  1. Thank you Phil and Felipe for your responses! Thanks for the encouragement Felipe, I know my question was a bit silly but what you said regarding dynamics and execution really help me understand what I should be working on and thinking of while practicing. Phil, your explanation of tension puts my problem in perspective, I really do feel choked off at points. I will try your method to learn better breath support.
  2. Hey, great set of covers! Keeping true to the Eddie Vedder discussion, your rendition and the way you use your voice does sound imitative of the original, but everybody channels their influences differently and sometimes in more ways than others. It's not that it is a slight on your performance, but there's already an Eddie Vedder, and you sound so much better as yourself singing a U2 song the vocal patches near the end sounded great (if you recorded them, not sure if it was a pre-made backing track or not), and I heard little-to-no Bono in there myself. Keep doing what you're doing, it's working. Work with your influences, but remember that the world wants to hear your voice, I think it has a very nice quality to it that.
  3. Hey folks, I've struggled with long, sustained notes typically found during the chorus of popular songs and was wondering what I can work on to be able to sustain a note with a nice open tone? Examples of what I'm talking about range from songs by modern rock groups like or Whitney Houson's rendition of I Will Always Love You . The choruses have sustained notes, usually higher than the other melodies. The best example I have of myself attempting something close to this is about 2:59-3:12 in this clip , where I find that the voice is much to wobbly, thin, and I also have a tendancy to involuntarily add grit to my voice singing things like that, not stylistically. What can I work on to produce a clear, sustained vocal tone typical of a "big" chorus? Thank you!
  4. Awesome man! Deep Purple is one of my all-time favorite groups, and you have the perfect voice for their brand of LSD-soaked rock n' roll Your high notes sound amazing, and your phrasing + breath support is consistent the whole way through. Keep it up! Also, did you play the guitar for your backing track? Or even the whole track? If so, very well done :)
  5. Thank you very much sir! I've been told I've got the voice for this sleazy rock stuff for a while now, I certainly have a passion for it! I'll have to post me singing something not so "rawr" later
  6. Hi MDEW! First off, your last post I believe is very true - even if you don't find changes in your vocals, your ear is ALWAYS improving, and to me that's the biggest part of being a musician. Your timbre, pitch, rhythm are all very good, but the only thing I'd say is try using more air, project more. It's very hard to tell on a digital recording, but oftentimes you'll find that the more you project the clearer your notes and the sharper they become If someone else can backup what I said that'd be helpful, I'm not the most knowledgable person here about vocal mechanics or techniques
  7. Wow, I watched a few of your older videos and some of your newer ones and not only are you a great singer, you've grown alot over the past few years! Your cover of Queen's The Show Must Go On is just immaculate and as you get into the grittier Pantera, Judas Priest songs you found the ability to take your beautiful singing voice and gravel it up for that effect. Great job, looking forward to more videos!
  8. Hey guys, I've been lurking this forum for a while and figured I'd ask what you think of my vocals. Now that I've made an account I'll try to be an active part of the discussion around these parts, so hi
