Where to practise
Nothing in Suede Sing measures this, so the self-check is your ear and your recording. What it shows: That the phrase came back on the beat by ear, against a click. There is no onset detector and no timing-error number.

Practice material
The exercises and songs play synthesized reference pitches: they supply the notes, not a recording of a singer demonstrating a technique. Record your takes in the recorder.

Work in a comfortable range and volume. Stop for pain, burning, sudden hoarseness, loss of range or a change in your speaking voice. These lessons teach practice decisions and stop rules; they don't diagnose or treat anything, and pitch readings do not assess vocal health. Persistent symptoms belong with a qualified clinician, not another attempt.
