I swear I can’t hold a note to save my life, doing my best and just watching the tuner wobble from sharp to flat while my ear can’t tell the difference
And then even if I could get that part under control I’ve still got terrible rhythm holding me back
Have you been doing it long? Hearing the difference between notes gets easier the more you do it. If you have a piano just play notes and sign along rather than trying to stay in tune with a tuner, or you can find a video of someone playing notes slowly to pitch-match. Your mind will latch onto the pitch eventually and it will feel easier to stay in tune in time. A lot of people that are pro singers sang from before they could remember, in church or in choir growing up, so starting out fresh later on can definitely take some effort. Is there a specific style or motivation that made you start?
Nope, I just started trying to figure it out. And no particular reason for starting. I’m just the kind of person who always wants to be learning new skills.
