The Scientist cover originally by Coldplay

[RHan]

I rarely listen to the original song, but my friend ask me to do cover for this song. Hopefully can get constructive critique from you guys. Thanks.

Sounds good overall.

Vocal could be louder in the mix.

Your timing and phrasing could use a little work but it's not bad, it could be easily fixed by singing along to the original more.

At times you sounded too nasal/masky/pharyngeal/over-twanged (whatever terminology you identify with). Watch out for that. A darker sound would be preferable, something more "open throat", slightly more like a yawn but not too much.

Your pitch is great.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Owen, you always give helpful and constructive critique. :)

Sounds pretty good. Some pitchy spots here and there. The overall feeling is there, but the phrasing needs some work.

Okay thanks sir. :D
