KillerKu, It is great to find another Ronettes fan. I regularly play “Be My Baby†and “Baby I love You,†plus a handful of other girl group songs. It might be my favorite sub-genre of pop music. Have you ever tried singing “He’s a Rebel†by the Crystals? It’s my all-time favorite. One day I’ll get it down, but it changes keys and does some other strange things that I can’t quite manage. The Zippers definitely managed it, though, and turned it into a power pop gem: I’ve spent most of today practicing singing while employing your suggestions. They’ve been very helpful. Thanks for all your guidance and for your kind encouragement. One thing I noticed about the “invisible H†is that it tends to open up my mouth wider (vertically). This seems to improve my tone, while also raising my palette a bit. It is an excellent technique. I gave Tequila another listen and realize that my pitch got slightly crazy on the bridge (“Take another shot of courage…â€). Getting that transition smoother will take some agility practice, which you suggested. I’ll start working on some exercises. Does your handle have any connection to The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis? I had to ask, especially since you have a deep knowledge of early rock. Rock on, Craig

Feedback on my latest Christmas Cover?

My goodness, what a holiday delight. You sing beautifully and you look quite fetching, so I guess you're down to the very finer points, huh? ;-) I'm afraid I can't offer any guidance in that area. Your lovely singing really captures the true spirit of Christmas. May I ask where you shot this video?- 13 replies

Unique style and masterful delivery. I have no useful feedback other than to say keep on singing. Was that you on the piano also? -
Singers, Here's a baritone treatment of tequila sunrise. I would appreciate any feedback anybody might have. Rock on, Craig

Crackly voice and phlem problems in the second set
978699 replied to Dion Montana 888's topic in General Discussions
Dion, I certainly don't want to suggest MORE medication, but as far as phlegm goes I have had great luck with good old Mucinex. Get the generic version from Walmart or your local drugstore. The active ingredient is guaifenesin, which you can read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaifenesin. I'm one of those "naturally phlegmy people," but guaifenesin helps knock it back into line. Craig -

Review & Critique my Singing!

Warm, balanced tone....and nice presence behind the microphone. Personally I'd like to see you sing a tune with a guitar in your hands. Just because I like that sort of thing. -
It's virtually impossible to sing well while "trying to be quiet." You choke you own tone, and you can even damage your voice. I would encourage you to sing in the presence of your roommates. Sing with full breath support, and all the normal resonance of your throat and head, and try to hit a normal volume. It's really impossible to draw any conclusions about your voice until you do this. Right now it sounds interesting and quirky. What else? I don't know. Your song compositions seem like fragments. Flesh these out. Right now, they're each around a minute or a minute-and-a-half long. You don't have to embrace the traditional verse-chorus-verse chorus structure, but you could build them out somehow.

Really enjoyed your singing on this. I think you just about nailed it. A touch of echo and some EQ wouldn't hurt the recording, but the actual singing was right on. -

It would take a truly extraordinary vocalist to sing this a cappella. You almost pull it off in a number of places, but the pitch does drift. Step 1: sing along with a piano, guitar, or some other instrument, simply so you can more easily follow the melody. Your tone is naturally pleasant, though. -
Nice work; smooth and effortless delivery. Time to work in some dramatic stage movements....

Creep - Radiohead

Well done. I hear this song at nearly every open mic I go to, but your version was a nice departure. It really cooked from the midpoint onward. -
Nice work with this. This song is a regular part of my own acoustic repertoire, and I really enjoyed your interpretation. The flange on the guitar is a nice touch.

Once you get the guitar tuned, you might consider experimenting with different capo positions. Your voice is a little light and fluffy on this. See if there is a different key that feels comfortable and which enables you sing with more resonance.
