Review My Singing Membership 2 cats in a dust bin Posted July 5, 2016 Review My Singing Membership Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi there I am pretty sure what I have provided is a streamable link and not a downloadable one It is hosted by "Google Drive" I only have the most basic of playing and recording equipment which dose not allow good quality recording of the vocal spectrum I guess.

Administrator Robert Lunte Posted July 5, 2016 Administrator Share Posted July 5, 2016 Thats correct... the right place. Be sure to upload an avatar to your profile if you could please... Review: - Where are you? It looks like the cab of a truck? - Cat... you need to tune up... this is not in pitch... start by getting this in the right pitch.... You need someone to help you with this and coach you on this. You really need to take lessons... It can be improved, but you will need help.

TMV World Member Collin571 Posted July 8, 2016 TMV World Member Share Posted July 8, 2016 you're sound is extremely mouthy and unpleasant. Too much involvement of the mouth and improper support. You need to work on either dropping the accent or embracing it, vocal twang exercises might help. You can probably make yourself sound good with training and practice but you've got a long way to go.

TMV World Member Collin571 Posted July 8, 2016 TMV World Member Share Posted July 8, 2016 well the supports not terrible for what you're presenting but the flow for a completely resonant sound is going to be much harder until you train your diaphragmatic muscles.

Review My Singing Membership 2 cats in a dust bin Posted July 8, 2016 Author Review My Singing Membership Share Posted July 8, 2016 Collin Did you manage to download the .mp2 link, the one I uploaded first, or just the first one (the .mp4 video) So are you saying I can work this song if I get vocal twang exercise from a teacher/ coach? All I can see from diaphragmatic muscles is the it is a muscle used for breathing Have you had singing lessons in the past for your self Collin?

And made it into chamber choir lol my voice was terrible back then though, I just know from experience what your voice starts off sounding like when you first start recording is not the same as what it will be with practice and plenty of changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted July 8, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted July 8, 2016 Just now looked at the link and my first thought was; "Travelling in a fried-out combie. On a hippie trail, head full of zombie ..." I would say that there is a little too much nasality and volume, which could easily cause you to miss the pitch you actually need to be on. Everyone here has already offered better advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Review My Singing Membership 2 cats in a dust bin Posted July 9, 2016 Author Review My Singing Membership Share Posted July 9, 2016 I have managed to convert to .mp3 so hopefully you can now stream them This is the one I did at full https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B897xTc-9m8BZE9xSVRXWE5kdnM And this is done again played down https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B897xTc-9m8BSUlJSGVnTGFCR1U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted July 9, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted July 9, 2016 Okay, those links worked. You are off pitch and it is not just a matter of singing a song relative to itself but in a different key. There is no consistency to suggest another key. That is important because instead of a deficiency in hearing the key of the song which might make you consistently a half-tone away in either direction, what it means is that you are not hearing yourself and your notes in relation to the music. So, you need to work on that. If you do not have access to an instrument you can find tone files online. And you may have to continue to record yourself and listen back. Are you listening back now and can you not hear the difference between what you are singing and what the music is? It's been said that there are no tone-deaf people. I try to stay from such grandiose statements. Second, articulation. Singing is different than speaking, forever and amen and I don't care how stubbornly someone else may want to hold on to the idea that it is and they would easily and in dedicated fashion beat their head against a brick wall until it is a bloody, pulpy mess, having died proud and mistaken, this is not the hill one should die on. Give it up. So, that means quit reciting the lyrics but sing them as notes of a musical instrument. You are not hear to sing as a kiwi, aussie, or a proper brit. Can others do it? Yes, and a big woohoo for them. For others, it is best start plain and simple and bring the fancy stuff back in later. And stay away from the harsh consonants and fricatives. Your k sound is actually, to my ears, a ch sound. It is so pronounced in the chorus "walk away" and it is distracting. You need to soften that to more of a g or softer, even, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
