i dont like stone sour at all, but at least ur singing some rock n roll.

anyway, not a bad attempt. u just need to sing more. in a couple months ull be a rockstar

Thanks and any ideas on songs will be good too. Im not used to singing other people songs, i write my own and most people tell me i sound good when i sing mine but not so much when i try others. I'm trying to change that. Not shur what songs i should start with thou. Just got Brett manning's lessons that is helping me and a tuner(to know what note im at) to help me with range. Hope fully that will help.

IMO, it's good to sing stuff other than your own. With your own music, people tend to stay in their comfort zones. I'm not saying don't do your own thing, but also pick songs that you find challenging and get you out of the comfort zone.

Sounds good man, I dig the sound of your voice. As far as that recording I just think you might need to know it better. It's not flowing like it should, maybe even record to a click or something so you can get the phrasing right. You can do your own thing with the phrasing, but it should be in time. Other than that you're pitchy in a couple places but it seems to be more lack of confidence in the song than anything else. Keep practicing and stay in time and I think it will sound great.
