Keith Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hey guys, I want to try and cover "Don't You Cry" by Kamelot... I have having a hard time in the chorus - I can't reach the high notes without making it sound like a metal scream. If I lower the air pressure, nothing comes out.. In theory, if I can scream it, shouldn't I be able to sing it quietly and soft? Maybe it is just too high for me, but I have always chosen songs that were too high for me lol. Any advice would be helpful I'm sure. ~Keith Here is the video in case you guys need to hear the chorus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw9U0tkGPCw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoHere Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 keith, exactly where on the video are you referring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slstone Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 methinks that Keith is as much of a Kamelot fan as I am. And I know the part to which he is referring. During the chorus, Roy Khan sings some high notes, but he doesn't belt them out. He almost does it in a falsetto, but he does't sing it loud. It's a beautiful song, but very tough to do...Roy is definitely a one of a kind when it comes to vocalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 The first chorus starts at 1:22 - the high notes in there - when he sings "don't you cry or suffer over me", and the next part that is even higher.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
