Alright... i'm very interested in doing some lessons over skype. Right now I am a bit busy too with exams, assignments and such, but i'll add you for now. I'm already searching for a teacher in Copenhagen, but i'm sure it must be expensive to get a really good one... but i am definitely dedicated enough to support it financially (and my parents are thrilled, so they will probably help me out too). Thanks again for now... geez i love this online community-thing, it's really a great opportunity for so many beginners like me - especially when people like you are willing to use time and energy on helping others! :)

What is your own experience with singing btw? Are you a teacher/musician/singer or just a knowledgeable enthusiast?

HI Elrathion! Thank you so much for taking interest in me like that... that's reaaally cool! And I completely agree with you on the advice. I feel like I can produce powerful notes, both with my lower and higher register, but I often feel as though I struggle going from low to high and vice versa. It doesn't flow as freely as I would like, although I have to mention that when I do my recordings I often feel as though I am being monitored by everyone in the building (I do my recordings at home in an old, not at all soundproof apartment) and that kind of freaks me out sometimes :§ I would love to get some more advice! Btw what part of the body/voice is the larynx? (i'm a foreigner so i don't really know a lot of technical terms). Thank you! Again.... Btw, did another recording with a lot of high notes and a bit of growling in the end... is it the issue/difficulty i have here? ----> http://soundcloud.com/ladanoise/had-so-much-fun-doing-this

Thanks for the advice... i never know how far i am supposed to stand from the mic, but i did notice that when I record a song I can watch the visuals (or whatever you call it) which gives me an idea of how much of the sound is being 'picked up'... in the Christina Aguilera song it seems like the sound in a lot of parts has exceeded the borders of how much volume it can pick up. Don't know all these technical terms, but I guess that is when the mic overloads and the sound is distorted. As to the singing part... what are your experiences (if you have any) with vocal lessons? How much improvement is realistic and what will you normally try to work on to start out with? I also don't know the definition of 'chest', 'head' and mixed voice, and what do you mean by the 'larynx' being neutral or too high?- i read about them in another thread and i couldn't quite follow, but would like to also learn from the advice you gave him :)

Cool Currently I don't have any vocal tracks that aren't distorted... the mic is just no good when I get to the high notes/more powerful notes. But I shall work on getting a separate mic, and plug that into my computer...i guess that'll work better. Thanks for helping out :D

Very nice keep it up.

Beautiful :)

http://soundcloud.com/ladanoise This is the link to my soundcloud profile... There are five recordings of me doing karaoke cover versions of different songs. The quality isn't super super good, but it is ok enough to listen to. I've never had anyone coaching me before, although I have sung in a Danish choir (classical) for three years or so...maybe that shows. Please feel free to comment, and if you have suggestions for better recording equipment (i'm using the mic on my laptop+garageband) then you shall be my guest! :D
