Hi Simon, I think you actually got a good voice for hard rock and metal, but you sound very constrained/chocked up in this song, especially in the higher notes. Additionally, because of the way you are singing, you are having pitch problems on the high notes. If I may humbly suggest you that if you are really passionate about music and singing, and you seem like you are, consider learning and practicing vocal techniques with either a good vocal coach or a singing method. Keep on rocking!

Jeremy,
Cool choice for a cover.
 
Your Review:
- Its cool. I like it. You have a lot of personality and cheekiness to your singing, which is super cool. You seemed to wear this song well. Might be one of the best interpretations I've heard, I had a lot of fun listening to you sing this. Your a good singer.
- Could use some refinement in the production; compression and perhaps a touch more ambiance or delay on the vocals.
- 2:54 - 3:05 - (*auto edit*) COOL!
- The back ups are a bit scattered, you could afford to tighten them up.
 
Overall, considering the playfulness of this song, I am hard pressed to find much wrong with it Jeremy. It is 85% super cool. Nice Job!

Eisa,
You can post your link in here, but we will move the post to Review my Singing. The RMS is a service. It is a consultation where you will get feedback from experienced members of the forum and from me as well. 
It is $10... Here is the link. Once you have paid, you are then automatically able to make your RMS post in the RMS forum.
 

So as the title says, stuck at F4 and can't go above it. Despite good adduction,twang,and appoggio. Once I hit G4 the balance starts faltering. I can sing above F4 with consistency but there's always some compromise, usually either a thinning with loss in body, or keeping the body but loss in upper ring.
 

i used to have trouble with the G4 as well. Frequent practice with 4 pillars helped me nail it down. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Congratulations Shigeki Morimoto!

... precisely the point of having a vocal program and certainly what I have tried to create for singers.
You are welcome Jeremy. Thank you for sharing your experience with people here on the forum. 4Pillars really will work if you take the time to learn the method, in particular, the onsets and the acoustic modes and then get proficient in putting them together into smart, tactical and purposeful routines ( ITRs ), to tackle the issues your having. Just keep going, your on a real path that will lead to success now.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Let me know when.

Yeah it was a bit whack, I was disappointed that they couldn't get the vocals right in the backing xD.  Next time I'm just going to play the music on the acoustic myself and have you record the backing vocals for me!  

I understand now. Sometimes, I dislike karaoke with included BV because they are recorded with someone else's ideas in mind.

Ahh yeah Rons, more specifically I wanted to address your critique when you noticed this: 
What happened was the karaoke track came with set backing vocal for those chorus harmonies and I went through first take and sang the right lyrics and the backing vocals sang the wrong ones.  I just said f@(% it and kept going because I was feeling good about that take haha.  The end result is a bit awkward and I was hoping some people would catch it for a laugh haha.

Haha, at the moment I sorta feel like the man behind the curtain at the end of Wizard of Oz because there is a lot of editing I did to make this sound somewhat decent.
 It's not a true blue straight vocal because rather than just singing through the song one track as I usually do I spliced the track and overdubbed all of the harder sections such as "Oowee baby I sure show you good time", "SOME PEOPLE call me Maurice.", and "Well don't you worry baby don't worry" post production 
 Also the backing vocal for the chorus is not me, it came with the particular karaoke track I downloaded which I will link for you guys here so you can see what I was working with: http://picosong.com/tgJt/
So yeah, there was some trickery involved but at least I come clean with details.  
Thanks for listening guys. 
*also ronws it would seem that our brisket party set-list is growing all the time hahaha..

I really enjoyed it and it is the right song for your voice. What I noticed is that background vocals are off in the chorus on the phrase "don't want to hurt no one." The lead vocal is on the right path, the BV strays a smidge. I have a feeling that you actually tracked BV separately, rather than dupe and change mix. Thing I learned, make the consonants soft to non-existant on BV so they do not compete with the lead line.
Great mix and recording. Definitely keep this in your set list. If you ever show up at my house for brisket, you will have to sing this song. And I will sing the BV.
Awesome song that feels like I have lived it.
Now for useless trivia. Steve Miller is from the Dallas, Texas area. He is a stickler for sound quality and so he does not play live venues very much.
Nearly every interview, someone has asked him "what is 'the pompatus of live'?" His reply is, "I have no idea. It was a phrase that fit the beat for that part of the song and I could not think of a lyric that meant anything."

