Can auto-tune make me a good singer?

@BethRoars gave me vocal lessons. @AdamNeely auto-tuned and produced. Could either of them turn my warbling into something ready for the charts? ■ BETH: / bethroars ADAM: / adamneely

I'd like to apologise to... well, frankly, anyone who had to listen to this.
It was worth it, I learned a lot!
I love it
😂😭
You're not bad. This was much, much better than I expected from the title. I am not a trained singer, but I am a violinist, so I think that should count for something as far as musical knowledge goes.
You could be a professional singer with practice.
This channel literally only exists so Tom has an excuse to push himself outside of his comfort zone. More power to you, Tom.
Why push outside of the comfort zone, when you can stay inside and just expand it 😇
I'm baffled how he's spent a decade youtubing and traveling the world and still has such a narrow comfort zone.
It's also like the MCU of channel crossovers hahaha
Or maybe to make two people get popular off each other
@Major Fallacy Imagine retelling undreds of cool things at a party then when someone asks you to sing "Oh singing? Nah Im too scared"
Expectation: a tone-deaf mess. Reality: a nervous guy singing rather well and bang on pitch! I'd definitely follow Beth's advice and keep up the training.
5:14 yes, he can sing. Rather well since he has no training and no singing probably happens in his life. So, that’s straight out of the tin. He has potential as high level amateur/maybe can be a pro if he dedicates himself. His voice is also a bit unique, which is good.
@Stephen Caudle I get that “justin bieber bad” was the pinnacle of comedy at some point, but… it’s been 15 years. Even that gets old. Anyhow, I’m surprised you missed the conclusion here where Adam Neely explains that modern production technology isn’t magic and can only correct for pitch and timing. There’s a lot more to singing which can’t be fabricated out of thin air, and you can’t make someone who _really_ doesn’t know what they’re doing sound like a competent vocalist.
I mean, look what autotune did to people like Oliva Rodrigo and Justin Beiber (EDIT: Sorry about what I said about Justin Beiber; far be it from me to speak ill of a kid on CS-tv)
Not quite bang on pitch, but it was really quite good for someone who doesn’t sing much
Absolutely
Tom: "I can't sing." Also Tom: immediately gives very decent rendition of Christmas song with challenging intervals 😄
and vibrato
@bocoy noiu FRRR
Tom Scott and Adam Neely is the collab we didn’t know we needed
I like how in the subtitles, when Adam says it, it's spelled "Tone Color", and when Tom says it, it's spelled "Tone Colour". Good touch.
@Garrett Teuscher how do you do that?
They put "savior" and not "saviour" when he sung it though :(
caption+ doesn't even need advertising, you have proof of the quality right here. want top quality? boom
Color / Colour, Armor / Armour, Honor / Honour...
spote o bother color is misspelled mum
What I've noticed about Tom that makes him so charming is the fact that he's willing to show people these deeply uncomfortable things that none of us have the balls to.
strength through vulnerability
I would like to think I could do these things, I just lack the means of doing it
👍
Tom: "I'm SO sorry. And _thank you."_ Adam, pulling up the sheet music: "On the contrary, it was my pleasure."
LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO THAT'S WHERE I LOST IT
Not enough people here are acknowledging the unhinged monstrosity that was Adam's choral version.
I was getting a Jacob Collier vibe on that version
I was genuinely almost expecting an "EXTERMINATE!!!" in there.
Eh - repeat the process with specific people's voices, & it could be a Pentatonix album. 😁😁
That's just Adam being himself
I can never unhear that *never* I will never be free from that, it will live rent free in my head
tom in december: "I am NOT going to start a singing career." tom in march: "𝕤𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕞𝕖 𝕗𝕣𝕠𝕞 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟"

HAHAHAH HELP
Tom Scott and Adam Neely is the collab we didn’t know we needed
@Novakim 🌚🌝
didn't expect to see Adam, was so hyped to see two of my favourite creators collaborate.
Tom Scott and Adam Neely is the collab we didn’t know we needed (Repetition Legitimizes)

For real
as a singer, can confirm this feeling tom is having sucks- singing especially in an intimate (small number of people) setting is a very vulnerable experience 1) you're usually gonna be hypercritical to protect yourself (in case they don't like it) 2) if you like it, and they like it, then you can come off as compliment-fishing 3) if you don't like it, and they don't either, then depending on how far you go out of social obligation you get various degrees of an unenjoyable experience 4) if you like it, but they don't then it can really hurt your self esteem and it often is embarrasing on a very deep level so, you best case is to not like it but they do hence, many singers (and musicians in general) fall behind this snide mask, playing or singing very casually or with an "im better than this attitude.
