Members evanwesting Posted May 14, 2010 Members Share Posted May 14, 2010 You folks probably get this a lot- newbs who come by and post something they record despite having zero training/experience- but I know I'm terrible. I'm a guy, and I've taught myself the words (I'd never call it teaching myself to sing, since I haven't) to several songs by performers I enjoy. The problem? They're all women who really work their vocal chords- Neko Case, Feist, Anne Vriend, Kate Voegele- and I enjoy emulating the sounds they make.

Members Jersey Jack Posted May 14, 2010 Members Share Posted May 14, 2010 I suggest that you post the file on a site that allows streaming. I personally have a no-download policy (for reasons of security and convenience), and I'm pretty sure that many members are reluctant to download a file.

Members evanwesting Posted May 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2010 That's a solid concern. I'm sorry I never of that. What site would you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wayslow Posted May 15, 2010 Members Share Posted May 15, 2010 I use soundclick.com Looks like a lot of other folks here do, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YeahDoIt Posted May 15, 2010 Members Share Posted May 15, 2010 I use box.net. I think that you have a pleasant voice. I think that you sound a little tired and close to but not always in key. Vocal training might improve pitch, breathing and delivery (energy). You might watch some vocal lesson videos on You Tube, continue making recordings and check for improvement. If your throat hurts or your voice feels rough the next day then you might be hurting yourself. I gradually warmup my voice for about a hour in the morning, then work on songs and duplicating other voices. I can't just push my voice without singing exercises first; my throat does not move the way that I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
