Hunting High and Low Trial

Here, I am trying different larnyx positions, trying to get a fatter sound. This song is a darn nightmare for me. This is the second attempt at it. I confess, that I punched in a spot in the chorus. Let me know if you hear any differences in tone throughout.

Keith - Nice performance! The only difference in tone I heard was in the chorus when you go up to the G#4 - it sometimes sounded a little thinner than the lower parts, but other times it was very consistent. Great job. That sounds like a very demanding song with a lot of notes right in the middle of the passagio.

Yeah man, this song kills me. I tried it long ago, before I had a somewhat developed head voice. I have been working on strengthening my head voice for the last few months, and it is going very slowly! But, I think I have made progress. Thanks for listening!

I also think you have made progress. I can hear you working on the things you have mentioned in the other thread about not singing so loud in your lower end, which will give you the one-voice effect. Something I have also learned in my journey, even though I am a "tenor," already. Most times, the chorus was good, better than the verses, which had some cracks here and there. The highest notes, those were good. You finally let go of the good vs evil fight of "chest" and "head." The other money notes were the bite you put on "wind." Loved those.

When I hear your voice, I hear most of the one-voice already there. I have a thought about that and I will email you.

Thanks Ron! I'll check my mail before I crash.

Keith, it could have sounded awesome if you tried to replace the falsetto with a mid voice pulling more chest when singing high. The lower parts are perfect.

Working on it lol. The lower parts are still pretty high. This version is leaps and bounds better than My first try.

For some reason, the "uh" shade kills any head voice connection that I have. I can stay in if I use "oooh" o "ah", but "uh" actually hurts.

Thanks for posting the original, Keith. And thanks for choosing a live performance. I am unrepentantly a believer in live performance.

Then I listened again to your cover and have come to a different conclusion. Maybe my ears are different, today. I buy them in bulk at Walmart and change them every few days, along with my socks.

You have a great voice man, always a pleasure to hear.

Maybe a little too light on this take though...

when i go for the fatter sound, i think low......and it seems to get me the sound i want.

I actually discovered this singing Tom Jones tunes lol

Try singing Delilah before a tune like this,and use it as a guide for placement.

I swear it helped me get a meatier sound on my highs.

Yeah, they tune down a half step. I sang along with the tuned down version (before I knew it was tuned down) then recorded what I posted. It was much harder lol. A half step can make so much difference! Thanks for listening and for the advise !

Keith this one needs more work, you brake when you gone higher.

Something that may help is doing the first verses a bit more strong, this way you bring more energy in there which is necessary and its easier to do the passaggio correctly, the way you are doing now its so light that at least with me would leave no room to pass.

This one is not sounding good yet man. Keep it up. About tunning down a half step, try going up a half step, this way you can do the whole chorus and bridge on head voice, less passings.

Thanks brp - The version I sang was in correct tuning, the live version from the original band is a half step down (in case you didn't realize it). Though, tuning it up would have it's benefits :)