TRUE
TRUE
This hits too close to home, perfectly said.
"I also struggle with receiving compliments it turns out" was such a summation. Based on his warnings I expected Tom to sing SO much worse. If you need a bad singer I'll send the cantor from my church 😂
Ahaha poor cantor 😂 bless him
Tom's singing is genuinely quite good, even without the autotune. She's not just being nice when she is saying it's good, albeit untrained.
@MiklaneTrane You’re absolutely right! I share your belief that nearly everyone can become a good singer. With the right teacher, Tom would be a perfectly competent baritone that any choral director would be thrilled to take on!
@Timothy McLean I’ve heard worse as well!
Tom would be a perfectly competent baritone with some more practice and training! I'm a firm believer that nearly everyone can become a good singer if they practice and take some lessons-not to the level of a Broadway star or Grammy winner, but unless you're truly clinically tone deaf (very few people are), you CAN sing!
Oh Tom is me, I also have trouble receiving compliments
@comrade susi wolf ohohoho its Takanashi Kiara from hololive
Such an Adam Neely move: "And here's the sheet music for the multi part harmony, including the cough." 😂 excellent touch!
Holy cow Tom, I’ve always known your captions are top notch, but the little red X’s for missed notes at 8:30 is amazing. You and/or whoever does your captions deserve all the recognition and more
" BUY SOME DAMM SUBTITLES "
3:27 The fact that Tom is able to intuitively know which notes to sing just from the chord shows significant musical ability I think. Not everyone can do that. Bravo, Tom
@BD yes, adam neely actually touched on this effect in his "slowest music" video, where he demonstrated that a crowd could effectively count tempos much slower than any single person could
@Jeroen Stolp you could argue that the crowd on the whole can do that. But pulling individuals out of that crowd would reveal a bunch of them not doing a great job. There’s a “wisdom of the crowd” effect that helps crowds sing in tune
everyone can do it after like 2 hrs bro toms done this before just not for very long
@Char10tti3 I mean that's the whole point; people are used to the patterns they hear regularly. the average person can predict the next note in the scale they most commonly hear in their day to day lives. Tom was doing major scale, also common in the west.
@Char10tti3 you don't have to be so sarcastic my guy
Watching this, I feel like Tom was the sort of kid to get a high B on a difficult test and then start stressing about that one kid next to him that managed to get an A. You don’t have to be perfect Tom.
That’s such a sweet thing to say
This singing teacher is lovely, so encouraging! I would genuinely really consider singing lessons if I was guaranteed a friendly, gentle, encouraging teacher like her, who explains everything but without making you feel dumb! Honestly a gem

@EightHundredFortyThree where does that come in?
"Your voice is a good voice" Yes, that's one of the other reasons why I've watched your channel for years
It is kinda obvious in retrospect. Like “he has a good speaking voice, of course he has the raw materials of a good singing voice, duh”
I know phrases like "A lot of singing is just the confidence to do it" sound like consolation or oversimplification but after 3 years of high school choire I can confirm that this is actually more true than you would ever think. My voice was way worse than Tom's when I started doing this and a year later I was already singing Mahler's Symphony no 2 to a few hundred people feeling like I'm almost a pro. But even though practice is important and right now I'm out of shape, just being confident can get you really quite far and I can hear that in my voice, I recognize the rustyness but I also recognize that sheer confidence makes me sound okay already which is a huge improvement over the inexperienced me from the past.
It makes sense. Lack of confidence causes tension, and tension causes even bigger issues. For one, it contributes heavily to poor technique. If you're overly nervous and insecure, you're probably going to have poor breath and diaphragm control, and you'll have physical tension in your vocal cords as well as relevant muscles which may lead to you forcing things. Second, you're going to be analyzing yourself rather than just singing. Essentially, you're practicing in an environment where you should be performing. You'll be hyper-aware of each tiny mistake, and that's going to just compound the issues and cause a death spiral, each mistake making you even more insecure leading to more mistakes.
How did you improve it? It's so true, to be considered a "great" singer you must be equally confident as you are skilled.
