Here's an improv.... feedback please :)

Here's an acoustic one, 1 take... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A--mCm-Hkc

My baby likes the song, so that's a good thing. LOL Still very nasal though, hopefully I can fix my issues with time and practice. Also I found out my cheap crappy headphones (from the dollar store) aren't reproducing the sound correctly, lots and lots of bass and they distort. Going to see about getting a good pair this week.

Just a beginnersopinion, I don't have much theorethical bagage at this moment. But, take it for what it's worth.

I really like it actually. It's really enjoyable. Sounds like you have a very good understanding of what you're capable of (at this moment?).

So yeah, keep it up!

Thanks for the reply and the encouragement.

I've been taking some online lessons and practicing... Going to see if I can "improve" on my singing this weekend with a new recording of these two songs :D I guess the learning can be fun.

I've been following some of your posts and I was expecting something worthy of "the worst of American idol" but, quite frankly, I was surprised. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You CAN sing. I think we all tend, when we first listen to ourselves, to really hate what we hear and say "do I really sound like that?" It's just another kind of mirror. After a while you accept that is really you and start to work and improve what you have. I honestly remember way back when, when Bob Dylan's first album came out, listening to him for only 10 minutes at a time until I could get used to his voice.

And I might not be the best one to ask but I think voice coaches usually like you to project into your nasal cavity for the resonance it provides. Keep working on it. After a while I think you'll appreciate and like what you bring to the mic.

Thanks Neil, that means a lot. Yeah I am highly critical when I listen to music (I have a very sensitive ear for this). I'm worse when I'm listening to my own creations or covers. I know I'll never be a Freddy Mercury lol But I do want to sort of bring my best to the table when I share my hobby with friends, family and peers :)

Keep on trucking is the message though, thanks again!

I listened to both songs and your voice sounds fine. Your singing is on pitch. However, I don't think either of these is a good demonstration of what you can do. Both songs are repetitive and the singing is within a narrow range. I don't mean to discourage you at all. Just saying that there's not much to critique here.

I hear ya!

I'm going to do some real stuff like Coldplay and such... :D

This weekend I practiced 10,000 reasons, which I feel has some range - at least it's out of my comfort range. :D I tried recording it but I kept getting this interference, I'll have to see what that is all about. I'm still kind of flat on some parts (from what I hear)... I'll upload and share it as soon as I can.

Cheers
