Wow Don! You are good! the way you wrote the first post you had me fooled! You are a professional my man! I am not into swing music much but i really liked your voice!

Fahim

I'm still hoping Steven Fraser finds some time to give me some feedback

Fahim

Hi Andrew, same feedback from here. I didn't find your tone to be too muffled. Its quite nice. Also try what Steven says, standing up will change the sound for sure. Also, being an asian myself, I think there is ever so slight a difference on how we sing English (because its not our first language). So that might also be a reason why your friend says you sound muffled?

you can check out my reverb page if you have some time: http://www.reverbnation.com/ashiquemfahim

Keep on singing!

Fahim

No problem at all. Youtube is maybe the best place to put songs on, so just for the future, I need to know how to do this I'll let you know how it goes.

Super. Send me the check for suggesting this when you reel in the big money :D

I was trying to do that yesterday but I'm having a real hard time posting mp3 files on youtube. I also tried converting the mp3 to a wmv file but it didn't work. I'll try again now and see what happens...

Oh Sorry man. Don't bother if its a big hassle. no problem.

I don't know the original song, but I liked your voice. Smooth and pleasing :)

sigh...can't download. can't even open the page. most prolly my office network won't allow it

Care to post it in youtube for me?

Fahim

sigh...can't download. can't even open the page. most prolly my office network won't allow it :(

To be with you is a very very hard song to tackle, crazy you take it on your first time on stage, sounded great!

:D:D ... It was crazy! But it was my fav song so wanted to give it a shot.

Thanks Jens!

the song is called offshore

Hi Joryy,

I can't access myspace from work. Will it be possible to upload a clip in a file sharing network (except sendspace)?

thanks

Fahim,

killer job on your first performance(vocal.) I think "To Be with You" is pretty tough vocally(but that's just me) and you sounded like smoked it(The sound quality could be better obviously.) Look forward to hearing some current songs now that you've been doing some voice work. Cheers.

Smoked it?! Wow! Thanks for your kind words my friend. I am gathering my couage to post something current as days go by . I don't think i am good enough yet!

Cheers!

Think the singing is good . Evryone say To be with you is easy but not for me lol

Hehehe yeah man, not for me either. The sudden leaps here and there ('Staaand Up' little girl for example) always gets me

thanks for listening and feedback, brother.

Hi Fahim,

I see your shoulders tensing up when you are singing the higher notes. I would recommend you get well versed on the foundations of singing. Breathing properly, relaxing the body and the mind. Think of it like playing your guitar. You didn't get to where you're at playing without doing the basics first and then practice, practice practice...right? You are playing the electric very well. Splitting your brain (singing and playing at the same time) takes lots of practice.

How about picking a song that the band can handle on their own and you just sing it? Get to feel what it's like to be a singer. Don't stop practicing with the guitar but learn one song and just sing. Good project?

I think you have the raw talent....just develop it like you did for the guitar!

cheers!

Dear Michele,

thanks for your analysis and feedback. What you are saying is very true. Since this clip I've actually taken my singing aside and developing that part only, while ofcourse playing the guitar separately (i am an instrumental guitarist, most days of the week )

Thanks for the suggestions!

good tone. Powerful sound, maybe get a bit closer to the mic and cut your sound a little bit to give yourself some more freedom. You may be singing it a bit too hard so it's hard for you to move around vocally. It sounds to me like you're closing your throat on some of the consonants and when you go higher in pitch.

Sing the song more, and use a mirror to watch the back of your throat and make sure you keep it open! (easier said than done heh). Nice job, your guitar playing is awesome, and you have a very pleasant sound.

Hi man thanks so much for your kind words. I posted this one and another song again in a more recent thread, so it would be great if you can drop by there too! BUt thanks a lot!!!

:D Thanks Jonpall. It was my first 'singing' performance...I've been playing guitars only for several bands for a long time.

Thanks for your compliments!

Hoping the others will give me some feedback too

Fahim

Hi everyone...

Am posting two vdo clips from a performance around in mid 2008. This is my first time 'singing' in public so am quite nervous. (before any lessons/practicing/TMV knowledge)

Let me know what you think!

TO BE WITH YOU (MR. BIG) - I posted this a few months back, and only Robert was kind to comment and give me a lot of encouragement. Hope others will drop their 2 cents now!

Hi David, i support jonpall as well. I, for one, like to hear what other singers are doing and what they are changing and improving and I learn from that. I would read what other members suggest to jonpall and think about it if it applies to me as well. So there's no harm in this. and also, compliments do help a lot for any musician (well any human being) so we are all helping each other here.

Cheers

fahim

Jonpall...I liked both of them! And actually I thought the AC/DC one was done better than the U2 (although the Ac/DC suffers a bit in sound quality) Overall they were really good!

It was quite nice actually! Please keep singing!

Fahim

hey...it was good. but i think you are straining on the upper notes. i am no expert but thats what i heard. hope this helps!

fahim

Good Stuff man...i really liked it. also your guitar parts ... I am on soundclick too, look me up. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=549938

Hi Robert, thank you for the feedback. It is great to hear that coming from you. I have recently started taking singing seriously and am working with some lessons. Hopefully I'll get better if i keep at it. Thank you again for the comment about the pitch, right now that is what worries me the most.

fahim
