Into The Pit by Halford accapella

Sounds really nice! Just one point that almost everyone seems to have problems with (me included): the ee-sounds.
You either under-do it (and it sounds more like an a-sound like 0:47 "malfeasance") or you use a large amount of distortion to compensate it. Gritting it up is not bad per se! Your "duty" at 0:57 is a great example of how it's used propely, but it's soo easy to make it sound to gritty (I do that as well when the melody is too low for me) like your "Into" [the pit].

The trick is to grin like a madman (http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/107/e/f/biker_grin_mask_by_skinz_n_hydez-d6214pf.jpg) and push the resonance forward to the palate. It will probably take some time getting used to because the "distance" from the other vowel placements (which are back in the pharynx) is so big, but it works fine and dandy to me.

Thanx for listening Enander and Gsoul82! Enander: Great tip there concerning "ee"s"! I will try to think about that. Regarding the word "malfeasance" it just happened that i  misinterpetred the pronounciation. I always try to sound as close as possible to the artist and the pronunciation the  artist is using. I just mimick and hope it sounds good.
