Sorry for my accent if it's hard to understand. Thanks for any advice you give to help me progress. I did mess it up cause I'm a little nervous when I sing, but I know I have a long way to go, but any feedback would be great to help me progress further.
Wow, Man, that is very good. Very nice tone, very convincing performance. I like you lyrics: Drugs never work! - I saw in another post that you are on Volume 3. And form your speaking accent I guess you are Scottish. Am I right?
Aaron, you have a very pleasant, good supported voice. If you are, as I understood, on Volume 3 I could only advice you that you should follow that path you are on. Very good work, so far. Keep on doing good work.
I wish it were an original Doc, and the song is by the verve called drugs don't work. I sang it up a key and mixed it up. You should give it a listen its a great song.
Thank you, I guess I'm a little hard on myself when it comes to singing. I will continue the path I'm on and will update my progress each month.
You sound good! I am not familiar with the song. However, to me you sound on pitch and in key. I suggest that you step by step get yourself to sing in front of friends and then small audiences and practice under some pressure to get more confidence.
Thank you @JB_777 do you think there is anything I do wrong though?
Id like to have a bit of roughness or small distortion (like raspiness) when I sing high to bring in the feeling but I know I need to build a clean sound first before trying that. I'm glad you and others are pleased with the recording, it does add to my confidence since you don't know me and it does mean more to hear it from someone on this forum.
@AaronChristie - thanks, for sharing. Wow! Very cool. Absolutely love your tone. I think you are in a good place with your voice.
IF (maybe it's not) the song is supposed to be sung in an American accent (say, John Mayer, for example), then the only minor critique that I have is to work on minimizing your native accent (I am from USA, BTW). To me, your accent is almost undetectable, except a wee bit on some words. No big deal at all. Seriously. Like I said, it's just a minor thing that I noticed.
As for sounding nasal, that you mentioned, perhaps a very wee bit, but I actually like your sound the way it is. I think you are crafting your own sound very well. Take it where you think you want it to go.
@AaronChristie You sound great! I totally hear you about the trouble practicing with neighbours. I rent a practice space but can't get there every day. It's tough. Your voice is really pleasant and you're only going to get better! Thank you for sharing!
Very good great tone, my advice would be don't be over critical, your on a great path vocally just need that confidence and I can tell your a bit unsure of things but no need relax you doing very well.
Hey mate, I know this song very well, I'm from Australia and the Verve was very popular in my high school years. This area of the forum is great for general feed back, if you would like more detailed critique on your vocals in relation to the course you can post it under volume 1 new student demos or something similar. I will PM you a bit later with a detailed response but I agree with everyone else, it does sound very good!

I appreciate it but because I don't sing in front of people and my adrenaline shoots up when I think I should and its a bit overwhelming.

May I ask if this is an original?
