Hey everyone! Decided to start singing after 3 years when I didn't touch my guitar or sing a single vowel... I had no idea what to try so I just sang a few seconds of Angel (Aerosmith) a capella to show you my flaws, e.g. the off-pitch B flat (for youuuu). Main problem is pushing way too hard with my throat instead of activating the diaphragm, it's ok for lower parts but becomes a real problem whenever I sing higher or get more emotional.
Here is my first demo of me attempting to sing, 3 weeks into my vocal learning journey. I purchased Ken Tamplin's 2.0 Vocal Course and have completed the first 20 video lessons of Pt.1 so far. Up until recently I didn't believe it was possible for me to sing. I'm starting to believe. I practice about 5-6 days per week on my vocals, and 1-5 hours each day, doing sliders through the scale, working on my vowels, and breathing checkpoints.
Here is a recent bass and vocal cover I did demonstrating where I am at so far with my vocal training on week-3. I'm now into week-4 and practicing singing and playing my bass at the same time along with my progression through Ken's Vocal 2.0 course.
Ken Tamplin is an extraordinary teacher. I am so happy that I have him as my vocal instructor. I'm enjoying the process of learning vocals. Up until recently I never imagined I could possibly sing. Now it feels more like something that is possible that I will learn.
It would be more helpful for you if you submitted some simple Lah-ah scales or arpeggios.
On the video you're a bit pitchy with an obscured tone due to using too much air. There's a pitch section of the course you might want to take advantage of.
