I agree with the above posters. You've got a great voice, and the distortion is placed just right. However, in the last "When I See You Smile," I would use a slightly darker sound as in lower laryngeal position.

It's a bit nasally, but other than that, it's good.

Keep up the great work! :)

mvrasseli, I noticed you don't seem to like your sound, but I think the very thing that makes an artist appealing is exactly their unique sound.

With the exception of a few artists, I personally feel that top 40 music has become very generic and sounds very much the same. There is always a certain sound that would appeal to the audiences at large and that is what is sought.

However, push past the status quo, and use that unique sound you've got to your advantage and embrace it.

Good luck!

Thank you guys so much. It really means a lot to me.

OK, I will definitely chek those artists out and try something new.

Hey ronws,

Wow! Thank you so much for listening and for commenting!

I really appreciate your feedback, and yes, some rehearsed poses might do me some good. Perhaps, it may help me to focus less on my stage fright and the inevitable jitters I get before going on stage and during the performance.

You stated my voice would be good for soul and R&B and perhaps some rock. Could you suggest some artists in the rock genre you think might be a good fit for me?

So far, I've looked into Within Temptation and trying to work in "Tides of Time" by Simone Simons.

However, in the area of soul and R&B, would my voice be a bit too light, both in weight and timbre?

Hey chele1000, thanks for the comments!

Yeah, stage fright tends to get me every time, and that's definitely something I'm working on overcoming.

The pitch problems, when I went back and listened to it, were really due to my lack of confidence during that moment. I wasn't sure or confident that my voice would do as it was told. good bit about the mic and keeping hands off. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Thanks! :)

This performance was from a talent show at my university that I participated in.

sorry about the random clapping, cheering and the sometimes shaky video quality.

Be honest, though, and enjoy!

Thanks!

I agree with the other posters here above me. Your voice fits this genre of music, and your timbre is clear and likable.

Keep up the good work! :)
