As with your "something" cover I think this is fantastic! May I ask where you got the backing track??

It is fun to play around and try to change the feeling of a song as you mentioned Would love to hear anyone of those you listed yourself! Yeah I do sound different on Burn, personally I dont think its any good at all. Its up there mostly as a memory for me and my friends. I crack (not in a controlled way) ALOT during the song, also the long notes I dont really have a grip over them in this clip. The highest notes / falsetto screams, are way to low and to hollow then how I originally sing them. I think you can hear under the last verse in the clip that my voice feels "steadier" (atleast I hear it very clear) Much of this insecurity that you can hear in the song is because I had to rush on the stage I was backstage and it was part of a production, ive missed the announce that I was going up on stage in the monitor that we all had in our dressing rooms. I was actually in the bathroom When I heard the intro riff going off I totally lost it and went "SHYT!". Had to abort the plans of urinating halfway in and run to the stage with all my power. When you hear me sing the first notes "the sky is red.." I just litteraly grabbed the microphone. Because of this I had HUGE problems with having a controlled breathing and to sing with support, my head was in a totally other place Just a fun story behind it I guess ..haha Cool that you think im on my way of having a good blues voice tho! That has been my primary aim for a long time, bluesrock vocals. Im gonna be sure to check out the band you said I sounded like! Thanks four your response!! :)

Thanks alot you guys! Your replies really made my day over here, thank you for that! Coming back to the song itself, aside from there being a few mistakes here and there. I am really interested in how you guys interpret my vocal TONE. The quality of my vocal tone and how its beeing heard (what kind of emotion am I giving out, and/or what does it remind you of, and is there any other way I could try sing to make it better) is what im really out to inprove. Nice to se another member from Sweden here! Again, thank you so much! Edit: Ive managed to upload the clip on youtube, so you dont have to download it! Im guessing since im posting my youtube user here yall gonna see my other clips, so I better post them here also Deep Purple - Burn (Live) Kelly Clarkson - Since you been gone (own version) Own song, I have no idea what this is lol, im just adding diff. harmonies as a goof to make an "R´n´B" song, with lyrics suitable for the genre lol

This is some REALLY great stuff man! I absolutely love the vibe your giving out here! If I was to say anything I would say that in my oppinion it lacks a little bottom just as you approach the higher notes 1.19-1.22 in the song, the second time you sing "I dont know", I would personally try to put more (can u say balls?) on I and DONT then aim for a (just a little longer) straight note on Know and end that longer "know" with a nice downward spiraling vibrato (little rnb touch). I see now that u use a shure sm57? Maybe thats whats making it sound like it lacks bottom for me. 5 out of 5 ! EDIT EDIT EDIT!! Now I found it! lol, something that I would really want you to try for yourself!! As I was saying with the "I dont know" part, try to aim on a really high note on "dont" the second time you sing it, move up in your higher register and allow yourself to crack on the note (high crack or low crack, try both) I think that would be fantastic!!

Hey guys, and girls to ofcourse! Ive been randomly browsing around this forum and reading, listening, picking up a few things here and there. All ´n´all Ive gotta say you got a fantastic community going on around here, and I hope to be a part of it. Just a few short lines about me: Im 24yrs old, live in Sweden and ive been singing since I was 17, not long before my 18th birthday. When I was 20yrs old I started to take my singing more seriously then ever and from that point on my goal has always to become better and better in what I do (or trying to do?). I love rock music, to be more exact I love rock from 70s/80s, listen to alot of Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Zep, etc. and alot of AOR music. I have a clip for you guys that´s from 2009, its me singing Hush by Deep Purple, doing it acousticly with a friend in the studio. We pretty much just went into the studio and said, lets lay this sucker down. Took a few takes (splitting up verses and chorus, and adding/playing around with a few strange backing vocals in diff keys/pitch <--dont know the word for it in English, help me out here). Other then that I know theres a few really rough parts in it, but I really didnt want to do alot of retakes for each part so I just let them be as they are now. Let me know what you think! I would appriciate it greatly! Sorry if you get a hard time reading/understanding all of this, English is not my native language Here it is! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1O8P4PF9 Sry for the file, couldnt find a place where I could upload this to play directly in the brower, I hope you all listen to it anyway! You can just choose to open the file with any music player you have, dont need to save it on your computer :)
