filling emptiness

hey, I really love this song so I wanted to see if I could sing it a little bit. She sings it kind of breathily(?) so I tried to do the same. Obviously I'm not NEARLY as good as she is, but please tell me what you think of it and what I could do to sound better. my version: https://soundcloud.com/filling-emptiness/ok-best-mist/s-zkXPz original:

It's so beautiful! I really really enjoyed it. You're voice really reminds me of Norah Jones :)

I literally have nothing else to say, 'cause your tone was good and so was your pitch and stuff. (But I don't know that much about singing) So I just think you should keep on singing and singing haha

God your tone is so beautiful omg. I really have nothing else to say haha :lol:

The reason for that is because when I do them in my full voice, I get really loud and maybe even screamy. But I think that's just because of my limited range. But I'll pay more attention to it. I'll pick a better song next time then haha. I don't know why but for some reason I really like to sing that low, it feels really good. Thanks again for your feedback always helpful

Thanks! You're the only person who thinks that way though , because other people told me my voice wasn't that great haha. As for the pitch, I'll try it! :)

Thanks for your feedback! This is the type of critique I like, because it helps me so much I will still keep on trying to be less breathy, and I'll make sure to take a listen to the demo.

Hey, Since my last post I have been trying to improve myself. Better way of breathing, being less breathy e.t.c. So I'd really like some critique about this tiny cover. Please just say anything that pops up in your head, every little bit of information could help me really a lot! here is it: https://soundcloud.com/filling-emptiness/halo/s-6kriQ Here's my older post: http://themodernvocalist.punbb-hosting.com/viewtopic.php?id=10181

I don't want to be a pessimist or something, but to me, you're kind of overdoing it. Especially in the verse's. It's a power ballad so, in my opinion, you should build up to a climax. But nonetheless you have a great control of your voice! really good technique! really love your voice also!

first of all, I personally LOVE that song! And beware, I don't really know that much about singing yet, but I think your belts are great. They're really powerful! But a point of critique has to be the pitch. It's not that bad, but sometimes you just really miss a note. But keep on singing, cause you'll get there :)

Ah thanks guys! I will definitely try those exercises :)

@ronws Ok ok you're right @TheAspiringSinger Well, I do scales. But that's pretty much it. I also warm up my voice before singing. I have no idea what exercises would be helpful for me..

@TheAspiringSinger I did the exercise, and still my tone sounded the same to me. I guess the reason why I was using so much breath until now, was that I didn't like my voice. I'd describe it as whining, especially with the higher notes. So I think the breathiness was supposed to cover up my tone. But now I know that's what I have to work on! But this got me wondering. Can you actually still sound good, by having a great technique but a not so great voice?

aah haha lol. Well yeah, but I'm just starting. I'm not nearly as far as you or all the others on here for how long have you been singing, actually?

Oh haha ok! I would love to hear/see you sing an Amy Winehouse song btw. Like back to black or love is a losing game. I think it'd sound amazing! :D
