How can I improve my singing beyond just hitting the right notes?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to seriously improve my singing and I’m looking for advice from people who have gone through the process themselves.

I can sing reasonably well, but I want to improve the quality of my voice rather than simply being able to hit the correct notes.

I’m particularly interested in improving:

Vocal tone and resonance

Pitch accuracy

Breath control

Smoothness between registers

Head voice / chest voice / mixed voice

Singing with more emotion and expression

Vocal control and dynamics

Overall confidence and consistency

What kind of practice actually helped you improve your singing?

I’m not really looking for generic advice like “practice more.” I’d love to hear about specific exercises, routines, techniques, or resources that genuinely made a difference for you.

Also, if there are any common mistakes beginners/intermediate singers should avoid, I’d love to hear those too.

Thanks!

How do I improve my guitar playing quality and ear training after learning the basics?

​

Hey everyone! I’ve been playing guitar for a while and I already know the basic chords, scales, and some music theory.

But I feel like I’m stuck at the stage where I know what to play, but I don’t necessarily sound as musical or polished as I’d like.

I want to improve things like:

- Playing with better feel, dynamics and expression

- Better rhythm and timing

- Improvisation and phrasing

- Connecting scales to the actual music instead of just playing patterns

- Playing melodies by ear

- Identifying chords, intervals and notes by ear

- Being able to hear something and figure it out on the guitar without relying heavily on tabs

For those of you who became genuinely good musicians rather than just learning more chords/scales, what did you actually practice?

I’d especially appreciate specific exercises, routines, or things that made a noticeable difference in your playing and ear training.

Thanks!
