Members DukeOfBoom Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 anyway, what's your question? They all seem find to me. I would have preferred Bill Wither's version rather than Eva Caddisidy, but you emoted well enough without going all sappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members singergirl246 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm making a demo and I was wanting to know if any one had any suggestions to help me fine tone my voice before I go. Like to let me know if there's things I need to work on before I get it recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DukeOfBoom Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 You also need to do more Bill Withers. I don't think there's a better Bill song than Use Me [video=youtube;g3hBYTkI-sE] Make sure you change the pronouns from "him" to "her," and, girl, that would be a sexy song.

Members DukeOfBoom Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 You should also listen to my awesome song http://picosong.com/cbN/ Beware though, it might be a little too much for little-girl ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rodclement Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 Poor girl...gets the duke on her first post... :-) You are pretty good, better with the guitar than solo, you will be fine. What are you doing a demo for?The thing I would tell you is to go in knowing your material in and out so you don't spend time and money. Good luck!

Members grace_slick Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 This is gonna come out as sounding rude, and I’ve not listened to your clip yet as I’m having computer issues, but…why would someone commit to making a demo…before they even were that sure of how they sounded / if they sound alright? You know? Shouldn’t someone come here first and THEN make a demo at some point down the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members staticsound Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 well, watch out for Vardon and Rodney, Staticsound, and especially Mikey. Chester and I will protect you from them.

Members YeahDoIt Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm listening to "My Emotion." I think you sing well. I'm assuming the chords at 8 seconds and 1:20 are tiny mistakes, that's OK but if they aren't mistakes then those chords sound odd to me. At 1:53, 3:05, 3:16 something happens, it's those high notes. I would record the song over and over again to prepare for the recording session. Can you record with a metronome? An engineer might use a click track to synchronize additional tracks. You might ask the recording engineer how to prepare for your recording session. Do you have a vision of "My Emotion" with layered vocals, backup and harmony vocals? Can you make a home recording of your vision to send to the recording engineer and communicate your concept of the song? I suspect that the more you work out in advance, the fewer problems you have later in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know? Shouldn’t someone come here first and THEN make a demo at some point down the track? Because I've been here before, on the songwriting forum. I've won many talent shows and even got 3rd place in a song writers competition in Nashville. I've been invited to sing at different places. It's not a matter of if I can sing, I know I can it's what I need to tweak in the next few weeks so I can get the best sound possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!I was just going to do a simple demo of three of my original songs because I'm going to Nashville for a couple of weeks this summer. I'm going to be playing at open mic nights and taking my demo around to places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeyParent Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 well, watch out for Vardon and Rodney, Staticsound, and especially Mikey. Chester and I will protect you from them. Don't worry. We got your back. Yes, cause I am so always hitting on all the girls that come into this forum. On an unrelated note: Ever notice how some people accuse others of things they are themselves guilty of? I think Hannah can figure out who the creepers are. Hint: they are always the first to ask your age ;-) Anyways back OT: Hannah I thought you sounded pretty good. Watch some of your high notes, you getting dangerously close to flattening out in a couple places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DukeOfBoom Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 I think Hannah can figure out who the creepers are. Hint: they are always the first to ask your age ;-) I was merely asking her age to gauge her level of maturity and preparedness to go into the recording session. They can be stressful for teenagers who are still going thru all that teenage stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members singergirl246 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2011 I actually won to recording time from a Nashville song writing competition I entered in, I've already worked with a band for backing as well. I just needed advice on my voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
