  1. Hi Charlie.

    I actually think you are quite close to the original interpretation, which is great.

    However you are doing a few things that work against you. Two specifically, you are attacking the verses with a glissando, a scoop. For example on haaaaAH way run, and ciiiiiIIIIrcus life (you begin on a lower pitch and bring it up). Focus as much as you can on attacking the note right on its head, not bellow, not above.

    And also, timming. There are key spots that you are attacking on the upbeat, and that also works against you. A simple example: Right on the beginning, highway RUN. In there, if you take care so that the phrasing makes RUN sits right on the beat with the keys, it will sound killer. On the next phrase on the same idea, "Restless HEART" same problem happens.

    You do however make it precisely on "Circus LIFE" and "Through space and TIME".

    These two things do not require anything that you are not doing already on your voice, and I think will improve the quality a lot.

    I, personaly, notice that its just my taste, also did not like the super high note on the ending, but its a matter of choice. The rest of the higher section is killer as it is.

    I hope it helps man.

    GL!

  2. Hi Herman.

    First of all, tasty ideas, love this style man...

    About the voice... In one side its cool because its overall relaxed and not forced, but do you notice how what you are doing does not match what is going on in the song?

    You are singing on a more mellow quality, legatto, not so locked on the beat (kind of what we do to sing a ballad or other styles of rock). I would focus on defining the vowels more, think of saying them more clearly, closer to your spoken voice, and get really tight with the beat on your attacks.

    About attacks, thats where 95% of the power comes from...

    If you attack slowly, gradually increasing intensity, the phrase may sound strong, but it will not have what you need here. If you on the other hand manage to attack the sound right on the intensity you need, it will sound hard and powerful, no matter if you are not louder than in a conversation level.

    The idea is to try to use more attacks like this, tight with the drums and the bass guitar. Try to follow the groove of the song, its quite tight and I think you will be able to get a better result.

    GL!

  3. Thanks everyone for listenning!

    @Iron Thanks man :), he is a huge influence to me!

    @gnee :) Thank you, I will check the mix! Where did you listen to it btw?

    @Adolph Tis Done! :) Thanks for the words man!

    @Owen Got that, thanks for the feed and for the words man!

    @Phil, Dan and Adoney Thank you guys. ;)

    @ronws thanks man, I did notice the difference on justify, I was not sure if it was correct! :)

    Again, everyone, thanks! :)

  4. geno I think plate is a very common choice on lead vocals on the more pop/rock material since it leaves the sound "upfront". If you use a hall or room simulation you risk sounding as if you are too far away from everything. The bright is probably just the eq setting used on the original unit.

    ronws Thanks man! I will keep it in mind about the accent, trying to modify it can do more harm than good. :)
