  • Awesome man!!!

    

  • what flaws??!!!

    sounds great

  • Amazing bro.

  • Very good.. inspiring also..

  • God blessed you with this voice. Now I wonder where you learned how old you were when you knew you could sing like this, and did your Mama give it to you when you were born. I am from Memphis was around all the great legends of that time, I know blues and soul in a voice, the way you know is you feel it in your heart, you have this in a big way. Keep growing in your soulful sounds. Janie

  • Amazing!

  • You did wonderfully. great work and who needs auto tune when they have a voice like that!

  • YOU BETTA SANG IT!!!! TOO HOT!

  • pure talent!

  • Man this just hit a nerve in my soul SMH..........

  • Good luck with your future, I hope you go far (:

    

  • You should go to X factor

  • Nearly 5 years ago I was broke... like $3.00 in my account broke...lol. But I wanted to record a song I wrote - "Say Goodbye". Somehow, I managed to scrounge up enough money to pay for one hour at the studio; only enough time for one practice run and one recorded take. That meant NO do-overs, no auto-tune... u hear flaws & all, lol. Listening to this recording makes me proud of how far I've come. Thanks to all of you who have supported me in my journey this far! It's only the beginning...

  • @EricArceneaux great job - it's always uplifting to see someone have their dreams come true. I'm glad you made it because you share your voice with the world and help many people with your lessons. I love 'Say Goodbye'. I love to sing, but can't lol, but I encourage my grandchildren and they love music and singing and playing instruments. I tell them to watch your videos.

  • Erick your voice is beautiful ...Amazing....Soothing... perfect vibratto. I only have two critique, i'm not sure if this is a style music or what, but it was a tad bit too long...And there was WAY too much over-welming vibratto.... I heard it ever since ur first vocal lesson - But you go incredibly high, and i Adore your style bro...I wish i could sing like you, and thank you very much for your vocal lessons, you help many.

  • @Arturostunes

    I agree, great voice!!!I also agree about the vibrato. But all in all, very nice. and this isnt even anywhere near the style of music I listen to.

    Oh, and I really dig how simplistic it is, nothing but a piano and an awesome voice.

  • That was very nice! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

  • The problem is that the radio and media want mindless autotune crap instead of the extremely talented singers like Eric who give you chills!!

  • gosh ur voice! ur voice! BEAUTIFUL.......

  • hello jello :) i just wanted to say that i love your lessons and i do the tutorials everyday. could you, if possible, do a video on how to reach a whistle note because i can do it, but i dont have much control over it, and i cant really use vibrato in that area. so if you do a video on that, it would be really great :D thanks

  • how come u dont try out for american idol

  • This Song is straight up out cold. I take back my previous comment about overdoing the "riffs and runs"

  • take that autotune

  • Yo who this guy?? Where did he come from?? Man this guys voice is fantastic... really really good!!!!! Big Shout outs to Eric Arceneaux edgy and smooth love the song... i wanna do a song with this guy love great voices!!!!!!!

  • What a warm pleasant instrument you have there, sir. You sound great! I too have a huge passion for music. I am a vocalist and will finally be graduating after 4 years in December with a BA in Music-vocal performance. I like how you reference in your coachings the many styles of music. Although I have studied Classical singing, I agree that the technique is fundamentally the same. Most of all I appreciate your accuracy in your lessons. I can tell you have spent sometime studying vocal pedagogy.

  • i'm so proud of you Eric - look at what a following your persistence to succeed has created! congrats - aloha from hawaii KD

  • absolutely perfect. your voice is so leveled out. and you can actually feel the words when they cross your ears. hopefully one day i can get to your level!

  • Very nice! I like the use of your head voice. Very smooth. :) Sounds amazing, really!

  • I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!

  • Are you the one playing piano on this?

  • Your voice is phenomenal oh my goodness. And thanks for the lessons they really helped me! I've been going through a singing slump lately and I haven't been able to sing normally. I think I strained my voice, so I tried your lessons and I really noticed a difference.

    But really..you are perfection. <3

  • Makes me want to cry, sooo beautifulllll! OMG! THANK U!!! xxx

  • im a complete metalhead and i dont listen at all to this kind of music, but this.. was just amazing. i wish more of this RnB ish genre that i mostly hate sounded like this.

    also, I am trying to learn how to sing, and I know anyone can learn the technique and so on, but my voice is really.. flat, straight, one-toned so to say, is there any hope for me anyway?

    thanks a lot

  • yea im wit him vvvv

  • you sing amazing omg ilove you

    r u singel

    *le

  • you sing amazing omg ilove you

    r u singel

  • He Eric, I noticed you have a great chest voice. Keep it real and use it more man. Not that I don't like your head voice (good control and it sounds sensual), but this song (in my opinion) is to much in your head voice . Open up, make it raw at times, that in contrast with you head voice could be more interesting! Btw, do you have more songs? One where you sing more in your chest voice.. Peace out

  • Hey Eric I was just looking up on how to sing better because its has always been my dream to be a R&B singer and i am very confused on how to sing because i get told i have a voice to sing but i dont know how to, Ive always been a r&b kid since birth, like trey songz, mario, Tyrese, now even you, great voice and keep up the good work man

  • beautiful..

  • Very soulful I love old style music and this sir was very fullfilling of my desires keep up the great work

  • Hey I love your music man..iam a upcoming producer nd thanks to yur videos i been to able to hwlp my artist with there voices..but idk where to start to reach tht famous level not jus in singin but as in popularity nd being known..any suggest were to start?

