  1. I will reply to you because you are a Paul Stanley fan...me too brother.... To be honest; you have some pretty darn good capabilities with range. The enunciation is the problem for me. I would like to hear the words sung more crisp... "Cut me up"- cool tune; you sound good man....My problem is not your vocal ability its more of a critique that I would like to hear you sing and enunciate the words instead of trying to sound like Green Day English accent stuff. Forgive me if you actually do have a English accent. "Filthy memory" definitely has some Paul Stanley influence. You are a young guy; your voice will mature; do not stick to the same type of music; diversify tour voice...sing some lower register stuff too; you have a nice mastery of the high notes; real test is to control a lower register like "More Than Words" by Extreme... Keep rocking, you'll do well. Study the words and phrasing and really say the words and don't try to sound English.(my opinion)
  2. HI there, sounds pretty damn good to me, good power, great pitch. Probably the only thing I would suggest is working on your enunciation on some of the words to make it mroe crisp like when you say the word "Same" overall performance was very good and would be fun to hear live. Post something that is more of a ballad so I can hear how you can control your voice in a lower register...I detected some tenseness in your voice in parts and maybe even lack of air from time to time; but I am being very picky... Let me know. Byron
  3. Hi there, it’s pretty good, fun song and I bet people would have that feel good sensation if you perform it live. Of course I can tell that English is not your native language. To me you really need to study each word and phrasing so that you enunciate the words better. I thought the morning sun was far better than the first song. You spoke the words a lot better and they were more understandable. I would love to hear you sing in your language. I bet it would be outstanding. You are very good I think...Definitely a soft hearted and emotional singer...I liked it... Not to be offensive thou, I hope that you understand what I am talking about... First song you open with "I am not surprised" for example I do not hear the "ED" at the end "Tuck myself out" I do not hear the "T" in "out", "I Get" I do not hear the "T" Work on finishing the words, look at the letters and be sure to sound them out. I do not want you to sound like you are forcing the letter pronunciations militaristic; but try to capture each word as full as you can and keep it soft and well rounded as you are. Byron
  4. Djemass, I am sure you were nervous singing in front of a camera... That took a lot of guts. Your singing has lots of potential... when you sing loud 3:20 in the song is just yelling pretty much and is not pleasing to my ear; but equally important to keep trying, by using the diaphragm. I see that you are investing in books and CD's; this is awesome to understand the theories. The same people that have written those books can help you even greater by doing a couple online skype training...I recommend this whole heartedly. Your posture is not correct, you are singing almost entirely from your chest and up and the notes sound very tinny because you are not putting your full body into it. You can do it and I bet you are going to do very well in the future. As you begin to find your voice I recommend singing in front of people with less strenuous songs; stick to simple melodies. When you rehearse, make sure you work with an instructor to learn how to feel what you are singing from below your belly button, up through your stomach, chest and through your mouth...Repost in a month after you follow those steps; I guarantee you it will be like night and day and you will have a new foundation to continue to build your voice.. Byron
  5. Sonheillon is a cool song, Live I bet it would be great as is. However, I cannot stress the importance of finding a vocal coach help you with you breathing technique. You need more support and bottom end tone...I know you have it; you have got to reach deeper. The high note was cool. Sounds good man. Byron
  6. Hi Burt, its fun music that you sing along too. You are pretty darn good. Every day with you had a couple of pitch areas such as 52-54 seconds in and 59 and 100 seconds. "Much Too young to feel this" is better; more upbeat and nice sustained tones. "Stuck on You" not bad, I would not stray away from "Guess I'm on my way" from the original, I think it would sound better if you stuck to the original version. The Harmonizer sounds great. "Lonesome town" is good "Amie" is good... Sounds like you are on the right track...you should work on scales; you need to work on expanding your range and this can be done either on your own singing scales with a guitar or other instrument and go as low and as high as you can without cracking. You have good singing skills. I think if you work on more dynamic range; you could be really good. Keep singing. I would recommend working with a voice coach a few times to observe your singing posture and breathing technique, I do detect some areas you could have better control of pronouncing words in correct pitch. Byron
  7. Knowing that you are working on your voice by yourself and probably do not have singing experience outside of your home I think you have done a awesome job thus far, keep working on it and you will get better. I have pointed out what I am hearing below: I think the vibrato is too weak. I do not believe you are capturing enough breath to support the vibrato all the way through. This is a nice acceptable amateur performance, though too tense. It’s a bit boring for me; too much of the same melody. You should really work on the song, it’s a nice choice for you to master. I urge you to consider a few lessons with a reputable voice coach. I think at minimum four lessons or so. If you have skype many voice coaches can work with you online such as Robert Lunte... Please do not take offense of what I am saying above; you have gallons of potential; but you need constructive direction and more singing experience if you want to get all the beauty out of your beautiful voice...In my opinion you are only capturing about 40% of what you really have inside you....
