Steve - Thanks for listening and it was great to talk yesterday. You're right about the loneliness. I could put more of that emotion into the performance.

you're right. That was what Vannelli was trying to tell us. The If the note is lower by even a very small amount, it can have an impact on the listener, even if the listener doesn't even know that it is flat.

Thanks Killer! In his studio Gino Vannelli was using Digital Performer to record us. And he would go in and show us our vibratos and could demonstrate both ways by just editing the wave. And we had to agree with him when the crest of vibrato goes above it sounds sweeter. But that's really subjective. He said Frank Sinatra did this all the time except for like one album. I don't know if my vibrato is consistently doing this on this track, as I think a lot of times it's not. I didn't check, but I tried. I try to do this when I practice and it is not easy. My default is to go up to the pitch and not over it. I think this is what most singers do by default. The problem with going up to the pitch and not above is if you are accidentally singing just a little flat, it really starts to sound bad. Whereas if you are shooting for a little above, and you go flat you're still good.

Ron - Thanks for your comments. Yeah this song had a big affect on me too from way back. And every time I hear it brings back those memories and emotions. It is a fabulous song. I don't know why it hits me like that. Rob - Thanks a lot for listening and the kind words. That means a lot to me Mdew - Thanks for listening!

I never in a million years would have thought to do this song. But a producer friend of mine emailed me his version - minus the vocals. Actually one of my fav's when I was really young so I couldn't resist. This is version 2 in which I take the last chorus an octave up. ( he didn't like that version, so I did another for him. That one is also on my page ) I concentrated on a tip from Gino Vannelli, which he got from Frank Sinatra - Make sure the high part of your vibrato is higher than the pitch you're singing. A lot of singers keep the high part of their vibrato AT the pitch which doesn't sound quite as good. Let me know what you think. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13243503

Wow he really did a number on it. It looks like it was originally a sunburst color with a mahogany neck which was the same as mine. Does it sound good? Is the neck straight?- 7 replies

Cool. Sounds good. I agree with Mdew - you should record that with your own accompaniment. -

Nice tone and pitch. Very relaxing to listen to. I like the story about the guitar. Sounds like it has a lot of character. You should post a picture of it. I had a 70's strat once - a 73. The frets were really low that year. Are the frets low on that one?- 7 replies

Che Gelida Manina - Puccini (opera)
gno replied to Arthur Wu's topic in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING
Excellent job. Nice resonance. I sing this song too - one of my favorites. -
The song sounds good - based on the small amount that you posted. Your voice is good - a bit out of control with the pitch on the high parts. It would be better if you had a more finished version without your friend freaking out about the next part.

Felipe Carvalho - Aces High
gno replied to Felipe Carvalho's topic in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING
Awesome job Felipe. You really have developed some great control especially in the upper register. That's not an easy song to sing. I've got a question: How much more energy are you using when singing those higher notes? From the video, it doesn't seem like you are exerting that much more.- 29 replies
