Go for Rock! I wanna rock and roll aaaaallll night, and party everydaaaaay! xD

Let me just add that there are only few better fellings than getting good at what you love. Consider it a hobby and really work as much as you can. Voice is a beautiful instrument and its free. Take care of it and train it. You will be amazed when you see what youvare capable of.

I would vote for blues or rock but im down for anything.

Im on mobile so i cant hear it but i will say this. IF U LOVE SINGING NEVER NEVER GIVE UP ON IT.

I would advise removing death metal Just because a beginner can make some serious dmg trying to sing those heavy growls and distortion.

Haha guess my idea was fruitfull. I loved these competitions when i was active on onw guitar forum and im so glad we embraced it here.

Im up for anything. Maybe even Opera xD

Simpan you cant just learn to phonate higher notes. Its not like you will do step 1 2 3 4 and belt D5. To sing higher you need to train the musculature and coordination in your larynx so it can support the weight of the resonant energy being produced. And this takes years, but ofc ater a few months (6-8) you can start feeling very good proggress.

Btw preety good cover. A little rough but non the less preety great.

This feels very authentic to me. From phrasing to your timbre. Very Lenonish. I like it alot. Truly i do!

I dont really hear nasality so i think you got that down! Also this sounds great already, studio might polish it a bit but thats marginal!

Also that preety awesome light phonation. Truly this is something that i cant do at ALL. This song is right up there in my range but i sing it alot more powerful (which is bad). I sound more like Coverdale singing this song instead Paul Mcartney. Kudos A!

Yes, this has turned out to be very cool... nice work Umesh & Felix.

 

Felipe, what do you mean, "8 days left"? 

end date for submission is 30th

ill post mine near the end. If i dont make another ill just post the one i already did

Preety awesome bro!!!

And did i see correctly a queensryche logo in one of the pics? Were you opening for Queensryche or just a Tribute band? Either way AWESOME!!!

Would be nice if u shared a link to a clip ;)

Killer tone!

I envy guys like you Even if you sing sour it still sounds awesome!

Will be very interesting to hear how you will develop your higher register. My guess is that you will end up sounding something along the lines of this:

>

Great potential!

Wow bro!! Coming from such an awesome singer like yourself that means ALOT! 

Thanks for your compliments, it truly warms my heart (and cords )!!

Thanks guys alot. Gonna recieve a condenser mic in a week or so and im gonna try to record full version

But i can train to helt those Notes?

Ofc. I used to fail miserably on Children of the Damned, even on the verse. But now im almost there. Few more months and i might give it  fair try. Practice is everything.

Ohhhh I see... yeah I've also noticed that many people don't like James Blunt but anyways I love this song hehe...

And yes you are somehow correct. Many Names in India are like this .. cool seems you know quite a much about India

Well Thanks again bro.. I will try to work on my accent in future.. Let's see...

Thank Vishnu for a wonderful tone of voice ;)

Hi Elvis,

 

Haha.. How come you know that I'm Indian ? Well you are right brother it's really very tough for me to catch the accent of these Western and American songs. Well still I do love to sing them   But if you can help me by figuring out the words where my accent was wrong, I will try to improve them in my future singing but again can't guarantee as You know I got a complete different Indian accent   ...

 

And thank you so much for your appreciation bro... didn't expected that someone will like it even more than orignal.. hehe )  

 

Thanks a lot once again for ur valuable time to watch my this recording.

I dont like James Blunt that much maybe thats why i like it more xD

I cant really help you with the accent cuz i dont know what it takes to correct it (beside imitating as much as possible). 

Also how do i know your Indian? Well i think in India names like Kumar, Sanyaj, Sathya, Patel etc. are preety common but i might be wrong  

Also accent is not that bad at all small correction is needed only.

Bro if u correct you accent a bit (and i know its hard as an Indian) you would be preety awesome. Nice phrasing, i like it even more than original xD

Ok i have trained some onsets on youtube and they are working good. I am a beginner. And i have practiced some sirens the problem is i tend to go into head voice on the high notes because of the frequency. And it sounds like i am pushing my chest voice up.

I would like to hear the clip of you singing without distortion. Use that sound that you are "pushing". We might help you better

If your band mates say it's fine, just go for it! That will be "your sound". I don't think you can do much until next saturday anyway. With that said, it could be much worse!

Also, no matter what you do it will ALWAYS be people that will dislike it. Might as well do your thing and don't care what other people think from the start

Good luck!

Great Advice! Performing is awesome!!

Its our first show. I had some trouble because i was nervous when i recorded it.

Can you share the setlist with us?

No it doesnt hurt i do that to sing high notes otherwise it sounds straining. Does it sound bad?

Well depends what you are after. For going out of the box and making a "modern metal" style cover its fine, but for a real IM tribute cover it should be cleaner. That said, i dont think you can magically belt out B4 in a week so i guess you should perform with this type of sound.

Kinda seems you cant really play and sing at the same time. You are loosing phrases when playing (at least in the clip).

Also disregard my comment about vocal suicide cuz obviously it doesent hurt so i guess its fine.

Im also a beginner so wait for someone more knowledgable to help you brah

Bro stop that right now. Thats vocal suicide right there. False cord distortion is ok and not harmful when done properly but you are killing your voice. Its not bad. You can sing decently esspecially the lower part. But that highs were scary to even listen.

Btw that distorted sound you made is common in technical death metal and metalcore genres but i dont think your doing it right.

Does it hurt?

Great take bro! some small wobbles here and there but generally you nailed it love this song

Freaking love this song. Gonna give it a hear when i come from work.
