    Gill,
    Nice work getting rid of the noise in here... now we can properly hear you.
    This is better. 
    Do it again and I want you to do two things:
    1. watch your timing. You are rushing and jumping in front of your cues. Its rushing... so lay back.
    2. Laying back more will also... get you to sing it a little more softer. It is a bit eratic, attacking too hard... soften the vocal mass just a bit.
    Stop rushing the cues, get tighter on the timing & lay back more... a touch more "sleepy".
    take 3!

    Agreed.
    There is a lovely voice here, but it isn't being utilized to its full aesthetic potential. Draven is correct on his point about resonance. You are resonanting too much in a lower position ( throaty )... with a little bit of good direction and practice, you can learn to lift your resonance to higher positions where it can sort of "float" more. A more "top down" resonance is more maneuverability of your voice because your resonance will not be tethered by the bulk of a more primitive, throaty position. The result of this will also be a much more beautiful timbre and sound color in your voice, in particular for this kind of singing in your sample.
    Yes, my program The Four Pillars of Singing absolutely will help you if you choose to make a commitment to the training.

    Improving resonance is not going to directly produce a natural vibrato, BUT... it is hard to have nice vibrato, without good resonance. Good resonance is one of the "ingredients" to getting vibrato to work and sound good.

    https://www.smule.com/recording/bette-midler-wind-beneath-my-wings/1088277799_1483226920 This is a warts and all presentation of my singing. I tried a different intro to Bette Midler. Be interested to know whether you guys think that is works. I was going to re-record correcting any vocal errors but i feel to get the best from a review I need to show where I'm actually going wrong as well as the well-executed parts  currently I have quite a poorly chest. Any thoughts on speeding recovery? Thanks guys.

    Fun Gill. I can sort of hear your country draw... can you do this without the back vocals of JJ so we can hear your voice more clearly. It is masking your voice too much and sort of getting in the way. Let's hear YOU do it alone.

    1:09 - "and..."  a bit pitchy. sharp.
    Elise, pay more attention to the lower notes, "some..."... they tend to feel a bit abandoned. The hard stuff, melisimo sounds good. Don't take your eyes off the road on the low notes as you prepare for the high notes... Your looking down the road, preparing for the big "money" note and taking your eye off the low note that is happening in the moment. Try to be aware of both.
    SOUNDS EXCELLENT!!  KEEP GOING!

    Robert Lunte got a reaction from Adolph Namlik in What is my Vocal Fach   
    Moon,
    Why are you interested in what your vocal fach may be? Not suggesting that it isn't interesting or good to know, but depending on what style of singing you want to pursue, it may not be as relevant as you think. Do you want to sing Opera and art songs?  Do you want to be a Classical singer? Before you answer that, understand that I don't mean as a hobby or to "try it" with other styles... I mean, do you want to commit your life to focusing only on Classical singing? if the answer is yes, then vocal fach has more relevance. If the answer is no, or not that serious about it... then vocal fach is far less relevant to worry about.
    So, what say you?

    You honestly won't know for sure until you train. While it's impressive that you're singing in whistle register, the rest of what you're singing is not placed well, and therefore is not a proper representation of what you're truly currently capable of. Also fach classification is meant for classical, opera, and choral, so they can quickly put you into a pre-written part. If you're learning for contemporary voice, it doesn't matter. Any way about it, you nbeed to be training, either through a course like The Four Pillars of Singing, or with a solid teacher - which tehre are plenty of here.

    yes, has a sort of Hetfield vibe to it.
    I think its fairly cool. Your a good metal singer and have a cool sounding distortion to your voice. If I had a concern it would be what happens when you lighten that distortion? Can you sing clean?
    This configuration would seem to be tiring. Does your voice get tired quickly.
    Another thing I would recommend is work on learning the Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Gethsemane", it is a great song to learn.

    Is James Hetfield one of your influences? I get a bit of a Metallica vibe from the song which is why I'm asking. Sick song and you got a good tone. You came to the right place if you want to increase your range. By the way I love the Christian lyrics of the song considering I'm a Christian myself.

    Robert Lunte reacted to MDEW in Review my singing   
    On most of those songs there was too much processing and not my style to really hear your voice. I was able to listen to Stand by me. That sounded pretty good. It does show that you can keep a pitch and you have a pretty good tone in the lower range.
        To give you a perspective of other peoples opinion........My wife likes to hear me sing, But most of the songs I like she cannot stand the song itself. It is so frustrating to have someone who likes to hear you sing but constantly telling you to sing something else.
         So even if you have a good voice there are people who will not like it. It is just something that singers have to deal with.
         If you have a passion for singing keep doing it. Record your voice WITHOUT processing. Notice the things that you think sound good and those things that you do not like and go from there.

    No one has ever told me HONESTLY what they think about my singing voice. I'm scared to share with friends because some people I show act like it's bad but they are just being polite about it. So please someone just tell me what I need to work on so I can perfect my passion and share it with friends! https://m.soundcloud.com/illwill6

    Hey guys,
    This is one of my tracks, just so you can see what my focus is. I am doing rock / hard rock. I have been away from it for about 6 years and just starting with a new band. I have always had issues in the higher register but the new band calls for it. I'm always looking to improve, any tips are much appreciated!
