my singing voice 

yodeling dodie = *yodie*

*I Have To Keep It Relevant Ya Know?* Omg you're so precious

As someone in musical theatre i love your voice so so much as a break from all the big songs i hear and sing all the time. It’s so lovely and soft and warm. Of course voice lessons would help a lot with your straining and your lack of technique but your head-ish voice is just as lovely. Plus, your music is just made for it xx

why is a train conductor posting a video on dodies vlog channel?

when she, sorry correction. THE QUEEN DODIE was singing "no tears left to cry" I was shook

THE LOW SOFT CHEST VOICE IS JUST AAHHHHH I LOVE IT

FUN

she's talking about all these notes and i'm just nodding with a stern, understanding look as if i'm talented and know what she's talking about

0:29 i’m pretty sure she sings shouting the same way it’s sung in arms unfolding that’s some foreshadowing rigHT THERE

who came here after dodies hidden song video lol

My vocal coach senses are tingling...

this video is so important ive always had the opposite problem of gettin out of my chest/more talk-y range to higher notes!!! ur voice is lovely i love u

I really liked your approach to this topic. You explained your weaknesses well without any self-deprecation. Idk if you'd be interested, but I'd love to see a little series of you taking voice lessons and seeing how you improve. My "belting" idol has to be Lea Michelle. That woman is friggin' incredible.

omg the vibrato; like a fresh cup of Dodie tea ☕

Now I realise why dodie said "shouting" so weirdly!

But... HOW were you able to find the mixed voice ON YOUR OWN? That's *incredible* . Without singing lessons? Holy crap.

Dodie, your voice is beautiful!

the mirror dodie doesn't seem to be impressed :p

"I'm not an expert in singing" Ugh yeah and I'm not an expert of breathing

Hey, did anyone notice at 0:28, when she sang ‘shouting,’ that it is the same as the lyric in Arms Unfolding? WAS IT A TEASER INTO THE EP, I DUNNO?

What a freakin angel amirite mates

3:43 ... we see you mirror dodie, we see you 😂

Sidenote dodie is lookin hella cute just sayin

2:09 IS WHEN SHE SINGS A BIT OF ARMS UNFOLDING

Hidden words in ‘arms unfolding’ 0:29 ‘Shouting’ 0:38 ‘an’ 2:09 ‘pretty hard to’ Please add more if you find any

So. Freaking. Relatable. I love my softer voice, but definitely wish I could have a stronger voice to belt out.

PSA to all: Dont strain yourself singing (push your voice) because you'll damage it. Focus on relaxing, breathing deep in your belly, opening your mouth, and sitting straight. After awhile, youll find power in good technique

I actually love your voice. If I was lucky enough I would LOVE to learn from you. Please make videos teaching us what you’ve learned!!!!

I knew there was something suspicious about that beautiful lil shouting

I believe dodie's singing voice and mine are very alike cause every single time I'm hearing one of dodie's songs my mom asks if I'm singing, and I'm just like: I WISH pff

I love the ending 😂 Honestly me on a daily basis looking at myself

Living for that outfit! Would it be possible for you to do another lookbook of like your FAVORITE outfits? Just a thought lol cheers

just here from after the EP came out......is 0:28 a reference to Arms Unfolding????????

I love how curious everyone is about voice here :) Just a quick warning: RU-vid is sadly full of fake singing teachers that say they know what their doing but actually you will end up hurting your voice if you listen to them. So think and research before you listen to anyone and if possible get an actual singing teacher and talk to their former students first to see if they're actually good :)

Girl if I had your singing voice I would literally annoy/bless everyone every single second of the day with it

Your hat looks like Ryan Ross’s so I’m very happy

Argh singing voices can be wonderful and also very frustrating. Keep at it dodie, you're awesome!

"shouting" DODIE YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS

lmao I always herd her singing the word "shouting" and thought it was just a cute dodieism

3:55 Wow MOOD

Personally, I love your voice. I love how light and soft your sound is because it sounds so effortless and heavenly. I’m a vocal major at my school and I totally understand wanting a stronger voice, because let’s be honest, we all do; but I think it’s refreshing to hear and quieter sound since everyone seems to want to sing so forcefully nowadays. And every voice is different, which is the truely beautiful thing about singing. And you have a lot strengths that belters don’t, so don’t sell yourself short! (I’m the same exact way, but we all need to practice self-love and appreciate our own talent. ) 💜

I love dodie judging herself at the end, honestly me whenever I look in the mirror

0:29 ARMS UNFOLDING

All singers on the radio sound the same and though I get that it's nice to have a strong voice I know nobody else who has such a soft and angelic and clear voice as you. You are so unique and special and I don't think i'd enjoy your music so much if you'd sound like everybody else.

