The fact that this came to mind is… i suppose worrying but as we all know, politicians and other governmental people + buildings are well protected. Why haven’t any major anti-USA/terrorist organizations considered doing a major attack during an event with all of the major musicians and actors and other people taking part? Like surely that would destroy Hollywood and the whole media business which is a very big thing in the United States. To my knowledge, these events have lots of security but would they be able to stop something like a major bomb or a plane for example?

Hey, I promote my music on TikTok, IG and Youtube and I was wondering have yall noticed how youtube comments don’t seem to understand the basic concept of music promotion with simple text hooks. Like I’ve already gained a few comments that have basically ”called me out” or belittled me for posting this type of content. In reality I just repost the stuff from TikTok onto these other platforms so I never do Youtube oriented content.

My promo is usually that easy-to-do and easy-to-get-into type of content where I use text hooks that might appeal to people who see them. I’m even being called arrogant for trying to just be like ”hey this song is for those who love nostalgic indie rock” lol.

Here is one comment I received to show what I mean: ”you'd think this guy would realize he needs to change something after months of posting the same slop on repeat, but instead he chooses to believe it's about the wrong people seeing it and continues on, somewhat sad to see really”

The thing is, I’ve also released more high effort clips and even music videos…

Am I alone with this problem?

Hello everyone! I’d first like to say that I don’t have a background in being taught proper vocal technique (wish i had tho) so everything singing related has been just me singing whenever and sometimes I’ve tried to look up some info and exercises. I do release music as an artist and feel like I can sing somewhat good.

I haven’t had many opportunities to sing loudly because i’ve always lived in an apartment complex with someone so its a matter of being shy and not wanting to distrupt others. Very recently tho at work i had some time to work on singing louder/with more power and I quickly noticed that my throat was very strained and tight.

During the same session however, by feeling my abdomen a little, i was able to find a way to sing without feeling like my throat is getting in the way and slightly hurting.

So basically the way I would describe that ”progress” is that now when i sing in that new way, it feels like my singing style is a lot more loose and pronounciation is less nuanced as if my mouth is a lot more open and laid-back. Now also i can barely feel my throat as if ”it moved out of the way”. There is still a little pressure time to time depending on the phrase im singing but compared to before, it *feels* like my throat is less tight.

I cant provide a vocal recording right now but I can describe the tone I have with this technique. Like I said, its way more loose and relaxed but it also seems more ”belty” (?) and ”desperate” (compare it to Tyler Joseph in the song ”Tally”by Twenty one pilots). It also seems to flirt a lot more with voice cracks AKA if i dont control it, i get voice cracks. I wouldn’t say that this tone that I am singing in sounds necessarily better or more consistent but I’m wondering whether this is a good foundation to build on to sing louder.

Any advice on this? Is it usually about what feels right or is there a chance that I’m making it worse?

TLDR: found a technique to sing more louder with less throat discomfort but also with less consistency, is this progress or not?
