TMV World Legacy Member Alan Tran Posted July 11, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hi everyone! For me music has been on and off, and I feel the urge to reignite that passion. I'm a guitar player and thought I'd try my hand at singing. I'm keen to hear some advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Robert Lunte Posted July 15, 2015 Administrator Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi Alan...I like your singing... for a moment it reminded me of a "Tuck & Patty" groove... you may know know who that is, check them out.Did you write this song? If you wrote this song I have to compliment you... it is really pretty and well written.Your singing is good... you have some groove... very pretty... What to do to make this better?- Alan tighten up the cues, rhythm... the onsets... how you start and stop on the song.... you should work to feel the synchopated 8th / up beat more, especially on a song like this. - Get your voice to resonate more forward and upward... "edge" your voice more to the hard palette... it is a bit blunted... I think it could be brighter....- At 1:04... this is pitchy... you need to tune this up a bit...Do it again with these changes and lets hear it...Hope this helps.

TMV World Legacy Member Alan Tran Posted July 15, 2015 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks for your reply Robert! I really appreciate you bringing your expertise and advice to this forum. Unfortunately no, this song isn't an original (I wish though). Here's the original singer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4GJVOMjCC4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8aVkB9FhIk and here's what I'm basing my short cover off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzGigJivHfU . Also I'm not too polished on theory since I've learnt from watching and listening, so I don't really understand your advice, but a google search won't hurt me though!

TMV World Legacy Member Alan Tran Posted July 15, 2015 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have no clue what 'syncopated 8th up beats' are, nor do I understand the physiology behind singing, so I'm not too sure how to use my 'hard palette'. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit rude, I literally have 0 musical knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'm sounding a bit rude, I literally have 0 musical knowledge. Your not being rude by saying that? But my response can only be, ... study and train. Take some lessons from a GOOD voice coach. Or purchase a training product, WITH A BOOK so you can read about how the voice works and a learn a little bit about vocal technique.
