Michael Bolton- second try
Gsoul82 replied to Pekka's topic in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING
It's getting better, Pekka. -
Yeah, I think everyone needs exploratory freedom. However you desire to sing, that should become your voice. I know this is the way everyone who's been successful has done it. Some people do succeed in sounding just like somebody else, but you can often tell those people apart, because everyone has their own tendencies. For a long time, I hated my head voice. My chest voice thickened up after a while, but my head didn't, because I didn't use it enough. It's unaffected. I can do some things to manipulate it's natural sound, but the texture isn't naturally occurring. Now I realize that part of my voice seems to be what's making people say I sound a little like Neville. Just like I keep saying you sound like somebody I heard before. There's always somebody to link you to,

Yeah, that inflection at the beginning surprised me. You've really been practicing.

I'm getting pretty used to your voice now. Still trying to remember and figure out who the guy I heard before that sounds like you is. It just goes to show, you think you're using your own voice, but there's always someone out there sounding a bit similar.

Big pat on the back to Pekka for stepping up and putting a recording out first! All recordings for the challenge, whether they're rough drafts or final versions, should go in here, so you weren't wrong to put it in here. It's good that this is a hard song for you. It will be a difficult song for others, including me, so we're all being challenged here. Don't worry about this not being to your standards. All final recordings have to be in by June 2nd PST, so you've got around 17 days to do something better.

How Am I Supposed to Live Without You Acapella

Yeah, I was sitting down. I don't think I was holding back my breathing, but I can't say for sure, because I don't remember. -

How Am I Supposed to Live Without You Acapella

"Also you should practice the song more because you are changing keys for the chorus." Was wondering if somebody else would notice. That's hot, huh? -
I agree. You're definitely getting better at "something" Are you going to post the other song too?

How Am I Supposed to Live Without You Acapella
Gsoul82 replied to Gsoul82's topic in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING
Thank you. Not much of a Barry White fan. I will see. Interesting you posted this song. Ronws said I sounded like him in another thread. -
Very nice, Denis. You've got the energy. Only thing I can really say is that I hope you're not feeling it in your throat when you get raspy. Other than that, very good. Singing while sitting down was tricky for me at first too. Just sit up straight and make sure you can fully engage your diaphragm. I do most of my stuff sitting down now.

Hey Better, Welcome to the forum. Please go ahead and add a picture to your profile. It helps the community. Thank you. I listened to the Erykah Badu song and Save Room. You've got a cool tone. I don't think diction is really a problem, although you should always be mindful of that, because I can hear what you're singing clearly here. Intonation is right. Color seems appropriate. I know you said things sound louder to you, but I'd be interested in hearing you do something louder with more power. I see you like to use your lower ranger a lot, and you like R&B, so maybe something from Anthony Hamilton, as a suggestion? I do agree you should work on range, but that goes for everybody. Who couldn't benefit from a bigger range?

How Am I Supposed to Live Without You Acapella
Gsoul82 replied to Gsoul82's topic in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING
Haha. I guess I'm just lazy. Whenever I'm in the mood to sing something, I'll just record and get it done in a few minutes. Then post it. I really do need to start using this production software though. Appreciate it. I probably wouldn't have done it if you hadn't made a topic on it. Then I really started listening to the song, and I liked it. This seemed a bit too light, in my opinion. I sang most of it in clear voice (no kind of effect), and I rarely do that, but that's part of the appeal for me. I want to get used to doing things I don't normally do. -

Shows some promise. Keep working at it. -
Hey all, Around a week ago, I talked Pekka into doing this song, because I heard something in his voice that reminded me of this guy. Pekka is a Rock guy, and this is considered an R&B song, so it was an interesting thing. Ronws came into Pekka's topic and mentioned that Bolton used to actually be a Rock singer, but his career wasn't going anywhere, and so he ended up giving Soul a try. Being that we're doing the whole monthly challenge thing every month and pushing genre boundaries, I thought it would be cool to get into songs from crossover artists, like Bolton. Especially since this month it happens to be a Rock song and Bolton is a Rock artist who crossed over to R&B, which is my area. This was spur of the moment, but I might really work on this and put it to music. It only has two verses.

I liked this. There were places where the vibrato was really nice. Like "me" at 3:10.

So, who's started? Where's everyone at? I haven't been able to sing much for the past week, because I've been sick, and my recording time is always limited. I'll likely have something at least rough sometime this week. I've already been thinking technique-wise how I'm going to approach this. I've pretty much decided I'm going to go Rock style with it.

Thanks, Rob. I think I'll try to mess around with it first and then ask you if I have any questions. I haven't even tried to use it yet, lol.

Michael Bolton- training
Gsoul82 replied to Pekka's topic in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING
I think we get bogged down in the terminology often. It does sound like he's holding air back a bit, and it may help to think of things that way while trying to mimic the effect. As long as you're not hurting yourself. -

Yeah, the guy is amazing. One of the reasons I put so much work into my falsetto. You did very well with this.
