Egao no Wake (sung by me)

[pinkangel1446]

i can here that your not using your real voice, if you use real voice you will sound better, and try not to force yourself but its great!!!!!!!!!!!

[Taekwondo86]

very good! bit of some constructive criticism? it seems just like what seirine was saying, a bit too close to mic. also try to not take too many breathes. at a couple of times, u were a bit off cause of a breath. just practice that, get a bit farther from the mic, sing OUT more, and you'll be perfect! you sound so amazing as is! keep it up!! one last thing. sometimes if you dont try to be so quiet, it actually helps with the length of a breath. sugoi! i wanna hear more! <3 ^_^

[cielle4vr]

sing loudly!! i can't hear ur beautiful voice!! and it's really good to record ur voice and listen to it many times, so that u can see some mistakes u might'v made, or how much ur in tune, stuff like that. that's how i improved. i listened to mizuki nana's songs every day and sang loud until my sister was ready to punch my ovaries XD

[seirine1]

(sure that i'll get disapprovements) but don't take me negatively, i just wanted to let you know that when you sing, don't be too close to the mic. No offence ^-^''

Nice voice, BTW. You can be a good singer if you want to.

[aminayama]

Don't worry. ^^ Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Thank you for the feedback. It helps me to improve.

[sevv88]

Ah, and I mean no offence, really -__- I hope you don't mind my comments? Don't take them in a bad way, because that's not how they were intended. ^__^;

[aminayama]

Ah, don't worry. ^^

This is really helpful. Constructive criticism is not offensive, and shows that you cared enough to make a long, detailed comment.

Thank you very much!

[sevv88]

Oh and one more thing: To sing that loudly, at first it will probably feel as though you're yelling or shouting.. ^__^,, it does, after singing quietly for a long time, trust me haha! ;'3 and of course not all songs are sung like that, but I think Egao no wake should be a bit louder.:) You can hear the original singer go "SUBETEEEE--"(1:05) and really sing out LOUD at some parts :)

[aminayama]

Heh...yeah. It felt like I was shouting every time I tried that.

I might try this song again later on.

[sevv88]

Not bad :3 but what strikes me first is, that is sounds as though you're whispering (or speaking/singing VERY silently) it. Try and imagine you're trying to sing to someone who's standing 100 metres away - to reach with your voice, you'll have to change the way you sing and "feel" the difference in your vocal cords/stomac. Compared to "whispering" the song, it's much much harder to sing out loud with a STRONG voice - but with practise I'm sure you could do it, cuz like I said, you're not bad!^^;

[aminayama]

I see...Thank you very much.

I seriously don't know anything about singing, so this helps a lot!

[Shinobifuji]

more more longer full version mwahaha

[aminayama]

Haha. ^^ Thanks.

I might try it later on. I don't know if I have the stamina to do the whole song, though.

[Shinobifuji]

noooo really? i highly doubt that. you're so good. i'm sure you have the stamina

[munirss]

WOW your voice is kind..(for me)SOFT! mine is ROUGHT! lol i'm..a girl -.-...but have a voice like a man hahahahahaa!! i think we can duet aminayama XD!

[aminayama]

^^ Thanks. I'm sure your voice is really pretty. It probably just sounds different from mine.

Eh? Duet? Heh, that might be fun.

[tsukemaru1]

i am impressed, you followed the tone very well. like everybody says, u sang to high. but to be able to sing that song in a higher pitch is pretty skilled to me. i can easily see you on a stage with thousands of fans eagerly waiting to hear the tone of your voice. i am serious too, im not trying to flatter you. everyone should heed your voice, wouldn't you agree?

[aminayama]

Wow...*blown away by such high praise*

I was worried that my singing would be too low, so I raised my voice. I guess I ended going too high. ^^

Thanks so much for commenting. ^^

[tsukemaru1]

anytime, i love when people put videos up to show off there talent. do you take lessons??

[aminayama]

Same here. It's so much fun to watch those kinds of videos. ^^

Nope.

[tsukemaru1]

0.0 omg, u dont take any lessons!!!! THATS AMAZING!!!!! how can you sing so well!!! o.o im so jealous XD. =S =][=.

sorry to comment so much, i'm pushing all the other comments off, u can delete them if you want.

[aminayama]

Ah, don't worry. ^^

I never really thought about taking lessons. I just...sing.

[tsukemaru1]

well thats amazing, no amount of praise is enough with your voice=]. i meant it too!

[aminayama]

Wow...Such high praise!

Thank you so much! ^^

*Will work hard to be worthy of such praise*

[LovelessNguyen]

nice voice

[aminayama]

Yeah...When I listened to the completed version, I was surprised at how high my voice was. Thanks. ^^

[jellykandy]

Great Effort! Lower your voice a little, but besides that, you sound great!

[aminayama]

Heh, yeah I agree. I was afraid of sounding too low, so I think I pushed my voice too high. ^^ Thanks!

[kittybooboox]

that was a great effort, maybe lower your pitch a little

[aminayama]

Thanks. ^^ I think my voice has gotten lower since then.

[Volvagia356]

I've tried singing this before, sounds like sh*t.

Now I have it on my iPod to torture other people.

[aminayama]

Lol. Maybe I should try that. Sounds like fun. ^^

[bajabun]

Just work on it. Practice and make your voice stronger, it'll naturally become louder.

[aminayama]

Really? Wow, I hope so.

[ShiOrYeh]

You have a pretty voice, but all I can really say contructively is volume! X3 Keep up the good work- you have talent!

[aminayama]

Thanks very much. ^^ Volume, volume! Really need to work on that...

[jenailai]

errr ya

-_-

[aminayama]

?? hai?

[10dreamingcards]

u been singing high voices?

[aminayama]

high voices? You mean like high-pitched songs?

