sorry, just re read your post, that's what you're working on, the breathiness so you are aware!!

I think you have a really nice tone and have the beginnings of something really nice. It is pitchy in places, but the more you practice playing a note and singing it back (use a keyboard app if you don't have a piano) the more you will improve. You won't improve by just singing along to the original song. Your voice is a little breathy in places, you might want to watch that at it will kill you if you're trying to belt higher

yeh, really not that bad! Your not amazing and that's because you aren't a professional singer, like any other instrument it takes practice and patience but you deffo have potential so keep practicing :D

you sound less breathy than you did in other recordings. Just sing as much as you can and put the fundamentals in place. Breathing, support, vowels etc. You just need to practice as much as you can, these things take time:D

Hi Nicj, Just to get back to you on the point about diction with some examples.... do you ever cry yoursel sleep instead of do you ever cry yourself to sleep. In the middle of the nigh when yu way instead of in the middle of the night when your away. those are a couple of examples. Your right not to over articulate the consonants, that can be even worse than under articulating them. Just watch that your actually saying them so you can hear the words. :)

Yeh, definitely a voice worth developing. Your pitch is mostly good, just watch the diction, some of the words all slurred into one at times. The tone suited the song but would be good to hear you sing something more powerful as well. Good job, and keep working at it

P.s, you don't sound like you're from poland. You sound like you're from US.

I think you guys did a good job at making a finished product, well done. In terms of vocally, i'd like to here your voice without and effects but sounds good to me :D

oh, it appeared!! was that just my mind playing tricks on me?! sounds mostly good to me. like you say, it's those higher notes. Just refer to my response to your other post about the slides. I really feel like you're heading in the right direction though, it's just time and practice.

link? .... ;)

Personally, I wouldn't call it falsetto, It sounds super twangy to me. However, it doesn't really matter what you call it. What's important is that it's not the sound you want for this song. 80's power metal perhaps but Daltrey uses a full head voice or a mix (blend of chest and head) again, terms don't matter, call it what you want! This twangy sound is a step closer to finding this full head sound though, use it as a tool for building co-ordination, not for a finished song. I didn't think it was all that bad though, still, plenty to work on :D

One thing I also picked up on is the volume. Try and bring it up a little bit if you can. The volume for singing should be around a clear calling voice, like calling 'hey you, over there' NOT shouting though. This helps with the tone as well. Or another way to put it is 6/7 out of 10 on a scale of 1-10 (1 being silent) I'm not saying there can be no dynamics but I think you'd benefit from generally bringing the volume up on your voice. Well done for sharing though :D

Great leebanana, I know it's not what you want comment for but the guitar was fantastic. Singing was good too. I think you're on the right lines and should keep practising what you are practicing. A bit wobbly in places but generally very good. There are parts where I can hear the emotion really come through, work with that cause it's really nice. What you're referring to is what all singers try to accomplish - a powerful head voice (except for the handful of people who have it naturally). My suggestion is support, twang and vowel modifications (vocal tract shaping). These 3 things are key to having a powerful head/mix voice (call it what you want, we are all after the same thing!!) scales and sirens, mesa di voce (crescendo basically) and practice and persistance. Well done, I think with a bit more practice you have the potential for a professional voice :D

thanks for the comments guys. Ron, that is aslo my fave line! Thanks Adolph, i've been meaning to do that anyhow

Just done this cover of Aretha Franklin's version of Jumpin' Jack Flash. Would love some critique. This was actually first take (oh what a rarity!) It's not perfect, would have liked those E5's a bit beefier but hey, it's never perfect! But I was pleased with it none the less. Opinions and improvements warmly welcomed .....
