TMV World Legacy Member aravindmadis Posted August 10, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hi Folks.. I got inspiration from some good feedback last week on a Lou Gramm cover that I did. So I tried to do one more cover of a Foreigner song!!! This recording is a single take so this is pretty close to how I think I would sound live.. Actually I was trying to a test run, and the music was on louder than I would like.. But I liked what I heard so I let it be without making any edits(except EQ, Reverb and Compression) My intention here was not to do a pitch perfect recording, which I feel I can definitely do, but I was a little hard pressed for time today to make multiple takes.. I really worked hard over the last week to fix my shallow breath problem and I am beginning to see what folks here have been saying about making a difference.. I am able to get much more effortless high notes and do not run out of breath nearly as much..It takes a lot more concentration and I am still not able to get this into my muscle memory Please see if you can spot something.. As always, any feedback however critical is much appreciated.. https://soundcloud.com/aravind-madhavan/i-have-been-waiting-mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member wabba_treads Posted August 10, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 10, 2014 Oh man, it seems the track isn't working. It says it might be private or broken. Sometimes I don't realize that after I upload the track in set to private because I'm logged in Looking forward to listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted August 12, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 12, 2014 Really good effort and I applaud the daring to do this song. Vowels. You've already got a good ee. Use that for "waiting." Make it w - ee t ee - ng. And with the uh sound, I would stay away from that one, just now. For words like "love", even the ah would be the technically corrrect vowel, I got away from my crashing uh sound by going to oo. So that it is l - oo - v. You do well with the closed vowels. Let them work for you, instead. And that was just a few wobbly spots that I heard. Your articulation is good and so is your timing and emotion. I really liked what you did, here.

TMV World Legacy Member aravindmadis Posted August 13, 2014 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks Ron.. Always easy to attempt this at home .. LOu's style of singing has such little margin for error with a lot of the notes in the passagio, so they are very tough I would think to sing live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted August 18, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 18, 2014 Sounded pretty good to me. The main thing I noticed is in words with the "I" sound as in eye. Dipthong "Ah-EE" In this song I think that if you draw out the Ah sound and just touch on the EE at the end of the vowel(or just use Ah) it would sound better. For a word like Alive it would sound more like A-L-ah-v. I have the same problem. :P "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
