A good mixing program to start with is Audacity, because it's free and pretty user friendly. Also I've heard Garageband is good, if you have an Apple computer. Mixing takes a lot of practice mostly, so just experiment with effects and settings, and maybe look at some tutorial videos on YT.

Like mixing, singing in Japanese mostly just takes practice and some patience. When I first started doing covers in Japanese, I would go through the song I wanted to cover and just sing through line by line. If I was having a lot of trouble, I would use the "change tempo" effect in Audacity to slow the song down and then gradually speed it up until I could do it correctly at the right tempo. More than anything, though, just listen and mimic ^^

Just one last piece of advice too - although practicing different kinds of voices is fun, make sure to work most on the voice that feels most natural to you! Don't push yourself too much to try and develop different kinds of voices uwu

Good luck~ <3 Thank you! Your Tips were very Useful! The mic seems really nice! uvu ah, audacity, i used that some months ago but it was hard to use for me *didn't understand it* Xx

The Japanese singing is no Problem, the only Problem were the tones. Sometimes i don't get whats high and whats deep now XD" *maybe a bit tone deaf hahh*

Yeah thanks! It's just that...There are songs wich i can sing with the shota voice the best, and the same with the girly and with my normal deeper voice uvu thats why i sing with all 3 of them |DD

Ah and mind me to show me some of your covers? i would love to!! :3 Maybe look at scale videos like this to help practice your pitch? Just sing along with the piano to improve your pitch accuracy~ Like the other contributor said, voice lessons definitely help but they can be pretty expensive ;; My wikia page is here and my Youtube channel is here ^^ Glad to help!
