Answer 1

Well, I'm no expert but I'll tell you what I think. First of all, don't consider me as mean, cause I'm just giving you what I think. Sorry If I offend you.

1. Even if this song is a "Soft" song it needs to be a LITTLE more firm and not so wavery.

2. The high notes are hard for you. I can hear you straining and it can be hard. -I have tough times singing high notes too..- I suggest you avoid the high pitch songs for now, wait till your voice is more... Uh... Developed?

3. When you start singing a word sometimes, there is this uh sound... Like when you say it the sudden rush of air makes a sound on the mike? Yeah, you might want to smooth that a little.

I hear some great things in your voice! First, you have wonderful pitch. You didn't stay in tune the entire song but that's hard to do a capella. Your voice changes so much from now until 21, keep singing and you will improve. My Suggestions: Sing scales every day. Practice with a piano and learn to match the pitches. Use sounds like Ahhh, Eeee, A, O, oooo. Play with the tone by shaping your mouth in different ways. Find all of the ways to sing Ahhh and listen to the differences. Learn breathing teqniques. You need to learn to relax your throat (which it sounds like you do very well) and let your breath support the note from your diaphragm. Your voice sounds a little weak and getting some power behind your notes is just a matter of learning to breathe properly. Just keep playing with the volume and tone but don't strain your throat. Let the air pass over the vocal chords. Join chorus at school. Music teachers are great resources for teaching you the proper way to sing. They can also reccomend vocal teachers. Private lessons is always a huge boost. You'll learn lots. Download some karaoke tracks to sing with (try limewire) It's important to know how to stay on pitch with music behind you. Don't try to imitate the original artist, just sing it in your own voice. Christmas songs are GREAT practice. Lastly, keep singing! Practice makes perfect. The more you sing the more you'll understand your voice and the better you'll get. Find a friend that likes to sing as well and learn how to harmonize together. Keep recording your voice to check your progress. Most of all, have fun! Good luck :)

Aside from the horrible audio qaulity, I'd say you sound a bit nasally. That and when you sang" Sleep in heavenly peace" you made poor conversion from the high notes to the low. When singing you have to bang out ever note. No slacking. And don't eb afraid to open up your vocal cords.

XD

Answer 4

Yes, You have a nice voice, but you are afraid to use it.... And the flow of your words needs a little practice, and try to breath from deep within, because you push the music through your nose, But you have excellent potential... practice and find you a vocal lessons coach....

Answer 5

You have a very pleasant voice. You just need to learn vocal control. Join your school choir and they'll teach you breathing techniques and vocal exercises. Good luck :)

Answer 6

if you really want to give it a shot, then go for your dream...
get voice training. learn how to pick songs that are suited to your voice.
look, even if you fail, you'll always have the satisfaction of knowing you tried...and inner peace. good luck!
