Guns 'N Roses - Don't Cry (Take 2)

[richardavila13]

I've decided to recover "Don't Cry" yet again. On my previous cover it was brought to my attention my technique was very faulty. I decided to resing the sing, this time focusing more on tone than the actually words. Please give me some feedback on this 2nd take. I'm just starting to sing and could use all the help I can get!

Here's the link for y'all:

Bro this is better. Even alot better. Im preety sure with the right vocal coach or a programm you will have amazing results.

Im begginer myself so it wouldnt be fair to give you technical advice. Im sure alot of people will help you around here.

Just be persistent. If i really love singing you will make it.

Thanks so much!

I have to agree! I've tried looking into singing, but with all the information out there, it is hard to distinguish what is marketing junk and what's actually true. I've tried looking into "The Four Pillars of Singing," but I do not have the $198. So for now until I can save up Pillar, I'll try to keep at it

Thank you Elvis!

I agree with Elvis, this is much better than the previous take. More like singing and not speaking. But i got a feeling that you can do better, it´s like you are holding back your voice. Feel the song and just let it go.. don´t be so clinic and put some passion in it   hope you understand, english is not my mother language

Damn dude that's hard work right there!

I think I'll have the money in few months as well. I don't plan on giving up, I'll push forward.

I'm going to reply to this one since you made an updated topic. It's good that you joined a choir. That's going to give you a commitment to keep singing. What's really going to help you to sing beautifully is daily practice. As I was starting out, I was told one thing that really stuck with me. Voice majors in college are always praticing. When they wake up, they're humming. When they're in the shower, they're singing scales. When they're walking down the street, more scales. They want the best voices they can have, and so they're always practicing so that they will attain that. Now, you shouldn't be doing that much at the start. Your voice will be fatigued in less than an hour of continuous practice, and once you get that fatigued feeling, it's best to stop for the day. Also, if something hurts or feels uncomfortable, stop it immediately. Get in that mindset though. Practice with a sense of purpose. You're going to sing beautifully one day if you continue to practice.

 

Now, like I said, it doesn't have to be one block or practice at one point in the day (example, practicing for a half hour from 8:30 at night to 9:00 at night). It can be done throughout the day. The point is to commit to getting the practice in.

I listened to both, this is a lot better and can be a lot better if you correct some easy things like the style you sing. For the next thing i say i am not quite sure but thats what i would do, try to avoid too much effects and show offs and sing right at the note like stacato, in a simple way, dont slide, you can slide as much you want later

 

There are so many good free videos out there that i dont believe you or anyone needs a voice training program BUT you have to filter out the information and that will take more time than lessons or a program.

 

Most usefull advice is what GSoul82 said, sing, sing, sing! Listen, immitate, record, get feedback, its free and will get you a long way!

Yes, and you can look forward to more taxes being taken out, as well.
