Sounds good bro. Not much to tear to pieces. You've got this one covered. It's all in an easy place for you. You seem to have a handle on the higher notes at the end.
Bob
Yeah, I see how those aren't turned into blue links over in that thread. I tried to edit them and put commas in or periods there to delineate the tags, and I couldn't make it work, either.
I don't know what's up with that. Your tag for kaulfers worked fine. I have no idea wassup with that!?!
Just an oddity of some sort.

Nice job on this one too! You feel the music man, it just flows through you nice and easy. At the end of the song you put some high notes and sang them like it`s nothing. That`s my goal! Nice vibrato on the very end!
You used a glottal compression on this one, am I correct? In the means you are holding your breath a lot.

That makes Hyper Sense, streeter.
: ^ )
It makes perfect sense. I`ve been trying recently to incorporate this feeling of holding my breath, yet keeping my throat as open as possible to protect my voice from over singing. Today, after an half hour of bunch of airy chest notes, I tried different approach. I sang few scales in bright timbral head voice without too much air, just small tones with plenty of resonance. I brought it pretty low to my speaking register. Then I switched back to my chest voice workout and tried to remember that super-relaxed feeling. Suddenly, the excessive air was gone! I repeated this every time my notes became breathy and it worked!
Yes,
The timbre comes mostly from cord closure. Most singers use air in their head voice, with the most glaring example of that being falsetto, in which the cords are deliberately held with an open gap. That's where the flutey, airy sound comes from. Holding back the air also means a larger proportion of tone to air in the mixture. So between good cord closure and compression (holding back) the air, you get more tone and less air.
Just to clarify for anyone now reading this thread. Glottal compression (for me) is an extension of support. If the ribs are expanded and the support system is in place you will get that 'Inahare la voce' (inhaling) sensation. When I'm clean, I'm not doing anything artificial in my throat, I'm just letting the voice float on the hard palette on the steady stream of air. When I distort, I'm not squeezing, or pulling anything, it's from a very relaxed, lazy place.
That is the song I am working on guitar !!!
Good job !!! Nice voice !
One critique though, but nothing to do with your voice. The guitars are too loud. You have a great voice. The vocals need to be a tad louder to let us hear you better, and with a voice like yours, we want to hear it better.
