Yeah I've been sick for a while as well. That's how my voice got deeper.
I'm home by myself most of the time so that's probably why I belt so often :D

i had a really deep singing voice when i was transitioning but then my mom closeted me again and now i gotta sing soft again
and tbh it sounded p sucky cuz i was focusing less on sounding good and more on sounding deep which never did anyone any favors

@PuffPoff

If I'm singing a song that's all in my head voice, I can usually do pretty decently. When I have to switch constantly between my head and chest voice (which happens ALL THE TIME in choir), I can't hit high notes as well.

@PuffPoff

You're 100% right. Going low to high is a lot easier for me

And, to be honest, as a bass, you gotta be able to go High to low and low to high. A lot of our songs, mainly the truly difficult ones, have the bases flip back and forth like that.

I try challenge myself so I sing different parts sometimes and let me tell you bass is definitely the hardest

The worst part is that we never get any credit for it, either

@Tiani

we're singing a song called 'Nightfall" by Roger Emerson and IT'S SO HARD BECAUSE THE PIANO PART IS SYNCOPATED SO IT'S NOT ON TIME WITH THE SINGING PART AND THE HIGH PARTS ARE ACAPELLA send help
I much prefer accapella to piano that clashes with the singing. We had that once where the rhythms were all so different we ended up out of time the first time we tried it.

@TeamMezzo group

you know when your choir teacher starts playing the song and you're like, 'yeah, okay, uh-huh, i got this,' and then they tell you to sight read the first five pages and you're like, 'well that's unfortunate but i can do that' and you open the music and stare at the time signature
because
it's in
6/8
and you wanna die

oooooffff

6/8 is just 3/4 with more beats! Come back to me after you've tried reading in 13/8. While you're at it, listen to Ganondorf's battle theme from Ocarina of Time. 23/16, baby!

oh hell yeah 23/16 my favorite time signature along with 9/8 7/8 and any damn sondheim song because those things have crap counting

@PuffPoff

oh I forgot about this chat
I have to audition for choir next year but all of the female parts of the song we have to sing are too high for me. I can sing the tenor part but that means that next year I'd be a girl in the men's choir.

that's okay, don't worry too much abt it. parts should be classified on how high they are, not what gender should sing them anyway

@PuffPoff

My voice dropped so much this year so now the lowest note I can sing is an E2
I'm very tempted to just be a tenor next year

@hollow-boned

i have no idea what E2 is cuz i wasn't educated in music in the western system but honestly if it puts less of a strain on your voice then be a tenor dude

Deleted user

E2? I can't even sing that low, jebuss rice

@hollow-boned

ok i did a quick test i can go a little lower than D2 i think (not sure what that even means i was only taught the octave skrngkrd)
