Nicogratouille Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi! I haven't been able to sing for almost 2 weeks now and just got a little bit of my voice back today. This is my first attempt, with all the good (hopefully ) and the bad stuff! I won't leave this online for long as it is a little embarrassing... https://www.box.com/s/chua0xs13miihmnaz4pn Deleted! Second attempt: https://www.box.com/s/zmqg9ftwpsycbuqeyv7m Before I begin actually working on it I would like to know if I'm on the right track here? Can I sing like this in a live situation? Will the mic pick me up ok? Any ideas/tips on how to practice this song? I really dig that lighter sound color he gets! Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicogratouille Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Great job you got this Seriously? Thank you If you have any good tips on working this type of light coordination, I'm all ears! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Do what you are doing..think about the sound you want to make before you make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDEW Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 :) If I sounded that good I would stop hanging around here. Just kidding I'd stay here anyway. I like the sound and you seem to have a handle on it. This just adds to times that I have to say If you think that sounds bad I wish I could sound as bad as you.

Nicogratouille Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 No, I don't think it sounds bad. I'm just very self-critical, always been... When I listen to myself I tend to hear all the mistakes and imperfections... I don't have this problem when I listen to other people though Thank you so much for your feedback . I'll definitely be working on this song tomorrow! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicogratouille Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Here's my new attempt. Obviously i'm blending a lot better and feel more in control here. I notice I cracked on "feelings" but maybe that could be used as an effect? What do you think? https://www.box.com/s/zmqg9ftwpsycbuqeyv7m Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpall Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I listened to your track and the original. Good job man. I would suggest that you try to sing the song with a bit more "cry" in your sound, like you're in pain. The original singer does that, although not on the highest phrases (there he's in pure headvoice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicogratouille Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks Jonpall , did you listen to my first or my second attempt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devaitis Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 nicely done. Keep some practice to smooth it. I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpall Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks Jonpall , did you listen to my first or my second attempt? I was referring to your first clip. I just listened to your second one and that one is more along the lines that I was talking about. The latter clip was better, overall, IMO. Cheers!

The last clip is definitely better, I think it's coming along! nicely done. Keep some practice to smooth it. I liked it. Thanks I will :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicogratouille Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi everyone, Just played around with the second verse today. Here it is: https://www.box.com/s/hrqhv4t0uzaem3tpt3aq I still have a little bit of trouble controlling my voice (the opening run is not very smooth haha ). The more I'm singing this song the more I realize how challenging it is! All the colors and dynamics you have to use... It really requires a good command of one's voice! I'm definitely learning something here Also, I'd like to point the importance of recording yourself when you practice. When I listen back to what i recorded I often find that what feels like a very small sound in my head is actually not that small! Always had a tendency to push a little (just to be on the safe side...) but now I'm learning to let go and it feels so much better Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon T8W Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (https://www.box.com/s/hrqhv4t0uzaem3tpt3aq) <-- lol I thought it was Brian McKnight till I cross-checked the name. Brian did the same runs in his song. Impressive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
