TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted November 4, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Posted November 4, 2013 I still can't get over that G4. Am I approaching the Lower parts wrong? You can hear where I am supposed to be singing Higher but the voice gets stuck. When I do cross over it sounds wrong. https://soundcloud.com/user898702554/youll-accompany-me "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights."

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted November 10, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Posted November 10, 2013 :| No comments?....... Start over?..........get a Job?.......... Seek Mental help?.......... :/ Funny thing is, I have been working on a Bob Seeger song, too. If I can record it today, I will. I liked Phil's advice. Reminds me of my mantra. Key point, just because a note is higher does not mean it has to be louder. Loudness is a relative thing. I am not sure about the pure vowels. I do know that Bob Seeger has a rasp in his voice regardless of where he is in the song, regardless of whether he is singing or speaking and I have listened to lengthy interviews with him on the way back home from visiting family in south Texas, though I live not too far from the border with Oklahoma (It's about 3.5 to 4 hours, long enough to sit all the way through a 2 hour show of music and interviews.) What's more important here and part of what Phil has suggested to others is to break it down and work out a part that is giving you problems. Work it until it is nothing at all. For you will find adjustments in your voice.
TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted November 10, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks for all the help. I usually learn songs by writing the words down and learn the basic rhythm and then just go for it. By doing this I do not take the time to figure out the vowel modifications. I get stuck on trying to sing the song the way I would pronounce the words. I do try to pick the song apart in areas that I am having trouble. On this one I seem to get worse the more I try it. Does my tone need to be reworked also? "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights."
TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted November 11, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks Owen. I feel like my internal equalizer is messed up. Too much highs and not enough mids. The lows are there but they are a little muddy. It gives me a hollow sound. Is that what you are hearing? I can take things too dark but I have not been able to find the balance. Any thoughts on that? "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights."
