Very cool man.

Tnx Lord!

Though Im really not sure I know what you meant with throaty lol.

I am Rob!

Been studying it and I have it almost consolidated. Can I have a few more days?

Hey man, listenned to both, your voice sounds ok, but the MJ impersonation is comming too much, in my opinion, its fun to listen but really because you got that very well, the question therefore is: What you want to do? Impersonate or sing?

Since no backing track is there, really you can do whatever with the keys and call it your interpretation. Still, because of what you did on the chorus on both songs, you took away the energy and broke the idea of the song, so I dont think its good as it is, Billie Jean was comming cool until the pre-chorus, and then it dies without energy.

Impersonation comming ok. Singing, nope.

Its not that there is nothing special on your voice, you are simply not doing anything that brings interest. Can be worked with study, and to be clear, MJ is the ultimate source for this kind of thing. You are copying his accents, tone and even the way to breath, but missing the really good part, his musicianship.

:o

I sincerely hope you are jocking.

In the case that not. Take this off line, and study.

;) Fun song.

Hi Robert, not really an "issue" with it, putting in another words, what she did in the second verse, at that point I mention, is not only good, its plain awesome.

Hey Nick tnx man

Hard to say, I think its a combination of everything. Its been 4 years since I did that one. My english is comming more naturally surely, just by writing here ( I write as if I was speaking it in my head lol) I feel it improved a lot. Jon pointed me a few times that I still slip, and I try to pay more attention to it, so slowly I am learning.

And well, I perceive that there is more effort in there too, so no worries :)

Tnx guys, really appreciate

el jay, portuguese it is! ;)

Man I watched, its not sounding good... You will need to do some work in there...

The main issue is that you are bringing it low placed and airy, its very harsh on your voice to use it like that, and because of the strain your voice simply can not follow the phrasing and pitch problems come along.

So the answer is seek instruction and study! Good Luck!

Sounding quite cool Witti. What a nice voice!

My advice is to bring the interpretation work of the first verses to be more consistant like what is happening on the second verses, beginning at 1:10.

Compare those verses with the beginning of the song, the later approach where she comes more soft is much more interesting to hear, and sets a nice contrast with the chorus, not to mention that the phrasing ideas in there are much more compelling too. The beginning is comming a bit linear, dont you think so?

To me sounds quite good, if you guys can figure something on the beginning to catch the attention right away, it will be awesome.

Tell her to send more! :)

el jay just to clear this, I dont mean in the sense of "low pitch" or "low dynamics", more regarding your comfort than anything else.

To me the energy is comming quite cool, just asking if its comfortable, in the sense of physical comfort,

Again sounds quite cool. Other recordings you have there are quite nice too.

el jay hi man.

Had to open your page from soundcloud.com/eljaywin, the link you sent does not work.

Your voice is awesome man, wonderfull timbre.

I like the recording. I feel it comming a little bit low placed, are you comfortable to sing it like this?

Keep the recordings comming .

Was watching Finding Nemo yesterday, just could not resist

Hope you guys like it, it was very fun to sing.

Not quite Eye of the Tiger devaitis, but I will get there .

Jugulator thank you man! Glad you like it

ronws tnx for your words man. About full moon, I dont remember reading that, but its non sense, not to sing metallica or anything, voices are unique, you have to learn how to use yours to fit the song. If I had saw the comment, I would point it as BS as I try to do always. Trying to sound like others is naive

Whats this thing on classifications man? Not even my teacher would classify my voice at the time this was recorded, raw stuff... Dont trip with this stuff, it makes no sense at all!

devaitis hey man thanks! Haha I will try, it will be a great study, awesome song.

Tnx for your words guys

Mivke haha I agree. TollsssssAH hehe. Ill see what can be done on another song, I dont have this project anymore and the final mix isnt mine.

mdew haha, nah, who cares about technique?

Thanks man .

Old stuff that I found around here, love this song. Instruments made by an awesome musician that I worked on a few collabs. I think its from 2009.

Here it goes:

As always, my sincere gratitude to anyone who cares to listen, if possible drop a line .

Clearly not an impossible task, if you can find one, you can find the rest .

Thank you for the post! Yes, I think I know where I'm off pitch and off beat. I don't actually remember very good the melody of the song and I don't know what I should do to memorize it better.

Oh, take a piano or guitar, play the song, and map the notes of the melody.

Thats the easy part to fix.

Hello! Well, overall it does not sound bad. Many things actually you captured very nicely, on a few spots, at least to me it feels you know what you have to do, but your voice is not responding accordingly, so yeah its a technical issue.

Still, on the second half of the song, you didnt have the same confidence of the first part. I dont think its a technical issue, do you have it clearly on your mind like you have the first part?

It does get the attention from the start, liked it up to the first chorus.

More importantly, you display a lot of musicianship, and your voice is really interesting to listen to, very distinct tone. Dunno how and where you are looking for a teacher, hit me via email if you need help. Should really nurture it, lots of potential.

The best you could do on the moment to deliver the song better, is to define it better in your head beforehand, I think it will improve a lot. Including definning the marking of the phrasing on the beat. The first chorus was gonna be awesome but on "say" you missed the beat, and it kinda lost that "tight and suffered" feel. Do you understand?

GL! :)

lol what the hell!

Funny

Are you working on the song Lord? Or just a crazy experiment?

I like the riff on the beginning . To me its awesome.

The vocals are killing the music indeed. Need energy in there man.

A coach on the recording session would probably make you scream it and then you would take a week to recover from the abuse .

The only fix that exists is trainning. And agressiveness is something that you will only worry about much later. So two choices. One is teacher and trainning. Another is hiring a producer and a vocal coach to make the recording work. You may learn something from the later but will not make you sing superb out of the recording.

knack took a listen man. Right now does not sound good.

The main problem is that your intensity and timmings are off. So your voice is being produced low, airy and without energy. From this a lot of problems follow but this is the main issue. You seem to have a notion of relative pitch but your voice simply isnt following what you want.

You have a lot of work ahead, so well, good instruction and hard work is the way to go. GL and keep sending material as you train :)

leonor, I dont understand, is that you or the sample you used to follow the idea?

I think its walking to the right direction, but listen how unnatural it sounds right now. As if it wants to brake.

Support it more, and lower the focal point behind your front teeth, spreading it a bit. Aim for comfort and natural sounding, must be pleasant to listen to.

I really advice a teacher to work this man, the ajustments are very small and you may be actually very close to defining it correctly.

Keep what you have going of course but dont consolidate ideas using scales or any of the sorts.

Sounds cool echo, Lonesome to me sounded best also.

I dont think that is so much about style affinity. To me in that song you are more secure of it, as in simply, you just know it very well.

A pleasant voice that, in my opinion, you should nurture by seeking a teacher and trainning technique to bring more of your voice out and consolidate it.

GL!