When youre confident your body behaves different. Your breathing is different and as a result, your brain works towards what youre trying to accomplish instead of running away from it
Honestly, I think Tom just had raised his expectations too high, from hearing perfectly produced, more-perfect-than-humanly-possible vocals sung by highly talented, highly trained singers all day, every day; also, hearing your own singing voice takes some time to get used to, just like hearing your own speaking voice does. That was not bad at all, seriously!
Just here to say the amount of effort Tom Scott puts into his subtitles is insane and so incredibly on brand. I don't know any other CS-tvr who uses different colours for different speakers; it's like I'm watching the BBC!
HAHAHAHHA ADAMS HARMONISATION
"I'm not gonna start a singing career" But Tom, "If educational videos were filmed like music videos" is already a bop
Hello educational videos were filmed like music videos" is already a bop, I'm Dad.
@Kiban accompanied by two drums and a cymbal, surely.
@Alice C Oh please, I need this in my life!
@Kiban actually, yes, that's the best one, easily
As is "We Flew a Kite in a Public Place"
You can also record multiple takes of a song, pitch correct it, and then play it back into the singer's headphones while they sing and record the final take. This give them an in-tune choir to sing with and it tends to guide the singer to the correct pitch naturally. So their vocal performance isn't pitch corrected at all, but they used the pitch correction as a coach.
Petition for Tom to continue his vocal lessons, and give us a little something for Christmas this year.
Adam "No holds barred" Neely and Tom "No bars held" Scott, together at last, for one holy night only, with accompaniment and actually valuable advice from Beth Roars.
I'm a recording engineer and I work with pitch correction a lot in my job. I have to say, the chest voice recording is not bad at all, with a bit more practice and experience (mostly so you get comfortable and are confident with it) you could really have something professional sounding. But Adam touched on something important that some of my clients have had trouble understanding. Timing and pitch are the only things we can correct for, we do not yet have the technology to take the "you" out of your voice (and I mean that in the nicest way). I get clients often telling me they want to sound like whatever famous singer, and the fact is that if you aren't Beyonce, you're never going to sound like Beyonce. (That's why she's Beyonce, because she's the only one who sounds like that.) No matter how much editing, pitch correction, and mixing we do to your voice, you will always sound like you. Energy of the performance, vocal timbre, emotion, etc. can never be fixed in post, so it's important to get those right at the time of recording.
I would unashamedly buy an entire album of Christmas songs sang by Tom with his chest voice. His voice is actually so good like wtf
Tom, Please give us a full version of "O Holy Night". I do not ask this ironically. Thanks.
Head version pls
Signing this petition
signed. I would buy this!
I want this so much.
I would absolutely pay full price for a single of a choir of autotuned Toms, maybe a great Christmas charity single.
I've seriously spent my ENTIRE LIFE talking in the "front" of my mouth and never knew you could 'move' it. Watching Tom & the teacher discuss this & show examples blew my mind. Doing it myself now & I literally have a new voice I've never heard, wtf.
Dude her teaching in this has almost made me wanna learn to sing professionally :D Lover her energyy
As someone that is deeply uncomfortable with my voice , let along singing, this is so wholesome
Beth is a phenomenally good teacher. My goodness!
Tom, i just wanna say it’s amazing you’re pushing yourself to do these things outside of your comfort zone. HOWEVER something i’ve been taught at drama school is; “don’t self eliminate.” i.e don’t put yourself down on something you do, even if it is slightly wrong or slightly off. I promise you your voice isn’t even that bad, and you don’t need to be putting yourself down about it! we are all there with you! SO DONT SELF ELIMINATE!
If Tom’s “I can’t ride a bicycle” had been like his “I can’t sing”, that would have been a very short bicycle video.
@nirfz I think it still works as an analogy, it's definitely harder to pick up a language outside of a family you already know, but it's wayyyy easier for someone who already knows how to program in C to pick up Python than it would be for someone who knows nothing about programming. It's about relative difficulty, I'm fairly confident you picked up C/C++ faster than someone who knew no other languages (as long as you already knew ASM/BASIC, if you were learning them all at the same time it doesn't count). Once you know the fundamentals, you just need to figure out how each language implements those, and which parts they abstract away.
@Parnikkapore Prompt That's exactely the point i was trying to make.
@nirfz Changing between different families of programming languages, e.g. 80s ASM and C/C++/Python/JS, is generally more difficult than switching between languages in the same family.
