Quick Michael Bolton a capella

[jonpall]

Hi guys,

This is me singing Michael Bolton's "How am I supposed to live without you", a capella on a mobile phone. Sorry about the poor quality but I was experimenting with "soul singing" and "soul rasp". Let me know what you think. If you dig it, I might do this song or some other "soul" song or a Foreigner song with a similar sound AND a good backing track with a real mic and Cubase.

Sounded pretty damn good to me — you should definitely try it with a backing track.

Jonpall. It's sound very cool!

Great singing there my friend! I definately would like to hear a version with a backing track.

Would love to hear you do this fleshed out with good recording. I think it has awesome potential to be really powerful!

Very nice jonpall. Great connection with you breath support. And great style and rasp. Interesting approach with raising the pitch each time.

Even on a phone, it sounds as good as the original, to me. I agree with others. Record this for real.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to set a very high standard for this and I know that I'm not there yet, since I can't duplicate this at will. I think that Sammy Hagar used a similar configuration as this. It's like a magic sweet spot that you have to always focus on if you want to control this style. I'm going to work more on it and perhaps record something with a backing track.

Now, that would be awesome and I never thought of the comparison, kudos to you, jonpall. Bolton by way of Hagar. That would work.
