Re: Demo Area for the Bold - Critical Feedback for the more Experienced
Sounds good, That one "be" at 1:27 is a bit staccato for this song. I would do that more relaxed, sustained, and smoothly like you are most of the rest of the song. I would also do the falsetto note at 3:09 a little less prominently, and more subtle. That note will stick out simply because it's so high, so it fits in better if you make it more subtle than hooty. Back off the mic or hold back more air so that note won't poke out so much and you'll have a nice high note that fits the overall song better.
To anyone who hasn't tried this song in the key of C, it's not easy to pull off. The passaggio is right in the middle of just about every line of this tune, and it takes skill and finesse to do a good job with it.
Nice work, @RandyB !

Re: Demo Area for the Bold - Critical Feedback for the more Experienced
I haven’t shared anything in a while. Thought this came out well. This is a single take. @Wigs @DannyOc3an @highmtn @Vocality @Rick_amateur @LumiMoonWell done, @RandyB ! You're so comfortable in that tough pocket around the passagio that the listener is put at ease that you're not staining but singing comfortably and well.

For my taste, how about holding/ending at the A4 of "Be" rather than sliding down to the E4. Also, sliding up to the C5 at the end would be better, IMO, and well within the comfort zone of your well-earned voice.
Thanks for the treat.

Re: How do I know if I'm ready to start singing with distortion?
Hi Bryson, @Bryson_B,
my name is Marco (most call me Doc because of my profession), I am 49 years old and started the course 1.5 years ago. So, I am Newbie. But I learned a lot of seasoned singers here in the Forums.
I had A LOT of AHA moments here in Ken's Forums. I always thought of distortion being loud and with a lot of power. The opposite is the truth.
First, I learned that Ken wants to use the term "distorted tone". A lot of very cool singers helped me to understand this. First, it is tone. Distortion is a kind of nuance we add to our tone.
Second, I learned, that here at KTVA distortion is a relaxation response. I was really shocked when I learned that my distorted tones were quieter than my clean tones.
I think that you are ready to add distortion to "your tone" when you have have gained very good glottal compression and gained control over your overall singing volume.
But ... I am really a Newbie being only 1.5 years on the course.
Doc
