My first song post! (Hallelujah) (Newer version up! DEC. 28, 07)

[keyblader05]

ok, so this is my first song post. its hallelujah, by....well alot of people, but ill just say Rufus Wainright.

im only 14! so im obviously not as god as alot of other people on here. so cut me a little slack? please? i started on like the third verse, because i messed up on the first two my voice was really dry if you cant tell. i was just bored and decided to sing a song XD (the ending is bad. had to keep taking deep breaths throughout the song. agh!)

and im not a really religouse freak or anything. i just like the beat and stuff of the song XD just saying.

i will accept all critiques!

Wow. I love the way you sound! With some more practice and maybe some excercises to increase your lung capacity, I think you could be amazing!

I hope your voice stays similar to that. You're young, so it's probably still changing, but hopefully it'll just continue to get better.

Keep it up. I hope to hear more from you.

EDIT: If you could maybe post a download link, that'd rock. I love listening to it. :P

EDIT AGAIN: Heh. Never mind. I got it because I rock at the internet. XP

Oh, and I forgot to say, Rufus Wainwright's pretty cool. A friend of mine turned me on to him a few months back.

I think that your clip sounds good for your age.

Your attitude toward posting, however, betrays a heavy amount of insecurity and fear that people will rip the crap out of you. Never start an introduction with excuses, na. It makes people think that your clip will suck, or even worse-- it'll make them not listen to it.

I think your voice has potential, but it does sound like you're holding back a little bit-- maybe vocally, maybe emotionally. I'm not 100% sure. But it sounds pretty good for a boredom clip. <3

thanks shuffle! glad you liked ^^ and im taking chior and will take many more singing classes throught school, so i hope i will get betta! thanks again!

and thank you sou and yeah, i was kinda worried, because i hate getting bashed. but i know everyone here is nice and honest. so ill be extra confadant next time! (but not to much XD) and i shall try harder the next time i do a song post! not out of boredom!

[Scheris]

[Kizzy]

so im obviously not as god as alot of other people on here. so cut me a little slack? please?

Shut up xDDD You sing good. Next time don't sing out of boredom but because you really want to sing something okay? xD
You had a little trouble with the low notes but that's okay.. xD you're only 14 .. so I guess.. keep training your voice because.. i think that when you get a little older your voice might drop like... very low. or no?
ah well I enjoyed listening to it!! XD sing more huh? ^^'


you were also the one who sang a whole new world with pereru right? thought that was so cute..

[sakura-shino]

AW ... great song =w= good rendition, too! <3

You've got a very sweet voice for a male, it's nice. You are stressing your voice in your throat too much- which still lets the voice sound nice, but it's very harmful for your voice. You should work on getting support from your diaphragm- the muscle that moves your lungs- and not your throat if you're going to reach for those higher notes in chest voice.
Do you know anything about deep breathing or the anatomy of singing? That would be a great place to start if you're interested in improving (your singing is great now, with imrovement it could be amazing).
If you'd like to try to reach the higher notes without havning them come out loud, try using head voice- it's that light, whispy voice you get when you talk in falsetto (or "imitate a girl" hah... it's called head voice because it resonates in your head...ahahaaaa...yeah...and it only uses the very inner folds of the vocal chords to make noise). It will take quite a while for head voice to develop for some people- at least, it did for me. :/;;;
Also- never sing while dried out D: is also bad for voice (your larynx is a delicate organ- if one is serious about singing one mustn't scream or yell, whisper, cough haphazardly, cheer, etc.) drink water. Always. All the time. It's teh best advice anyone will ever give you- it's good for your health too, seeing how it washes toxins from your body. You can get over a cold in half the time if you're drinking 8 10 Oz glasses of water a day (yep. 10 Oz with a cold- not 8 Oz).

Uhm...if you have any questions, just pm me or something... XD;;
Good job, though! (I can never resist listening to renditions of Hallelujah)

[keyblader05]

i think that when you get a little older your voice might drop like... very low. or no?
