Thanks Shabutie I will keep it in mind, :)

Sounds very good! I am hearing the rest of your songs man... All great.

Keith this one needs more work, you brake when you gone higher. Something that may help is doing the first verses a bit more strong, this way you bring more energy in there which is necessary and its easier to do the passaggio correctly, the way you are doing now its so light that at least with me would leave no room to pass. This one is not sounding good yet man. Keep it up. About tunning down a half step, try going up a half step, this way you can do the whole chorus and bridge on head voice, less passings.

\m/ Awesome man More!

Still the same problems of before. Voice too low against the guitar, don't like it at all...

It sounds very nice .

:) sounds good man!

mdew haha for real man? tomatoes? Jugulator Mr Bounce thank you man, its very cool and helpfull, I try to not murder the language hehe, but some stuff I just don't notice, let me know. I don't think that the accent can go away easily, and probably I will never fool a native, but please let me know when I do the really weird stuff .

Hey Keith sorry for the delay, I was not following this section on the last days. I think its sounding nice man. These higher notes are sounding more stable and natural, really improved from what you were doing before. Pay attention on what you did on the first " I don't want the world to see me", that phrase came very, very nice. Try to bring more of that "depth/space" to the rest of the chorus. On the verses it depends on what you want to do in there. I believe there are a few minor points in there where you could "profit" a lot, like the very first "and I". But its more of choices, drop me an email if you want. Good work really. BTW man, would you by any chance have a backing track for Faith no More - Ashes to Ashes and/or Falling to Pieces?

It describes. I worked each of these slowly, on easier songs, without thinking ahead just doing exercises I had to do at time and then singing. I don't believe it can result in anything useful, but it is a correct description and I am using it to show that things are not as simple as flip here, formant this, mode that. Its not a productive way to address things... Not at all.

Mdew it would be great, but it does not work. Here is a recipe: First adjust the vowel EE on the melody of the chorus, you must make it resonant but not hooty, piercing but not annoying, keeping modal voice while relaxing jaw, tongue and the pharynx area, while lifting the soft palate enough to created a balanced vowel. Then you adjust the other vowels on the same way using this EE. On the EE the tongue blade must rise and move forward, making the articulation of all vowels center around it. Of course vowel quality should be retained. Special care must also be taken with mouth opening since the relaxation of the area above the larynx will expose it to too much pressure if large mouth openings are used or if the production is lowered. After its working, gradually remove covering adding supra glotal tensions, lowering the tongue a bit and giving room to a more shouty character, however do not let the volume increase, do not let tensions transfer to the larynx, do not let loose legato, let the larynx rise but still keep enough resonance to not let the character "squirell" out and keep the articulation free to sound natural. And of course, support appropriately. ... Maybe you guys can use this sort of things? To me it would be useless. Simplify... And get orientation to help you.

Yes, studying is very important, I mean that its too complicated to think like this. To work it will have to be more simple.

Listened to back in black, I did not like it man, sorry. Screaming it and out of the melody.

hey thanks a lot guys! Lord, I like that too! geno, got it! I will redo the take this weekend probably. The accent is something I dont worry so much, I cant fool natives and if I try to mask it, probably it will be just worse . But do let me know if I screw up the language. Tnx! Keith thanks man, yeah now it is much easier, this was a huge mess not very long ago. mdew Owen and benny hey guys thanks for the words. I did the study using head voice on the chorus. From what I listenned on the take now, its pretty much what is happening. But lol, I have no idea how you guys think about all this stuff when singing (edge, overdrive, muscle, formants, lol), I think my brain would forget to breath or to keep my heart beating hehehe. I have enough trouble to count to the beat and remember the lyrics already... Simplify! mdew no significant shift.

I will remix and see what can be done about it Nick, thanks guys. Consuming hey, nice to know that man. You going for classical or pop?

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. I agree, its comming low, Ill redo the mix later! Nico haha I agree man, I am still deciding if it needs to be redone or if I like it like this, what do you think? Is it braking it or adding?

Nice song, easy, interesting line, super fun to sing: http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=12334555&q=hi&newref=1 :)

Hi, heard a piece of Behind Blue Eyes man. Sorry but the result is not compatible with one year of work, at all, its an easy song, and its all very, very crude... Something is not working well, at this stage thinking of resonance/registration is counter-producent and its no wonder that it confuses you, I recommend finding another teacher, and then working with discipline, without daily trainning nothing happens. Think of it like learning to play the guitar, you dont play better because you go the class, but because of the practice time at home and the structure of the approach. GL!

This song is so good to study, always gave me a hell of a time. http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=12334556&q=hi&newref=1 Every listen and/or comment is deeply appreciated :)

I like it man, specially the Dio cover .

Done.;)

Well it surely isnt the calamity you sold us . But really isnt comming nice. Sounds quite insecure, lacks more definition and really trusting your voice to respond. Which of course wont solve by looking at the mirror and saying: you are the man! Drop me an email if you want, Ill see what I can do. Anyhow, all solutions will take more than 6 months and you will have to decide to commit and do it, or not. The pattern must brake. GL!

Its pleasant man, still has work to be done I agree. You are not fully using the margin for dynamics this music has. Comming a bit linear do you follow? Some softer spots and going strong on open vowels would help, where relevant of course. Listen to the original and try to notice where he does it. When going high technique is giving up a bit, at 3:00, "belive", you have mainly two choices, round the ee and make it top-down, or you spread it horizontally and define a bit more into eh. You are in a mid way, and it reflects when it goes higher later on. Covering would be my choice in this song, you figure what is best for you. As it is, the result is compromised because of the ending, it brakes the nice quality you are comming from.

Well its not sounding good as it was mentioned, kinda of speaking the whole song. Good orientation, work on it and good luck! About potential and singing well as a child, irrelevant. The potential depends only on what you do from now on. Your voice will change and orientation and planning is more important than immediate results.

I dont like it man, sorry. The registration is way too obvious and register you are comming from, no matter the name, needs a lot of work to become more relaxed and natural.
