I think it's just a question of practicing in your upper range.

What do you singer folks do to practice? I miss having a really good voice. Just sing along with stuff every day? Scales?

I'm quiet because I'm shortly going into my sixth meeting of the day and I'm dying of the tired.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Well, that's a better earworm than what was stuck in my head.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

The main thing is to just go ahead and sing - nothing improves your voice more than singing. Pick something you enjoy doing so it isn't a chore.

Something that can really help is to pick a recording where you like the singer's sound, and work on imitating it. It can be easier to match a good sound than to try to figure it out on your own.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well, I sing in a choir. You could do that, voice lessons, scales. Naturally, since we live in the future, it looks like there's plenty of warm-ups available on YouTube.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't practice on my own at all, which is (part of) why I'm not really very good. So right now I'm practicing once a week. When I have stuff in my head, I work on the nuanced stuff we're doing with the chorus, not actual singing. Like he wants us to sing "behold" like you actually say it, not like "bee-hold."

almost never ever sing a long E in my chior. I call it Julie Andrews singing with a pursed mouth. I kinda hate it because my comfort singing is gospel choir and while this is a small untrained church choir - the Director is trained and it is all very formal formal.

Speaking of voices.

I just recorded a meeting so I could facilitate it and then write up notes later, and OH MY GOD, why do I sound like that, what is that, THE HORROR.
