Get distance from the mic when you are singing loudly.

Move closer to the mic when you sing softly.

Stay in time.

Relax.

Dont fuck up.

ironic you ask ME this, I'm studying mixing/mastering

compress your vocals first, then bust out an equalizer and highlight that sexy mid-range. i learned by reading Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio, great book, there should be a .pdf lurking in the archive somewhere (you disgusting thief). i only say this because i have no YouTube tutorials to direct you to for vocal mixing, so look up your own. sorry.

also, >>73993027, dairy results in more phlegm, and more phlegm fucks up your high notes. learned that from a choir kid.

Not who you replied to but damn, never thought it would affect me that much. Now that I think about it, the days I don't eat cereal are the days my voice feels easier to push.

Is Audacity a no-no for mixing vocals? I've heard mixed reactions.

don't be so afraid of vulnerability. 99% of the stupid shit people do behind mics is due to feeling uncomfortable and wanting to mask it by acting what they perceive as cool or whatever. it's cool to be yourself kids
