Members MrClumzy Posted July 30, 2018 Members Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hello there! It's been quite a while since I've posted on here. It's been a couple of years, so I hope I improved a bit. Just recorded a little something just for fun, and wanted to see if I could get some feedback on it! Wondering what you guys think of my voice, as well as what I could do to improve. Recorded this pretty late at night, so held back a little so I didn't wake up the neighbors haha. Ignore the strange ending. https://soundcloud.com/user-279968706/mmmm2/s-xMsSV Thank you!

Members CosmicDolphin Posted July 30, 2018 Members Share Posted July 30, 2018 Very hard to judge..your guitar sounds out of tune and louder than your voice and masking it in places Some parts sound like they could be quite nice then other parts sound off key so it's a bit of a mixed bag but I can't really hear it well enough to be definite What to improve..tune the guitar...have your mouth closer to the mic so we can hear it above the guitar more clearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you heard so far, is my voice itself bearable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators davie Posted August 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2018 Sounds good. Definitely potential. Who are your vocal influences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrClumzy Posted August 6, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2018 Sounds good. Definitely potential. Who are your vocal influences? Hey Davie, I was hoping you would reply! You really helped me out a lot in the past. The artists who inspire me are Daniel Caesar, Bruno Major, and Jeremy Passion. What do you think I could do to improve?

The artists who inspire me are Daniel Caesar, Bruno Major, and Jeremy Passion. What do you think I could do to improve? Interesting, I'm not familiar with those artists. Your vocals somewhat remind me of Sam Smith in some spots. I think it sounds pretty good right now. Maybe the parts where it reaches higher ("coffee, morning") could use a more crisp attack and smoother legato line. And maybe diction could be a tad clearer. Are you currently using any vocal method or program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use any singing programs, just some vocals scales in my car on my way to work sometimes haha. Anything you would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main method I recommend is the Swedish-Italian Method, which is what I've used to train my voice over the years. It's probably the healthiest method of singing you can find. Feel free to message me if you're interested in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kickingtone Posted August 12, 2018 Members Share Posted August 12, 2018 ^Not my preferred genre, so difficult to comment on style. Pitch and projection, good, imo. Listen very carefully between phrases. Hearing the inhale is fine, but the sound of your mouth opening (or a lip smack sound) is very intrusive. I would aim to eliminate it. Subconsciously, it can become a timing habit, as you use it as a timing click to cue you into the next phrase. So, it may not be as easy to remove as you think. It may leave you with an uneasy sense that something is missing (if so, it is likely to be that timing device!), which can then lead to hesitation and other problems. So, at least you will know where to look if eliminating the sound feels strange at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CosmicDolphin Posted August 12, 2018 Members Share Posted August 12, 2018 Sounds like you have a nice voice in there that will get better with work obviously. KT must be listening on headphones as no lip smack was apparent on normal studio monitors at sensible volume so I wouldn't pay much attention. You can always edit them out in a DAW, most singers make odd little noises..some are worth keeping ..I recorded a drummer once who made really strange groaning type noises a bit like animal out the Muppets. We just kept it in..if you listen out for it you know it's there but nobody else noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrClumzy Posted August 13, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hey Kickingtone and Cosmic Dolphin, thank you for your feedback! I'll try to reduce and listen for any strange noises I make in the future haha. I really don't know much about the digital side of recording music such as editing or enhancements. If you guys have any tips and pointers for me I would love to hear them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
