10 Signs Of Bad Vocal Technique

Whether or not you are studying voice, you are still using certain "vocal techniques" which you've learned either consciously or unconsciously from family, friends or music teachers. Here are some signs that your vocal technique is in need of an overhaul. Your technique is bad if:

1. Your throat hurts to talk after you perform.
2. You worry about losing your voice from talking or singing performance.
3. Your voice feels strained after using it
4. You don't command much attention when you speak or sing.
5. You never seem to have enough breath.
6. You can't hit your pitch accurately even though you can hear that it's "off".
7. Your vocal tone is thin, uninteresting or hollow and hooty.
8. You can't do certain vocal licks you're trying to imitate.
9. You can't sing very low or high, your vocal range is limited so your song choices are, too.
10. Your manager, agent, label rep or significant other who you trust tells you confidentially they are hearing  a problem with your voice. (duh).
