Review My Singing Membership SwedishRocker Posted June 14, 2016 Review My Singing Membership Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hello I been practicing this song for some time now. Still tough to pull off but i tried my best. My band is gonna perform this song live on friday. What do you think? What is good and what is bad? I recorded vocals over a karaoke track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Carvalho Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I took a listen. Again volume problems. Again basic issues with melody/timing. Again I ask: did you get the program? Are you following it and studying daily? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Robert Lunte Posted June 15, 2016 Administrator Share Posted June 15, 2016 Simon, Great song to cover and practice for singing. I have been singing this song since I was 15 years old... its good to see your working on it. There is a lot to learn from it. Your Review: - ... ??? I can't hear it??? Can you turn up the levels? - But what I can hear, I have to be honest, it needs a lot of work... Your not finding the resonance and your not narrowing the formants/vocal tract... your choking, pushing, etc... as I think you realize. You need help all over this Simon... ... Take a lesson with me and let me coach you on this!! Learning how to find the resonance, vowels, narrowing, etc.. on this song, will not only help you with this song, but with every other song. Learning from one song, makes all future songs easier to understand and sing. It is a worthy investment. You are not going to get this, if you don't get in front of a good coach that can show you what you need to do... Also, anyone that purchases The Four Pillars of Singing training program right now, also gets 1 free lesson with me... so, you can't loose. Stop struggling, and do this the right way. Learn what you need to learn... stop stabbing in the dark. Thanks for your help Felipe...

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted June 15, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 15, 2016 So muffled and low in volume, I wonder if you are singing through a pillow. Except for the loudest and highest notes, many of which are off-pitch. You may want to work on that song some more and try it for a show at a later date. I think you can do the song, it's just going to take some more work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simon, you seem to really enjoy performing man, that is a good thing because it can be used to fuel you while you are training/practicing to be the best you can be. I really just don't get why posting a song in the review section and ask what people think is good or bad if you don't care. Unless you were expecting only praises and got some constructive criticism instead, and couldn't handle it. If this is the case, perhaps you should try to change this mindset and preconceptions about how your vocals sound, because it will hinder your progress as a vocalist. Good performance Friday!

Felipe Carvalho Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 To "not sound good" it would need to improve quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Review My Singing Membership SwedishRocker Posted June 15, 2016 Author Review My Singing Membership Share Posted June 15, 2016 Well i made another one. This one is more my style distortion and more thrash metal sounding like Slayer or Pantera. I think i will go for this kind of sound on friday. And no it does'nt hurt my voice i have been doing that kind of vocals for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted June 15, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 15, 2016 Have you even listened to any of these examples? The voice needs to be at least as loud as the guitars. It may sound freakin awesome but NO ONE will hear it like that. "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights."

TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted June 16, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 If you cannot hear the voice what difference does it make whether it is good or not? The guitar player will get the praise not the singer. "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted June 16, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 I am not trying to be a jerk. I am trying to help. The vocals need to be heard clear and on top of the guitars. The vocals are totally buried by the music. The first and best tip that I can give you is to listen back to your recordings. At least get the vocals loud enough that you can truely hear how you sound. 1 "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Carvalho Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Here is an attempt to bring what you were doing forward so we could actually hear it, compressed the living hell out of it, multiband included to equalize the voice timbre. https://app.box.com/files/0/f/0/1/f_70162063853 Its all squeezed budy, naive copy of a few maneirisms both from Bruce and Phil, you will end up hurting yourself if you continue this way. But it's the last reply, if you don't care, I am not worried either, its not my voice after all. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERIOD. Now buck up and take these guys advise... Part of becoming a great singer is to be able to humble your pride... over and over and over again. We all have done so. It is part of the lifestyle of being a singer. There is no place to be "stubborn" about your ideas in singing, when others are giving you feedback that is contrary to what you believe. The mind will use the ego to protect its esteem. This happens unknowingly a lot when you are a singer. You have an opportunity to grow, but you have to listen to what we are telling you and stop fussing.
