[Iris] Inori ~You raise me up~ (Romeo x Juliet op.) Short ver.

[Iris Wisteria]

I've been wanting to do this song for some time...xD I don't think I hit the notes and i know that my emotions/energy is still lacking T^T. If I tried to fully reach those high notes I'd ending sounding as though I'm shrieking or my mic will get all squeeky >-< *curses cheap my mic*

:O IRIS! I love your voice, it's so soft and sweet sounding! *-*
Anywho~ Whatever happened to the "Iris Wisteria Vibratto" ? XD
Okay, seriously now ahah, I did feel some emotion coming from you in this song, but I felt that there could have been more, but you have already said that? haha. Your voice seems to be lacking power behind it, let it out and just siiing! Lena Park has such a strong voice so maybe try to strengthen your voice somehow, because it sounds a bit unstable and unsure. Your voice is seriously very unique and pretty, and I love listening to you sing *-* I cant wait to hear more from you! -steals your voice and flees-

p.s - I reread this and I don't think this helps in anyway XD

You are a great singer and I'm sure that you'll be able to take harsh critiques

I've always thought that this song would fit your voice very much because your voice is very soothing and soft. However, when I listened to this, I was a tad bit disappointed. The main reason for this is because you were flat in many places. In previous songs that you posted, this wasn't a problem so I was really surprised when I listened to it. I could almost say that there's one note in each line that's flat ^^" This is a freaking hard song, so I don't blame you for being pitchy but I would've thought that you could manage pitch better (Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying that this is bad or anything because it really isn't. It's just that as a good singer like yourself, I think you could've done better ) A lot more power is needed in the chourses (some bits sound as though you were very tired and sort of dozing? D: ). I'd describe this song as the 'yearning' type so perhaps opening your mouth even more and singing your heart out would help. It does feel that you were holding back a little throughout the whole song. The verses sound quite good (apart from the going-flat-problem) though more emotion would be nice.

Lena Park's version was amazing, I'm sure you'd agree with that. So perhaps doing a great cover of this would be hard >< And Lena Park's got an unexceptional amount of power in her voice too, making this sound sooo good.

Anyhow, I was being perfectly honest in this (perhaps a bit too harsh too, sorry! ><). But I've always liked your singing So I'd be happy if my critique helped you improve


P.S. When you mix, try to reduce the peaks instead of not letting you fully reach the high notes ;O;

ICD basically said everything I would have. The range in this song is wide -- Lena's range is big and diva-y and she sure likes to show it!, so I can understand having pitching problems especially with the lower notes. You sounded like you struggled to reach the higher notes, too, especially near the end.

happyheartmee: This does help!! >__< I'll work on strengthening my voice and I'll try to stop the shaking ^^. Thank you~

My vibrato's gone? o_O is that good or bad? ^^""


ICD: Wow....that's the longest critique I've ever had ^^". I agree, this is VERY hard to pull off...I guess I sounded like that coz I didn't dare to push myself to reach those notes without going either flat or screeching ;_; I'll work on all the things that you've pointed out ^^ Thank you very much~!

P.S bout the mixing....lol...I don't really know how to mix it...i just play around with the volume, that's all >-< ....I'm hopeless at these kinda things T^T


Priss: Yeah I did ^^"". Hehe...but I'll work on it and I'll try to do a better cover once I've improved! Thank you~!
