Newbie Demo of Rolling in the Deep (Secret/Private Link)

https://soundcloud.com/ajb42589/adele-rolling-in-the-deep-sample-raw/s-KWWMIHi all!

Here is my take up to the first chorus prior to starting KTVA 2.0

Disclaimer: I am not an audio engineer, so not sure how to tweak my recording or mixer. Everything is set to the middle as far as EQ goes and there's no reverb or instrumental. I did use the compressor dial.

    Your link aint working if your using soundcloud create a private link copy, click on the link icon at the top middle of text window and press "CTRL&V" that should post the link correctly. The soundcloud link should start with https://soundcloud.com/user

    Quick comment you are over enunciating your consonants. Just remember every time you pronounce a consonant fully you are shutting down your throat.

    Sounded good.

    Hi Andrew, @TheDrew89

    very good starting point. Pretty good relative pitch. You will see your voice growing with the course tremendously.

    Thanks! @HuduVudu and @doc_ramadani

    I'm looking forward to the course and growing. I can see the over enunciating for sure and I'm thinking that's due to over compensating for slurring T's K's D's and such that I do when I speak. Will that be addressed in the course or do you have an exercise to balance between too much enunciation or too little?

    Im brand new here but if you are quite new I think that was pretty damn good. Well done

    Thanks, @joshr that means a lot to me. I got sick after this and am just starting the program myself. The beginning has helped me a lot and I believe it can help anyone :)

    Hi Andrew, @TheDrew89

    wow, a very warm Welcome on "PRO 2.0". From your status I can see that you decided to join us. A very vice choice.

    I would like to recommend to you that you visit these forums regularly and listen to other students' demos and comment on them. Then read carefully what other students comment. You will learn a lot from that, believe me. You will get very good on analyzing yourself. Get involved and squeeze out the most of this course.

    Good to have you here,
    Doc

    Awesome! I do need to dedicate more time to the forum. I think I’ll write up a schedule for KTVA and the forum today. Thanks for the welcome and advice :)

    I agree with what have been said previously but you do sound great, keep practicing....... and I when say I think you are good compared to me it goes like this:
    (I aint proud or if.... just showing you how good you are compared to me so keep at it :) )

    I think you have a great voice. Ken’s YouTube helped me out so much that’s why I started the KTVA program. I had no breath support without Ken and I think you’ll really like your voice the more you study :) don’t be too critical of your voice. I’m a beginner like everyone that needs Ken to train me :)

    Ken's program is the best, but he can only put the hammer in hour hands.... you need to pound on the nail....... sorry for the old saying but it so totally applies here....

    Keep singing xxxx