@tom I would not say so. I learned assembler and C (and C++) in engineering school a long way back. And while i had no problem with assembler or basic as programming languages, i struggled with C and C++ a lot. Your analogy only works if the programming language is structured the same way.
@Qlmmb2086 It's probably like how a programmer who really knows how to code in one programming language can probably pick up coding in another language relatively easier than someone who has no programming experience at all
She's a truly amazing tutor. Her style is relaxed, friendly, and sort of self-deprecating (in a positive way that makes one feel at ease).
wow this is exactly how i am when i sing, i'm so self-conscious and nervous. it terrifies me. i have such immense respect for tom's bravery doing this
Tom is so sweet when he's embarrassed, we've all felt that way before. Good for him for going through with it anyway!
Tom, you are SO likeable and I love how you put out your insecurity on the Internet even though it's a tough one. I think I've watched all your videos no matter what the subject was. You're such a great presenter. Wish you all the best Tom.
I'm a singer (mostly classical music) and let me tell you: No need to apologise for this video at all. Seeing your enthusiasm for learning about these things and how happy it made you when things worked better for you was a true delight. It actually motivated me to go practice!
Can confirm, as a singing teacher: Tom's voice is genuinely pretty good!
For the record, I think the song was Sukiyaki. I know we did that one that year.
When people say they're a bad singer, I'm reminded of my high school Men's Ensemble class. We had some people in there who at the beginning couldn't pitch-match at all. You play a note, they sing a completely different one and couldn't tell they were off. By the end of the year, one of those people was the soloist singing a ballad to his girlfriend perfectly. Sometimes it just takes practice.
Anyone who has practice speaking loudly and clearly (say, to a camera for a youtube video) will have built up some muscle strength and memory that will serve them well when singing.
Agreed. He's very good for a completely untrained singer. I've had students come in only able to sing a range of a few notes. He's well beyond that and with a reasonably good production to boot.
@exinferris Definitely. He’s got a solid foundation.
I'm less than 2 minutes in. Your voice is absolutely fine and in tune. You're just so terrified of what people think that you're stepping back. I hope this turns out to be the theme of the video.
It’s fascinating that you can both have good enough pitch memory to sing quite well in tune, AND be unable to realize you’re doing so. Gorgeous instrument, good ear. Breath support comes w/ practice and confidence. “A learning to sing” series could do well for you, I think! (Also really cool how much spill-over knowledge you have from physics/tech stuff without having studied singing. The discussion of frequencies, etc.)
Tom, you are incredibly brave for doing this. Your voice isn't bad. Really, the only thing you lack, aside from some coaching on breath and tone (and not that much coaching, either) is simply confidence. You're brave for thinking that you suck, and going through with it anyway. I've been singing and performing for almost 40 years and I'd sing with you any day, and it would be a joy.
Seeing Tom try so many new things in this channel is adorable and I freaking love it. Thank you Tom Scott you absolute legend keep being you
Tom, do an album of classic Christmas songs for charity. I'd pay $10 for a zip of mp3s, and throw them into my holiday mix. I'm legit enjoying your rendition of "Oh Holy Night" even without the auto tune. With it, it's downright amazing.
But we're all left wondering: *WILL THE "TOM SCOTT DOES CHRISTMAS" ALBUM BE OUT IN TIME FOR THIS CHRISTMAS?!*
@Dave Sisson are you being sarcastic about that fairytale of new york thing?
*In Tune
The perfect present for those on Santa's naughty list!
PLEASE!
I hope it does, that's an instant Christmas number one right there
I laughed so hard at the final choral version - I was expecting it to sound like a professional choir (and Adam probably could do it) so this was an amazing departure. Kudos to Tom Scott for doing the singing - though his natural voice is actually quite good.
Tom would be accepted into my choir any time honestly, without autotune or practice
So when can we expect the Tom Scott Christmas Album featuring the technical Difficulties Choir and friends? Charities will not know what hit them. :D
Including goose and train
Confidence is indeed the thing that most of people sucks. He’s voice is not bad at all!!!! He really can sing.
Singing is such an interesting combination of physiological and mental ability, I feel like everyone would benefit from spending time with a really good singing coach like Beth just to feel good about themselves for a little while
Tom, who hurt you? Who convinced you that you don't have a lovely singing voice? Because you truly do, Beth and Adam weren't just being nice.
@nightspicer then there are those of us who truly are to e deaf, or whatever, but don’t know or care and just screetch away! :)
I absolutely love how soothing Tom's singing voice is!
