TMV World Legacy Member Freddie Posted June 14, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 14, 2013 I was quite active on this forum a few years ago while searching for a remedy for a issue I had with my voice (unwanted rasp/fry). I'm right now involved in a aor/hard rock project called "Osukaru" which has previously released two critically acclaimed records. This fourth record goes under the title "Triumphant" and the following song is one of the singles taken from that particular album Singingwise it is kind of a midrange song. I try to keep a "fat" sound in the chorus by adding extra vocal fold mass. I'm aiming for a Kelly Hansen/Lou Gramm type of sound. How am I doing?

TMV World Legacy Member analog Posted June 15, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 15, 2013 AWESOME brother!!! I'm so happy for you, this band sounds like a blast to sing for. Vocals are great as always and sounds like you've fixed your issue. My only question is, is the chick singer dating the band leader? Her vocals are WAY up in the mix...typical But, if she's your wife/girlfriend, then she sounds great!!! Seriously, you nailed the Hansen/Gramm vibe for sure. I'm gonna check out more stuff on YT.

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted June 15, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 15, 2013 Way cool, Freddie. That is a really good song. To me, you sound a lot, and I mean a lot, like Joe Lynn Turner, and I mean that as a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Freddie Posted June 17, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 17, 2013 Why, thank you! What I've been trying to do the past three years is to get the thick and even sound through out the "mid-low" - "mid" - "mid-high range" by bringing more mass up in the register. Before, say three years ago, I used to find a more whiny tone in the "upper mid register" by pushing the voice. By just moving the resonance slightly back in the mouth and keeping that "chest sound" It feels more like "one" voice nowadays. Voice issues comes and goes...Im thinking its due to allergy or something. It usually goes away i I keep cool for a week or two Ronws - Joe Lynn Turner, wow. Well he sings with a similiar technique and style I suppose. Pretty much in line with the singers I mentioned above (Kelly Hansen, Lou Gramm).

TMV World Legacy Member Consumingfire39 Posted June 17, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 17, 2013 Sounds amazing! Incredible musicians, your vocals were perfect and the song has a lot of very unique things about it. Your technique sounds very healthy and it has some elements of Gramm, Michael Bolton and even a little bit of Steve Perry at some parts. If you want some advice, the only problems for me actually had to do with the female vocalist. They weren't really vocal problems as much as they were mixing issues. Some of her lower notes were completely drowned out by the music at a few parts of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Consumingfire39 Posted June 17, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 17, 2013 Like someone else mentioned, the female vocalist is really high up in the mix at times when you are both singing. A good example of being too low in the mix for her, while singing by herself is 1:03 to 1:06 of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much in line with the singers I mentioned above (Kelly Hansen, Lou Gramm). I agree. I think they had similar styles and you are singing they way that they do. You might have been aiming for Lou Gramm and wound up with JLT.Oh, unmerciful fate! Dude, you are a rock star. Just remember the small guys like me when you get so big you need a manager to watch your manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Validar Posted June 18, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wow, this really does sound like Joe Lynn Turner. (one of my all time favorites) What you've got going on now is really strong. I wouldn't change anything. Good job. I've never been skydiving, but I've zoomed in on Google Earth really, really fast.
