    Bruno Mars - Versace on the floor (cover) jazzy version

    Thank you, Robert! I glad you like it :)

    I am from and live in Argentina, married with two small children. I am a lawyer but I do commercial activity for living. Not currently taking singing lessons, but I used to do it a couple of years ago. I took classes on skype with a teacher who teaches the speech level singing method. However, I combined it with some exercises for the chest voice.... Music is my lifelong passion, and at this point in my life I am trying to dedicate myself to it in a more professional way ... that is more or less the summary of my life :D

    Billy Joel - These are the times

    Hi Musikman, I Listened to the last two songs you posted. I think you have a very nice and important voice, and a great technique.

    My advice is on the choice of the songs. In my opinion, you should choose songs where you can show the beauty of your voice, as you do in the song of Billy Joel; but also with sharp moments because with your technique you do them very well. A mixture of your two registers, the center and the high, in a one song would be great. In the Journey song ,you do it very well, with great dignity, but is missing the beauty of your voice.

    Donny Hathaway - A song for you (cover)

    This was great. You managed to keep your smooth crying timbre, without squishing it on the high notes, which I believe is good progress. I wouldn't be able to sing this song as smoothly, imo and would need more twang, brightness, and harshness in some of the upper regions. You've really expanded your core timbre since coming here.

    Overall, it's just a great performance. I kind of like the occasionally odd vowel due to your native language. I'd personally get frustrated if everyone sounded the same on every vowel. I hope you keep a bit of it, for flavor as a singer. Maybe split the difference. It's part of what makes you refreshing to hear. You sound great, but not like a nameless, faceless American Idol contestant and little quirks are part of it.

     
    Thank you very much , John !! :) I appreciate very much your words. I recently discovered Donny Hathaway and I think I 'm going to spend a while studying him

    Victim of a Foolish Heart - Joss Stone

    in REVIEW YOUR SINGING - SHARE YOUR SINGING

    You have the kind of voice that I love! deep and soft. Good for you!  ;)

     There is something , however, that strikes me . Sometimes I notice as a gap in your voice, a hiatus or and as if it were a little tired. Could be?  Please take good care of that marvelous instrument you have.. 

     With regard to this song , I have to say that although I like riffs, runs and all this stuff, you should be careful not to abuse of this, so as not to become monotonous; personal taste. I recognize that Joss Stone uses much this resource , and that's the reason why I do not listen much her songs, even though she has a very beautiful voice. But again , this is just personal taste

    Bono - Never heard you take on jazz but your voice is wonderful for it. You have that round timbre with a very identifiable texture. It's silky and stirs the song up nice.  

    Thank you very much Killer!!! I really appreciate your words.. thanks a lot :)

     I think singing jazz could be great for your development as the meter and phrasing add another dimension that isn't often there in pop/rock.  

    Totally agree! the biggest challenge for me with this song is to not miss the meter. I'll work on it and then upload a new version

    Hope the moving go well with you!!
