Snejk Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Okay so now it's my time to sing it... Here's how I analyze my voice; I can't sing this song worth shit other than the low verses... The chorus is where I reach my limit when it comes to high chest notes. I do some falsetto singing at the high parts here and it sounds like total horse shit... I choose not to add ANY effects at all to the voice, not even a little d-verb... It was still a lot of fun so I had to try coming up with a harmony or two here and there :3 Also I do a few wails here and there because I think it sounds awesomazing xDD Conclusion; I don't have a "Heavy Metal voice" as much as it pains me to say I would be much more suited for singer&songwriter-stuff... To bad it's boring as hell =( Anyway here it is; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgs-C0UcV0Q Kisses and hugs /Patrik EDIT: Thanks Keith for the instrumental :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeth Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hey man, That was awesome. No falsetto noticed. On the high notes you sometimes sound as cool as James Labrie. Keep on Rockin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks man :}~ The very highest notes such as the last "DANA!" and "I won't cry again, til the sun sets behind your graaaave" is all falsetto :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJDeth Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Snejk: Ok, depends on how you define falsetto. The high parts weren't airy, and had lots of twang, so I wouldn't call it that way. For me they were full head tones :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ah, then I understand :3 I call those notes falsetto too because they are the same coordination with just simply more closure... I mean, a breathy chest note ain't called 'falchesto' if you get my drift :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofleren Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I just like your :3 smileys. Hey, and that was pretty good! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Haha yeah I've gotten totally hooked on those! It's bad when you find out you've written a few of them on your job application -.- And thanks! It's a very hard song... I'm not a tenor so all the lighter parts are tremendously strained since I refuse to go out of chest.. The falsetto/head parts are just... Well, I hope I won't ever have to sing anything like that live, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olem Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hello, Snejk! Nice performance here, i enjoyed it. You sing great in your passagio and like you said - your highest notes are slightly thin and with a little more "mixed voice" you will have them sound fuller. Nothing wrong with them though they sound great as they are, it´s a stylistic choice if you want them to sound fuller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks for listening Olem! The thing is, in my middle register I am very confident in my singing - I think I have a great voice at that little bit of register. A pleasant voice that people enjoy listening to, plus the fact that I can share many emotions and different approaches there. In the high part it is all falsetto(head) and it's basically me just screaming... While the notes are mostly on-pitch (I hope xD) there is nothing pleasant for the ear... I believe I have to practice that alot more make it blend better with the rest of my register, as well as make it not sound so.. "amateurish" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Carvalho Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Too much auto-tune and comping. Didnt like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugulator Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Really good cover! And yet great voice! The higher notes could sound better if you added more "meat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Too much auto-tune and comping. Didnt like it. Auto tune...? There was no auto tune at all... The voice is 100% unprocessed... This is perhaps the single greatest compliment I've ever gotten Jugulator; Yeah I'm with you there... I don't have a very high voice so it's very hard to add meat Especially on the falsetto notes xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snejk Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 You know Felipe, a free advice? Work on your ear. As I said before, I sing just as much with my mouth as I do with my ear because that's where it's all interpreted =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yes, Patrick, I liked your description. Essentially, falsetto with more commitment, as it were. Well done and I like your version better than the original. I know it's hard to consider but maybe you have had the right tone for this song. It wouldn't be the first time a singer sounded better on a song than the original songwriter. It's tough to be you. I don't think anyone has ever accused me of using auto-tune, eh?

Snejk Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks a lot Ron!!! I'm too much a fanboy of Tony Kakko's to even consider myself a singer in comparison... But hey... A compliment's a compliment and I'm really grateful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
