    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.

    So after a long long while i returned to singing and even tough i sang this last year, i wasnt really practicing in a strickt sense of that word.
    But some good things happened to my voice.
    I will return to forum in pursuit of more vocal improvement.
     
    I wanted to share a small clip of some sirens up to C#5 for your reviewing. I understand this is far from perfect but this is something i havent been able to do before.

    I just wanted to know if im on the right track to gaining vocal range or am i just shooting in the dark.
     
    Thanks!

    its a nice voice to start training. you seem to follow pitch ok but you are a pitchy. what i mean is, you can hear and follow pitch decently but not good enough. Also the main thing thats a problem with you is that you sing like you speak and thats not the way to do it. this takes practice but a decent start. get a training programm or a cheap vocal coach nearby.
     
    I say cheap because you would want someone tto teach you the basics and that not a hard job to do so any decent coach can do that. later on upgrade

    Ant let me chime in. What i was doing and made ALOT of progress was this.
    10-20 min of resonant tracking - T&T and T&R
    10 min~ of doing sirens with various onsets - but i always go for either light mass or belting stuff...so i either do D&R and A&R,,,,, or P&R and Q&R (Q&R is both high and low mass depends how you use it)...the reason why i separate my high mass and low mass each time i practice is because it sometimes puts me off balance to do both, i get confused and start doing stuff incorectly.
    10min-30min~ of fun exercises like groove, blues, staley, and anthem of reverie, also minor scale is also preety good cuz its a bit unconventional but gives a great insight how to apply scales to singing, cuz most of the time metal/rock songs are in minor keys (mostly E G and A) so some of these notes sit there in a manne it would in song melody.
    By now you should be decently warmed up, and now you should sing. Singing is so important. I would say 70% of the ingrained knowledge and progress you get from singing USING THE PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TECHNIQUE YOU DID EXERCISING.
    If you do this as much as you can you will be golden in no time.
    P.S. i know all these posts here can be daunting, when Robert writes you an essay you dont know what to make of it.
    My advice is, to try as much things as possible and find out what works good for you then DEVELOPE your own routine after a while. But always experiment, you never know what good can come out of "tips" here and there.
    Also my routine is really straightforward and should be usefull to you also.
    BTW SINGING IS NOT COMPLICATED..people are..it took me 7-8 months to find out what to expect and what everything means.
    My mantra is this. GOOD TECHNIQUE INGRAINED IN MUSCLE MEMORY + GOOD RESPIRATORY BALANCE AND SUPPORT are CORE to good singing.
    Esspecially good breath support. If you let your throat do everything for you you will get tired in 10~ min, and thats not how you will be able to do any show, esspecially with higher register stuff. What good is singing high when you cant sing more than 5 seconds without lossing breath and collapsing.
    2 goals im working for
    -applying good mechanical and respiratory techniques (all in 4 pillaars) (takes about 3-5 months of good training to get a hang of it)
    -strenghtening the musculature to be able to carry those high notes without blowing them open (also included in pillars)(takes 6-12months)
    AFTER that you are still not done, by a long shot. you just actually started, now ahead of you is a LIFELONG proccess of refining and preserving the vocal health.
    NOT TO MENTION ART and SINGING that you also have to train and make "anthony sound like anthony".
    Hope i helped. Cheerios!!

    I like your style. It is kinda fresh but influences from modern music are abvious. Therevare pitch issues but the overall tone is good. 
    Also dont cater your music to anyone. It should be the expression of yourself. Otherwise your just anothet wishy washy looking for money and fame. And you really cant cater music to everyone.
