Vocal Classification Help: Tenor or Light Baritone?

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some feedback on my voice type based on this attached clip. In my normal singing range, my voice sounds pretty rich and cozy, but whenever I try to go higher, my notes get soft and airy instead of full or powerful and since I'm untrained, my voice breaks at D#4 in my chest voice. I used to have a bright, light much more youthful tone during my teens and it worked up until B4. I was able to belt A4s consistently but my voice just naturally changed a lot to this velvety breathy, airy tone and also due to my stylistic habits. Based on the audio, do I sound more like a tenor or a light baritone? And do you think my soft high notes are just a lack of vocal strength/training, or is my voice naturally built that way? Thanks for listening

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!

Warming up your voice

Rock singers of Reddit.What do you do to warm up your vocal cords before a show, then to keep yourvoice going wthout "losing" your voice ?? I'm guessing that drinking cold drinks wouldn't be a great thing... Would having a thermos of, say, warm herbal tea do the trick?? It's not very rock n' roll though is it?? Would a skull of spirits work as well. It seemed to work for Barnesy and the like.

Tips on how to achieve a beltier quality for my voice?

Looking for some feedback on this cover I posted recently! I've been trying to achieve a more chest mix placement, but I seem to always fall back to a lighter and more airy quality (very head voice dominant). I want a more powerful beltier voice. I would kill to sound like Hayley Williams of Paramore for example lol. I'm afraid though that my voice is not built for that kind of sound idk. Any advice/honest feedback u guys have?

help hitting and holding high notes in chest/mix

using this as an example but i feel like whenever i try to hit sustained 'high' or powerful notes i can't hold onto it. it almost feels as though my throat is holding me back but i'm not sure how to change it!!

also lmk if i can actually sing or not 😭😭 i might need direction everywhere not just for power

Am I really a tenor? Perhaps dramatic?

I am a tenor though I am not sure what type. Many people even some of my past teachers have said I am a clean baritone because i have a darker timbre but I can hrdly vocalize bellow g2 and my passagio sits at f4. I can vocalise up d5 though in head voice and after that I have to turn to falsetto. In my lower range I do have a strong metallic bite in my sound. I can sing some baritone songs from musical theatre such as frollo's hellfire from hunchback of notre dame but I find I can also sing some tenor repertoire, but that heaviness of my voice has not transitioned into the upper range yet, I am still working on that. Though I do not break anymore just transition, even if it shows. Sometimes I wonder I might be a baritone with high extension, but what do you think? The higher I ago i don't like the sound of my voice much, it becomes way less velvety and more metallic and raw and it doesn't sound any good yet.

I can do mixed voice but only static pitches because i think my throat is too tense so it's basically useless, i don't know how to move forward with this

What's wrong with my tone??

The thing I dislike the most about my voice is my tone. It has a stuffy, clogged nose quality that I can only reduce by so much. It's there when I don't intend it to. Been practicing more forward resonance and brightness but even still it doesn't improve.

Please ignore the female voice in the recording. I really need feedback.

Mixed voice or just singing high? I'm working on projecting my voice.

I feel like whenever I sing with a track I'm always so quiet but when I'm alone I'm loud. I struggle with knowing what my mixed voice is and if I'm actually belting or not. I guess my knowledge is very subpar. I want honest honest feedback, even if it's brutal, as it will only help me improve! Thank you.

How do I sing in a raspy voice?

I'm a big fan of rock music and I like listening to Queen and Guns N Roses specifically. I want to have a raspy and gritty voice like Freddie Mercury or Axl Rose or Kurt Cobain etc.... Is it possible if I am 14 years old and a male and does it depend on my vocal range? My vocal range is G#2 to C#7
