    Um, this is my newest solo recording, so I figured I should probably share it XD! People always tell me I sound good singing rock songs, so why not? Besides, I love this song, and it was totally stuck in my head, and what better way than to get rid of it by singing it?

    Weirdly enough, I sound pretty high pitched in this - I think I strained too much maybe!? I was quite ill when I recorded this, so excuse the weak beginning, tiny bit of pitchy-ness on the lower notes, and the strain at the end x__x;;.

    Um, Enjoy XD!? Concrit is always welcome, but please take into account I was sick when I sang this 8D.

    o: Wow, a cover on Paper Moon! I plan to do my own cover of it soon o:

    Anyways, you're looking for a critique, yes? I will try. I haven't given out a song critique before, XD;

    Mixing: It seemed sort of muffled through my headset, but maybe that's just me. I think the effect on the bridge of a bit overdone, as sometimes it was hard to hear the words.

    Singing: Wow, you have a pretty voice. I did notice that your voice got stronger in the middle of the song. The beginning was weak as you mentioned. I was impressed, though, because in some of the lines, you sounded just like the original artist.. Like, in "Dareni mo..."

    In some places, your vibrato was a bit weak, but you have a nice vibrato. You have good emotion, too. o: I found myself singing along to it XD;;;

    Looking back, this really isn't a critique, but XDDD Now you know it wasn't bad! In fact, it was good!

    @Akaryuuki: Thanks for the critique <3! The muffledness is mostly because of the natural reverb of my microphone, I think. The chorus gets even more muffly because I had to pull my microphone back in order to not max out. Yeah, I think I overdid the extra reverb in the bridge as well, oops XD. Doesn't help that YT and SC downgrade quality even more!! And yeah, my vibrato control was all over the place because I wasn't feeling well...though it's always all over the place, really. I've been working on it!

    Thank you for listening to it XD! I'm glad you enjoyed it X3! Looking forward to hearing you cover this too <3

    didn't sound muffled through my earphones although during the chorus it sounds like there's extra reverb.

    sometimes your vibrato goes all over the place ^^; and the beginning doesn't start off as strongly as you get during the middle of the song. <3
    ..hm don't have much else to say XD

    very pleasant voice <3333333333

    @Yinzhao: Mmm yeah D:! It's because of the natural reverb of my microphone, which is heavier during the chorus because I had to pull it farther so as to not max out :/. See- even expensive ones sometimes hate you D:! I'm still getting the hang of using mine, but for most part it's mostly me not being able to control how loud I get XD;;.

    I have TERRIBLE vibrato control omg - I'm usually okay when I sing classical arias and the likes, but when it comes to pop/rock songs it's just like, CHEST VOICE VIBRATO DOESN'T LIKE YOU, NYAH NYAH~* oaihldsgkasd D:! Also yeah, I'm almost always really dull at the beginning - I find it really hard to find the right energy right when I start off, but I almost always pick up after the first chorus or something xD;;. I think I should like, record everything, and then go back and re-record the first verse at the end so I don't sound so bored at the beginning LOL!

    aoihdsglkasdg Thank youu <333!

    XD XD
    ( I have no clue what chest voice or head voice is anyway - people tried to explain to me, but music theory won't go in with me XDD... music practice neither, btw. XD)

    and i have it too that in the beginning i always sound WEIRD, even though I DO record everything, then redo the beginning -_-;;;;

    ... and ..my mic is also sort of.. autoreverb -_-;;; like WHYYY is that. haha.

    classical aria's lol. I have no clue what an aria is. but i bet it's way different from jpop or rock XDDDDDD

    Hahaha! The different voices are really hard to explain to people who don't understand and don't study music XDD! I've just been studying music my whole life basically, so yeah XD XD! Baaasically chest voice is your speaking voice, and head voice is that really light kind of airy voice which you sometimes get if you sing really high notes 8D.

    Beginnings of songs just suck I think, it must be 8(!

    Haha! Mine's a studio condenser microphone, so because of that it picks up the natural vibrations/reverb from the room, that's why XD.

    UM. An aria is a short opera song, baaasically 8D.
