do this with busses/submixes. If your backing vocal tracks are all mixed and processed, with 10 or more plugins running, solo the bus, export the song, drop the backing vocals back in as a single wav file, and get rid of those 50 tracks and 20 plugins, and go on to the next thing you want to process.
