  1. Just for the record: Singing Success is not SLS it's a vocal program. Studying with an SLS teacher is not the same as using the Singing Success program. There's nothing wrong with goo, gee, mum, or whatever exercise you may label as SLS. It's how you do those exercises that counts not the exercise itself. That's why you need a teacher. And that's also why I personally don't believe in vocal programs. Yes there are a lot of bad teachers out there, some SLS some not. "Speech Level" doesn't mean you have to sing with a low volume and no support... It's more about not pushing and reaching up and down for notes... There's nothing wrong with singing big as long as you do it with good technique.
  2. Ok then work on getting a clear, free, resonant, strong tone in your chest range (up to D4). Get the basics down. To get higher you don't have to do anything different it's mostly a matter of tuning your vowels correctly. If you wanna learn those things you need a good teacher I'm sorry but it's the truth...
  3. Maybe it's time to get a real teacher? Yes there are a lot of concepts out there. People loooove concepts and fancy words... You think there's some magic ingredient you are missing when in fact you simply need to train the fundamentals correctly: air, muscle, vowel.
  4. Hey Nash, your tone is squeezed and thin. Work on relaxing your voice so it sound fuller/deeper, the tone should be closer to that of your speaking voice. Hope that helps
  5. Hey Jarom in my opinion the only thing that sounds good is the 1st line. Everything else sounds like this: Obviously you got a lot of range but can you sing a simple song and sound good? If not that should be your main focus! Sorry if I'm a little hard on you... I mean well
  6. I like the first line, could you sing a whole song like that? The rest is way too wild and out of control... Are you actually trying to sing a song or just having fun making crazy weird noises???
  7. You don't need to do that. Just imitate your favourite singers Your SLS teacher doesn't teach you that? I do it intuitively so I don't understand all the science behind it but basically the vowel is your resonance and you need to tune it to the pitch and the intensity you are singing. For instance a closed "oo" vowel and an "ee" vowel need to be opened a little for the mid/higher range unless you wanna sing softly. If you don't do that you will end up squeezing. "ah" needs to be closed down a little more like an "uh" if you want to stay in a "mix type sound" as opposed to a belt... Listen to your favorite singers you'll hear them doing it!
  8. I think you sound closer to Jaheim and Teddy Pendergrass than to Harrison Craig. Your voice definitely sounds bigger which is nice! I could never get that tone...
  9. Sorry about that James. I can sing it better now so I removed the file. Might upload a new one later, let's see
  10. Hey Bono, as always you sound very good and I think I can hear your higher range is getting better! What I really don't like is how you modify the vowels on "love" and "sung". I know a lot of SLS teachers teach that but I think it sounds weird... Go more towards an "uh" vowel not a round "o". Listen to your favorite singers: are they modifying to a round/closed "o" vowel? I think not.
  11. Hey Java, I like your voice too! Could you please do some Jaheim or Teddy Pendergrass for me? I think your voice goes more in that direction. True your voice needs a little fine tuning here and there but overall technically it's pretty decent. Don't try and make your voice smaller to reach higher notes, that's a bad idea...
  12. Thanks for listening! Not sure about that one: it's a falsetto song and my falsetto is not very good... I can go higher in full voice than in falsetto, go figure...
  13. It's sounding good but too light for the style in my opinion. Since you're singing rock I think you should go for a more belty sound.
  14. Just started working on this song. Tell me what ya think https://app.box.com/s/cnt1ymc5m3jd2o565w59t7thv8g3i3j7
  15. Just think whatever you need to think to produce that coordination
