Sexy Beast Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I usually stick to the more up beat stuff and shy away from the ballads... But today I decided to try and sing this one hope it's not too bad haha https://app.box.com/s/5jf9ddki0q7wtrli64gh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerKu Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Tone is good. Range is good. Pitch is pretty good, although some of the runs were really frenzied, certainly faster than I could do accurately. Clapping/slapping/whatever sounds really weird, cause it's so sparse and I was listening to the vocal kind of in it's own meter. The clapping effect exaggerates the changes in time, I think. So maybe make sure you clap at regular intervals. 1,2, Clap, 4, (faster) or (1, clap, 2 clap) every time? For my tastes, I'd tone down the runs a bit on this type of tune. Like you said, it's a bit of a ballad, you may be more accustomed to the faster moving tunes and still applying a bit of extra movement. That said, if it works for you, I'm not one to say you shouldn't either. You're a good singer, I suspect a little more restraint might connect with ears a bit on these types of tunes. One thing that might be cool is just grab a metronome. You sing pretty well acapella. I'm a drummer so I've got pretty good meter when I set my mind to it, but I've also got health problems that can make meter a bit more difficult as sometimes vocal rest desirable. If I set up a metronome it forces me to sing on the meter no matter what. You could clap to it as well and learn to syncopate your movements. The claps, snapping, slapping, whatever, just the jive, could really get us swinging, it's a cool idea, and I like the spur of the moment passion that could bring them out. So keep singing, keep posting man. Good voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sing a little bit out of tune... the opening note "born" for instance... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't sing this frantically even with your tuning and suspect my pitch would suffer, I think. So it was meant honestly and not sugar coating. Didn't sound 100 percent spot on, but I figured better than I can do given the same material, so 'pretty good' was like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
