Agreed.

There is a lovely voice here, but it isn't being utilized to its full aesthetic potential. Draven is correct on his point about resonance. You are resonanting too much in a lower position ( throaty )... with a little bit of good direction and practice, you can learn to lift your resonance to higher positions where it can sort of "float" more. A more "top down" resonance is more maneuverability of your voice because your resonance will not be tethered by the bulk of a more primitive, throaty position. The result of this will also be a much more beautiful timbre and sound color in your voice, in particular for this kind of singing in your sample.

Yes, my program The Four Pillars of Singing absolutely will help you if you choose to make a commitment to the training. 

Would improving resonance also produce a natural vibrato?

Wow! Boyz ii Men and I didn't even get to hear it!

Who's part was it? Was it Shawn? Was it Wanya? 

 

Edit: It wouldn't play at first and I thought it said it was locked, but I heard it.

 

You have a good base, brother. If I would say anything, I would say to try to put more passion into it. The Boyz almost sound like they're crying when they sing this. And try to work on your runs.

Would scales help with runs? I'm finding that I know what notes I need to hit in my runs, but the control isn't there to execute it. It's like my mind knows what to do but my vocal chords aren't in sync. 

Thanks for the replies and kind comments! I know it's hard to take in advice over a forum, as proper guidance and coaching is the way to go. I'll try to take everything on board. Unfortunately, I have many other commitments and I can't really prioritise singing at the moment  I'll do my best to kill it in the shower though!!!

Hi All!

I'm not sure (I might be tone deaf), but my singing is mostly on key, but something is a bit off? I'd just like some feedback if possible to get me in the write direction to a killer voice. 

Thanks everyone!  

I have no clue what 'syncopated 8th up beats' are, nor do I understand the physiology behind singing, so I'm not too sure how to use my 'hard palette'. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit rude, I literally have 0 musical knowledge. 

Thanks for your reply Robert! I really appreciate you bringing your expertise and advice to this forum. Unfortunately no, this song isn't an original (I wish though). Here's the original singer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4GJVOMjCC4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8aVkB9FhIk and here's what I'm basing my short cover off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzGigJivHfU . Also I'm not too polished on theory since I've learnt from watching and listening, so I don't really understand your advice, but a google search won't hurt me though!

Hi everyone! For me music has been on and off, and I feel the urge to reignite that passion. I'm a guitar player and thought I'd try my hand at singing. I'm keen to hear some advice.
