Do I just have an ugly timbre?
I’ve been in singing lessons for like 4 years by now (some good teachers, some not so good) and I’ve been singing in general for about 6 years and I still hate the way my voice sounds!!
I know it’s common to hate your voice, especially in recordings but it makes me so frustrated that I’ve spent so long singing and I still can’t get over that initial “I hate my voice”. I’m starting to wonder if I just have an objectively ugly timbre or if im just not singing the right songs for my voice type (but if this is the case, that would make me sad because I sing songs that I like in the pop R&B and indie genre).
I’ll hit all the right notes, my technique is improving, it feels like I’m doing everything “right” and I still hate the way my voice sounds.
Every time I post on social media short snippets of my singing I get extremely anxious about it because I feel so insecure about my singing. When people compliment my singing I just feel like they’re just saying it to be polite, not because my singing is actually good.
Any advice on how to get over the self-hatred?? Is this something that can even be fixed? Thanks so much :(
