Hi everyone.

In this video I'm singing "Time to say Goodbye" by Sarah Brightman.
I love the song and had to work awhile to get to hold that final note that long.

I tried out using a green screen in this video.
Instead of traveling to so many locations like in my last music video I could bring the locations to me. :D

 
One of my very favorites songs - and one of your best performances. That green screen is pretty cool too - nice work all around!
 
You have been taught well... That being said, I am a little weirded out by the dress and the green screen situation. You are a vocalist, I give you that, not much of an artist yet. You are young and it seems as though you put in a lot of work. Parents must of put some money into you... Good luck with everything.
 
Unfortunately Usher hasn't discovered her yet.....heavy emphasis on yet.... ;-)

Thanks for the complements. The green screen was a little odd to learn but we had fun with this being our first one. We found the whole package (screen, stand, lights, clips) online for only $160. Cheaper than gas to film on location though. :D

Thanks. My voice coach is the coach for contestants on X factor. He's a great guy.
Hey, I love that dress. I think Sarah Brightman would love it too. Just sayin.
My parents are very supportive with there time but I have to raise the money for all my video projects. :D

Usher would be cool but I hope David Foster keeps an eye out. :D
Thanks for the vote of confidence Ido!
 
Elana, I have been a supporter of your efforts almost as long as you have been a member of HR- and I think it's actually time to be frank. You have a wonderful voice, and I applaud your efforts. Even better that your parents insist on you financing your own work- an appreciation of what things actually cost and a good work ethic are as important as talent and skill.

But I think it's time you upped your game. What I have seen of your stuff appears to be little more than glorified karaoke. IMO, too much processed electronic backing music- with the addition of the green screen, I think you are going in the wrong direction. I challenge you to stretch yourself in the direction of losing the over-processed tracks, and put together some "real" musicians to back you on your next project. You can expect it to be a LOT more work, and it may get frustrating at times, but if you stay with it, I think it might transform your music, and perhaps propel you to the next level.

I live in the Atlanta area- if I can lend whatever talent and/or contacts I have to your efforts, PM me if you wish.
 
Although it would be cool, I don't think live music is going to improve her singing. Just add a big layer of complexity. Expensive to hire "decent" session musicians. She's played a few on the piano that turned out okay...
 
Well done.

It's nice to see a younger generation appreciating fine music. (You know, other than Beiber, Gaga, etc. :D)

I haven't seen any in my generation yet :(

With regards to what stevieb said, there are many great musicians on this forum. Ask around. See if anyone would like to collaborate.

I do have a collab with a friend of mine in Germany coming up. It is going to be real cool. A song you know but like you have never heard it before. Unfortunately that project is 2 projects out. I've got a Beethoven piece coming out and then that one.

We've got 6 projects scheduled for videos plus the song writers of my original "Beautiful Story" are writing me an album and when they send me the tracks I squeeze in time to record my singing to them. I've been sent 2 songs already but I've made some changes to them so they aren't complete yet. I'll have to ask dad about the PM...hope you understand with me being 13 and all. That's definitely a cool offer.
 
Hi everybody. I was wondering if some of you could please HELP.

I am involved in an internet contest at ZOBNOT.com and I am in second place out of 215 talented people. I’m trying to win the money for a non-profit organization called “Fun Time Gym”. They get kids with mental and physical disabilities into gymnastics and martial arts to help them build body awareness skills and self-confidence.

If you could take 2 minutes to register as a “FAN” and 1 minute a day to vote for me, Elena House, I'm trying to get first place.
You can log in each day, click on my picture and then click the "vote" button 10 times everyday.
If you have the time I would greatly appreciate the help. :D

Thank you.
Elena House
 
Cool vid! Wish I had a green screen to fool around with! Beautiful singing as always!
 
Of course I understand about the PM- the reason I suggested you PM me, instead of my going ahead and PM'ing you, is because I assumed/expected you would check with your parents, first.

My adult son, David, owns and operates a recording and rehearsal studio in New Orleans- studio101NOLA.com If you need studio time and your folks are willing to make a trip there (lots close than Germany!) contact him directly through his website.
 
So beautiful and so talented, this was lovely, thank you. I saw Sara Brightman do this live in 1999 with Bocelli... And we had good seats :-) It was awesome. You were just being born :-)
 
Thanks for all the great comments everybody.
I just uploaded this piano video of me playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
It's my favorite piano piece.
Hope you enjoy. :)

 
Ahh. A classic. Well done!

If you ever become skilled enough, I have a song that I would like to see you play!

Chopin's Ballad no.1 op. 23 in g minor.

My favorite piano piece of all time. Takes years of practice though! Just keep continuing with the piano! :)
 
I posted this on my facebook page, where I haven't logged in for over a month because of some issues with some FB friends... I was "in and out." But I posted the link, so it should get some buzz from my "friends" who have been wondering where I've been :-)
