Look, my friend, I've been a "professional" musician and singer for over 30 years, and I'll tell you - this is a FINE effort! I've done a lot of a capella stuff over the years, and all these "haters" need to get a grip on what it takes to put together a piece like this. Half the time you're flying blind 'cause you can only hear the finished product in your head and nowhere else. Keep up the good work. I'll be putting some a capella stuff on my YouTube library soon.
Its good but your missing things and there is only one way to say this, your singing it like a white person, im guessing your white but that doesn't matter you need that soul very thick tone and those high notes need to be more than Forte You need like FFFF for that. Its not racists its the truth this is suppose to be African inspired
I'm a Lion King fanatic...I've seen the Broadway show countless times, the movies as well, and I'm also a singer all my life. This is very impressive for being amateur. Good job! Keep it up. Don't let anyone put you down! You've got a great voice there, be sure to take good care of it!
The pronunciation at the beginning could be better, but the point is your voice.
Some aspects of it are great (especially the sound on the lead vocals), but the cluttered bass, distance, bad balance, lack of strong rhythmical voices and low overall power and clarity leaves it so empty. It sounds like the performer is skilled and has access to good equipment, but is sadly unfamiliar with the recording and processing parts.
@Bobstew68 i can tell you, i'm only an amateur; the 'great equipment' is a standard mic and a freeware editing program; there's also a huge difference between the quality of the audio on youtube and the original track on my laptop, especially concering the clarity of the overall sound! i have no training whatsoever, so guess i'm not really to blame? =) but thx for your comment!
@Lovetosing85 Sorry if I came across as an ass. :/ "Good" equipment, as opposed to the a cappella amateurs who sing into their laptop microphone. There are lots of positive things to say too! The harmonies are great, there's very good attention to detail, etc. By "sadly", I meant that your musical aptitude as a performer is impressive (both the singing itself and your ear), so it's a pity when it's held back by the audio processing. "The circle of life" is a very powerful song.
@Lovetosing85 If you're "just an amateur", keep it up, my friend, we'll all be waiting for your first album. I've been a "professional" singer and musician for over thirty years, with a studio in my home, and would be hard pressed to come up with something this full and intricate. Do NOT pay any attention to the complainers . . . they haven't shown me anything that would tell me that their opinions are "special".
This is amazing! Very, VERY, impressive. If it were physically possible for me, I'd give you 300 thumbs up. Sadly, i can only give you 2, combined with 8 fingers and 10 toes up.
SORRY ABOUT THIS! when you are reading this dont stop or something bad will happen! My name is summer i am 15 years old i have blonde hair,many scars no nose or ears..i am dead.if you dont copy this just like from the ring, on 5 more sites.. or..i will appear one dark quiet night when your not expecting it by your bed with a knife and kill you. this is no joke something good will happen to you if you post this on 5 more pages
nice job men I think your voice needs more intention (I 'm not sure if is said like this in english, I mean like more expression) i love your voice specially at minute 2.23 through 3.10( the flute part) congratulaitons
The lead singer is the only singer. Please learn to read descriptions. And even though the "lead voice" is a bit off, there's no need being rude, tyvm. He did a nice job on the hymns.
I used a standard mic and the multitrack recording program Cool Edit Pro 2.0 for recording and editing. That's it. I don't think the program is still being sold, it might have been taken over by Adobe.
ah ok, i thought so, i love this movie and all of it's songs! they r awesome, keep up the good work, id like 2 hear some more of ur stuff, 5* and subbed mate :)
hey mate, just curious, did u just guess the beginning of the song? or did u look up the actual zooloo (if thats how u spell it) lyrics? great job btw :)
This is absolutely amazing! I'll admit, i was scared when I first clicked on this. However, I'm so glad that I did. It really sounds like a professional choir is doing it, and not just one person. You have an incredible voice. Please, keep doing things like this.
I was looking for a little bit bigger 'bang' when you came in with the circle of life part, maybe adding some kind of drumming voice if you can do that. but otherwise it was great :)
I have to admit I honestly can't remember! I recorded this over 4 years ago and now I've got new equipment, including a new (and much better) mic:) It was a pretty cheap one with no phantom power... Sorry I can't be of more help! Gtz.
:DDD you're awesome dude! choir of me's. hehe XD very very nice dude. im a huge huge huge fan of lion King, and i think you did pretty good on this ^^
That "choir of me's" thing is called "multitrack". I strongly advise you to add "multitrack" to your video title and the tags. Without it many people might miss it.
