Snejk

Tack för tipsen Jens! Jag kan komma högre med en annan typ av falsett, men den saknar kraft och så fort jag tar i med stödet så spricker den, oavsett hur lite jag än tar i... Jag har aldrig riktigt förtstått twangen, eller "halvmetallisk" et cetera Saknar en hel del teori I suppose!! Steven; Glottal closure? Is that they same as keeping it a bit "unbreathy"? I keep it a bit breathy because it allows me to reach higher notes... It's something I discovered not even a year back... Prior to that I always sung more "closed" and "powerful" with my best song to perform being "Anthem" from Chess.. But, for non-overdrive vowels that kind of singing makes my voice crack... Notes like "ee" and oo" cracks at F before tenor C for example... Thanks to this breathiness I can now sing lighter and higher (though, still not at all high) I would also like to point out that I'm very confident in my diaphragm support... It's one of the few things I feel I got down... But I would really, REALLY love to get to know more about twang... I read that other thread about examples, the "witch cackle" et cetera... But... I don't want to sound cackle-ish or whiny... I want to sound... clean... Am I totally not getting the point here? I tend to be a bit daft, my apologies :3

Tack.. Yeah, that's my dilemma... I can't overdrive the vowels... But that begs the question, how can I sing loud and full "oo" or "ee" notes without resorting to a falsetto/head-coordination.. My highest falsetto notes (As you know in Sweden, we call it falsetto, regardless of breathiness or not) are kinda low in pitch (G over tenor C, G# if I scream), I've heard your screams and I would trade my entire voice for what you got, as well as that whistle you have, ANY day of the week... EVERYONE's got a middle register, and you can train that. But not everyone got the extremes, either high or low... Big thanks anyway :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXwPrhjZIGQ I just got home and recorded this while unpacking, I tried to record outside on my way home but too windy ;/ Anyway, this song is a testament to my truly not being a tenor. This song goes higher but in order for me to manage the "oh-oo-oh" before "baby, I'd die for you" I need to take a breathier approach or my voice cracks. If I do it overdrive, yeah, it cracks even worse at the narrow "oo". Anyway. I decided to start being more active on the boards, hoping to improve my voice. So, what do you guys think?

Man you take those high notes clean and confident! Love it!!!

Actually yeah, I want to make an arrangement featuring more instruments... I am however crap at that so I hope I can get some help from friends who can play guiotar/bass/etc :3 Thanks for the kind comment :3

Thanks for the comments!! The idea was like... I got the line "bitch please" in my head and thought; "what if to make a degrading rap text and sing it like a cheezy ballad?" The lyrics didn't exactly become that ghettoish but the result was as intended Now though I wish I could make it more rocky so I can play it with my band but... I can only make ballads so I have no idea how to go about doing something else with it... Glorp!!!

Oh :3 Bump... xD

I made a sloppy vid recording of this until my friend makes a good instrumental after which I can record in the studio... Anyway something I've noticed is that I can take any vowel much higher now... In the last verse "It's time to make a change, it's time to get her life back for good" I do it without getting loud... Before I could only take such notes very shouty in EH and OH vowels... Weird..: Anyway, any feedback is much appreciated!

Just checked back and dang, thanks for that comment vamacoustics! Although you give me far more credit than I deserve Before I'm ready to sing in front of people (other than karaoke) I need to improve heaps and heaps, talking about years Anyway, acting the words, not just singing them... Warmed my heart hearing that! Cheers!

Thanks a bunch Matt! Though I guess I'm not that new, I've been singing for two years now but some learn slower than others but it's the fun and passion that counts! :)

Hello there everybody! I just got notice of this community and figured I'd join Thanks for havin' me! I thought I'd post a few songs... I haven't been singing for very long nor have I ever sung in a band... Hopefully I will find one soon though! It is World of Warcraft. A rockpopsynth-thingy... Sad song in G Major... Lacking a better title xD Kinda pop-schlager or something... Me singing a song by Sonata Arctica called Shy... Thanks for listening and all the best! :)