  • You are an excellent Singer

    You should Go pro

    In mean time you will be very much famous

  • Wow...very nice... Wish you were my personal teacher (in person) lol... I can't afford the time for singing lessons at the moment. But your short videos are very helpful. Hopefully one day I can sound as melodic as you do. -Eve

  • you have a great voice. Singing came a little naturally for me, but I want to improve... I want to be able to get the R&B tone down

  • Hello!

    Thank you very much for the help you give to everybody, including me.

    I want to be a good singer, I love to sing, but I know that I need to practice too much and to believe in me. :)

  • yow this is the sickest piece i have heard. how can i learn???????

    please help me

  • omg!! this is ah-mazing!

  • Man I never listen to RnB to be quite honest I don't really enjoy it until I find a rare singer as yourself singing a beautiful song, I would of expected such quality to be signed up by now by a big ass record deal. I believe it's just a matter of time until you're truly discovered

  • You can reeeeally sing!

  • There is so much smoothness in your voice... Especially your falsetto... wow... Amazing... I love that "Far from fine" part, because that was just amazing....

  • wow wow wow.................. amazing!

  • wow... beautiful

  • Wow...listening to your voice makes me dream...of one day singing like you...it was a blessing to find your voice classes in youtube..I was kick-out of the praise team because of jealosy from the pastors daughter..But even tough Im no longer in her class Im trying to keep looking for ways to improve my voice... because I want to give the best to God... Thankyou for motivating me.... I would love to meet you someday and give you a big hug just to thankyou ....May God keep on blessing you..

  • i Wish the Radio Stations would play this Kind of Music.

  • you have a great voice!! i cant sing at all.. what do you suggest i do to improve my voice in a shorter amount of time?

  • Hey Eric I was wondering, if you dont already have one, can you post a video and/or answer this post and explain how to transfer from note to note with such smoothness and ease I just started to do you're warm up's also

  • OMG.

    This is the most inspiring and touching song on Youtube.

    Seriously it makes me cry. :")

    Eric your voice is one of the best voices I've ever heard.

    greetings from Lithuania,

  • I will never think of it the same when you look at me threw ur singing tutorials on youtube 0.o damnnnn ;D

  • Just beautiful. I am a 54 yr old woman, and I still sing in our church choir. Your videos have helped me immensely. Thanks for putting them here to use.

  • i think if I sing this song its like ahh I kill myself waaaaaaaaaa

    I am always your fan

    SIR ERIC CLEMEN!!from philippines^^

  • Good singer. Hate the 'stache.

  • do you get your voice edited even the slitest touch or is that fully natural in a studio?

  • omg!!you re awesome singer and great teacher....realy great...!!!!

  • now this is some good stuff

  • It's very beautiful I'm going to use your song for my next Michael Jackson video,so please check it out when I post it.

  • have you taken any voice lessons? coz' your voice is amazing! wow.

  • Yo Eric, fantastic stuff! I gotta say, I love your work :D just tossin' another view and +1 to ya. P.s. How 'wet' do you set your reverb, percentage-wise? 25%, maybe 35%? Keep it up, dude.

  • What( Mic ) are you using with your Vocals? Piano? and Mac or PC?

  • Your voice is amazing! and it's so refreshing truly deep good music

  • wow ur good i want to be a actor and singer really bad i would do anything i sing good i think please comment me

  • your vocal tone is amazing, you can feel every word your singing. all the best from Australia in your musical journey :)

  • Hey bruh, look I can't sing at all but I have a DEEP DESIRE to learn. Is it possible for someone who has no skills at all to learn to sing well? YOu really have a natural God given talent. I really enjoyed this song!

  • @kbjew15 Thanks a lot! And it is VERY possible for ANYONE to improve. You said that I have a natural God given talent, and I appreciate the compliment. But nothing could be further from the truth. Singing didn't come naturally to me at all. It took years of hard work. Now I'm at a place where I feel confident and in control of my voice. I truly believe that, if I could do it, anyone can do it. Check out my "How I Learned to Sing" series on EricRCNO(dot)com you might find it interesting.

  • @EricArceneaux I read your story you wrote on your blog about how you learned how to sing. It really inspired me because lately my voice has been feeling tight and hurting. A few years back my doctor told me I have Gastroesophageal reflux disease. This was hard for me because like you, singing is my life. My voice quality ain't what it used to. It definitely gets tighter faster and strained very easily but your story made me realize if you could do it, then I could. So I'm not gonna give up.

  • @EricArceneaux How do you exercise your voice to get your pitch right?

  • @EricArceneaux

    eric you inspire me to be better and not quit.

    because the last teacher i had always talked badly of me behind my back,i over heard her several times. and than put me down a lot. but i got a new teacher who is so much better to me and is still honest(: i think the most important thing to be a singer is to have confidence and i get more and more everytime i watch your videos. thankyou.

    singing isnt natural to me, but i feel so much better knowning you were once in my shoes

  • @EricArceneaux & kbjew15 wow, great song. very heartfelt & i can feel the emotion coming through in both the vocals and the piano.

    i have a friend who got constant criticism from pretty much everybody. musicians can be pretty cruel to each other too! she couldn't afford a vocal coach at the time, but she checked out every book she could find on anatomy, vocal exercises, etc. now people love her voice (and she gives voice lessons!) never give up & don't let others define who u are.

  • @EricArceneaux so theres hope for me!! <3... thanks thanks thanks thanks! ive been looking everyyywhere for someone to show me how to sing ;_; and you actually reply! your voice is amaaazing. start making more songs!! plz lol

  • Tak krasivo! wow! awesome :)

  • it's great!!

  • Your Gifted :)
