1. Relative ear? I've never heard that phrase, and I searched it too. Is that like perfect pitch? You hear a note and you know what it is or someone says "Sing F#" and you can do it?

    I did a quick search and it says learning to sing by ear. So if you do indeed hear someone say sing F#, you can sing in F#.

    Off to see a new movie this afternoon - Snowtown.
  3. Ah we callthat perfect pitch, I can do it to some degree

    and

    I said "relative ear" because we say "oido relativo" and oido means ear (tocar de oido = to play by ear) I didn't know the proper term in English. That's it. Perfect pitch. I have had no musical training ever (besides the obvious Music subject we had at school, playing flute and that stuff), but the medics who made me the intelligence tests, also made some artistic tests and realized I was able to define intervals and chords even without knowing in which tonal root they were. It's not very common, but it isn't very hard to practice it eiher, as far as I know,
  5. Perfect pitch. That's cool. Relative pitch is more learning to do it.
  6. Anybody out there?

    Yeh, my voice while im singing sounds alright to me, but when i listen back it sounds completly different And wenever i start to randomly sing my sister quickly reminds me of this
  11. It takes some getting used to. But I've gotten used to mine and now consider myself a decent singer. But in my head, I'm an excellent singer
  12. Yep, hearing yourself, whether it's a music recording, a conversation or whatever, is shocking the first times. Some never get used to it, I finally have. Still don't like my voice tone you all hear, I prefer the one that I hear in my ears... but that happens to everyone too

    The thing I won't ever get used to is to hear myself with a delay... have you experienced it? The longer the delay, the more you get distracted by your own voice and the more mistakes you make, I even lose track of what I was saying/singing and just have to shut up. It's horrible, I hate it.
