i have a problem in my recorded voice!!

well I have all the things tht are necessary for the singing.. but when i finish singing.. i played the song i sang but.. my voice sounds different.. it isn't like my voice.. sounds too girly and weird.. i don't like it.. help me please!!! or if there's any program that can change my voice problem recorded then don't hesitate and please tell me!!

Well~ the simplest solution is just that your voice sounds different than you think ^^;; Like sometimes after I sing, my voice sounds WAY too nasally =3=
Then, there's how we always "want" to sound like the original singer :3 Like, if it's a Miku song, that's probably why you sound so girly~
Try singing along with the off vocal if you know the rhythms really, really well, because then you can hear yourself best.

speaking of hearing yourself best.... i often record with one side of the headphones off my ear (ie, one on, one off) so i can hear myself clearly.... it's a bad habit yes orz but it helps me catch off notes and strange pronunciations......

i'm strange yea... i'm sorry

but what FlutterFly said is true. There's always a voice that you want yourself to sound like (me: WHY CAN'T I SOUND SEXY DAMMIT), and often you're surprised at what you actually sound like. It's not a bad thing. It's more like discovering who YOU are in the world of singing. Your own voice kind of grows on you after a while (I still dislike my own voice)

I already grew on me! =3 As for irO's headphone thingy, most celebrities do that. I don't... BECAUSE I WANNA SOUND AS OFFKEY AS POSSSIBLE!!!! 8DDDD

that's weird because i always sing with my voice.. i never tend to sound like someone..;;; is it the problem of the microphone? ㅠㅠ

then my voice usually is like more girly.. that's weird because comparing from girls in my school my voice is the most deepest..

no! never! my voice sounds somehow like a bit boy and girl voice mixed...

Maybe I should try recording like irO, one side on, one side off. 8D;;

But yeah, we do hear ourselves as deeper than how it sounds when it's recorded; or from other's view/ears.

Does everyone that record their singing sounds different from their usual voice.. or does it sound exactly the same?

Well my voice is naturally on the higher side and it's a bit nasally. But when I sing my voice does sound a bit lower mainly because I attempt to sing unasally so it sort of sounds lower (I also sound more mature when I sing, I sound like 14 when i talk).

Oh bleh. Screw sounding formal =A=. Basically whether a person sounds the same or different than their talking voice depends on each individual >_> Besides. Why don't you post your singing and talking voice so we might be able to somehow pinpoint if it's really your microphone having problems, or if it's you who's having problems believing that it's really your voice. Sheesh. Also, people who sound like they're singing live just have a good mic or really good mixing skills.

alright i'll post my singing but i'll put it some days later... I'm sure all the one who hears me singing will bleed in their ears...

I found out something.. my voice is normal when i record/ sing without the music.. but with the off vocal version of me singing changes my voice..
I don't know what to do to put my singing in a off vocal version...

does someone know how to solve this weird problem?!

Ah, then; it is in a different key that's suitable for your voice. Try pitching the off vocal up or down, see which makes you sing more comfortably. Hope this helps.

One question.. Iam beginner in audacity.. so I must use the one in effect in "change pitch"? in the off vocal version.. are you saying about that?

*raises hand*
Yep, I'm pretty sure that's what she's saying♪
What you'll want to do is import the off vocal into the window you sang in, (or paste your singing into the window you opened the off vocal in) then select the whole off vocal. After this you go to "change pitch" and then there are two really simple ways to get it to the pitch you want, which is to use the "Semitones (half-steps)" box or the two lists of keys you can chage it to. If you use the semitones box, you have to put a minus before the number of keys to lower the pitch, so be careful o,o Usually a pitched off vocal is two to three keys away from the original song, but it can go to higher extremes. Good luck~ ^^;

wow.. that was interesting! thank you let me try that

hmm i tried it.. but it is more harder... i don't know what to do... ㅠㅠ

... Okay, wait a second. I think I might actually REALLY know what your problem is this time. >_>; By "singing with the off vocal" do you mean recording in Audacity with the off vocal already imported in? Because, since you're doing this in Audacity, something like that can actually distort your vocals... It also creates lag and a whole bunch of other nasty stuffs. =,=;

But I do that all the time and it doesn't really distort my voice. ._.

It won't distort your vocals, but latency (lag in the vocals) is a natural process. After all, from the time your voice is recorded, the computer needs to process the analogue data into digital data, which thus means it will always be a fraction slower. The more lag there is, the slower your processor is, is all. It's not THAT much effort to go in and drag the track a bit forward to time it to the karaoke!