I take vocal lessons but none of my friends have ever heard me sing because I am to shy!😰

that hat reminds me of ryan from highschool musical *_i love it_*

little dodie and her little hat

I'm so glad Dodie made this video because she explained what I've been trying to explain to my choir director for years lol. My voice always cracks around B flat (ish), and I always got so upset because my sister can belt like there is no tomorrow. So I ended up always singing songs sung by guys so I could belt and stay in my chest voice. But, after watching this I feel a lot better, like hey! I'm not the only one! I may go and try to sing some Dodie songs and listen to her voice to help me develop my head tone and chest voice.

hi! the key with vibrato and belting is in the soft palette. it’s the soft bit at the back of your throat (so when you yawn and you feel cold air that’s your soft palette). keeping it raised is really important to make your voice stronger and always stay in tune! try taking a ~shock~ breath in where you can feel that cold air in the back of your throat. hope this helps! xx

I always used to think that singing was something you either could or couldn’t do but this was really inspirational. I want to work on my singing a lot now

OKAY SAME I HAVE A MASSIVE SPLIT BETWEEN MY CHEST VOICE AND HEAD VOICE AND ITS JUST UGH

Last time I was this early, dodie still had a capital D

I love your voice, not the power, not the range, just how it sounds and how it would make me feel certain emotions. With your soft voice and beautiful talent at making music and making deep lyrics. I hope you go far dodie. I'll gladly watch you

“i have the perfect voice for the kind of music i tend to write” which is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. i have that kind of ‘music theatre’ voice you referenced, where a lot of my sounds are mixed and belty, but i’ve ALWAYS wanted a sound like yours. and desperately try my best to imitate it in the car singing along to you. i guess it really does just go with the old proverb. want what you can’t have? grass is greener? i wonder.

I actually am currently having this issue.... Belting kills me, and I'm half decent in a very middle range. But a song with a long range is literally gonna be murdering my vocal chords.

I took voice lessons for YEARS. Belting is about support and placement meaning your breath and where you feel the vibration in your throat. I find when I get really high in my belt I feel it in back of the roof of my mouth almost. It should NEVER feel painful that’s a sign you’re possibly damaging something. Eventually it does become muscle memory. Then you can learn control which involves breath support as well and you can start to do all those Demi Lovato runs and riffs.

Dodieeee if you want singing lessons, I highly recommend learning to sing classical and operatic music. I know that's not what you write but oh my gosh does it help when it comes to singing anything. I've been having operatic and classical singing lessons 13 years now. Would recommend 💕

I've just realised I have a similar voice to yours - the same strengths and weaknesses - so this is very encouraging :)

so I *am* an expert in singing and I've really noticed a dramatic improvement in your mix in the last few years. What I always tell my students with neighbours and roommates is just to find a time where you can practice for like 15 minutes a day. No neighbour or roommate will be bothered if you tell them "from 1pm to 1:15pm I'm gonna be screaming my head off, just so you know." Keep up the amazing work!!

YOU SINGING ARI AT THE END YES

3:42 *_D O D I E_*

I've been watching your videos for quite some time and your voice has improved SO much!! also, can I use one of your covers in my video??

hi doddie, I was wondering if you could do a cover of birdy, wings. because someone who was very closed to me for about 10 years has recently passed away. and this songs reminds me so much of her and because I love you so much it would be wonderful if you were to sing. if so, thank you so much

_Me, who understands nothing about music:_ Yeah uhuh, oh yeah totally you're so pretty yep and skillful i agree sure mmhm

With lessons you'd be unstoppable... the world is not ready for that amount of sheer power

i’d give up my left arm to see dodie yodelling

DID ANYONE NOTICE DODIE IN THE MIRROR? 😍😍

I love your voice, it's so warm and lovely. It sounds like when sitting by the window on a rainy day, under a blanket drinking a cuppa xx

0:28 we love arms unfolding

I always think I understand the difference between all of these voices but if you'd ask me to say which clip is which voice I'd probably be completely wrong

I recognise the voice crack thingy so so much, I am working really hard on that middle voice but I can't quite pull it off yet... But I'll keep practicing!!

your voice often reminds me of audrey hepburn but with more vibrato and i think it's so pleasant to listen to x

Dodie, a singer: i’M nOt An ExPeRt In SiNgInG

I loved the lil "shouting" part, but know that I know it's a part of an actual song I love it even more ♡

