Hey Chavie,

I really like your voice, really good tone. Although I don't know most of the songs you covered in their original versions,

I liked Simple Man the most, I think it really suits your vocal style. You've got great range and you convey emotion.

One thing I noticed is that you approach songs in a softer way than the originals - not a bad thing but I kinda missed it on

the priest song for example.

A great voice overall, tons of potential,

Thanos

Thanks for the compliment man

I agree about me being too soft of a singer, ive been told that program im using (singing success) is not really for the music i sing,i want a little more balls to my singing, just not sure how to get to that point yet.

i have learned a lot from singing success though.

Hey there,

I checked out the tunes I knew best (Breaking The Law and Black Dog and here's my thoughts...

Firstly I can hear that you have had training and you have good control. Now it's time to unleash the BEAST inside! lol Singing rock is like walking a very fine line between control and wild abandon. I often cross the line a little too much and need to reign myself in. You should do the opposite and really go for it vocally. I know you can do it! Once you learn just how far you can push yourself it will just be a matter of refining and controlling that raw power.

GO FOR IT!!! :cool:

[Chavie]

Thanks MAN, i think im gonna start with something easier then priest next time lol

[Snax]

Naw, you can do it! You just have to go beyond your comfort zone.

I also really like the tone of your voice. I listened to Simple Man, and I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

I likes me some Lynrd Skynrd. You did well on all of these. You have such a light voice that is was refreshing, for example, to hear a lighter voice than, say, Ronnie Van Zandt, who had such a "thick" voice.

[Chavie]

Thanks man

i think i need to change programs through, im currently using Singing success.

Im thinking about "raise your voice" to work on my power and grit

any other recommendations ?

[ronws]

Vendera's a good choice. Robert Lunte with the 4 pillars is coming out with version 2.0 that shows a lot more grit and distortion.

Hi and Happy Holidays everyone!

I really liked the tone of your voice

Have you tried the Ken Tamplin DVDs?

I have heard they are great for rock vocals..

I plan to order them soon myself

You have a great potential, so go for it!
