why does my voice sometimes sound really good, and the next day like crap? mainly refuring to singing...?

Question

every now and then i can imitate josh turner, axle rose, billy-joe, and ronnie van zant, like perfectly, and then a few days later, i'll just not be able to sing anything worth a crap without sounding really stretchy and crapy, like a dying cat? when i sing good, i don't hurt myself or my throat at all either

Answer 1

Allow me to add to Neena's helpful suggestion, for which my addition is esoteric. There is a branch of medicine that deals with this thing, the shifting of the voice. Just as you have sports physicians, there are those healers who are centered on the arts; for example, those conditions wherein trumpet players' mouths are sometimes afflicted with lip ruptures. Well, there are specialties that address and treat these sorts of conditions.

The voice is not something to be trifled with, for it is a most rarerified musical instrument. If you are a singer and you abuse your voice, that is, your throat and vocal cord, polyps among other events can form rendering you incapable of singing. The voice is so alive that like anything alive, it needs rest and to be given balance, between rest and use...

Maria Callas, the wondrous, and splendidly haunting Greek singer and perhaps the greatest female opera singer of all, lost her voice -- it just closed down... So take care to take of your voice.

Sing your voice, not someone else's. That is, ' Let Caesar paint out Caesar.' Sinatra became Sinatra, Marvin Gaye sang Marvin Gaye. All have their role models and reference points but still, sing your own voice, and by this you will not strain yourself so.

Voice, the human voice, is the highest of the musical instruments and uses and directly depends on the highest of all natural forces -- the life force itself, of which breathing in and out is but one expression of this great force.

Voice is the closest sound naturally made that approximates the very sounds of nature and even higher into the realms of the spiritual worlds, such as that heard from and sung by those angelic ones, the Madrigals, which are real beings...

Below that of voice are the woodwinds for their capacity to mimic Voice; and this followed by that of the string instruments for their abilities to convey the expressions of nature in the entirety.

Keep singing... and do so to assist others in raising their states of consciousness, for nothing is so moving of feeling yet so mathematically exacting as music.

Music is the highest form of all the arts in this world.

Answer 2

Could be the amount of rest you are getting, warm up at least 20 min before you sing and if you don't have a voice teacher, GET ONE.There is a certain technique to singing like the people you mentioned. it's not like rap where you are just talking over a drum machine. I have been sing for 20 years and I see a voice coach once a week. Good luck.

Answer 3

Try imitating Satchmo, Joe Cocker, and Leon Russell. It sometimes takes my voice two days to recover after a day of recording. It's over-use and abuse of the vocal cords. I'd like to see someone tell us something good to use to help speed up recovery, like some good losenges or something.

Answer 4

It is a combination of multiple things:
1-Food you eat
2-Quality of sleep you get
3-Technique you use to get project your voice

If you want to sing, you need to have healthy food which exclude:
Soft Drinks, Fried food, Alcohol, pistachios....especially the day before the singing or performance.

It is very important that you get rest and good sleep to help your vocal cords to be at their maximum. Remember: they are delicate muscles and need to rest.

If you imitate different people it is certain that you are forcing your voice to be used outside its proper registry therefore you need to have an excellent support from your diaphragm. Try to warm up your voice doing scales going up from lower tones to high pitches.

Answer 5

Believe it or not, Talking can hurt your voice and if you have done a bit of talking during the day, your voice may not be as good as it was the day before. This is why many singers are on strict orders not to talk before a performance.

Answer 6

it's maily because as you sing your vocal chords get stressed the more you sing the better you sound, and then the next day your voice is cracking right?.... well its all becauseall the stressing from the previous day has left your vocal chords sore, drink a lot of room temp water, lemon and honey tea and maybe some milk it lubricates your chords so they aren't so sore, and sing more often, the more you sing the less it happens.

Answer 7

That happens to me.
I think it has a lot to do with environmental conditions, such as humidity and air pressure. Also, when your vocal chords are relaxed you sing better. That is why choirs and other singers do warm up exercises.
