Hi guys here's my recording of The Joker as recommended by Doc. I'm singing it two half-steps below the original. Please provide suggestions/observations.
In this demo I'm using my Shure microphone which is coming out of a PA but ultimately everything is just being recorded on my cell phone video recorder and microphone, so does the Shure microphone not even make a difference?
**EDIT** I re-recorded the song in the original key, posted further below

At the end of the day its the source i.e. your voice will make the biggest difference, sound quality may be affected depending how good the mic is on your cell phone!!.
Like the demo your voice sounds good do you intend to build up from 2 half steps?

@Vocality You will get better sounding recordings if you run the "MAIN OUTPUTS" to the "SOUNDCARD", and the "MONITOR OUTPUTS" to the "MONITORS".

@Vocality
On the higher notes, Try to hold more air back with diaphragm. That will give it more of a robust sound, but overall I thought it was a better version.
Peace, Tony
The stuff about holding back the air with the diaphragm is volume 3 right?
Volume 3 I do believe introduces glottal compression.
There are other ways of holding air back, but for where we are in the program we're instructed to hold the air back with the diaphragm.

Now if he had stronger support that would be possible, but if your going to use stronger support anyway, why not do it in the proper key?
Make sense?
Peace
When you use the proper support no matter the key, it will sound stronger, you will be able to hold pitch better, longer, and your voice will last longer.

Lets say you played the saxaphone.
In order to produce notes properly with it, you need to push so much air across the open reeds. If you push too much, well on a saxaphone the sound will bend because the air will give way before the metal, but with your voice the cords will give way instead of air.
So the moral of the story is: If you don't use proper support, you won't be able to produce the notes properly, just like the sax.

Here is Daughtry's version of Rocket Man. He sings it two half steps below the original key. Do you think this lessens his performance?
But yes, you will probably be modifying the F4, and G4 with aw, and maybe a little oo(hook) on the A4

He must have his guitar tuned really low. If you notice he has a capo on the second fret of his guitar.
Peace
With me, I like to push myself. If I am going to change keys, it's going to be higher. (which I don't) But I'm always pushing for that extra note, everyday.
For example: There is a song I like to sing called "Wildfire" by Michael Murphy. To warm up for it, I will do the song "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by Neil Young a couple of times first. After doing that, "Wildfire" seems like a breeze to sing. That's why I mentioned practicing it in a higher key, so when you DO sing it in the right key, It's that much easier.
Each person is different. If it helps you to start off lower, that's cool as long as you get to the same place.

And very nice, that you get so much feedback from the others. I liked to one in the original key more. No only because of the fancy sunglasses. Your voice sounded a little more solid and felt more confident to me.
I have still have to work on support myself. And I think this is what you should address the most.
But you are really growing.