Omg I need a full cover of No Tears Left to Cry, it sounded really good! (Even if you don't belt it)

*dodie makes reference to walmart yodelling kid and says she can yodel* me: PLEASE DO COVER OF LOVE SICK BLUES ON UKULELE

“I’m not an expert in singing at all” whERE THO

This video has been so constructive for me and I’ve done so much work and research on my voice and I thank you so much for that

I’ve found some songs that include a serious amount of belting that every so often I will attempt to sing, then I’ll come back to it later and try again. When I first started trying to work on my belt I could almost get a D5? Now I’ve been able to reach an E5, and the D5 is almost natural. I’ve also found that when I started this, my voice would start to really hurt from belting, mostly my jaw (maybe from opening my mouth so wide? When I sing I don’t usually do that but maybe I have to to belt) but with a bunch of practice it’s coming so easily! If anyone’s trying to work on their belt voice, find some songs you like that have belting (not to crazy though) and just start singing! If something does hurt though, take a break and come back to it later. I still haven’t found my mixed voice, you win this round dodie

hi I relate

Love the editing in the mirror at the end ^^ Also, glad to see a bit more of you, I find everything you make amazing ! Much love

OMG Dodie did you just hack into my brain and steal the exact literal thought I have been having for the last three years? Belting is the eternal mystery for me. I just get annoyed when voice teachers on the internet give a tiny bit of advice and then go 'if you want to know more, buy my £200 course or contact me for lessons' and I'm like SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. It's nuts that it's so hard to find good, genuine singing advice in this day and age. And I'm like you - I have a nice voice but I want to work on it, make it more versatile to sing the songs I love. Btw what are the best sources you have used? xxx

Hi Dodie, I hope this is helpful for you. I study music and major in singing at University. When you sing, try to imagine all your vowels like they are floating above the bones of your palate. The ee sound is closer to your teeth. The Uh sound is closer to the back of your mouth, near your throat, but they are all still above the bones of your palate. Never forget to imagine all the sounds floating above the bones of your palate. This is very useful. Singing is very mental and imaginative. Just imagine that when you're singing. And if you need to sing a very high note, open more your mouth to give that higher note more space, and imagine it floating even higher above your bones. The notes most sound very clean and without air while you practice. When you're performing it'll be easier to mix technics if you practiced what I'm telling you. I hope you read this and that it is helpful for you. I could send you some books about voice and technics if you want to :)

“It just would be nice if I could, y’know, *beautiful clear angelic note*”

I just can’t sing😂💖 I love you

I'm loving your style and attitude lately, it's more mature. Lovely video Dodie. Your voice is beautiful!

new room omg

it's so crazy looking back on this and hearing her sing a word from arms unfolding and i never even noticed she was doing it i just aaaaaaa

DODIIIE the end was beautiful i'd love to hear you belt more :)) just go for it, you have it!!

lucy's merch!!! xx

“SHOUTING” “PRETTY HARD TO” IM SO DEAD

"i am not an expert in singing" if you aren't an expert then who is

I've never really put much thought into your singing style or voices. It is just you that I like. To me, that is what makes you a great artist. Its your content and the way you deliver it as a person. To me, your delivery is personable, genuine, and very likable.

I've been getting singing lessons for about 8 years, and it has honestly been the best decision of my life. it's so educational and it makes it sm easier to learn how your muscles work, how not to strain the voice, and to develop stronger registers. 10/10 would recommend

I didn’t even notice that the last song was Ariana’s new song. How the hell did you make it sound so different and more awesome?

Hiii, my little sister has been asking since 2014 for you to cover The Scientist by Coldplay! Please give it a go, i think your voice would fit beautifully also my sister turns 12 next week so ahh! Thank you for reading if you are lol ❤️

“Disclosure, I’m not an expert at singing AT ALL.” GODAMMIT DODIE YOU ARREEEE MY EXPERT IN SINGING AND YOU WILL ACCEPT IT. And now to upload a mii ukulele cover. Thanks for the inspiration and letting me rage. YOUR MY GODDESS AND YOUR JUST A LITTLE NUGGET YOUR A MEALWORM YOUR ADORABLE BECUASE THATS WHAT MEALWORMS ARE THEY ARE CUTE SONT ARGUE. Thank you for letting me prove my point. Now goodnight.

That mirror bit at the end scared me a lot more than it probably should’ve

LOVED this no body ever mentions that there’s a huge split between the head voice and the chest voice

I am at this moment when you try to find your middle voice and keep singing with two different voices! And it's excactly like you said, I shoud try yodeling cause I don't know how to do the rest! But it usually works for the songs I write :)
