Sounds good. I like the way you toggle the volume from soft to even softer, and then raising the volume again. Really nice.

You might want to lower the backing track. When you get into the chorus "Save me".........it gets buried in the music a bit. Don't be afraid to have the vocal track too loud. Better to be too loud than not loud enough. (as long as it isn't clipping, distorting)

Good Job.

Peace

@highmtn What do you think?

Diego

@videoace I'll work on lowering the volume, thanks.

You're doing a good job of emulating a lot of Freddie's nuances. It gets a little harsh on the ears when the volume comes up at 0:59.

Diego

@HuduVudu How about you lol.

@Diego Your head voice is really nice and you use it well all the way up to 0:46 in the song. After that you start to run into trouble with your chest voice on the belting. You seem to be introducing distortion instead of using a clean chest voice. I saw this on the last cover you posted. I understand why you choose a lot of Freddy Mercury, you are able to emulate his head voice well. You do however fall down when you are trying to duplicate his chest/mix voice.

I think that Ken's video about chest voice could be really helpful for you to work out this part of your voice. Pay special attention to 3:50 as this is what you are doing in the chest belting parts. Ken talks about how it sounds and why what your doing is happening. He also gives exercises on how to correct it.

I think I'll record this song again tomorrow.

Hi @Diego,

I am with @HuduVudu. Have you ever tried to sing a whole song on the AH vowel? It forces you keep the mouth and throat open. You must learn to use the things we are learning here in the course on singing songs. Try to sing a whole song only on the AH vowel.
