The Living Room Series: God Bless the Child

[TheFlameTop]

Sara ,

You've allowed `The Living Room Series' to take on a life of it's own , it was your creation and you made live .

This is a wonderful thing you've done here !

[lakewood78]

Sara, you're just awesome.

[tokugijoo]

This is epic.

You've got my subscription, gj.

[Gumby10sfreak]

Hey Sara, you have made me smile tonight. This video is very entertaining and I love how you get into the character of the song. You are a big time star in my book. Fan from Hampton Va.

[dawns31]

Sara, you are amazing. You have the voice of an Angel. You have a gift. Keep up the great work!

It would be a dream to sing a duet with you.

Something of Chris Isaak, maybe?

[TheRealFlowerGirl]

Sara

[trisoctehedron]

This song of bitter disillusionment--it takes a whole lot of imagination to do it with this well when you're this young.

And of course the voice is great too.

[SaraNiemietz]

wow o wow o wow!

So happy you came by to check this one out!

THANKS!!

Sara

[Alan62651]

Very nice vocal styling, Sara. I chose a different route, with solo guitar in place of the orchestra. Hope you enjoy it, too.

[jcvilleres]

Yay!!! You really fooled me there for a minute... hehehe.. Thought you're serious...

You're Awesome!!!

so so happy you like my sound!

Sara

[twibblejazz]

I most definately will!!! Keep it up

[javadude54]

Nice job... love how you work the lower register. Do you ever use any reverb on your voice? I think your voice would sound more "natural" if you had a touch of reverb on it. There are plenty of nice, and inexpensive, reverb units you could connect your mic to and then connect to the computer/recorder. Though if your mic cable is XLR you might need an XLR/1/4" adapter.

A touch of reverb would make your voice sound more like it does in the room you sing in instead of "direct".

[badumpy]

Hey Sara....We are still thinking about you..hope all is well with you. Cant wait till your next video! Tom,Sue and Alison

[SaraNiemietz]

Still in good voice - I forgive you for my heart failure :-) Don't leave it so long. How about another vlog?

[broughall1964]

Not just a great voice, but a natural performer. Outstanding! Thanks for invitation!

In a very short time you will be a huge star.

I know American Idol isn't the only way to the top, but if you were on this season, you'd give Adam a run for his money. I'd be very hard pressed to choose between you.

[SaraNiemietz]

Am truly honored by your sweetest words!

THANKS!!! THANKS!!! THANKS!!!

appreciate your support and hope you stop by again, soon!

Sara

[SaraNiemietz]

thanks for stopping by, Lexie!

[SaraNiemietz]

Appreciate your eyes and ears on this one!

THANKS!

Sara

[CasparSG]

You're a vocal talent, and your overall performance is great. Try to find someone to help you improve the audio, I know YouTube quality is less than it should be, but my sound system almost died playing this song. (Perhaps it just wasn't made for 500W, but that's MY living room...)

You have a voice to be proud of, respect it by improving the audio quality! Hire a specialist (or a nerd) for your next recording.

[DFWTexan42]

CasparSG,

I'm surprised to read your criticism of the audio quality. I have a speaker system on my computer that puts many midrange stereos to shame, and this performance sounded great on my system!

[SaraNiemietz]

So thrilled that you liked my voice on this video!

Excited that you too love to sing!

THANKS!

Sara

[AnnaKarina2]

Awesome!!!!
