"I hate my voice”

「我的聲音不好聽……」

“My voice is weird and unattractive.”, “What if I sound like XXXX?”

Many new singers are dissatisfied with their voice. Especially during recording, people dislike their voice often because they are not used to listening to themselves on tapes, or unfamiliar with their own voice in the first place.

Even the top singers could face the same problem. John Lennon was famously dissatisfied with his own voice and would like it electronically altered in many of the Beatles tracks.

As a singer, you have your unique larynx. Your larynx produces your voice. It is the resources you are gifted with. So, first thing first. If you want to change your voice, this is the place you should focus in.

If you are unsatisfied with your natural voice. Here are two tricks that you might start applying to your voice to seek improvement.

1st method: vowel manipulation

Try to put your sound to different parts of your mouth. Back of the mouth, nice and relax, mouth open all time. Front of your mouth, then nothing but nasal resonance left. Try to sing the same notes in different ways to experience this change. Change the shape of your mouth, where the sound is being sent, and how it is being developed though the shape of my mouth. These variables change the resultant sound dramatically.

2nd method: Manipulate the Larynx

This method is concerned with your laryngeal production. To start with, try to do a very thin accent. Listen to yourself through the headphone. See what it does to the overtone of your voice. It will have an immediate, pronounced effect on your voice. Experiment and you might find that you like it more or less than your original voice.

Start with you most relaxed voice. Try to apply some of those ideas. We highly advise you to try the first method first before trying to alter your laryngeal production as it could become quickly damaging to your vocal cord without professional guidance.

Experiment with your voice. If you do something and find that it makes your throat hurt, you should not be doing it again because it cannot be healthy. But if you use the above method and find a voice that you like and you feel totally okay repeating the same trick, feel free integrating it into your singing routine.

　　很多初學唱歌的人都會這樣想：「我的聲音不好聽」，「如果我的聲音像XXX就好了」

　　這很可能是因為他們不習慣聽自已聲音的錄音，或並未開始了解自己真正的聲音。

　　其實即使是一流的歌手，也會有這樣的想法。音樂傳奇John Lennon亦是因為討厭自己的聲線，故經常要求混音師去調整他的聲音。

　　作為一名歌手，你有一把獨一無二的嗓子。喉嚨是你產生聲音的地方。它是天賦於你的樂器。所以如果你想改變你的聲音，喉嚨就是你應該留意的地方。

　　你已經用最自然的方法發聲，但仍然不喜歡自己發出的聲音。

　　以下是兩個你可以嘗試實行的辦法。

方法一：改變發聲位置

　　第一個方法是改變你發聲的位置。如果你把聲音放到喉嚨後方，你的聲音會自然地變得通透明亮。相反，把聲音放到前方，鼻音將會變得很重。嘗試用不同的位置唱出同一個音調，改變口部的形狀以及發聲的路徑，以改變發出來的音色。

方法二：改變喉部發聲

　　第二個方法是改變你的喉部發聲。尤其是在錄音時，試試在唱歌時加上一層薄薄的口音。反覆聆聽，觀察它對整體音色的影響。喉部發聲的變化能即時地影響你的聲音。你可以透過試驗來找尋你想要的效果。
