Where To Upload My Vocal Progress Audio, Covers, Reccomended Hosting Platforms?

TheFlame

As a student starting from scratch learning to sing, and as a new forum member looking into starting Ken's vocal courses in the future, I'm curious what is a good online platform to upload audio/video of me practicing vocals, covering songs, to share here on my singing journey? I'm not savy with all the latest music platforms that people upload their music, aside from YouTube. I'm thinking about how to share my progress and stuff here with fellow students, and not necessarily to the public. For example, if in the future I wanted to share samples of my vocal progress for feedback within the forum, though not to the public, what is a good way to to that? What are some of the choice online platforms or ways others like to host/share their progress musical material?

Soundcloud is good. Audiomack works well for me. I get a lot more plays from Audiomack than Soundcloud.
That is if you want to do audio only.
On both these sites you can mark your files as private so people cannot search for them.
I guess YouTube works great if you want to do video. I put some stuff on Rumble.com also, but they stayed below 10 views, so probably not the most active site for music. However pretty simple to use and if you run backing tracks from a 3rd party you are probably safer on Rumble than YouTube. YT removes a lot of stuff due to publishing rights.

I’d recommend using SoundCloud with privacy settings or Google Drive to share your vocal progress privately. I’ve used both for things like practice recordings, and you can easily control who sees them by sharing a private link. Dropbox works well too if you’re just sharing audio files. If you’re planning to upload videos, you could also go the private YouTube link route—just make sure the video’s set to unlisted so only people with the link can see it. All of these are great for getting feedback without broadcasting your work to everyone.

I’ve used SoundCloud for sharing my vocal progress before, and it works great since you can set it to private and just share the link with specific people. Google Drive is another simple option—upload your recordings there and share the link with the forum. Both are pretty straightforward, and you don’t have to worry about your stuff being public. SoundCloud has the added bonus of being specifically designed for music, so it’s kind of nice for organizing your tracks. I’ve found that keeping it private but still easily accessible for feedback is key!
