Hey man, I think it sounds quite good!!!

Nice punch, and you sound just right with the song.

Thanks Felipe! I enjoyed singing this one, it was a challenge but I think I got a good tone overall.

Thanks guys. There were a few intentional tempo changes. Also I was surprised this song is a little low, but since I have a lower voice I figured that'd be great! There are points where my voice sounds uncolored and could be better, but generally I think it worked out.

Are you guys sure my singing is flat? I try to have good pitch, so this is news to me. Maybe it's just the low timbre of my voice in comparison to Passenger's high timbre giving you the impression of me singing 'flat'.

And Ron, I know you'd like to my cloning process, but that's top secret. I can't have clones running around willy-nilly. Maybe one day I'll give you a clone for your birthday though.

Ben sings with a deep voice, I assume a lowered larynx, and this chorus is a challenge. Let me know how to improve.

Here's something I need work on. It's Chevelle - Jars. A heavy rock song. Let me know how to improve.

Awesome. And I am truly excited to see that you are finally going to release an album. This should be a single release, if you are doing that, as well.

Let me know when the album is available and how to get it.

Thanks Ron! It's a self-produced acoustic album, and I just released it! I'm really happy with it, and my next goal is to make a rock album.

Let me know what you think!

Sounds pretty good man! I think for a song like this where the vocals don't go high or low and don't change tone colour much, where it's really about the story, you need to make it a more expressive. I think if you worked a little more on support and working on parts of tone colour like breathiness and resonance then you could make it more compelling to the listener. To try and take singing out of the speaking voice and into another world is the aim here I think.

Great work!

Thanks Mr Bounce! You're right, and I did do it more breathy like the original song, but my support was too weak so it sounded off. That's something I have to work on.

Thanks guys, I fixed up a few minor things and put it up:

I'm glad you liked it!

Awesome stuff! I'm jealous of that falsetto!

Nice job. your voice fits the song. You sound pretty commercial, which I guess is good lol. I have never heard the original, but this is good stuff right here.

Thank you very much Keith! I wrote this song, I'm glad it sounds 'commercial' despite being a 'weird' song in terms of chords and song structure.

Final Video:

This song has a ridiculously difficult chorus, I really would appreciate advice on how to improve!

Edit: embed, thanks Ron

Awesome. And even if I am the only one who comments, at least you have that. I like what you do with your voice. You create and issue a melody that fits the music. Granted, I can hear the technical improvements you have made over the past year and a half. You know how I hear that? Because I don't hear "technique." My mind wandered, as if I were hearing this on the radio. That is a compliment. I forgot all about technique and enjoyed the performance. This is what the end product of singing is, or should be.

Thank you Ron! I always appreciate your comments, and thank you for sticking with me all this time!

Thanks Keith, ronws, and Adolph! I'm glad to share some original music. I am on the Social Media Site of TMV World under my name 'Trenton Eliopoulos'
