Dream On (As Promised)

[Keith]

Here, you will find me stumbling through Dream On. I actually had to record the first half and take a break as I got fatigued. I have no idea what is wrong with me.

Very good. Some parts are really good.

If you want to improve your highs try sing like that:

[Keith]

Yeah...About that. Wish I Could!

[devaitis]

Make your wish come true.......

Everything's up to you. You are really gifted man. Practice, practice and once again practice.

I think Robert should be listening to the songs I post so he has a head start on my issues for when I start paying him. :)

Keith, I applaud that you did the Ronnie James Dio arrangement. His was truly inspiring. I first heard his version on my cd, "Not the Same Old Song and Dance," which was an album of various artists covering Aerosmith songs. For example, Ted Nugent did "Rag Doll."

You have a Dio kind of voice. I bet you you could swing at "Rainbow in the Dark" and knock it out of the park. I've done that song and enjoy it but I bet you would get a more similar sound than I did, if that's your bag.

I have also done "Dream On" in the past. I usually hit the Ab5 that Steven does but cleaner. Mainly because I don't have the same vocal anamoly that he has.

Well done, Keith, and bravo.

And don't feel bad about doing comp'ing the vocal track in two takes. When I did "Rainbow in the Dark," I had just received the mic I now have from Thanos. I was excited and oversinging and wearing myself out. So, I sang a section, rested. Another section, rested. Third section, rested and exported to one vocal track which comp'd it for me. Then, I sent the comp'd vocal track and the karaoke track to our other member, Snax. And he mixed it for me.

If I had your email, I would send it to you and you could hear how it ain't no crime, once in a while, to comp a vocal track.

LOL, my email is keith_goehner@yahoo.com

I'd love to try rainbow in the dark, but it's a bit out of my range. And with all the issues I have with trying to get into head voice, I'll have to wait on that one.

Nice head voice - on C5. Good passagio F4-Ab4 in the chorus. You've got the head voice down. Maybe you just need to practice it on a daily basis.

[Keith]

Head voice excersizes! YAY! Sirens? And , I hit a d#5 today... I think thats the highest I have ever hit. Then, after singing for a few hours today, I went to karaoke and sang "Runaway" (Jovi) and Turbo Lover(Priest) Had a good day with it lol.

Keith, if you can do "Turbo Lover" in the original key, you are going through the passaggio in the chorus. And I think your voice is better than you are letting on. D#5? That's definitely a tenor note.

[Keith]

D#5 is the absolute limit - not quit a usable note as it gets very distorted and takes a ton of breath. I think Turbo Lover was tuned down a 1/2 step. Whats my next step in making my head voice stronger? I'm not so much concerned with expanding range until I have strength behind it.
