    Robert Lunte - "White Christmas" Tribute

    in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING

    Posted

        Sounds Good Robert..... Merry Christmas.

     Adolph, I usually have to use Firefox or Google chrome to get soundcloud to work. Give that a try.

          Merry Christmas to everyone.

    Thanks MDEW. I use Firefox regularly, but for some reason, Soundcloud just doesn't work for me any longer. (???) May have to try Google Chrome as you suggested....

     

    Wishing EVERYONE a Happy and prosperous New Year !!!!!!

    Cover Autumn Leaves - Critique please

    in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING

    Posted

    Well, For one:

    I'm extremely grateful and complimented by all these comments. I don't usually get offended easily. So, please... keep em' comin'. No worries at all on any criticism, at ALL!

    I LOVE iT!! :D

    No seriously.

    I respect your comments Clint, ronws, MDEW, the Aspiring Singer, and everyone else! How COOL to have "met" you all!! I look forward to more of it! :)

    In that vein: while there are days that I really enjoy and appreciate that added praise. There are certainly those times I feel frustrated when I post in forums and get only positive answers or little actual critique of areas to improve. But what am I saying??? No, it's true. A true professional is, imo, someone who WORKS at the job.....everyday and isn't stopping so that they can get their ego stroked. I like the feel-good...but I don't stop at it because of criticism. To me, those are people who don't have the character to be equipped for the pro business, precisely because it HAS to include some bad and painful situations/awful reviews from time to time/much rejection. If you stop at that....it's not a business that will survive.

    My motos for music:

    1)If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

    2)Hope for the best, expect the worst.

    3)Do it all for the Glory and Enjoyment of something far greater and more important than myself.

    I don't do these everyday. I slip and fall. But these are still my motos for now. :) :cool:

    So to that end:

    1)The mouth thing is something that I somehow do different than others. I don't understand it actually and for what reasns. Part is training from a few ppl that are not in agreement with vowel modification if the megaphone is in place properly. Some is just that I need that small opening to connect sometimes. While I love the big "LAHs" for connection too, I don't yet have a place to use it other than in practicing. It's not part of my open mouth feel. I remember that some ppl will recognize it and thinks it's odd; but I don't really care. It's the german mouth that I got, from the Good Lord above. I will use it as well as I can.. cause it's mine and I like what I got. :) I address the big mouth singers because for some reason, there are ppl out there that think it's necessary. I don't but I am willing to hear others opinions. It's part of life and it's great to have other own opinions, cause God knows that I certainly have my own. :D;) For me, when I modify vowels too much, it can sometimes cause my connection to fail altogether. I assume it's because of my deep desire to keep both upper and lower resonances singing along and I'm focusing on that mostly......with whatever oriface that it takes, but it just works this way for me. Also that concentration is because, I personally hate to flip and pull too much; but boy it's nice to hear MDEW and others here.... that when I did, that it may have sounded pretty well afterall.

    2) I do know that getting more training will mean more styles of getting to the same end results, with other techniques....and maybe that will be prettier; but for now, this mouthpiece will have to do it's thing. :lol:

    3) I have to apologize that my microphone was just not turned down on the input better so you can hear those upper belts and moderate to loud mixes with more clarity. I will post soon.

    Adolph- I tried to do as ronws here suggest and get added to the media site for a feature??? I have no clue what that means; but ok! :)

    THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!

    Now- please criticize or encourage more! :) I welcome new friends too!!!

    :D:cool::)

    Vr and Sincerely- Amy Elizabeth

    Amy,

    Cover Autumn Leaves - Critique please

    Anyone can give an opinion and it is neither good or bad. I never much liked Bruce Springsteen's voice. But he's the professional.

    Professional singers are out there recording albums and playing concerts, rather than hanging around in forums.

    Case-in-point, James Lugo, who has recorded with Nazareth, doesn't hang around much.

    One of our fellow members happens to be aquainted with James LaBrie but James is too busy to spend much time discussing singing in a forum.

    Not that there is anything wrong with discussing singing in a forum.

    Something I have learned is to not take offense at a critique. Though I have given critiques and suffered the consequences because I hurt someone's feelings and they would dog me for a year. Because people are human. So, now, I am accused of being too soft.

    To quote Ricky Nelson, "You can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself" - from his hit song, "Garden Party."

    (That's an old one. Adolph, Bob, and MDEW are likely the only ones to remember that. We are the "old" guys here.) :)

    I'll probably take a "beating" for this, but you're not the only one who doesn't like Springsteen or his vocals.

    Everything sounds the same ! And the songwriting ??? Well...........

    As for LaBrie - Really like "Wither". Just MY personal opinion.

    And now for the "old guys" >>> I'm 59 going on 39. Or is it 59 going on 29 ? Or is it 59 going on 79 ? I guess you proved your point, ronws. Losing my memory :rolleyes:

    Hey, a little humor doesn't hurt from time to time ! :lol:

    I'm not dead... but done recording! (radio interview+songs inside)

    @Adolph:

    I have the same answer, it's still in progress ;). We had a few setbacks and whatnot but a lot of progress has been made. Our whole estimated date was offset by quite a bit and I only finished tracking vocals about two weeks ago.

    So now the vocals, guitars, bass, and drums are pretty much done. It needs to be mixed and then sent out to you guys :)

    But rest assured, it's going to sound awesome; we have put an incredible amount of time and effort into it.

    (The rough mixes of two songs that are played in that interview on my first post are something to chew on, but the guitars still have to be re-amped, and all the rest of the mixing stuff needs to happen... And chris caffery of Trans-Siberian-Orchestra will probably guest solo on the second track:D)

    Thank you ! :cool:

    "Ate a stick of butter....." ? Oh man, that sounds disgusting !!! :lol:
