ronws Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I think you captured the mood and intention originally set by E, L, and P. Wise choice to go easy on consonants.Sometimes, those not born to speaking english put an emphasis on consonants and aspirants that is more indicative of their native tongue. Whereas, you speak english better than some americans, even though you still have some accent. I happen to like the accent. It sounded like you were singing through the nose a bit. Nothing wrong with that, for it allowed you to continue a note past an original destination and produce some of the more sonorous tones in your voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvrasseli Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks. The words of this song makes me sing with nasality. Words like "begun","moon","sun","change"......etc. Actually I know some exercices to get it better but I didn't do those the day I recorded the song :-( . I'll try to record a better version.

ronws Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Like I was saying, I wasn't criticising it. It seemed more like a stylistic choice. Like when I finish "Stairway to Heaven" on a higher note than the original. It is a better stylistic choice for me, whether that comes through the mic, or not. I say hooray for stylistic choices. If you could sound exactly like Greg Lake, then you would be in his shadow. Viva la difference'! That is one of the key things you will find in some of the better advice on singing. First, choose songs that fit your voice. Second, arrange them musically and vocally to suit your voice. It is so easy to get caught up in trying to sound like the original artist. Especially if you are close in timbre. The temptation is over-powering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarawd Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Mvrasseli, I liked your version of the song, I 2nd your opinion about the nasality thing but that just requires a bit of attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gno Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Nice performance! Cool guitar. I like the dynamics in the song where it starts out softly, but you get louder and more intense on the higher phrase. You create a nice hauting mood on this song.

mvrasseli Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 hello again, a new version( actually a light version) with a new mic: http://www.4shared.com/audio/xgL_Wds2/in_the_court_of_the_crimson_ki.html I'm sorry the static sound and the dogs fighting background and the crappy guitar as well. late thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Well done and I think it had excellent sound quality. Your voice sounded solid and well supported. You sound good in this range. And don't worry about the dogs. I've had recordings where you could hear my dog scratching himself and jingling his collar that has two tags on it. In is an id tag with name and phone number and the other is his rabies vaccination tag (required by law). A canine tambourine, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
