Only Hope

[rdfreak]

Be prepared to hurt the ears! Lol (I do want feedback from the musicians on here; good, bad, happy, sad; get to it! let's go! :)
I love singing, and I want to do more but I can't put my stuff out there if I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I did my best to feel the emotion, sing from the diaphram, etc etc. no mucking around; serious stuff now! :)
I think this suits my voice, (except for the high notes where I'm out of practice so mixed in a bit of reverb to make it sound a tad listenable :)
actually I am not kidding when I say, i practiced today about 20 times, and this wasn't my best effort. I wished I'd kept my previous attempt; it was better; even the high notes *cringe* I use to be able to sing high; I don't know what's happened; I blame my horrid reflux!

You're my Only Hope

Hey love,
As promised, here is my feedback.

Well done: I know singing that song wasn't an easy thing to do considering its sentiment. You do have a sweet quality in your voice if you just relax about it. It is obvious that you tried to make us understand every word and I can which is excellent. In this recording I felt like you were trying to get every pitch to stabalise rather than really sink in to the emotion of the song. I think it would be better a touch higher so you weren't feeling right at the bottom of your range for the lower notes. I feel that the reason you had trouble with the high phrase was tension in your neck and feeling worried about what was going to happen. I hate that! If you can imagine your voice like a golden substance that is pouring out of you to reach others, that your feet are really grounded to the earth and your body is still and relaxed, that might help.

Again, well done, and I like the choice of song too!

Love.

thanks for the feedback and for your compliments. I personally hate my singing voice, and actually feel it was a tad better when I was younger. and yep you're right; I am so self-conscious about the higher notes, that I think that let's me down.As I will write in my next entry, i wrote to the teacher that rantingJules put me on to in her comment, and may hopefully do some training again.
Love me :)
