Stand Tall - The Dirty Heads (Cover)

Chris82

Hey there dudes and divas! It's been a minute since I've had a chance to post any of my singing. My in-laws have been staying with us the past two weeks which really put a damper on my singing but they left yesterday and I've the whole day to sing today! I've known this song for a long time, it's one of those sing along songs I sang in the car but never tried to sing it on my own and record it. So I spent about an hour this morning practicing this song and here is the result. The original has multiple people singing the different parts but I just did them all.

Sounds cool ... and for just one hour practicing you really did a good job. I agree that the rap part is kicking ass! Really cool stuff on this!

I had never heard this song before but I like it. Your vocals are really strong. And whoa, the rapping part was amazing! I can't believe you only worked on it for an hour. It's really great.

Very nice. Pitch was solid, rapping sounded great (did you memorize that or read the lyrics?). I assume you put the vocal levels so high in the mix so we could analyze them, obviously you would keep them lower in a final recording. My only critique would be to soften your Rs on better and together (bet-uh), but I listened to the original and they do it this way too, so I guess it's a stylistic choice. Nice work.

Never heard the song but you do it well

Wigs

The huffing exercise and glottal compression has been paying off 😉

Thanks everybody! I've sang along to this song a lot while driving in the car so I already knew the melody and lyrics but I had never sang the song without singing along to the artist and that's what I spent an hour on, I did about 6 takes in total.

@Michael4000 I had the lyrics memorized already.

@Chris82 Wow, that was very nice! Good tone, very nice vibrato and the rap part was really spot on! Very impressive that you managed to get this in only 6 takes.

heidianita

Really love your vibrato 👌
Oh my... How I wish for sun and summer-heat. I will hear this again later in the summer 😎

I've always been kinda iffy about my own rapping but since you all enjoyed it here is a bonus song for you. It's a mix of rap and singing with a lot of melody:

@Raphael_Hussl & @heidianita Thank you!

@Chris82 Good Job Chris! Very solid performance!

Michael4000

Flawless. I can't think of anything to critique. Timing and pitch was great. Watch for volume level clipping at 3:10 ("yeah")
