Your file is gone so I can't listen. I'm not a perfect singer, but if you wanna fix the 'flatness' in your voice, research resonance, it will give a ring to your tone, you basically want sound to resonate in your sinus cavities and you'll pretty much feel your nose buzz, also try to mix that with the feeling of chest resonance(AKA feel the sound in your chest).

Thanks for listening, much appreciated =)!

Did Lego House by Ed Sheeran but I don't really know the song too well hence the shaky beginning, kind of got into it at the chorus, but I noticed my breathing is really audible and loud, I think I should work on that, been working on my voice a lot, would love some criticism.

I liked it, the guitar was good, as for the vocals, a little more resonance would be nice I think, so maybe more open throat technique?

Yeah just wanted to sing this one criticism please, harsh as possible=) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlCpF5Ek-4

Hii,

So I felt like singing and recorded "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty. Vocally, I am not too familiar with the song so made some parts up as I went......

Seems like there is something off about the way I sing, mainly, like maybe the sound is resonating in one area too much, and also maybe like there's not enough of chesty characteristic, maybe too much sinus cavity resonance and not enough resonating in the oral cavity?not really sure?Well I sang the chorus soft on purpose because I didn't really know how it went but besides that....And anything else that's wrong with my technique you can hear that would be beneficial to me!

Helpppppp?!

The original isn't available in my country but I did listen to yours. You have a really special voice, it's really nice to listen to and it's got a little bit of grit in it which I love. Excellent job=)

Hey

Criticism wanted. I kind of had to burp at the end but kept singing anyway haha so yeah...here's my acapella cover of 'Cannonball' Damien Rice, not my best but I was bored so I decided to record this and post it, why not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkZrr-60t6k

Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehSYLIGPmfI , ready for the harsh constructive criticism!

I made a cover of 'Skinny Love' by Bon Iver/Birdy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2BqPArDqTA&feature=youtu.be , I also have an acapella version which is probably a bit better because I'm not used to singing with music, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXJWkyVMuaQ&feature=youtu.be

Your voice has a beautiful tone, the only thing I noticed was that you lost confidence just before the chorus, I think it could have had more power.

Veryy beautiful voice!!! And nice video, pulled at the heart strings a little bit !

Sounds whistle-y to me

I thought you sounded flat often through the skyscraper lower register parts.. but sounded nice for the hook..

But not bad at all. Cannonball - a little too much mask.. but again, not bad.

You seem to give zero support when you are in your lower register but kick it in when you raise the key.. Try to keep the support going at all times...

Thank-you! Very helpful suggestions=)! Low notes are a bit of struggle to stay in pitch I find. I'm not sure how to pull back on the 'mask' unfortunately.

You're quite off key meaning your pitch is very off and you're not singing in key. I would get voice lessons if I were you or try to match notes on the piano.

Thanks!!! I think I am raising my soft palate when singing, so I'm not sure why there is nasality but I'll work on that=)

Unfortunately my dynamic mic won't record music with my voice so I just make acapella recordings....I've been working on my singing a lot so here's a couple short clips of my singing:

Any compliments, comments, constructive criticism welcome, thanks!!!=)

Wow you sound really good!!=)

Wow really really impressed! One thing I would suggest is when you project your voice, your tone sounds amazing, so you should try to project a bit more

Love your voice !

I agree on the voice control sucking, but that can be fixed by singing. Keep practising singing on-pitch in a comfortable range (with no straining) to get the motor skills improved in the throat section and get your relative pitch perception as good as it can be.

Work on your breath. You can use breathing for effect (as Beyonce would do it), but you need to make sure you have to ability to hold back (the high note suggests you aren't completely oblivios to that concept, but keep working on ít). Maybe singing half a verse of this song in one breath.

Play with your voice. Make dark tones, bright tones, solemn tones and wacky tones. Find out which ones you like and apply them in singing (eventually becoming your style).

The high sustained notes (F4) in the last chorus (after changing the key) sound really good to me and it sounds like you got a boost of confidence hitting those, so you got into the song a bit more and raised the overall performance. Don't be afraid to sound like shit or it'll make you sound more like it. (In performance, not practice. In various Idols, Voice, Popstars and X-factor T-shows we've heard these people who immerse themselves so deeply in the music even when they practise, that they've never heard how awful they sound.)

Although the high notes don't sound strained, you probably need to retool your approach if they are - even if it sounds good.

Thank-you, your advice means a lot to me! I wanted to sing this because I actually never practise singing high notes at all and wanted to test out sending the sound to the hard palate and seeing if I could actually hit high notes with that technique. I was happy that I hit the notes but I feel there was something wrong, like tension or something in my throat, or lack of resonance maybe?

I never heard this song before.

However it seems like a Showtune song.

But here are my thoughts.

I think a different singing style would suit you better. Your voice is naturally soft and you are trying to sing soft also.

To me it makes me feel some notes are under powered like when you sing "guys" at :29 seconds.

Maybe you could attack this song from a different angle. Maybe make it a "louder" song and do big belted supported notes with only a touch of vibrato.

Carry on my friend. Thanks for sharing

P.S. there was a moment where you reminded me of Darren Hayes from Savage Garden ever so slightly for like a brief second.

Thanks for the advice, singing with more power may help my out of control vibrato haha, yeah I got nothing on Darren Hayes =P

I really like it actually...maybe focus on sending the sound to your soft palate more, and in the high notes push down more for better support, other than that, really enjoy it!=) I'm just a beginner singer though, what do I know

So yeah, I actually am a boy but still sang this song haha....uhhh my voice control really sucks, also there's a lot of tension somewhere, I think my jaw, but it always sounds like this....please tell me how I can improve!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyIlxlY7Q38

For background on my singing: I took voice lessons a few months, learned basically nothing from my teacher...and then got a second job so have no time for lessons, pretty much every technique I have learned, I've learned on my own.
