Looking for criticism/advice

RandyB

I purchased the course last year, but haven’t been doing it as consistently as I should. I primarily like to sing karaoke and have only ever gotten feedback from friends and family—not always the most objective crowd. So, I’m looking for some criticism and things to work on. And I just got back from Memphis, so I’m on a huge Elvis kick. Thanks in advance.

ooh what a nice surprise. you sound almost like a pro. Good pitch, good phrasing, good tone. Its always hard to critique songs. Keep on going.

RandyB

Thank you, Maxim! The kind words are much appreciated.

Sorry mate, I can't open them without downloading the files which I prefer to not do.

RandyB

@wigs Oh, sorry. I’ll have to look into it. It’s my first time posting and using Drop Box. @maximgottmer Did you have to download my songs?

RandyB

@Wigs I think I got it sorted out...I hope. 🤞

Ok, thanks. Do you have the Drop Box app? I wonder if it forces you to download it if you don’t have the app???

You would do better to do it on YouTube or SoundCloud they seem to work for everyone

RandyB

@Wigs @sjonrokz4u Ok, here goes take 3! Giving Sound Cloud a shot.

Your voice sounds fantastic! You have excellent control of your voice already! I couldn't really find anything to critique in any of the recordings. Your singing is not only very pleasant sounding but it draws the listener into keep listening. Keep on singing, you're sounding wonderful.

RandyB

Thanks so much,@Chris82

Here’s another Elvis cover.

Wigs

Really nice resonance in your lower range! I've only just gotten round to listening to this. Try this experiment, you hang your ns and ls a little bit, hang the vowels instead for a bit longer, see if you like it 👍🏼

RandyB

@Wigs Nice pick-up! I’ll give it a shot.

@shining Thank you!

I am on an Elvis kick, too. I am going to Memphis in December, to include Beale Street and Graceland. I have the SIRIUS Satellite Radio all Elvis channel. I started listening to it because I wanted to escape the anxiety inducing news. Since I am from the same regions of the USA as Elvis, it's a good fit.

BTW if anyone wants to go to Memphis, TN December 11, feel free to contact me via this forum..... I hope that is okay with the forum, as I am brand new. I just bought the course today and am awaiting shipment.
