  1. Hey Aranvind, you are improving a lot... both, singing and recording. It sounds very natural to me, also like your interpretation. However I think you can even achieve more depth in your voice... for example, in the first verse watch out the word trouble, you are putting it too much in your nose. Same thing with words that finish with ee: Be, me, agree... try to give them more space. 

  2. Nice voice!

     

    Pekka

     

    Nice job!

     

    One comment: It sounds like you might be straining or at least pushing pretty hard on the high notes. To me it sounds a lttle out of  place in a song like this. Try to relax into the notes. Its easier said than done, I know - I am working on it myself.

     

    I think if you compare this song with others of pekka , my friend or Chicago for example ; here his voice is heard much freer . Continue on this road

  3. Nice! Great voice and interpretation throughout! I felt that the volume of the backing track was too low in the beginning, but afterwards it picked up. Keep them coming, especially the ones from the early days of U2, my favorite. Keep on rocking Bono!

    Thank you!!!

     

    Awesome cover bro!!!

     

    Also to change nick go to My Setting in the Menu on the top right of the page than select display name in my settings ;)

    Thank you Elvis!! was joking, not really planning to change my nick :D

    Believe it or not, I was planning on covering this song and even started a project file on it about a month or so ago but I have not moved forward with it. I was trying to create my own music track for it but have not really worked out the arrangement.

     

    Now that I think about it, maybe we can do a cover of U2 someday, how you see yourself doing Edge armonies?

  5. Great job - your voice is made for this song!

     

    Thank you, bro!!

    Sounds awesome.....sorry to nitpick. But 4:14 sounds slightly off. Maybe coz I am hearing this on iPad speakers I dont know

    Thank you, dude!! yes, you are right, I notice I´m also off on other few places

     

    So I'm trying to put on my singer's hat and it's tough cause your voice on this song rocks. I just want to ride along with the emotion of the song and not think about anything else. You have a great swagger out of pure ballads and sound great on rock songs.

     

    Alright, another listen, gonna try again. Ok, the share and care rhyme were very emotional and the note was breaking up.

     

    I can't do it, dude, pick a song you rock less on. I hear glimpses of little things that could be polished but I don't want them to be. It's rock n roll.

    Thank you very much Killer for your kind words :) the original idea was to cover "Pride", but seems a little difficult so far 

     

    You got soft and beautiful voice, i like it very much :)

    Thank you very much!! :)

  6. I am a big fan of singers who can emote.  I will always prefer a singer with flaws if he can emote over a technically pitch perfect singer who cannot convey sadness/joy in his singing.  

     

     

    Indeed, I'd change the whole Christina Aguilera's discography just for The blower's daughter of Demian Rice. Great song to cover, btw. 
     
    Well, the whole discography except Say something :D
     
  7. I do not want to contradict you buddy, but you do sound like a singer, a good one actually...
     
    Would like to hear your voice with no effect because it sounds a little robotic at the end of the phrases
     
    finally, I hear a lot of Axel in your voice, that could be good or not... I think to copy is great at the beginning or as an excercise. I suggest you to keep this influence and go further, find out what makes you unique
  8. Killer, I believe that the analysis and returns on the emotional aspect is just as important as technical analysis, because ultimately you sing to convey something to your audience not only to impress; at least that's my view. In that sense I am very pleased that, beyond my technical difficulties, you guys consider nice my singing
     
    Sexy (I always feel weird calling you as well: D), yes, I've tried to study songs the way you suggest. The thing is that I don´t have many references of singers at this time. It happens that before starting to study vocal technique with a modern method I thought I was a baritone, not a tenor. As often happens, I was frustrated because not reaching high notes and being unable to sing the songs of my idols (all tenors). That led me to not sing for a long time. Until one day I began to accept me as I thought I was and started listening to singers within the vocal range I assumed to have by that time such as Josh Groban, Michael Buble. Then I started to develop a way of singing with which I am very happy for songs not very sharp. Then, a year and a half or so, I discovered, thanks to the internet, there are modern methods of singing, discovered SLS and started singing lessons via Skype. My vocal coach told me not to listen to josh groban or michael buble cause they were not good references for me; He told I could sing songs of them but he suggested that I listened to Stevie Wonder, Freddy Mercuri and other tenors. I found it very crazy because I feel that my voice is much heavier than theirs; however with vocalizations I began to reach incredibly high notes (maybe I can record them and upload for you to listen); But, as nothing is free in this life, now I can reach those notes but I can not put much of them into my singing so far, can´t find the same balance as when I vocalize. Plus, it seems that I have to get rid of some bad habits that, paradoxically, sound good but they are incoherent with the way I want to develop my voice.
     
     
     Sorry , guys , hope not dizzy or bore you with this long story
  9. Thank you very much everyone for your comments!!

     

    Strengthlegacy and M.I.R, are you really sure you heard the original version? Lol..  thanks for your compliments, guys, I really appreciate it

     

    Killer, thank you for you comments and demonstrations, very illustrative. In fact, at this point I am trying to build a pharyngeal voice or nasty sound, as some call, to keep weight off my voice and come more easily to the high notes. The fact is that while my brain already understands the difference between goofy and nasty sound, for some strange reason he refuses to apply it when I sing :D btw, I heard some nice Amy Winehouse on your soundcloud page ;)

     

    Robert , thank you for your valuable advice and compliments!! I am aware that you treat these issues in depth in your method which I find very interesting
