I was chosing another song to work on and I stumbled upon this one. It has "high" notes (for my standard) and low notes. Definitely difficult for me.

Insights appreciated.

Cheers!

That's really great to hear... I will be thinking on the next stuff I'm gonna work on.

Thanks for the review.

Cheers!

Cool,

my kind of forum dude!

I knew I was reaching when I suggested French. It some how didn’t sound like French either. 

Get’r done Rodrigo!

Done within less than 24 hours, as promised!

I think that those 2 tips (lifting the upper lip to expose the canine teeh, and singing in the "mask") were really great.

Especially the lip thing (which is something I've always seen many singers doing and never understood exactly why)!

I like Roodris,

He wants to get better and is open to feedback and reviews. 

And when you give him feedback, he goes and works on it and comes back with another try.

I really respect that.

Nice job Roodris.

BTW, I gave you a big review on your other tune...  And your in good hands here with Draven.

Maybe Felipe could chime in... @Felipe Carvalho, Maestro Carvalho, Roodris kicked in for the RMS service. He isn't looking for a handout, which is noteworthy. Would love to get your feedback for him if you have a minute.

 

Those words means a lot coming from such a great teacher as you. I'm gonna keep trying hard to improve!

Your voice really nice. It shines on the lower notes, which is uncommon for a woman. I'd recommend working on lower songs and exploring that.

Have you heard of Róisín Murphy? You sound a bit like her in the lower register. Maybe a Murphy cover...

Your timbre is really nice, but you should buy a nicer mic... this microphone makes it painful to try and find your voice in the muffled mix.

About the more technical details, I think you should buy a membership/review... It's really worth it.

Sounded very professional IMO. The forum experts probably will find problems as their vision is sharper, but I am no expert so I found it pretty great!

Noriel,

Welcome to the Review My Singing service, happy to help you.

Thanks a lot! My name is Rodrigo though, Noriel is the late great samba singer that I admire so much!

- What language is this? Is this French?

It's Portuguese!

- It's so low... the note at 1:10 was ok.

But can you tell me the pitch of the note?

Are you singing to the original track? Sounds like you are. Can you get a karaoke track of this?

I try to remove the original vocals, but some of it always remains... It's always a pain... lol. The track I use as a background is a "semi-karakoke-track", I would say.

Try these two things and then post your song again.

Mission given, mission accomplished! Gonna do that within the next 24h.

The pitch of this song is like a rollercoaster (for me, at least), and this has caused me serious problems all the times I've tried to sing it.

I finally managed to get an overall grasp of it, but I don't know if it's acceptable or not. I would like to hear what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong.

(Also, PLEASE someone tell me the note at 1:10 minutes!)

Cheers!!

You're resonating a bit better, but it almost seems as if there's not enough support for you to stay in pitch. That could be partly the air support, but also from singing too low of a pitch. You might try an octave higher. You should be able to get just above a middle-C from good resonant placement alone. From there, the voice shifts a bit, but it's still only a matter of knowing how to build the strength and coordination to take it further.

Weird enough, that pitch (D2-G3) is pretty much my comfort zone... If I go an octave higher, I get lost. Actually, if I start to hit middle-Cs and beyond, things start to go bad...

If you browse through my Soundcloud, you can see that all my songs are sung in the Arnaldo Antunes / Leonard Cohen range (these 2 dudes are my biggest inspirations to sing).

I'm gonna definitely purchase a membership or some reviews to try and investigate the origin of this problem further.

It's extremely limiting for range, sound color, stability, control, sound colors/timbre, and just about anything else about singing, and can be more harsh on your vocal cords as you try to bring different pitches into it. Something as simple as smlining or sneering can help lift your voice. In the vide, I mention also using a finger on your bottom lip and singing up and over it, you have a similar mental tool and result when singing "up and over" the microphone. Resonating in the soft palate and forward is what makes the voice ring out and be what's considered beautiful about singing. Start Tracking (humming while buzzing the lips) all the time, if you want to get more used to proper resonant placement.

I think of what you just described as a "cancer" in my singing technique. Yeah... it took me off guard. I'd just like to know if it has "metastasized" too much (how far has it impregnated my technique)... if you know what I mean.

If you could just listen to one more song and tell me if I'm making these sames mistakes I'd be really grateful.

I will jump in, since I have a bit of time. I used to have a Brasilian (Portuguese) student who sounded just like you.

To note, you're not singing in the above example, rather you're speaking the lyrics - sometimes in pitch, but still speaking. Arnaldo sings the song in the same octave range, but lifts his voice to the soft palate and forward. Singing vowels don't resonate in the same placement that speech vowels do. Here's a good place to start

I think I got what you meant. I think that this speech-like singing is a comfort zone that I got into, thinking that it would make my singing more stable or something along these lines.

Is this really such a bad idiosincrasy, may I ask?

Respectfully,

I'd like to purchase a couple of reviews, but the dollar is very expensive here in Brazil at this exact moment.

Maybe a special price? lol

If not possible... if I receive some money as chrismas gift maybe I can get one or two reviews. As Robert stated in another thread, you gotta invest in what's important to you.

Thanks anyway!

Hey guys. The thing is, as I have said in other threads here, I barely sing high at all.

I'm very inspired by Leonard Cohen and my voice is pretty limited in the high register, so I transpose most songs to the bass region (even Avril Lavigne songs!)

This Brazilian song (Portuguese is my mother tongue) represents my singing style very well. I'd like to hear opinions about my technique and what I could do to improve it!

(EDIT.: I'd also like to know what is the last note of the song, please!)

I really liked your voice. For real. You got real talent! Keep it up.
