Hi there,
tonight I gave my "most loved song on earth" another try
And yes, after 2 months on Volume1 I think I can say it made a huge progress.
So this one was recorded 3 months ago... one month before KTVA... unfortunately only with mobile head phones & mic (quality is kind of bad in the low notes, sorry).
I wasn´t able to get support and pressure in the high notes (middle starting around 5:24, 6:34 and end of the song 8:20)

And this is what I recorded last night (with a studio mic). Still not perfect but on a good way.
This song means the world to me and I am so happy to be able to sing it now ... thank you so much Ken

Big improvements in your 2nd rendition, pitch up top is much better and much nicer brighter tone. Enjoyed your rendition don’t know the song but can clearly hear plenty of progress. Very nice vibrato looking forward to more of this, you really are in the moment with this song and very comfortable range wise.
Critique noticed at the very end you drifted off pitch a little but was very minor.
Great job.
Vocality
Yes.. I know
Yes me too (thats why I have a picture of Duff, which I painted, as profile pic
Have never tried singing/recording "Welcome to the jungle" yet. This is also on my "target list"
wow, huge improvement in 3 months. You gained a lot of control and brightness.

There are opportunities in there to open up and project a bit more I think, but I don't know if you're intentionally choosing to sing a more...breathy whispery version.
One thing I liked in both is your emotional expression. The technical stuff is important but your clearly feeling the music and are interpreting it.
Love to hear examples of progression.
Most parts of this song are more like "whispering" and like softy/quietly talking to yourself (like said in the lyrics). So I was also really close to the mic most of the song. But I need much more progress and control of my voice and breath until I can do it the way it really should be. Don´t know how long I will have to stay in volume 1 .. at the moment I don´t find so much time
Lol. Guess this one is my next goal... hopefully without the need to "copy" Axls stretched voice.
Beside of the pitch issues... A big problem for me as a non native: speaking/singing so fast in english. I can not eaven read the text that fast as Axl sings it ... so there is one part where I totally fail. Every time. Since 30 years
