In this clip we break down what to do when your rap voice is too monotone...
We do this from a coaching call I had with a rap voice client who had a great flow, great writing, and more how to rap skills...
But you need to learn how to improve your rap voice!

Format Your Writing To Fit Your Voice
When you write down your bars or type them out on a phone, use FORMATTING changes in order to force yourself as you rap them out loud to remember to change your vocal inflection.
That could be something as simple as stretching out a word, so if I say the name of this channel in my rap and I want to stretch the last word out, “how to rap”… I would write in my phone as:
HOW TO RAAAAAAP
Or that could be something more complex, such as writing the words in bold I want to say in a more intense voice or making the words in CAPS that I want to YELL, just like you would when reading a text when people use caps.
It makes them look CRAZY like they’re having a meltdown when they write texts in all caps, and you can literally “hear” them yelling through the text in your mind…
So why would you use the same text trick for rap vocal inflection?
Now, if you’re one of those people from outer space that doesn’t write down their bars and just goes in the booth like Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne, not to worry.
You can also use this technique by visualizing the words in your rap that you’re thinking using colors.
So again, if you want to make sure you use inflection on the word “rap” in the phrase “how to rap”…
Then simply VISUALIZE the word “rap” in red, like:
“How To RAP” (rap in red letters)
And practice the use of visualization to get the same effect.
Point is, your first test in learning how to know if you have a good rap voice is by testing your inflection abilities both with yourself and with others, which brings us to…
The Head Nod Test
When it comes to any form of music, but particularly rapping, there is basically NO BETTER feedback than playing your music directly for someone live in front of you.
This doesn’t mean you need to necessarily have them standing right next to you, so don’t worry if you’re watching this from overseas or a town without many rappers, since this method will work on live streams or video chats…
But the point is there is something almost SCIENTIFIC about the way people react to music when they LIKE or they HATE it.
People’s Body Language Will Tell You Everything You Need To Know About Your Music
Therefore, you need to leverage this reality and use their BODY LANGUAGE, not their words to determine how to know if you have a good rap voice or not.
The way I would personally do this is I would find a track I made (or in this case, you) that I THINK has:
A good vocal performance
A fire beat
To play for somebody when I get the opportunity, whether on live stream or in person.
Next, assuming the beat is hot, they’ll either nod their head in the beginning to wait for your flow to come in or they’ll give a dry smile or something in acknowledgement they like the instrumental.
Last, pay CLOSE attention to how they reaction in the first 15-20 seconds when your voice comes on.
DO THEY KEEP NODDING THEIR HEAD (OR SMILING) WHEN YOUR VOICE STARTS OR NOT?
