kinda short kinda pitchy with some work it could be good. also with some instruments ive never been one for accapella stuff
 
not quite hitting the right note your voice goes out of key
 
You're close but there are some places where you need to tighten up the melody. You picked a hard song to demo :D Keep going it can only get better..
 
Dude,
It's not very good.

Well that's not quite helpfull.
Of course it's not very good, I know I'm not good but I'm learning (or trying to, at least)
and it can only get better with constructive criticism :)
 
Ok you are struggling with pitch but try singing the song "flat" first without the added performance and just focus on learning the notes then when you have it down add the emotion and performance. At the mo it's got 90% performance and 10% note accuracy you need to try for at least 50/50.
If you have a keyboard or a guitar add the vocal line notes in (very simply) and try to stick to them
Keep trying, the voice is a muscle and needs to be worked to sound good and keep good pitch, few people are lucky enough to be born singers (me included)

Thanks a lot! I will definitely try this and you are very right about the things you said :)
 
I'm sorry I'm rude, but music is a talent. You can practise to improve the talent, but if you lack the talent to start with, what are you improving with practise?

I'm sure there are lots of things you do well, but singing isn't one of them.

Okay, thanks :)
 
I'm sorry I'm rude,
And so you should be. By saying "I'm sorry I'm rude", you give the impression that you're deliberately being rude instead of honestly stating your opinion.
music is a talent.
Well, it can be for some. But for alot of people, it's a passion and there have been lots of folk in music that are obviously 'naturally talented' and lots that aren't but really worked at it. Many bands over the last 50 years have included both classes.
You can practise to improve the talent, but if you lack the talent to start with, what are you improving with practise?
Again, a half truth. In music, interest is far more potent than talent. And it turns out that alot of people practice because of their initial interest and willingness to have a go at something. Some are a lost cause, I'll grant you that. But on the basis of one clip, you can't justifiably or sensibly predict the entire future vocal history of someone, especially when, as you point out, one can practice. Sometimes, practice actually develops an ability that wasn't obviously apparent.
I'm sure there are lots of things you do well, but singing isn't one of them.
Here's a reality that often isn't welcome ~ most human beings can sing, in the same way that most human beings can be good parents, can cook or can drive. Most humans can hold a tune. The main reason most human beings do not work on their voices is that there is no reason for them to do so. Unless they're in choirs or groups or seeking to be pros, there's little reason to actually put yourself through breathing excercizes, scales, voice and lip excercizes and hitting low and high notes. So most people don't. So when they sing they're unco~ordinated when it comes to various parts.
It's a bit like weight training. Most people have the capacity for rippling muscularly developed bodies. But most people have no need for that so they don't do weights. They'll lift heavy boxes and telegraph poles and shopping every so often, but that's as far as it goes.
So, Kingrvs, practice, practice, practice. If by this time next year you are at the same place and there's been little to no improvement, then perhaps, it's time to consider Washburn100's words. But until then, don't close the thread because you didn't like what you heard. You put the question out there. Take all comments on board but work at your voice until it's one you're cool with.
 
Thanks for looking into the thread and your reaction Grimtraveller.

I'll keep practicing and once I think I really nail a song, I'll let the forum hear of me again. Will probably take months hehe :)
Thanks again.
 
The vid came up as private so I couldn't listen ..... sorry.

And I must spread rep around before giving it to Grimm again.