[quan440]

u have a good voice just work on a volume and i doubt any1 will make fun of u ^^

[aminayama]

Volume...one of my fatal flaws. ^^ I'll try, though.

[stephanieshorty21]

sounds like your whispering in high pitch

[aminayama]

I know...I really need to fix that. But thanks for telling me. Now I know it's not just me hearing it.

[ShiRyuuki]

it was ok

[aminayama]

Thank you for being honest.

[l0oney]

you should've sung with your full voice. you have a very nice vocal and you shouldnt be shy about it. x)

[aminayama]

Really? I feel embarrassed every time I sing...

But thank you! Everyone's comments make me feel a little better and more confident. ^^

[shurikengrl]

its really good =]

[aminayama]

Thank you so much!

[aminayama]

Thank you. ^^ I'm not really fluent in Japanese, but I can speak some.

[heavensfire]

aaw that was cute you have a nice voice.

can i ask if you're fluent in japanese?

[greenlantern72]

Not bad. You did quite well. The song did not seem like it was for you, but you did a good job despite that. ^_^

[aminayama]

While I was doing this song, I think I figured out it didn't match me. But I love this song, and wanted to sing it anyway.

[redxrose252]

^o^You have a great voice!! You just have just to sing a little louder...

[aminayama]

Thank you! I'm afraid you overestimate my abilities, but I'll try hard to meet your expectations.

[DecededHeart]

I'm going to try to sing this too,But I'm having trouble with makeing it.

But once I figure it out...Will you please comment it?

[aminayama]

Of course!! It''ll be my pleasure. ^^ I look forward to hearing it!

[DecededHeart]

I have it done and saved...But I can't load it! Can you help?

[aminayama]

What program did you make it in? If it's Windows Movie Maker, you have to save it to your computer not just save the document. (I think) I hope that helps you.

[DecededHeart]

Yes I did...That may work...Arigatou! *Glomps*

[aminayama]

^^ I'm glad I could help.

[DecededHeart]

T~T Ia don't know how to save it! *I am lame....

[aminayama]

Ah...go to "Finish Movie." Then click on "Save to my computer." A window will pop up and keep clicking next. The video will be saved in the correct format. ^^ If you have any more questions, just ask.

[DecededHeart]

Domo Arigatou! I think that did it, thanks again it's was all thanks to you that I was able to get my first video up!

[darkdistructer]

hmm... you have a very nice vioce but your singing way to soft >.< have a little confidence and try to song louder, ah wait... my bad, i'll tell you something my music teacher told me, don't try to sing it louder but stronger! ^-^ oh and one more thing, i think you should pratice your the scales because it's a little off. just a suggestion!

[darkdistructer]

hmm... i think i commented on this one before... oh well ^-^

[aminayama]

you did, but I appreciate the comment anyway.

[aminayama]

wow, I never knew that. I know almost nothing of singing, (or music in general), so I appreciate tips like that a lot! Thank you.

[qutigrlxx3]

you have a nice voice but try to concentrate on feelings =) and putting ur voice louder =D

[aminayama]

ah, thank you! i kind of regret choosing this song. i'm really bad at putting emotion into a song and this one has a lot of energy. another thing i need to work on. i'll try to keep everyone's suggestions in mind!

[xxLucilarxx]

I think if u practice more you'll get better... like they say, practice makes perfect!!! ^__^

[aminayama]

^_^ thanks for the compliment! i'm afraid i don't have much experience, but i'll try hard to get better.

[SUMMON23]

i think your voice lack power.. it doesnt match the song anyhow just keep practicing

[aminayama]

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I was watching this series when I recorded this. Even though my voice didn't match, I still felt like recording it. Oh well, I'll try to remember that next time.

[darkdistructer]

you sounded really good! well, when i was listening, it sounded like you couldn't contol your voice very well (no offence), so i think you should pratice on a slow song like bleach ending- Life is like a boat. it has some english and the song is slow. Then you should move up to faster songs as you improve.

[aminayama]

^^ thank you for your advice. i know absolutely nothing about music (i've never taken any classes), so i just do whatever song is stuck in my head. i'll try to keep that in mind. arigato!

[animesai]

your voice is a little airy otherwise its okay and you don't have enough breath.

[aminayama]

ah, thank you for the advice! i've never taken chorus or any other singing class, so i know nothing about breathing.

[sagara321]

you sound good atleast you try your best hope you keep at it practice makes perfect

[aminayama]

thanks for the compliment. i try to listen to the suggestions people give me, since they usually help me to improve.

[aminayama]

yeah, i can't sing for a long time. after a while, i start making a lot of mistakes. it's why i rarely do anything longer than a tv size song. but thanks for the compliment. ^,^

[DecededHeart]

Hey...I'm sure you'll get it perfect soon enough.

Though you really should sing more!

[aminayama]

i'll try. do you have any suggestions for songs i sohuld try??

[DecededHeart]

There's this song that I really love, but its knida long and has both English and Russian in it. Its on my vlog in a video called Soilders, but if you want you can try he shorter version. The songs called Rise from Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, and if not then you should try Every Heart, the 4th ending song for Inuyasha. Good luck and let me know if you want more suggestions or need help.

Hmm...btw, did I send you a friends invite?

[aminayama]

thanks. i have no idea how to pronounce russian, but i'll see how it goes. it would be interesting to do that song, if i could figure out how to do it. i know every heart, so i'll try that one once i finish the song i'm working on.

yes, you did send me a friends invite. thanks!

[DecededHeart]

Ok, thats good then. Good luck with your songs and keep me posted, please.

Anytime.

[DecededHeart]

Hey your not bad and I was able to hear your singing easier because the music was sooo quite. You should sing more, Though at the end your kinda got a little sliped up...Still your much better than I am.
