IMPORTANTE: Por favor, si van a mandar algún album de género urbano como reggaeton, dembow, trap o pop/rap fome, mejor absténganse de escribir nada.

Ahora mismo, al buscar una lista de álbumes latinos solo existe el top 50 de Rolling Stones, pero tengo 3 problemas con esa lista (aunque es muy buena lista): La lista es de alrededor de 2023 y faltan álbumes que salieron después. 2) 50 álbumes se me hacen cortos, y faltan algunos álbumes y artistas excelentes, y también eligió de ciertos artistas un álbum que hubiera reemplazado por otro 3) Poca representación de países que no sean Argentina, Colombia, México y Brasil

Como veis, casi toda la música es de Argentina y Brasil, y me gustaría encontrar más música de otros países de Centroamérica y otras partes de Sudamérica. Si pudieseis recomendarme más artistas os lo agradecería🫂

I've seen that word a lot of times in this subreddit but I don't get what it's supposed to represent, it's a form of saying RYM maybe?

Outside of Japan, I know a lot of animes,mangas, products and videogames that have come out of Japan and they are really big in other countries, such as Dragon Ball in Mexico and the entirety of South America, Sonic and Megaman in Brazil or One Piece and Doraemon in Spain. However I don't know which ones are actually iconic in their home country (I heard that Jojos and Sanrio are?) and which foreign media do Japanese citizens consume, so I was kinda curious to find that out

I have added a bunch of covers I like and somewhat ordered them by preference (I wouldn't pay much attention to if a cover is 'better' than other). I have gone through my to-listen list and the top chart, and this is all I added. Any ideas for other entries?

I was looking around the home page and I noticed that Vtuber music is now listed as a new scene. What do you think of that? Have you heard something from this scene?

Some weeks ago, I got serious into training my singing skills. I had gone through a lot of videos about theory, proper posture, proper breathing, avoiding nasality and other stuff and practicing the exercises along for some days on a streak. One day, my lil sister comes into my room and sees a little paper where I write down the things I want to train daily so I don't spend my entire summer scrolling on social media. She sees the phrase "practice singing skills" and asks "why are you practicing your singing skills? You are awful at singing". I told her to knock it off and dismissed her comments, but a few days later, I have to admit that it hit me more deeply than I would want to. It's been ringing inside my head nonstop like cricket's singing (ain't that ironic?) in summer. My name is Kevin, I am 18 years old, and I have thought of ending my own life far more times for my age that I would like to admit, all because of my lack of skills about anything. At first I dreamt of becoming a master of everything I did, aspiring to be the modern version of Da Vinci, my childhood aspiration. I was not able to reach that level so I lowered my expectations and said "ok, maybe a master is too much. Being very good is more than enough" and of course, that never happened. And I lowered my expectations even further saying "goddamnit Kevin! Well if you can't be very good, make something that is acceptable, something that will make people say 'good job' with a light tap on the shoulder" and to be fair, It did happen sometimes, with a bunch of discord friends of mine telling me my drawings look great now, although in the inside, I am not able to receive the compliment, I feel like my work is not worthy of it and I'm being a fraud for acting like it's something great. Trying to match up with my expectations feels like having to give a tribute every once to a giant monster with an endless appetite, and that everything I make is not sufficient to make it feel satisfied. Of all the defects I have (which aren't few), I consider my voice to be one of the worst. Not even as a kid, when I used to sing without feeling so afraid of other's opinion about it, I thought of my voice being nice. It's really raspy and I consider my tonsil hypertrophy as my body's reminder of "hey! Your voice sucks and you do too. Don't even try". With big artists or even with ordinary people, when someone is good you can see it in their everyday talking voice: it's great, it's nice, it feels warm and comfortable, that they have something inside of them like the shine of the hidden treasure. And despite my often self-destructive behaviour, I do not like to resort to attributing anyone's succeed to "talent", although I do sometimes resort to luck. I know that you can get to great levels of skills despite starting at a very low base level and that there are tons of examples out there. However, there is not a linear correlation of effort-skill. If put into a graphic, it would look something like a crazy fuckload of loops, of ups and downs. You have people who get there in a few months and there is people who need 20 years. There is people who succeed with bare efforts, and there's people who worked like mules for their entire life and die in the middle of the street without anyone's interest in them. And this is why things like PewDiePie's video of learning to draw in 1 year make me so pissed. Because it reminds me of my own failure. Because it shows me that my years of constant learning, my trial and error, is something that other can search without efforts. And every time I think of getting profesional help, I end up thinking: am I really worth bothering their time?
I don't have savings, am I really pursuing this aspiration and asking my parents for it?

