Lucca Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nice tone! Nothing that is really wrong here, just a few small things: Your general tone seems to be a bit closed at times, a Eddie Vedder-kind of singing that needs a little more energy and support if you want to do it like that cause like this it sometimes seems like you are not reaching the notes fully. For example you sing something like "daag" for "dark" and dont open the vowel fully. You could play around with opening it more and with that the notes could come even easier. Try to make your tongue flatter because for me that closed sound often comes when my tongue is blocking my air path. As for the bridge where Ed does his wolf-howling-thing if you want to reach the note better and move closer to Ed´s sound then you are letting to much air escape through your vocals folds. He as a fuller sound that is not so falsetto-ish. He is singing a tight "uh" there. And that is all, nice rendition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerKu Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It sounds great. Even sounded better when I turned my head sideways. Hahaha. Trick of the mind. You need exposure way more than you need technical help. Is that a wife or someone singing along very quietly? It has a lot of character. I gathered it wasn't the dog cause I watched the dog's lips.

Marcus Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I think it sounds great. Good tone, suits the song. What I would like to see is you knowing the song, and facing the camera in a performance instead of facing away from it - when you have another go at recording it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
