why am i good at singing choir music but not radio music?
in choir i can sing just about anything and sound amazing.
but when i try & sing a song by a favorite artist of mine it doesn’t sound as good.
are there voices just more developed or what?
im a soprano, been singing for about 6 years, junior in high school.
It is different singing in a choir and singing pop/rock/general radio songs by yourself. I sing alto, but also find that even if something is in my range, I struggle to sing ‘normal’ songs from the radio. I think that the technique is different – in a choir you are blending, and work as part of a group. Even if you are singing a solo, your voice is used to working with choir music, where it may not be as familiar with the patterns used in some other forms of music. In my opinion, singing in a choir is fantastic experience and will get your voice in great shape, and you will be able to adjust to singing other styles of music. And when you do, the choir training will help you a lot. A lot of my difficulty with singing music other then choir is that the timing is different, and the voice and instruments interact differently. And in a choir, there is more of a balance between the different parts, with all working together in harmony. In some other styles, there is melody and backing vocals, as opposed to actual full harmony.
It is a matter of practice, and familiarising your voice with different styles, but your choir training will definately help your voice in the long term.
Good luck!

You’re better at choir music that’s all, and radio music, is edited. so that could be it. Also the songs your singing from the radio are just in your range, either to low, or something. Choir music is very different from "radio" music because it contains different styles pop, hip-hop, whatever it may be.
