    You betcha Felipe! Thanks again man!

    Hi Aravind, I thought it sounded good throughout the song. But I have to agree with Denis regarding the Bridge, where I feel you changed the mood you set in the rest of the song, by going, perhaps, to strong, almost hard Rock/Heavy Metal style. Overall, I liked it. Also, I think you did an awesome job dialing down the "cartoonish voice", almost eliminating it completely. Keep them coming friend!

    Hi MDEW, I agree with you man. The thing is, I am a little lazy to record the backing track on a different key...lol. So, I just practice in the original key of the backing track. Cheers

    Hi Felipe, thank you so much for stopping by and giving a listen. I agree with you regarding the beat. Even though I made a great progress becoming able to sing the melody of the song, I still suffer with the rhythm, and usually fall behind. I think I just need to practice more singing with the original, instead of a backing track. You are right, I noticed that because where the song sits, I have two ways of singing it, and usually go stronger than lighter, but in this version I think I got stuck in the middle of the way, and it sounds weird. Another thing that just shocked me is that I recorded and did all the mixing using headphones, and I just listened the recording for the 1st time on my computer speakers, and I thought I sounded really weird...lol As I really like this song I will try to gather all the tips you guys gave me and improve this cover. BTW, have you had a chance of checking my other cover (When Love and Hate Collide - Def Leppard)? Thank you again.

    OMG Rowns, I agree with you 100%! I can't believe how different it sounds from my headphones to the speakers! I just listened it on my speakers, and I am shocked! As I really love singing this song, I will definitely try it again. Thank you so much for checking it out. Cheers

    Hi Gsoul, thanks for stopping by man! Even though this is not my first post in the review section, I think it has been a while since I last posted something. I believe it was my attempt to "I can't make you love me (by Bonnie Raitt). I even tried both versions: in the original key and one octave lower, just for kicks... I am planning on trying it again for the challenge. BTW, have you checked my other last cover? Hunting High and Low (A-Ha) Cheers

    Thanks a lot for stopping by Ronws. I will definitely try to sing it 1 step higher and see how it goes. I can totally relate to what you said about not sounding like the original singer. Funny enough, I don't struggle with that anymore. Even though my voice changes a little bit depending on the song/singer, but I always sound like myself, which I'm really OK with it. Cheers

    Thank you so much for stopping by and giving a listen Jeremy. I might try practicing this song one half step higher as you guys have suggested. So it should feel easier when I sing it in the right key afterwards. Did you really like the effect?! I got that when I was playing with copies of the main vocal panned L and R. But I tried something Felipe suggested in another thread about making a copy and dragging it down to create a delay effect. I didn't like the way it sounded because it was too slapjack delay. So, instead of creating a wider offset between the original and the copies, I just decreased it to create a thicker sound. I think I did that in several parts of the song, but it really stood out in the chorus, maybe because of the high notes and the backing vocals on the backtrack. In this song I used only EQ, Compressor, Delay and Reverb, as fx. Cheers

    Thanks again MDEW. I felt this one was way harder to sing than the A-Ha's song, maybe because it has higher notes or the intention of power ballad. I really got to start practicing again, because I was struggling to keep the folds adducted (?) during the choruses, which I think made my pitch suffer a bit. I always ask for opinions and tips to improve. Cheers

    Thank you so much for stopping by and giving a listen MDEW. I think it sounds odd at some parts, maybe because I didn't warm up before, and was not able to keep in one voice. So, to minimize the problem, I had to change volume throughout the song. Thanks again

    Hi guys, as I got some free time yesterday I decided to record this power ballad by Def Leppard. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you think and also tips to improve it. Keep on Rocking.
  12. Gneetapp
    Hi guys, yesterday I had some free time, so I just recorded this one for practice. Please let me know what you all think and also give me some pointers to improve it. Cheers

    Very nice cowboy version MDEW! You and Ed-Win really made this song yours! While I was listening to your version I was wondering how this song would sound as an Ukulele version... Cheers
  14. Gneetapp
    Great job Ed-Win! Really cool version man!

    Hi Simon, you seem to really enjoy performing man, that is a good thing because it can be used to fuel you while you are training/practicing to be the best you can be. I really just don't get why posting a song in the review section and ask what people think is good or bad if you don't care. Unless you were expecting only praises and got some constructive criticism instead, and couldn't handle it. If this is the case, perhaps you should try to change this mindset and preconceptions about how your vocals sound, because it will hinder your progress as a vocalist. Good performance Friday! Cheers

    Hi poisonivy, welcome to the forum. You have a lovely voice, and you sound good. However, may I humbly suggest you to record something with an instrumental track or a karaoke/backing track? This way it would be easier to evaluate other aspects of your voice. Cheers
  17. Gneetapp
    Hi Simon, I am sorry man, but I had such a hard time trying to listen to you. The overall volume is really low. Could you please try to improve it? Thanks
  18. Gneetapp
    Great job Mivke! Really soulful singing! I felt it was just a bit behind the beat on the chorus, like relaxed. But it could be just me. Congrats bro!
  19. Gneetapp
    Wow! Great job Jeremy! I really liked your tone and the rasp throughout the song. Even though it seemed you strained a bit in a couple of spots, I think it didn't impact the song negatively. Cheers!
  20. Gneetapp
    Nice going MDEW! I think You did such a great job on this song! I don't think it was the new microphone my friend, but your improved technique that made a difference. I also liked the lead guitar doing the melodies. Keep'em coming
  21. Gneetapp
    WTF?!?!
  22. Gneetapp
    I'm in! It would give me a chance to work a bit more on this song, and improve on my first attempt.
  23. Gneetapp
    Hi MDew, I thought you've come a long way developing your sound man. I liked your tone throughout the song, except at the bridge, where it sounds like you lost focus. I think you are on the right track with your voice, and with more practice you'll make this song sound really good. I kind of agree with some folks here who say that you might benefit of using support in a better way, so you would be able to stabilize the voice. Even though I don't think that you will sound beefy with more engaged support, as I believe it is just a matter of vocal placement, but I think JonJon made an interesting suggestion of trying to sing/emulate Dickinson or Dio to get a different sound. I think it would be safe and beneficial to you to experiment, as you already know you should not yell to achieve these types of sound. Cheers
  24. Gneetapp
    Yeah! Your timbre is really good for this song JonJon! I liked it. I can totally relate to you regarding the high pitch passages man. But it takes good technique and good practice to even things out. Good sound.

    And don't forget that during La Niña years the conditions are reversed... lol
