I have this project that I have to have finished by tomorrow morning, and I'd love to hear your opinions on these tracks, and whether they're good.  I need to pick 2 of them to use, so if you like them, I'd love to hear which 2 you think I should use.  Thank you in advance!!!   1. You Think You Know Somebody (Hunter Hayes)   2. Twisted (Carrie Underwood)   3. Have A Nice Day (Bon Jovi)   4. Wanted (Hunter Hayes)

Thank you!  I wasn't sure.  It always sounds to me like I'm out of tune even though I'm not     There's a reason for that.    Is it clipping?  I thought the interface showed it being green the whole time, but maybe I need to turn the gain down a bit more.

I did a quick acoustic cover of "Wonderwall" by Oasis.  I'm not sure whether or not it's a good song for my voice.  Can I get some feedback on it?    

That was really good. You have a nice voice. Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but I certainly got the impression that you've been doing this for a while.

Sounds pretty good! I actually think it might help you if you relax a bit. I could be wrong, but to me, you sound very controlled - which is good - but maybe just loosening up a bit when you sing would make a difference? Not sure, but I do know that it helps me, especially with Bon Jovi songs. For me, the more I try to sound good, the less good it sounds. I also do agree with the echo thing, but other than that, it sounds pretty good. :)

I think it sounds great. :)

Tell me about it... I don't hear anything wrong with your voice. I think if anything, it's probably just that you're not confident singing and playing guitar at the same time yet. It can be hard, especially if there's barre chords.

I could be wrong, but your guitar sounds a bit out of tune to me, just so you know. I do like your voice, though. You remind me of the lead singer from The Fray, actually. I'm new to this, too, so I can't really offer you any advice, but your voice has a good sound.

I'm not experienced enough to give a very good critique, but I liked it. Your voice sounds very strong and is actually quite soothing. That type of song definitely seems to suit your voice well, in my opinion.

Aw, thanks, guys! Haha I stopped before the last chorus because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't sound anything like it's supposed to. The highest notes I did do were a challenge already. Those notes are basically the top of my chest voice range. Honestly, I think I've sung that song.... twice? But I've listened to it like 2,000,000 times. And I do have the instrumental version (not the crappy karaoke-style things, but the actual song without Jon's voice) but I don't know how to do that. I use my computer to record right now, and if I played the song without headphones it would drown me out. I was singing along with the song on headphones in this particular one, but I could still hear me fine. I did 3 others but I think this one was the best. And yeah, I probably was smiling, at least somewhat. I enjoy singing along with Jon. Haven't met him yet, so it's the best I can do for now... Do you want me to edit in the instrumental track over my voice to hear both? edit: One last thing. Is there anyone that comes to mind as sounding similar to my voice in some way? Not to compare, since everyone is unique, but maybe it'd give me some good ideas of songs to cover that would suit my voice well.

Posted this the other day but didn't get any answers, so I figured I'd just post one link instead of 4. Anyway, I know it's not perfect, but any critique would be appreciated. Thanks! https://soundcloud.com/user7915197/bon-jovi-cover-living-on-a

:D Thank you, ronws!

So, I was playing around last night and one of the songs my mom told me to record because it apparently sounded pretty good. So here it is - opinions would be much appreciated. I've learned a few new techniques for improving my sound since the last post, so hopefully this is an improvement. https://soundcloud.com/user7915197/little-bit-of-soul-bon-jovi

I'm no expert in technique or anything like that, but overall, I think it sounded pretty good! Nice job! By the way, I was a little confused by the page at first, too, but there is a Play button in the middle (the l> shape) of the page, which works.

Certainly can! So I take it you didn't notice anything in particular that I'm doing wrong or that could be improved or anything like that? I mean, obviously I'm still working on making my voice good, but if there wasn't anything in particular that you noticed, then that's good, right?
