MDEW Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Now it's going to drive me crazy not being able to hear the whole song with music. :mad: Some day I will be able to sing like that. Maybe another 50 years. But Some day. Great job. And thanks for sharing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I do have it with the song but I thought the stripped down version would be cool because I don't have a karaoke track for it so it has the original singer Ray Gillan(the man) on it and my voice mixed in. Thanks for the props MDEW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePowerOfOne Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Very good, Dan. I really liked it, I swear I could hear some David Coverdale in there. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Very cool. Ray was very underrated. (as was Badlands as a band) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks Validar and Ray was one of the best 80s guys for sure! So soulful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpall Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Loved your vocals Daniel! Very cool tone and control. Rock 'n' roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Starr Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sounded awesome. Were you using a lot of cry? Sounded to me like you were. Even though the sound isn't what I'm looking for because I'm an R&B singer, it's nice to hear how much cry is needed and how you have to blend it into your singing voice. That is something I'm working on, keeping the cry to keep the folds together, hold back the air and lean into my voice more so I don't crack. I can do it up to a C5 but it sounds weak.

Danielformica Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 D Starr it's something you work with and then lay off. Alot of the cry is temporary and then used for style if you over use it you'll end up off balance. Goto my soundcloud and listen to Al Green Tower of Power and Bobby Womack tune all including this one are sung with different degrees of cry head voice falsetto chest voice etc. it's all a matter of style. Also listen to Bruno Mars he sings with a tremendous amount cry and passion in his voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Starr Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The Bruno Mars cry is something I'm looking for. I like that degree of passion in his voice, very MJ-esque. I'll keep working at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 The term cry is a direction to go towards like If you were singing something very open and having a hard time with it I might say pretend like you are "crying or whining". This would help you keep it together, if you put to much on there all the time it would make you sound very narrow and tight .Hope that helps. You need to very your degrees, there is no one answer.

gno Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sounds great Daniel! Man I wish I could do that ... Maybe some day. Question for you: does singing with that rasp fatigue you any more than if you sang without it? Or is it just an overlay that is pretty easy to do up high?

ronws Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Definitely reminded me of David Coverdale on "In the Still of the Night." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Starr Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah I understand you fully. I've been studying the infamous Vocal Power 4 video by Tony Hora. It's been helping a lot. Still got that pressure feeling at E4 onwards but I'm slowly getting there. It's getting my mind around thinning the cords but still leaning in and supporting.

Danielformica Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks guys! And geno I guess it fatigues me a little but not enough to make me not want to make that sound. I had to build up to it like anything else(range etc). I couldn't do it a first and I wouldn't until I got it from being relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Starr Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Actually I just re read one of your posts. I think I'm cryng too much and that's why it's becoming tight and narrow up high, as well as sounding whiney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 That could be it dstarr.. A lot of times when we learn something new we think it's the answer but all it is, is the answer to how your voice was that day you learned it.. That's why I stick to the fundamentals and principles that are for everyday voice application. If my voice gets out of whack I use a trick like a cry or a whimper or a grunt etc to help me get to where I'm going. Once I get it I go back to a neutral singing position and work..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felipe Carvalho Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Top quality Daniel, very cool. I was with the file here and took a listen today . It sounds very fun by its own, and thats what we all need when recording any kind of material. A great reference. Oh yeah, very cool how controled and relaxed your voice is, you always go away from terms and technique arguments, but execution at this level is virtuose. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 WOW. Great voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks Felipe I really appreciate it.. I know I run away a little from those terms and tech arguments. Truth is I know the terms and the tech But I feel practicing something is much more efficient than talking about it. Its like teaching my daughter to drive,she has read the manual and the DMV material but when she got behind the wheel she couldnt figure out how to use the gas and break properly and was steering into curbs because she didnt know how to control her car(voice) Its all about practice and experimenting on what you THINK IS HEADVOICE FALSETTO CURBING EDGE ETC:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