Singing is very subjective, somewhat abstract and they say that your voice is your instrument, that almost anyone can sing well. However, some people were born with a 2000$ Les Paul guitar inside while others have a 12$ Fisher Price guitar inside. You know you are not reaching a pro's level, and you don't even know if you are going to get to an intermediate level of compliments, you don't even know if your voice is even going to get any. Maybe it might be better to raise down the head like a dog and accept that you are going to be mediocre at singing for your entire life, like many band members do, and find someone who is actually good at it. Maybe if I train enough I can be more than the low image of myself can imagine. Maybe I'm just a plain crybaby sending a brick of text on Reddit at 5am for being too coward to start anything that I am not instantly good at. Who knows.

Heya! I made a post some days ago asking if getting a vocal teacher is a must-do and a lot of people commented helpful comments and gave good reasons to get one ^((thanks a lot!)). I had a look at the mega thread in the subreddit. First off, they're vocal teachers right? I want to clarify this first because the title says "vocal coaches" although I see people in the Reddit say they're actually teachers and by the descriptions, it seems so. I thought it would be like, "pay a month with 3 sessions a week of one hour" or similar, but It actually works in hours, which makes me really anxious about wasting my money in a lesson that I did not take advantage of. Money is a big factor as I just got out of high school and I'm studying a degree, so I have very little savings and I won't be able to work until summer, so I have to really optimise my spendings. I did not clarify this in the previous post but I do not aspire of becoming pro, I just search of being able to make my own music without relying on others to make the vocals and posting it online, without thinking of music being my main source of income or a source of income at all.

And now, the big questions (you must be tired of hearing these):

1. How much time interval should go on before you get another lesson with a vocal teacher? What is a nice weekly/monthly class organising?

2. What is a teacher supposed to do in each class and how can I know if they are being useful or if I am not getting my money worth and should find another teacher?

3. Should I try to improve a bit on my own before l get a teacher to save up money?

4. How to ask a teacher for online classes? Most teachers in here teach in the US or England, and there is none in my natal country, so, what should I do when asking for an online meeting and what to do in those?

Yes, I did read the "how to get a vocal teacher FAQ" pinned, however I would like to find a good structure for not paying for a session with too small time in between other session. Thank You!

I am into a lot of hobbies. I learned, or I'm learning, all of them online, because I have the belief that knowing costs nothing, therefore learning shouldn't cost nothing either. However, with singing, every resource I see online on YouTube or in other sites seems to be a very vague vocal warmup and saying "oh yeah, just sing with your diaphragm" and not proceeding to explain how, or things for more advanced singers (I did find a few days ago a video from a channel called Victoria Victorious Vocal tips that seemed useful and I might try out). Everything I find seems to be behind a singing course and to be fair, in other activities such as guitar there are people trying to sell their own classes, and I am not condoning doing so, but they do tell you stuff for free that is helpful and have their classes as more in-depth help and one-on-one personal advice. As more example of what I mean if you see at the guitar Reddit's resources, there's a lot of tabs, exercises, useful pages and accounts, etc while in here is a list of courses ordered by price. Is paying for one of these mandatory for knowing how to sing?

I was watching YT and a guy naming it's 50 best album came but his list felt really inorganic, almost as if he searched in Album of the Year and swapped the positions. I noticed that I have a lot of big Albums in and I wanted to know if it feels very generic or poserlike
