Jeremy Mohler

Nice job Gneetap, I don't have much constructive criticism as your technique seems to be better than mine (especially for the high notes) but I think that MDEW's advice of raising it a step higher to give it more punch is solid.   I liked the chorus effect you put on for the chorus.  

Exactly. I think one of the lessons that this recording and effort is teaching is that a really great song will still sound great regardless of who's singing it, Heather singing it, etc.  of course within reason. My version is very different than his, yet it still captures the story and the same idea. 

Here is one for Glenn. I decided to just go ahead and post it as is. The more I messed with it the worse it got.
Comments welcome anyway.............
 
 

Ron's got some insight, for sure. He mentioned Prince to me, completely out of the blue, a few months ago.

RIP David Bowie:
 
Great idea gsoul, keep em comming folks!

I liked that, Felipe. I recorded that one the day after he passed. Might do a bit of a remaster at some point for more fidelity. 
I liked Ronws singing Space Oddity too. Actually I've liked everything everyone has done so far. This thread has some of the highest batting average of our challenges.

Loved it, Killer. Can always hear the passion with you, and you always implement a subtle accompaniment. Exactly the way I would do it, if I could play
 
 
Always so hard on yourself, lol. Another one I haven't heard. It wouldn't be a challenge if you chose an easy song to sing. Feel free to polish it in here.

I liked it. Totally the right song for your voice and vice versa. Keep doing that. And have fun.

Wow! Great job Jeremy! I really liked your tone and the rasp throughout the song. Even though it seemed you strained a bit in a couple of spots, I think it didn't impact the song negatively. Cheers!

Yeah, I throw on a preset compressor to all my takes.  I don't have any sophisticated grasp on dialing it in to fit the mix though.  

R.I.P David Bowie, once for actually passing and another for me slaughtering his music.  Nevertheless, here is my nearly late cover of "Starman" In tribute to the Starman himself who most certainly is back home planning his next visit to Earth right now.

Yep, that's still me man haha.  Making some progress though for sure but anyway, well said advice.  

I know the lead never went there. The backing harmonies did in a few places so if you want to do them it could be useful. I was just showing the coordination is flexible, the more open posture can go from the lowest notes to falsetto and to whistle.
You've had the higher larynx thing for quite some time. I noticed with my mother as well. She grew up in the south. She was doing the high larynx kind of like a closed EE sound and she couldn't bridge into the falsetto.
I got her to open up by starting with an open vowel. Kind of sob at it. If you lift primarily the tongue the larynx can stay more stable and the pharynx can be a bit more open. Once that feeling of stability is there, you can creep back up to a point that is more 'you.' But yeah, let the larynx stay neutral or down, the throat stay somewhat open, and use the tongue for as much as you can. Once the larynx starts jamming and the pharynx starts collapsing, bridging smoothly first starts getting difficult for me and then impossible where it's like a full on jam.
Come to think of it I think this would have also been useful for Jeremy. He was getting a cut off point on his bridge for awhile there with his larynx shooting up. A way to think of it is twang with the tongue but not the larynx.

I tried multiple times for a cover and I was bad every cover haha... although I do have this one which is kinda alright but it's a pretty unknown tune: http://picosong.com/NAQD/  Kinda cheesy early 60s Bee Gees tune rather than the crazy disco stuff everyone knows.

Thanks man, was definitely a challenging song for me.  
I would really like to hear you do "Nights On Broadway" as it has a good soul groove to it that I think would match your voice perfect.

Thanks a ton guys, this is the type of tune I wasn't expecting to get much feedback on so I really appreciate it.  Will keep your thoughts in mind.

great job, i have never heard this song before and i thought you did a great job with it. You have a smoothness in your voice which is great to hear. I can also hear the emotion in the song.

I liked it Jeremy! I never heard this song before, but I thought your voice was a perfect match for it, sweet and smooth with a touch of sadness (it sounds like a wine description). I think I heard a few off-pitch moments easy to fix, but overall it was a good cover. I don't know why but I was transported to some beach watching the Sunset...
