So I know you guys can sometimes be curious about what we sound like. We don’t try to promote ourselves as perfect vocalists, but we have to sing decently enough at least? haha I had a performance last night and I sang 4 songs, in 4 different languages. I’ll post them here since I have been too busy to write analyses. I hope you guys find it enjoyable nonetheless. ^ ^

good job, sometimes wobbly vibrato appears but i like it for stylestically.
you really really sing in ur supported range btw 😃😃
i’m very curious with ur head voice, please sing the song with head voice transition, maybe i can learn how to switch to head voice properly, we are baritone maybe it will easier to receive.

My vibrato just has that kind of speed, it’s not really a wobbly actually. haha Do you really have a deeper voice than me? Yes, I am very self aware so I stayed within my supported range. lol I shall sing songs with head voice transitions in the future! lol
LikeLike
tbh i still trying how to sing head voice especially the transition. i sing it was love luna “meosdaero” over and over lol. it could be connected but i want smoother. and i try to make my head voice thicker in F4 “gulgo issneun simjangi sarangieossda sarangieossda
naboda sojunghan ge”.
i think baritone/bass is harder to sing head voice with smooth transition than tenor/soprano? maybe some baritone/bass have good transition but it very rare generally, right?
LikeLike
As a baritone, trying to emulate a girl’s head voice down the octave is hard because our passaggi are different. For me to transition into head voice down at B3 is possible but it’s hard, but for girls B4 is just fine. For me I can do it around F4, but it gets easier the higher it is of course. I don’t think it’s harder for us for being baritones, it’s just whom you’re listening to. Listen to By My Side by David Choi, he goes into falsetto/head voice a lot in this song and he is a baritone.

yep.. that was nice song. you re right i should listening to baritones singer for the most (for improving my technique). but i love korean girls like taeyeon & luna, starting from love and like themselves, so that made me like their song lol.

Yay! You sang On My Own lol. Did you sing it an octave down or did you change the key? Because the first parts didn’t sound very low…or I’m just not very adept to guessing notes lol. You sound great! Your voice is very light though, sometimes you sound like a tenor.
By the way, I watched some Felicia Ricci videos and do you think it’s correct to approach/find the mask by at first singing it with a nasal consonant (Nyah, Wae etc…)?
It certainly does sound better and I’m hoping that I support at least C4/C#4.
And do you have any advice on making my lower notes better? You said that I just need better breath management to make proper support but what exactly does that mean? You don’t seem to be commenting much about my lower notes.
And has raising the soft palate have anything to do with my mixing problems?
LikeLike
I sang it in a different key. I could’ve sung it down the octave but I chose not to cause I wanted to have more fun. Yes that’s a good approach, I use it too. Your low notes will come as you learn better support, their tone production is already quite nice. Yes it helps with placement. Thank you btw!

This has been asked about already and I’ve already answered. It’s not bad, it’s the most accurate one online so far. Granted a lot of it was copied from things we’ve said in the past prior to analyzing certain vocalists, explaining why Niel is in the Tier B for an example, it still has a lot of inaccuracies. Many vocalists are way too high or way too low.

I’ve heard enough people singing in Korean now for me to be able to tell what kind of accent you have. You sound like you’re Indonesian when you sing in Korean, I hear in the way you sing your Eu vowels, Ee vowels and Aye vowels, because of where you place your tongue and your jaw position, you keep both tight and tense and you don’t allow the vowel to open as much as it should. You need to relax your tongue, drop your jaw, not let the Aye’s go in your nose. Your runs were pitchy but compared to your other audio your pitch is SO much better, you’re not nearly as nasal and it wasn’t bad. I think not singing in English helps but perhaps singing in a language you’re fluent in would help even more.

