Good one Chris I've been using this for decades but only by putting my flat open hands where you have the folders. The other way is to sing quietly into the tiled corner when you're in the shower. You may also find that your voice is a lot louder than you thought it was. Besides, the shower is a good place to try this, unless you're showering with a friend.
I tried it and it works :) turned out i sound kinda good :P a few singing lesson would help though haha should i post a video of me singing?? Hmm?? O.O
SO, is my real voice (that everyone hears), the voice that comes when i have those paper's in front of my ears...?? I sound good.... D: but when i record i sound stupid -.- So is this the voice that everyone hears when i have those papers!?
I won't even try I know I'm gonna be insecure after XD. as looking myself in pictures and pretending it's not really me XD. in mirror I'm great but the second I take a picture.... Whatev
Which method of hearing yourself is more accurate? When I do this I still sound different from when I record myself on my ipod. I sound way worse on the ipod.
I had a voice teacher at a college class last night, have me try this last night while I was singing in front of the class. I did not understand what she was trying to show me. And I felt foolish. It freaked me, out not hearing myself like I'm used to. Now, I see she was trying to get me to project my voice out, and to hear my voice more like everyone else does.
Just spreading the word I wish to be a singer will anyone support me and spread my video around and give it good ratings? Please? I love music and being able to preform has always been a dream of mine, thanks.
I know I'm not great but could you please help me on how to sing better with tips and stuff thanks
My voice is a lot higher than I thought it was lmao... it sounds in the middle when i hear it but when i record myself or do this its a lot higher :PP tis weird..
I onced sang in a contest last year and the judges said I had excellent pitch and nice tone and was like what! It sounded horrible to me coming into my ears but now that I put the folders up and can hear what they heard it really sounds great. thanks again!
oh my goodness! I hate the way my voice sound when I'm not using the folders but when I used the folders it sounds good to me, totally different, very soulful. lol. amazing. this was a great tip! thanks for opening up my ears to my voice. lol
@RisingStahh :O coooooool.... but i tried to do the "12345" thing and i hear myself the same way o.O.... i'm afraid of trying to sing doing that... -_-
My voice sounds more muffled and less clear when I do this, but it doesn't sound like that on recordings, so I'm not sure this method "really" shows you what you sound like to others - for a start, others are capturing your voice direct into the front of their ears, whereas with this method you've blocked that off
so my voice is a bit higher than I thought it was, note to self never whine like a kid in a high register ever again. I'm amazed no one has killed me for that yet with this voice O.o
So I sound like a man. Great. So now that I know what I sound like to other people and absolutely despise my voice and never want to speak again, what am I to do now?
cool tips! more on why you sound different you're talking than when you hear a recording of yourself, it's because when you hear a recording, you hear it because the sound traveling through the air is hitting your ear drum, causing vibrations that is interpreted in your brain. that's hearing by air conduction only. but when you are directly talking, in addition to the air conduction, you also have bone conduction. your brain puts the two together to produce the final interpretation of sound.
Wow i sound like a kid -.-
