After 2 years of practice I finally tried an Elvis Presley-song.

SingForSoup

I actually put quite a lot of effort into this. I sing, play the guitar and doing my own editing. Did some double-tracking, added a bit of reverb and also did my own "chorus-voice-track". Not sure if that is what it is called, but in the original recording Elvis has backup-singers and I added one of my own (me also that is).

As always, feel free to comment. This this type of music fit my voice? I have no idea, I never sing to anyone so I don't get any feedback.

No comments....is it _that_ bad? Moderators? Anyone? ! And here I was thinking I was getting better.

What about this one then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfJaPz4yJsU

Good work, @SingForSoup ! I think you'd be a hit by the campfire.

For my taste, I think deleting the voice doubling makes it better, more pure, which seems to be your style.

Maarten

sounds good @SingForSoup but I would also double only in the chorusses or just some setences to make them pop out. and just a little bit less chorus. but that's all probably personal taste I guess

Maarten

this genre defenitly fits your voice by the way.
try to hold a note tight (?) not sure that's the right word. you tremble sometimes a little

SingForSoup

Great feedback! A big thank you @Maarten and @Terence . I will definitely take your advice on only do double-tracking on chorus

@SingForSoup Your voice has a warm quality that is well suited to "I Can't Help Falling in Love", and I think you did a good job with the song, I have a suggestion that might just be my personal preference: I thought it would sound better if you smooth out how you sing "Wise men say" and "Shall I stay?", it sounded to me like you were kind of swooping between the notes instead of smoothly transitioning from note to note.

I think you sang 'Whiskey and Me' well! As others have said, I don't think you need the doubling.

@kworam I appreciate the feedback. Thank you!