As a fun little side assignment, could you analyze your own singing XD (Because I’m A Fool?). It’d be interesting to have a live version analyzed by someone who knows their voice well.
Also, is it just me or were you nasally? During Because I’m A Fool I couldn’t help thinking that your nose was stuffed, maybe a little bit of throat in there as well. Or was that on purpose?
LikeLike
Side assignment? I don’t think I got time for side assignments. Don’t you think I do enough already? lol The only times there’s nasality in my singing is when I sing words that contain the consonants M and N. So I suppose it’s a quality in my voice, the brightness, that tends to have people mistaking it for nasality. It seems to be something that people somehow hear with Sohyang or Kyuhyun as well, all 3 of us are pretty bright in our singing and have occasional nasality that can’t be helped by singing N and M consonants, but people seem to hear it in other times when it’s not there. I listened back to make sure but I don’t hear a quality that would lead to anybody thinking my nose is stuffed, at least I don’t hear it. I also don’t hear any of the throat, so I don’t suppose it was on purpose either. Either way I would rather not analyze my own singing and leave it up to your own imagination and perception, even if it may or may not be right, it’s completely up to you and not me. Like you saying you hear the throat or nasality, if you hear it, well then you hear it.
Also a side thing on grammar. It’s something that bothers me, but I noticed a lot of native speakers of English use the word Nasally as an adjective, when it’s an adverb. “Were you nasally” should be “Were you singing nasally” or “were you nasal,” since within the context of grammar nasally as an adverb needs to be used with a verb. Just a thought, since I know many people don’t notice this but it really bothers me. lol
LikeLike
I’ll take you word then that’s it’s just the tone of your voice. On Kyuhyun’s part I find his voice throaty/thick/full, but if it’s his tone then that’s just too bad it resembles throatiness.
I mean, I’m pretty chill when I type these casual things so I’m not all hyperactive about proper grammar. It’s just convenient so lol, sorry if it triggers you.
LikeLike
You find Kyuhyun’s voice throaty? I see I see, maybe there might be a confusion on what throatiness and nasality actually sound like that could be throwing you off. Oh no it’s just one of my pet peeves. When people use nasally as an adjective or when people talk bout singing being “stable” whatever that vague expression means. lol it’s not a big deal though, just something I don’t wish to see spread around anymore lol
LikeLike
I know you aren’t talking to me, but you find Kyuhyun’s voice to be throaty? Are you sure about that? His tone doesn’t resemble throatiness in the slightest. His voice is so forward and in the mask and doesn’t sit on his vocal cords at all literally he takes “pull your voice forward” to heart. I don’t mean to tell you how to think, but no. Kyu’s voice no where near resembles throatiness his tone quality is clean. What about his tone to you makes you think it sounds throaty?

Hey Ahmin, great job! 🙂 I saw on another comment thread that you said you’re a little insecure because a lot of people have bashed you for being honest and not ranking their biases as high as they want, and to that, I say that they can all just go away. I especially liked the Les Mis cover, and just out of curiosity, are you multilingual/how many languages can you speak? I was pretty surprised to hear you singing in so many different ones lol. Anyway, props to the whole team for this blog, and wish you all the success in the future!

Bom, eu realmente nunca conheci ninguém de fora que fala português bem além dos países lusófonos. E realmente, português é uma língua tão difícil que quem não é nativo dificilmente tem sotaque bom/pronúncia boa (é por isso que eu me impressionei quando vi você cantando com esse sotaque maravilhoso)
Eu sou de São Paulo mesmo, você acertou askopsakasok. Mas moro no litoral do estado, não na cidade. Aqui há muuuuitos descendentes de japoneses, e na verdade eu não sou um deles. Renato é realmente meu nome, bem comum aqui, mas o sobrenome vem de uma japonesa que eu me relacionei um certo tempo atrás, e a família dela também tem esse sobrenome, com eles morando na cidade aqui (eles são totalmente japoneses mesmo). Tenho descendência na verdade nordestina e portuguesa.
Você tem algum vídeo falando mais sobre os países que já visitou, pra onde foi ou algo assim? É realmente interessante isso kkkk, e eu também pretendo no futuro viajar pra fora, já que ainda sou jovem. :v

Não faz mal mandar a resposta por outro comentário. Na verdade eu já vi muitos coreanos terem facilidade de pronunciar português mas falar sem sotaque, mesmo quem é de país latino tem um sotaque tão óbvio. Eu conheço muito brasileiro que fala português mal, uma gramática deplorável. Eu tenho problemas com as vezes traduzir do inglês quando falo português mas esse é o único problema. A entendi, então você não é casado com ela para ter o sobrenome dela?
Na verdade eu estava planejando fazer um vídeo, quem sabe ainda hoje ou amanhã falando de todas as línguas que eu falo nas línguas que eu falo, por diversão. Se você estiver curioso, aguarda que vem!