@nightspicer As someone who never sings out loud except when home alone, I gave that issue :P
@DoctorLazertron Music I after a while got used to hearing myself speak, but having to listen to singing still is just a torture
@nightspicer it’s especially uncomfortable hearing your own singing voice outside your head. Took me a long time to get used to it. I still don’t like working with it in Logic having to repeat bits over and over.
The thing about confidence definitely holds true. As my orchestra conductor used to say, "if you make a mistake, make a good mistake. Make the audience think it was intentional. If you struggle, they struggle with you"
I haven’t seen it get said anywhere, but the way you make your captains is brilliant, you put so much more effort into that kind of thing than other youtubers, makes it really nice for the ones of us that like them :)
Singer of 20 years and vocal coach over here! Tom would be a good student, for real! He has a great ear for pitch which, honestly, is a HUGE help, doesn’t beat himself up mentally if he gets something wrong and is seemingly very interested in the mechanics of the voice. Really enjoyed this!
Tom is legit a decent singer right off the bat. His pitch is spot on.
Why does watching this feel like a self-insert? Like I'm experiencing this from Tom's point of view. So relatable and natural.
Tom: I'm a terrible singer! Also Tom: busts out an amazing singing voice right away Also also Tom: clearly very much a perfectionist 😂
Ikr! He's bang on pitch, nice full tone, the vowels could use some work but his starting foundation is really solid!
That was my takeaway. Autotune cannot make Tom a good singer, because he’s already a decent singer.
Trouble is Tom can sing
@SonOfFurzehatt very true. I'm quite perfectionist when it comes to my singing & it makes me cry my eyes out to no end, when I mess something up, especially if it's something I should already be able to do. I often wish it wouldn't tear me down so much.
It is very clear that Tom is a perfectionist. What I want to know is what drives him to keep making content. Most people's perfectionism paralyses them from starting or completing anything.
oh wow adam was phenomenal for this, what a wonderful collab. thank you SO MUCH for making and sharing it!!!!!!
Tom actually has all the raw materials he needs--he has what can't be taught. With work, he actually could have a singing career. :) Here's to Tom's next channel, "Tom Scott sings". :D
You have a fabulous voice tom. Side note "Melodyne" sounds like a medication.
Melodyne - the voice medication actually makes a bit of sense seeing as it can alleviate some of the symptoms of untrained singing---the pitch and timings---but it cannot fix the rest of the portions that make a trained singer trained
1:10 I was impressed. That was a great control. I would be happy if I could sing reliably like that
You don’t need to be on track starting a singing career to make use of your voice - everybody sings, and it’s a blessing to have a sense of pitch like you do.
Long-time trained singer: Tom, your voice is 100% on-track. Even the unproduced track sounds _very_ good, I was kind of shocked you weren't singing to a click track! I would honestly recommend continuing with vocal coaching, it's super useful beyond just singing. The big thing that'll benefit is breath control, I think you'll find training that makes a big difference. This video was wonderful, thank you for the early Christmas gift.
@Ragnhild Catch-breaths are both saviors & the Devil.
@Kent Walters Yes, and also how much air goes _in,_ because sometimes you need a lot more air for a phrase and other times you don't need as much, and you generally want to use up most of the air in your lungs before taking in more, or you'll end up with stale air at the bottom of your lungs.
breath control: for all those one-takes eh?
@Kent Walters that's exactly right. Someone else can answer how to improve it better than I can though
Does breath control mean controlling how much air goes out over a certain period of time? What's involved in breath control?
Honestly confidence is a massive part of singing. You can be the worlds best singer in terms of pitch, resonance, tone, clarity etc however if you then sing somewhere without confidence you lose all of that as you start fighting your own body. You lose breath Support and become tense which rapidly strains you, and makes it so much harder to sing which causes a downward spiral of you hearing yourself singing "off" which causes a futher drop in confidence and so on
1 minute in and Tom has the voice of an angel, it's just confidence.
I want a vocal teacher that stands up and dances with me while I learn.
Okay I so badly want to take voice lessons with her!! I LOVE her energy and enthusiasm!
I feel like Tom could definitely pull off a Sinatra style show and dance number. And considering how many different things he's trying out in these shows, I fully expect him to by the end of year 2022.
THE CAPTIONS ARE SO WELL DONE! They're color coordinated, they have the notes labeled. They are so well made and crafted with care!
I noticed that immediately! Well done Tom Scott Plus!
