Well done, @RandyB ! You're so comfortable in that tough pocket around the passagio that the listener is put at ease that you're not staining but singing comfortably and well.
For my taste, how about holding/ending at the A4 of "Be" rather than sliding down to the E4. Also, sliding up to the C5 at the end would be better, IMO, and well within the comfort zone of your well-earned voice.
Sounds good, That one "be" at 1:27 is a bit staccato for this song. I would do that more relaxed, sustained, and smoothly like you are most of the rest of the song. I would also do the falsetto note at 3:09 a little less prominently, and more subtle. That note will stick out simply because it's so high, so it fits in better if you make it more subtle than hooty. Back off the mic or hold back more air so that note won't poke out so much and you'll have a nice high note that fits the overall song better.
To anyone who hasn't tried this song in the key of C, it's not easy to pull off. The passaggio is right in the middle of just about every line of this tune, and it takes skill and finesse to do a good job with it.
I like the style you presented this in, and man your voice has gotten some controlled power over time. It's really good to hear people still singing from around the time I joined and still getting better!
Great song choice liked country feel to singing that acoustic version worked really well, polished performance through out the song and enjoyed listening very much. My response is a little late but wanted catch up here leave a messege and it's a joy to see fellow singers make excellent progress in their singing.
I´m in Volume 1 of KTVA now for 3 Month Here is my Version of "You know my name" from Chris Cornell from Yesterday. I have just a little Compressor on the Voice. No EQ, no autotune, Melodyne...
Any feedback welcome! Thank you very much
Best regards Oli
Sounds to me like you're not placing the "ah" vowel. As you ascend in the phrase you're pinching and...your pitch is kind of all over the place....I suffer from this exact problem. I think you should focus REALLY hard on trying to land these phrases with the "ah" vowel and the throat wide open. But I love Cornell and I think you can do it. You just need to place that vowel.