  8. Drew, this would have been an American Idol Flop for sure....however the fact that you are putting yourself out there like this means that you have a passion. What I hear is a singer that is shy and locked. You are not singing from your diaphragm and you will not know what this means until you spend some time with a vocal instructor to provide proper instruction. You need a hands on approach; I encourage you to make contact with Robert directly and do a Skype lesson or see if Robert can find you a reputable voice instructor in your area. You do not need to spend your life with a vocal instructor...If you are on a tight budget I would at minimum suggest that you work with someone at least once a week for a month then sing the National Anthem for us again...I will be waiting. Like anything else in life it takes work. Keep practicing. An instructor will provide you with scales and teach you how to sing them properly so you can have an effective warm up.
  9. You are great. Definately doing a super job with your Theatre performances. I like the song 3:30 minutes in the background is red. I like your vocal and personality in that performance and can see you persuing a solo pop career doing that style and attitude; the Barbara Streisand was really terrific and you have a spark about you. that I imagine people like. My least favorite was the song 30 seconds or so in...there was a flat note around 52 seconds in which I am sure you are aware. Keep doing what your doing; if the video is any indication; it seems it gets better each time... Your a joy... Byron
  10. Jonpall, you did a nice job, with a live band it would be hard to decipher the original artist to yourself. I can tell you are very good. Keep it up; I give you kudos for playing guitar (even thou you have very basic guitar skills) your vocals far outshine your guitar. I say have someone else play the guitar and then sing it. It will be much better you would be a lot more comfortable. Having the basic skills to play any instrument is great for a singer to learn how to anticipate and sing on key with what you are playing. Byron
  11. you have a great voice and lots of power but you are not in full control of it...play with a metronome or tap your foot, you speed up and slow down throughout the song.....there is too much noisy loud singing; not enough breath; it sound like you are singing the whole song in one breath. You showcase your voice in some nice crecendos; but I would like to hear you tone it way down. Sing with more bassier tone, open up your mouth and throat and slow the song down. Sounds a little chesty in some parts too. keep practicing...you could be very very good.... Listen to the beginning of the song how you sound, I loved it at first and was a tolerable volume...as soon as you sing the lyrics "first class ticket" you begin to speed up.... just throttle back a little and sing consistant when you started off the song... "When we haven't even got a prayer" sound far reached and whiney...." Try again and repost...
  12. Awesome job with Mustang Sally...I have heard so many bands sing it and grew to hate it; your version rules. All the other songs are you did are great too. no crticism on my end; you are comfortable with your voice. BC
  13. I dig the tune on youtube...nice job...very Iron Maiden sounding...great work...convincing... You guys have the music and voice...get your guitarists to rock out bend there bodies back and forth or something...your bass player does it once and a while; but is all alone and does it in small spurts...you have a good stage presence; work on the rest of the dudes. The song on your Myspace "Infinity of Pain" is great...you sing it for the most part very well. Songs are too long thou for my taste....One thing that I will comment on is when you reach for the high notes...like the chorus Infinity of Pain its hard to make out what your saying most of the song...you seem a bit a week when you are singing in the very beginning...your comfort zone seems the high power scream singing...work on developing more texture and tone in your softer singing voice as well as work on strengthening your breathing; bring the air up from your diaphragm, you have not fully developed that technic..It seems to me you are singing in part diaphragm & chest; focus more on diaphragm...this does not come from just singing during rehearsals..you will need to strengthen your voice on your own time doing vocal excercises... I recommend www.thevoiceconnection.com and check out the book on techiques "The Ultimate Breathing Workout" is a 9-step exercise system designed to strengthen your lungs, diaphragm, abdominal muscles while improving your lung capacity, breath support and sustain time. Byron
  14. HI Anonimuzz, very good start as a beginner. I think you have great potential. You have great power too; just no control; you are singing too much from the chest too; you need to reach deeper into your diaphram...the end part of Adagio is out of control really... I detected numerous pitch related issues as well, not a deal breaker thou... I know you can do soo much better than this; but you must see a good Voice instructor to help you work on basic fundementals... "La Lettre" - Once again, not terrible, you would receive a round of applause around the dinner table singing for family and friends; but you would not get the gold ticket on American Idol yet. You are not singing the high parts correctly; its not just to deliver with increased volume; its about textures, tones, smooth transitions... It won't take you long to be a great singer; you have some work to do.
