Hi Friends,
 
Here's another cover which I performed recently on a song of James Blunt - Bonfire Heart.

I hope you guys will like.
 
Please give a little of your valuable time to check this out and let me know your feedback. Still trying to improve.
 
Thanks a lot,

This is my cover of Ailee and 2LSON's I'm In love from the Re:Code OST.
This song is really hard to sing and I tried my best >.< I hope you like it and all feedback/advice is welcome.
 
I'm In Love

Recording quality isn't as good as others I've done because the mic was too close to the guitar, but you can still hear my voice well enough. It's a very soft song. I'm quite proud of this song because I've, as far as I know, invented a new guitar tuning. EAD(or G)CFE

Lol. I was at work. That's networking equipment.

I'm going to reply to this one since you made an updated topic. It's good that you joined a choir. That's going to give you a commitment to keep singing. What's really going to help you to sing beautifully is daily practice. As I was starting out, I was told one thing that really stuck with me. Voice majors in college are always praticing. When they wake up, they're humming. When they're in the shower, they're singing scales. When they're walking down the street, more scales. They want the best voices they can have, and so they're always practicing so that they will attain that. Now, you shouldn't be doing that much at the start. Your voice will be fatigued in less than an hour of continuous practice, and once you get that fatigued feeling, it's best to stop for the day. Also, if something hurts or feels uncomfortable, stop it immediately. Get in that mindset though. Practice with a sense of purpose. You're going to sing beautifully one day if you continue to practice.
 
Now, like I said, it doesn't have to be one block or practice at one point in the day (example, practicing for a half hour from 8:30 at night to 9:00 at night). It can be done throughout the day. The point is to commit to getting the practice in.
 

And I thought the falsetto was a nice touch. Sometimes you need something light to get the panties wet

Wow, I really never knew Al Green did stuff like that. I can see more ways regarding how I could make use of something like that now rather than just using it for powerful exclamations.

Thank you. Actually, believe it or not, I actually had a pretty big speech impediment before I started singing. I had a coach that really stressed diction though. He had a really pleasant speaking voice. He had this really proper way of speaking, and it made you think he was from the south, but he wasn't.
Anyways, I naturally really started to work on pronunciation while singing and it also improved my regular conversational speech. Not sure if I'd say my speaking voice is pleasant though. Jens has heard me talk.
 
I actually just started thinking about making a progress topic. I still have random recordings that I've made over the years since I first started practicing.

I like how you used slight hints of vibrato throughout.

Maybe it's me, but I don't hear that at all from you. Maybe try experimenting with breath support and different things to change your sound (twang,, switching between resonators) and see what happens. 

One thing I love is when somebody takes a song and makes it their own. Yeah, it's originally sung as an R&B song, but does it have to be that when you do it? I don't think so. I want to hear an MDEW version, not John Legend, if you catch my drift ;)

Thank you for the compliment, by the way.

I'm not much if a Rock kind of guy, bur this is very well done. Sounds professional.

I LOVE that song.  Very nicely done. I'm not too technical with things, so somebody else might have a better answer than me. What I did to help this is take songs, sing slowly and make a conscious effort of incorporating my whole range into them.