I agree, I was amazed by all the details that were being conveyed by the subtitles - SICK PROPS to the person or people who were responsible for giving us such a boon!
@Savages Are The Best! They can, it depends what file format you use.
Wow, I did not know that youtube could do that with text? They still can't have different positions right? I had to re-watch the video with text turned on
@bloodalchemy On my screen it's covered up completely by a video thumbnail! But for those wondering, it's Captions+, by JS*
Großartig. Drei unglaublich sympathische Menschen ergänzen sich optimal und unterstützen sich. Drei höchst professionelle Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Talenten ergänzen sich optimal. Unterhaltsam, interessant und einfach klasse. Ich bin schon lange ein Fan von Tom Scott und Adam Neely und ab sofort auch von Beth Roars. Vielen Dank für diesen Beitrag.
Better than I expected. There's no way Adam was gonna help cover up the interruption from the second take.
You actually have a great voice. I'd really love to listen to you singing… without autotune.
As a person who has not the slightest idea about music theory or how notes or singing work, this has been wildly entertaining to watch, as I feel like Tom outclasses me by, like, several billion miles.
I haven't had a lot of formal music training, though I consider myself a singer (I'm a bass-baritone). I just recently started taking voice lessons, and your coaching session sounds a lot like how mine are going, especially when it comes to the break point between the upper registers. I'm going to use some of these exercises as a reference. To me, you sound like a naturally gifted baritone singer who simply hasn't practiced their instrument that much.
Tom's like that kid in school who came into a test all worried, saying "I didn't study at all, I'm totally gonna fail" and gets like an A- Awesome video. I love Adam Neely and Tom Scott, never thought they'd collide. Also Beth is awesome!
@Eric Shafto I think I might add that people being all high and mighty about singing ability are the same as the people who make fun of people for not being good at dancing, or drawing, which sucks, because those are all just human pursuits, you can be a professionally trained ballet dancer, but that doesn't mean it's not fine to just dance however you feel like
Exactly 😂 I am a little bit that person and my friend is totally that guy.
It is the most awful thing how many people have been made to feel like they can't sing when they can. Tom's discomfort was painful to watch, and was, as far as I could tell, the source of any problems with his singing.
Tom Scott is extraordinarily humble.
@benjamin mellingen that's just mean
still disappointed we didn't get a Tom Scott Christmas album yet... Though, that ending was terrifying. 😱😱
You have put out a few videos recently that a lot of people would NEVER allow on the internet and I gotta give you props.
Singing makes you feel incredibly vulnerable. I'm really impressed you did this!
"That's not music, that's a warcry" - this was a lot of fun to listen to, Tom - well done and thank you.
I really like the slight barbershop feel that Adam added to the final choral version!
You’ve seen him pass out, you’ve seen him choke on a vape, now see Tom Scott break boundaries, singing
so you're saying, we could get a video version of this where the cough is replaced/supplemented with the vape choke...
@Pedro Toledo those are the same videos
@xEqualsRandom Actually is the Ads video.
Did I miss a video? I don't remember any choking on a vape....
The cough killed me every time 🤣 But seriously though Tom isn't a bad singer considering he's had essentially no practice.
Really great to see you guys collaborate!! Hope to see an album by 2023..
Both Beth and Adam looked like they did an amazing job, and I loved the entire video for many reasons
Seeing my two favorite youtubers collab in this way is surreal
All jokes aside, Tom really has a nice voice
Insane respect for Tom for having the courage to put his singing out there in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
Tom, han never considered how this makes feel those of us who ACTUALLY cant sing. Hes fine, above average.
Tom, your singing without any autotune or practice at the beginning was really good tbh. The way u explained it before singing sounded like ur singing was gonna be really really off, but when u actually sang, it was really good. I think with just a little training u can do really well. Keep up 👍
You're honestly a good singer
That last produced track deserves a place on Jacob Collier's next album!
Wasn't familiar with Beth (though her section was phenominal!), but as longtime viewers of both Tom and Adam, so surprised and pleased to see the collab.
The first note Tom sang made me go “wait, he actually can kinda sing.”
A Tom Scott crossover with Adam Neely. I never saw that one coming. I enjoyed this. And provided Tom stays within his ideal vocal range, he's actually a decent singer.
Thanks for being such a great sport! This was so educational and funny, love it 🥰
I love that Adam couldn't resist going full jazz for that last take. Tom x Adam Christmas album when?
