Thanks for watching MDEW.

Hello Everyone,

This is the first song that I wrote both the lyrics and music for and worked with a local producer that helped me put the instrumental track together. Just wanted to get some feedback from you.

Thanks

~Sophia Grayce~

JonJon, thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I guess I just get into the song and don't think about the points you make, which are really good ones. I'll keep them in mind in the future. ~Sophia Grayce~

I thought that was awesome. It sounds pleasing, is very expressive and in the moment. Stage presence is good, you're in motion, engaged, but it looks natural and too theatrical or stagey.  

The only thing I'd wonder, is it's a great timbre, but if I tried to imitate I picture myself tiring out with too many songs like that in live singing.

When I sing breathy I often aim to find a brighter resonance a little twang, and use just the minimal hiss to get the breathy sound. If I get too breathy without resonance I get a bit huffy and fatigued and it's easy to want to to either blow air or pinch notes. It's probably just that I can't do what you can do, though. 

This is good. You should keep doing it, I missed hearing you, and glad to see you back. I see a lot of potential both artistically as a performer, commercial viability as well. 

Thanks for your words of encouragement KillerKu. I'm graduating high school this week and will be writing and recording over the summer with a record producer. I'll probably be posting some my original songs that I'm working on to get everyone's feedback.

Very well done, Sophia ! I enjoyed it very much.   

Thank You Adolph,
 It's nice to hear from you again, I hope all is well.

Hi Everyone,

This is my cover of the Eagles' song - Desperado. Please critique my singing and performance.

Thanks Amir,

No it's not my song  I wish it was. It's a song by Sam Smith.

Hi Robert,

I apologize for the delayed response. I am about to sign a recording contract with a small record label and we have been busy working out all the details

Thank you so much for you critique, it really means a lot. My Dad bought me your The Four Pillars of Singing back in 2012 and I've incorporated techniques from it over the last 3 years. I would always be interested in any suggestions you have regarding my singing. I do vocalises to develop my upper range, this song had a couple of notes that still gave me problems. What do you suggest doing to help with upper range?

Thanks Again,

~Sophia Grayce~

I really like this song and decided to cover it. The high notes are a little tough for me.

I hope you enjoy it, I would love any comments or critiques!

Thank you both for the feedback, I'll keep what Clint said in mind about softening the Amens. The song has some pretty low notes and I received some feedback that I didn't hit them very well. I would like to hear from some of you about what you think.

Hi Guys, I recorded this yesterday and would like some feedback on the performance and vocals;)

Feedback on vocal performance

Sophia

I'm looking for feedback on my stage and vocal performance.

Hi Birdy,

I would like to look at your songs. I have a recording booth and Pro Tools 11 at home. My dad and I recorded all of the songs and videos on my web site and YouTube. My web site is www.SophiaGrayce.com and my YouTube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/SophiaGraceCom. My email is Sophia@SophiaGrayce.com.

Critique my singing and Merry Christmas

Hi Guys,

Let me know what you think.

~Sophia Grayce~

David...........

Thanks for the critique. I wasn't planning to post this video but decided to get some feedback on my vocals, do you think the vocals were boring? Hang around because I'll need you to critique my "entertainment presentation" in my next video, I've GOT to ace the X-Factor audition.

~Sophia Grayce~

Guys...... I have a confession to make. When my dad and I recorded this practice session we were not planning to post it on YouTube. I just got braces off the day we recorded this.... I was looking at my teeth

But... point taken, I will stay in character for the next practice video. I really appreciate the feedback. Any ideas about presentation or singing it differently would really be appreciated, I really want to make it onto X-Factor.

~Sophia Grayce~

Thanks..... I never thought I would be compared to Taylor Swift.

Thanks Jonathan, I need to work on it more, it's kinda hard to get use to. Thanks for the comment.
