You'll Accompany Me. Suggestions?

[MDEW]

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.

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.

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?

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?
