Manolito Mystiq Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hey there, So here you go. A full recording of the song. Interestingly, there are spots where I easily hit the high B’s, but there are places with constriction. At times it sounds cool because of the creaky presence, but obviously I could need some correcting on that. Also, I sometimes sound a little, muffled, like I hold back, along with some off-pitch moments. The final time I sing ‘Children of the Damned’ is actually pretty relaxed, powerful and well pronounced (with the E6 and added vocal fry, me experimenting my whistle voice). There are timing issues too, but the band wasn’t so steady at places to begin with. On to take 2, but maybe you hear other stuff I could work on. :cool: Sincerely, Manolito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Most people that do an E6 can't use it much but it kinda sounded cool in this. I have done a C6 in full voice but not very often. Depends on the song and the feeling. Anyway, sounded like you were having fun and good for you, because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugulator Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hey, man! Not bad at all. I like the vibrato at the end of the higher notes. If I were you, I'd pay more attention to pulling more chest when hitting high notes and adding some rasp at certain phrases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolito Mystiq Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 What method do you use? Because in the methods and system I use, that would only work counterproductive. CVT: I could open up more, I have too much ‘hold’ [Curbing], while I could project more straightforward [Overdrive]. SLS/SS: My larynx position is too high, I need to lower it [this seems counterproductive according to other systems, though; namely EVT and CVT]. I spread my vowels way too much. I’m pulling up chest, need to find another approach. EVT: I could use some neck anchoring for a more balanced sound. My AES is too much at work, causing constriction. High larynx is good, but I could retract more, and balance the usage of my CT and TA muscles better. I have control over my tilt (TA) because of the well done vibrato, but I might tilt my CT more. I could work on experimenting with a thin and thick vocal folds configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think the high notes sound better than the low notes... Overall, you did a great job though. Much better than I could do. Just remember, the low notes are just as important as the high notes. I wish I could sing that high! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolito Mystiq Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Do you mean the first verse? Because after that, you could say I’m only in a high range (E4-B4 and in the end E5 (up to E6)). My last verse (bridge?) is pretty weak. The interjections after the solo were tougher than I expected. I was left with few energy for the last verse.

Olem Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 A good attempt, Manolito. In some places your high notes sound a little squeezed and it also seems as if you stand a little too close to the mic on some high notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolito Mystiq Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yes, I got to learn how to efficiently use my microphone setup. This is just being lazy. Also, yes. I pinch here and there quite some. Will do a redo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gno Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 manolito - you sound much older than you look on your avatar! Nice work! That's got to be a fatiguing song to sing. You held it together and were able to produce that nice vibrato even on the highest notes, which is a good sign. Sometimes the high notes sounded a little squeezed where if you backed off a little it may help reduce fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
