staying in key??? singers???


Question Posted Thursday May 2 2013, 4:21 pm

19 f
Ok so my dream is to be a singer. Mainly a rock singer. Ive been doing vocal excersises for a while and I thought I was in key. I got an audition for a small record label and I took my music today. I was heart broken because when I sang my music the producer said it was good but I was off key. And I could hear it but im not exactly sure what that even means? He also said my melody didnt go well with the background music. Which I thought it did. I feel like I blew my only chance. Any advice on this? How can I get better? Any exercises? My vocal teacher is 80 an hour and thats super expensive but I guess ill have to continue but anyrhing else I could do? I was so excited to do this but now I feel so sad and hopeless !


If it helps he said I have a good tone but I need to learn to control my high notes and stay on key . :(

Thankyou in advance

You are off key because you cannot hear and keep the right pitch in your head. You may have a decent voice but it appears you may be tone deaf. It's no wonder you get lost and off-key.

If your vocal teacher hasn't caught this glaring problem I would dump him or her and find someone who knows that you're "way off" on the parts you try to sing and can work to fix it if possible.

If you're paying someone $80 an hour and they haven't seen that you have this issue than you're getting financially and emotionally screwed over. A great voice teacher will have all the answers to your problem and or will tell you that you just don't have it or can't sing well.

Also, this is just ONE audition. People go on several. However, if they told you flat out what the issue is at least you can take that feedback and go about working on it. Then maybe you'll be successful next time.

Thats weird...You say you know what in key is but don't know what off key is? Are you messing with us? Off key is not hitting the notes exactly, you are sharp or flat. I hope you know what sharp and flat are.
