I'm not knowledgeable about youtube voice tutorials. I like Jeanie Lovetri and her approach, called "somatic voicework" and there seem to be lots of videos in that area. Another big pop vocal method is SLS, or speech level singing. Or you could just search for R&B vocal exercises or something.
But working off of youtube is like trying to learn any complex motor skill like golf, tennis, or surgery from videos. No one has perfect proprioception and self-awareness of our weird quirks and technical shortcomings. A trained human being can point them out to you 1000x faster than you can ever figure it out on your own. And again, learning to sing is a process of self-discovery and emotional growth. It's like trying to use youtube instead of talking to a therapist. You can definitely make progress, but I'd strongly consider looking for a qualified teacher if it is something important to your life and growth as a person. You deserve it.
And of course I know there are economic barriers. Life under late capitalism blows. I hope we can one day publicly fund all kinds of teaching beyond just formal education so that we all can flourish.
Are there any YouTube tutorials for people who don’t want to shell out for 1-on-1 lessons?
