    Elvis got a reaction from Enander in First timer attempts Rainbow - Catch the Rainbow   
    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.

    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.

    I wonder why it is that even if the instructions for signing and joining request uploading an image for avatar, many do not want to do that. Is it a matter of being defiant? And why? That is the wrong hill to die on. I used to have long hair and liked having it. Having short hair has helped me to have a better job and paycheck. And so, I cut my hair. A mountain of hair does not put food on the table unless you are Fabio. And I am not Fabio.
    In fact, my face scares some people. So, I have a pic of my dog, Shadow, who will be 12 next month. He is prettier than I am, which may not be saying a lot.
    So, I can imagine someone saying, why the big heartache to have an avatar, which could be anything, maybe some grilled lamb with mint jelly, just to post. And I would counter with, ok, why the resistance to have some kind of image so that mods and admins don't have to keep saying the same thing over and over and over, ad infinitum.
    Just thoughts I ponder while I wait for the a/c guy to visit.

    Elvis got a reaction from GrungeManiac in This is my first attempt to rap what do you think?   
    I live in Croatia (Istria) and im like 1h drive from Italy. Also Italian is like a second language here in Istria so i know how it sounds and i can even speak it abit. And i dont really hear italian accent, just bad pronunciation. Not bad just a bit clunky.

    In Rap music >>>DICTION<<< is the most important. And thats where you lack. You actually have a nice tone for it, its preety easy to listen to you. Just pronunciation need to be better. And i dont hear an Itallian accent at all, but i do hear someone "struggling" to say the word correctly.
     
    Otherwise dude that was preety good. Just watch out on a rhythm a bit.

    Elvis got a reaction from Jabroni in The Evil That Men Do (Iron Maiden Cover)   
    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

    Elvis got a reaction from Annie in The Four Pillars of Singing - Best Training Practices   
    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.

    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.

    Thanks for support G!!! But that tool is alot more than mearly autotune. It has power to transpose a voice up to whole step up and down and preserving timbre. It can also lower the amplitude on vibrato. If there is a very wide vibrato in your recording it can tone it down.

    To me this song is about freedom and the joy of it. Like it says im on top of the world and noone can touch me. I understand KillerKu likes alot of authors and singers with a more sense of emotion and depth to the lyrics, and i agree this song is kinda superficial and self obsessed but that what rock and roll is. Or was xD. 
    Maybe aproach it with a mindset of a winner. Grab a mic and just let it rip. Aint nobody whose better than you

    I had a '68 Mustang with a small block 289 cid and a regular Holley 2 bbl carb and C6 auto-tranny with the slapstick on the hump. I beat out bigger cars because I had gonads made of high tensil steel and driving skills. The only car that beat me on the straightway (westbound 635 going through Garland and into Dallas) was one of my college friends. She had a '69 Mustang El Grande with a 302 cid Cobrajet. Left me eating dust.
    Another time, when I had a '96 Chevy 1/2 ton with a V6 Vortec, I beat a guy who had a Z71 with a stroked 383, for the same reason. Driving skills and commitment to win.
    Ah, my younger days, when I was going to live forever ....