Great job Jeremy! I think your timbre really suits this song. I have to agree with Musikman regarding some slightly off pitch areas, but overall it sounded good. It is a fun song to sing. I believe that if you work a bit more focusing on the pitch and resonance in the high parts, you should add this one to your set list. Keep them coming!

Hi, Jeremy. I enjoyed this version. Its nice to see, you are posting songs in areas in which you are working to improve. I have found it just as hard to master the lower end of my range and more conversational type singing such as this as it is to hit soaring high note type things. I heard a few pitchy notes but nothing that was too far from the melody etc. I would keep exploring this side to your voice and focus on pitch, which I know is tough on the lower notes of the range but just keep trying to bring as much clarity and brightness to the lower notes don't worry about moving lots of air with them. Great effort.

A song that everyone knows.  It's a bit out of my range at parts but still fun and manageable enough considering the relative low passages throughout most of the song.  I suppose it's stuff like this I should be posting as it demonstrates my singing in a range where I'm learning to improve on.. any advice or criticisms are appreciated.

*the volume is pretty loud so keep your speakers down, or it may blast you lol
 

I've always worked hard on my voice but I've never had the guidance I needed.  Recently I have elected help from Jens and Daniel and they both played a substantial role in peeling away the first layers of bullshit to get me on the right path.
  However I took lessons sparingly and unfortunately I realized I was so profoundly lost in assumptions, bad habits, bad muscle memory, etc etc that merely getting a few lessons was not going to be enough.  So that's why I recently decided to buckle down and get a genuine vocal program that I could adhere to and schedule to.. to optimize and streamline my training to it's fullest potential.  Of course, when it came time to make this decision there was no program that came more highly recommended than Four Pillars.  
I haven't even been at this for two weeks and yet I already see great progress and more importantly, I have complete confidence in the information I am being given.  I have already had two lessons with Robert and each one has been a genuine pleasure and one step further in the right direction of achieving my dream of having a big and exciting voice.  
Thank you Robert, for your help and for drafting what I truly believe to be the best program out there right now.  

Ellise, here is the song I was thinking could be cool to try.
 

Thank you Ellise  I have a few originals that would be cool to hear you sing on. They are a bit Foo Fighter-ish but a female vocal could be very interesting on them. I think it would turn out more like Pink or Kelly Clarkson with a female voice.

wow i really loved it, you are a talented song writer
please keep on writing more

Thank you for the feedback Robert. I have pretty much posted only cover tunes before but the work of all singers is to ultimately put your own original spin on all of our influences etc into new original music. It is sometimes difficult for even good singers to write good vocal melodies and performances on original material. When you are doing cover work all the basic decision making has been kind of done already, but on your own tunes its a blank slate to decide how you want to come across etc. I am glad you liked the work I have done here :). I won't be absent from the forum this long again its been hella crazy for me the last few months lol.
 

Your Review:
- Super cool punchy guitar... very Alice In Chains - ish in my first impression... I also hear you yarling, tongue retractions to make the vowels more soulful.
- Perhaps the onsets on the high / m2 chorus could be a bit more straight in and less scooping in... but I am hard press to complain too much. It is pretty bad ass. Like it a lot.
- 2:03 - 2:08 ... I liked the onsets and execution here on this part... very tight.
- The B4 on the chorus has a great tone. Good resonance and vowel.
- The vocals seem a bit buried in the mix... could get it a big hotter...
Overall, this is great. GREAT WORK BROTHER!... ITS REALLY COOL.

Hi guys, I haven't been on the forum in quite a while. I have been busy working and also super busy with my various bands and projects. This is from my band Tair. Normally in this group I play guitar and sing harmony and some lead vox not unlike Jerry Cantrell. We do mainly rock in the vein of Foo Fighters and Alice in Chains type material but this song I wrote just didn't really fit into our normal material so I just finished it on my own because I hate to leave ideas unfinished lol. Anyways, I have mainly recorded cover songs for review on the forum but I have never posted my original material so I thought I would see what you think?
 

No bullies, only tough love brothers...
