  1. bro if i counted how many times i posted "embarassing" clips here i would probably get better at math!!

     

    Also nothing embarassing here. It was a decent effort and that falssetoy head voice thingy works for this song. Also dont be afraid to push a lil bit, breaking is a natural thing for a student of singing.

    And bro im in a same boat with you, i hate lowering key, feels like im settling for less then i could.

    Decent effort bro, post a clip of you trying to add more mass to it and belt the "life's not a wheel" part, people will help you better if they see what are you doing wrong.

    Truly you can only learn from your mistakes :)

     

    p.s. spontaneous Air Grabs are a sign you feel the song, thats one of the more important things for me.

  2. I'm officially using my first post here at TMVW to congratulate you on this magnificent performance! :-) I absolutely loved listening to that!

    I'm interested to know how much work it has taken to reach this level and if you had anywhere near this amount of ability back when you first started.

    ​yea i always want to know that kind of stuff, its a huge inspiration to me when someone says that they couldnt sing for "s##t" and they managed to get to that level.

     

    Awesome cover Felipe :)

  3. Hey guys!

    I did a cover of Claptons Wondefull Tonight. Dont know why but when im recording i feel like a retard. Everything is harder, its like i never sang in my life xD.

    There are quite some pitchy places but its ok i guess. Take a listen and tell me what you think.

    Edit: i took another listen and i hate it even more i want to redo it xD but ill leave this here since i already posted it

  4. Killer, thanks for taking the time to give feedback. As far as the blasting chest comment goes, I was looking for a belty style like Bruce for this song. I went with a more late bridging medium mass approach. I didn't feel any strain and it was resonant so I went with it. 

     

    What do you mean by too sustained? And "it will have to be closer" ? 

    What he is saying is that pitch has to be more accurate and crisp. You touch the note then go flat whereas you should stay on it during the word or a phrase so it goes abit all over the place.

    Btw really nice performance. Only thing that is a lil problematic is pitch and im sure youll get that in no time

  5. Well i simply do resonant tracking long enough until i feel like my voice is agile. In the morning this takes longer ussualy. Also to get feeling of it try singing  a hard song for you just a few hard phrases and then do Resonant tracking for 15min then try singing it again. Repeat until you feel sstisfied. 

    So after warm up when you are ready i ussualy take one of two aproaches. And thats Top Down training (sirens and workout with heavy use of quack and release and dampen and release and wind and release) or resistance training (attack and release , contract and release).  I dont like to combine both aproaches together, it kinda puts me off balance. So i pick one and work i that day. 

    Then i sing. If im in the mood for some queensryche or judas priest or any pop songs i do top down that day. But if i feel like some deep purple heavy belting i just do some resistance work that day. But thats just me.

    Also whatever you are doing after warm up follow the preffered components. Embouchure, breath support and managment, vowel modification, consonant modificaton, tounge position, mental imagery, resonance placement etc.

     

    For this works wonders. Im a bit busy lately with college, work, and a new acoustic band i got into but im gonna post something veeeery soon show off my progress. Im actualy able to sing stuff evenup to C5 which is something i havent been able to gery recently.

  6. Personally for mecits crucial to do 30-40 min of resonant tracking. It really makes all the difference. AWESOME warmup. I just recently got in a band (buddy and me, 2 guitars and me on vocals) for summer gigging and when i actually do it it changes everything. I was able to sing 2-3 hours consistently. 

    After that sirens and onsets is the game changer. Its simple enough to explain but tricky to execute properly. But if you do and understand why and how, its monster.

     

  7. This is kind of why it took me until now to get interested in this software stuff. I don't like the tricks and all. If my natural voice can't do it, I don't want it to sound like I can on recording. What I'm really interested in is making some cool harmonies and backup vocals. It's common in the stuff I listen to.

    Nectar 2 has a great harmoniser. Take a look at youtube. 

    Also take a look at that karaoke track i posted maybe you can create a post or add it to original post so ppl can hear it ;)
