Hummm.. Although I believe you are far from ready to be a 'superstar' and I don't suggest cutting any albums just yet , until you are -- you should record some tracks for iTUNES, and sell them to Ron.. make some beer money ;-) Anyway, You are not tone deaf, so that's good.. which means, you can only get better (and you hit it on the head), it IS simply your TECHNIQUE that is the problem here... Not your ability to sing. you are singing in the back of the throat - sound very muffled... You need to bring the sound more forward (this is also true for your lower range) - drop the tongue and keep a yawning sensation in the back of your throat, and bring in more mask (vibration in your nose, face more)... NOT nasally, but 'brighter'.. Your support is lacking on the higher notes - you need to push down on the diaphragm when you are going higher - ONLY breathing from the stomach (shoulders shouldn't raise)... Always keep a steady 'push' on it at all times, and increase it when you go higher... Also watch those consonants.. you are slamming them... iM HeRe WitHouT you BaBy..... Should be... Im, hErE wIthOut yOu bAby (you can do some vowel modifications if you like to avoid the "Eee" sound and keep it to an open " EH "... but yeah.. you get the point..

I didn't like it. Although the song is not challenging for dynamics, I agree with Owen.. Sounded like you were just whispering for most of it, and I thought you were just a step above talking the verses. Almost like you are in a room of sleeping people, and trying not to wake them -- not just the volume, but the tone... When you hold a word, you fall off pitch for the most part as well...

hi IamwhatIam, Your tone is actually quiet nice... Yes, your accent needs to be improved on certain words in the song, but that's neither here nor there.. You are using open throat technique, which is great... I can hear some breathing issues in there however, so pay attention to the draw of air and slow release for EVERY phrase.. You are slamming the consonants, which closes down your sound and makes you start from ground zero again for the next word / phrase. Great work though, keep it up.

Hi Elizax. For both song samples, your bottom register (chest voice) is good -- I can hear your stylistic approach, however I still hear you holding back the sound within your throat (back of mouth).. You need to bring that sound forward by using more mask and flattening your tongue... The higher sections and vocal breaks, you have to be careful with.. You break into falsetto when full head voice should be used. So, doing so, you are bending the note slightly - which knocks you off key, and allowing too much air to pass the vocal folds. Stylistically, this works in " She will be loved " more, but you should pull back the air.... and in "Stay" you should eliminate the falsetto and only use full head voice. I would recommend you concentrate your scales on the vocal breaks, as they are not clean (You produce a yodel when going from one register to another).. Vocal breaks and high parts.

No.

Open your sound more when singing -- project it forward more (less airy)... Rapping is good.... When you say " Back in the day I use to be on MYYYYY own... .".. the MYYYYY gets disconnected... keep a flow or add a vibrato to it... But those are just tidbits, you did a good job on it's own.

No.. terrible... sounds like you are trying to hard to sound like him, which just makes you sound like you are screaming all the time while going through puberty.. ;-). pitchy, off key, no timbre, glottal isn't effective...

Stylistically I can see where you are going with it. In your deeper parts, you remind me of Michael Buble a bit, however - unfortunately, those parts are few, and you sing through your nose way too much -- , over all I feel you are being way to nasally, and airy..

You sound like a low / mid baritone to me..

You don't sound like a women ron.. you sound like a guy who left his **** in his wifes purse.. there's a difference.. hahaha.. Joking.. seriously though.. I don't think your voice is " lady like "..

Gilad : just listened to it again... actually.. you did a great job on it man... well done.. the more I listen to it, the more I like it as I can hear the subtle nuances in your voice (unique characteristics) ... ... nice.. Humm. interesting why I didn't hear it the first time...

Short and curly answer -- either crap or get off the pot... 6 months, then you quit, will not work man... You need to practice atleast an hour a day, doing various exerices for 6 days a week , every week... It's a ongoing thing.. Maybe, because you are doing the hums, and whatnot, at speech level, it is not helping (surprise surprise).. you need something that has more dynamics then a SS / SLS approach then.. Look up the 4 pillars here with the dude Robert Lunte, or Ken Tamplin Sing better then anyone else can.... Or even a coach around you... Either or.. you need to commit or the results will be the same... You don't have a bad underlining tone man... but your support is bad, your breathing is bad, your control is bad.

I hear ya Jens.

Jens, stop being an idiot. It's a place for critique. It doesn't matter what anyone else sounded like when they were 14... The forum topic isn't " Powder my arse and boost my ego "... It's Review and Critique... They (including me) reviewed and Critiqued. You give good advice at times, but usually find a way to make yourself annoying and non-topical. Grow up and stay focused! OP, your voice will continue to grow and find it's placement, when you age a bit more... Don't get discouraged, as Jens mentioned, you are just 14 and A LOT of 14 year olds have doubts and issues through this period with singing.. Find a good teacher (even online such as Robert or Ken, or someone like that), so you learn the proper techniques and control..... This will give you what you need - Now, and especially in the future!...

Not good John. Pitchy, no emotion, flat, nasally, more talking then singing style, no sustain, no support. You need training ... then try again...
