Tnx guys I appreciate it. Produced the whole backing track myself this time. My guitar playing on the rhythm seems to work haha. Lets see if I can do something with more than 3 chords next lol. Oh ronws, this version isnt mine btw. Its HIM version, I only wish it was haha

Very very good man Lots of quality and very fun to watch. great job!

Oh much better mix man, and you are sounding very good. Another very tricky song. Great job .

The mix. Your voice is good. Ill check the other song!

Hey Jon! Sounding very good man. Not an easy song to do, lots of energy. And in a region that does not forgive mistakes. But this mix... I think it could be better man, its too squeezed! If the studio do not improve it on the final, see if you can grab the multitrack and send it my way. If its just a stereo pair, or the monitor mix forget it, quite nice. Again congrats, sounding very good, the whole band.

Hi guys, did this version with my friend and great guitarrist Anderson. A more worked production done from the ground in Reaper. Hope you guys like it! We had a great time doing it! For those who were on that conf call, the random dog attacks again!

Yeah, the tunning is what Im talking about. Its important, this is the kind of think that you should mark as not acceptable, can be fixed easily. GL!

This is pretty much the goal of the basic trainning of registering, its not an easy task, and this song needs it to be working perfectly to be delivered. So dont worry about not sounding good, its normal and its thousands of times better than forcing your voice into an ok way to do it Keep the same intention, and give room. You wont feel it forward if you dont do it like this, as it will strain or spread wide. You need suport pressure, the beginning of the yawn, a solid chest voice properly placed forward and the same intention as you shift the strategy. I would begin looking closely on how to nail the placement on chest voice. GL man, do get orientation of a coach if you can. Will make your life much easier.

Breaking. Consider what you are saying. You are comming natural and comfortable. But then it breaks. So you think of relaxing a tension. You are not wrong. But it can very well be that this tension is showing up because you are trying to relax it or release your voice. This region requires more pressure, the total effort only increases from here. Do not change your voice, try mapping the exact place where it happens, down to the semitone, and then try sliding slowly a half step jump from and into it. When doing it, use just the very beginning of a yawn to spread you voice in the back, but do not let it flip or change, and dot try sending it back, just give room, keep it the same as far as the emission is concerned. Its much harder to do it, then to write or read it of course, also on the low note, use this forward approach you are using right now.

Man, not sounding good. A few things that I noticed. The placement on the low notes is too high, its sounding nasal, bring it more within your mouth. And on the beginning of the passagio you are comming easily, very nice and natural, but then you brake into the mickey thing. What for?

Man, its kinda crude as it is, but its not bad. A few breaks that are getting in the way of quality, but you are keeping a very nice energy through it, a few ajustments and support trainnig will get you very far. I recommend finding a coach. I like your tone. Btw, get the guitar a setup, its sounding weird. :)

Thanks a lot guys :)

Love this song! Anybody who can give it a listen/comment is most welcome! http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=11886532&q=hi Cheers!

Amazing Chris. Really amazing More!

Tnx Dr. and Max! It got me motivated into buying that karaoke track. I will do a more carefull production in this one, as with the Aerosmith song, I got a good feeling about this .

I didnt like it... too many register breaks, lack of dynamics and a very pronounced focus upward, sounds as if you are singing against the soft palate instead of just giving room. Not working, does not fit the song and is technically incorrect.

Ok Sofia... I sincerelly dont like the recordings, there are some problems there that are not allowing your voice to come through, technical issues, that are somewhat easy to fix, but you will need orientation to get through it. The most relevant ones are nasality and a very pronounced inclination to scoop for notes. Interval perception seems to be working fine, but you are comming out of pitch on lots of phrases. Since they are basicly one and the same thing, what you need is to listen to the songs more and get the melody together before recording. As it is now I recommend that you dont use those recordings as promotional material, do not disclose it yet, first find a teacher that you trust, to get a more solid ground to perform. I do hear potential on the tonal quality, its very very veiled as it is now, you need to bring this beautifull voice out first. Its fine to show here on the forum, since its the idea of the community, but do not rush into openning to the public ok? Please dont try fixing it on your own, its close to working nicely, its relaxed which is a huge thing in itself, a few ajustments and it will sound wonderfull. Doing wrong exercises could result in problems that will be a pain to get rid later on. Good Luck, and please dont be discouraged if this seems too bad, its the normal situation with everyone, and its quite easy to solve these issues provided that you seek orientation and follow a trainning program, the same as with any other instrument.

lol Tnx for the words guys! Ronws, Ill listen to your version today and let you know man, been kinda short in time lately. Keith, tnx man. Its no big deal really, you will see that after you settle the middle of your voice, you will probably be able to go even higher, if its something desirable or not, its another question entirely. Mdew and Tommy, tnx for the detailed listenning guys... Now, Mdew, I do tried to feel it man, actually I listenned to the original recording something like 40 times paying attention and trying to understand it before singing, exactly because its such a deep song... But, do keep in mind that its Deep Purple and Ian Gillian on the original, the guy standing on the stage and looking at the audience shows more musicianship than Ill ever have. I can honestly say, that technique was not a concern to record this, at all, but its quite possible that its musically superior to what I can do, maybe I just dont understand it completely and missed something crucial there. Still, I am satisfied with the results, and you saying that its sounding great is already great for me, I was hopping that it would connect, as Tommy said it did for him, makes me really happy that it does. I do appreciate that you let me know man, and I will try to figure out what could be done better. Truth is, right now, I have no clue \o/, so I will have to learn something first, maybe listenning to more Deep Purple stuff, how bad can that be? Tommy, tnx man, really glad it got to you . Not a trivial song to perform, not at all... Tnx again everyone, rock n roll guys!

Heard it yesterday at night man. Although I do see some important pieces of technique starting to kick in, I have to say I dont like it. The problems are disrupting the line too much. For this song, not working yet. I like the recording quality, sounding quite nice and cristal clear.

Didnt like it man. Sorry. Cant understand anything you are singing. Technically the voice is too low and constricted, it can be much more open and full. Lower its sounding better and more comfortable. Since its your material, I advice working more into that part where your voice is more effective right now, and do try to work to get the words more defined, even the vowels are sounding almost all the same... Hope it helps, GL!

Very, very nice Keith! I hear more of you in this than on all other recordings you sent. You sound much more free and confident. This is not an easy song, and its comming quite nice. Maybe that higher section was difficult due to the need to concentrate, but to my ears, sound free and very nice, does not sound as a struggle at all! I do hear some very different strategies that you employing, and that are very wise . And up there, its sounding VERY good, keep it up!

Ok, here is my attempt, just the first progression, I dont see how anyone could listen through this crappy execution of the solo, so I didnt even bother. I will give it a shot with the karaoke version Rob found. https://www.box.com/s/df673d1ec4a60b5875ef I think its sounding nice to my ears, what you guys think? Edit: listenning again, all the compression and lack of dynamics of this BT almost kill the song , its the best I could do with it, sry.

Oh I think I got it! Tnx mdew, analog! Ahahaha analog, I promise no zen mech engineering was used here .

Tnx tnx tnx a lot for your words guys! Hey, about my accent, glad you guys think it does not get in the way, and I know I will never eliminate it, but could you help me with "beautifull"? I hear something strange with it too, I just dont understand what the problem is lol! What is the catch? Tnx again!

Tnx Rob! Its really good that one.
