On My Own - Les Misérables - Sung By Me

In this video I sing the song 'On My Own' from the musical Les Misérables.
It is an acapella version as my mother was too busy fuelling her Grey's Anatomy addiction to come and play the piano for me, haha.
I am currently in the National Youth Training Choir of Great Britain, and I have also been recently accepted into Chetham's School of Music (19/11/08).

Feel free to leave comments and constructive criticism, as I am always looking to improve. I am aware I don't have a very 'music theatre' voice, but hey, there's no harm in singing anything and everything.
I've recieved comments regarding the depth of my voice, and I will say now this is a song for contralto or mezzo soprano voices; please do not attempt to tell me it is not for you will most certainly be wrong.
Any rude, insulting, or just plain stupid comments will be deleted, and you will blocked.
Enjoy the video.

you cant sing this song your voice is too low (no offence) i just am in a family of kids on broadway

[spiffyacey]

I don't intend to go into broadway - I don't see how my voice is 'too low' when I'm singing at the pitch that everybody else sings this song at.

Thanks for the comment, though.

I think if you worked on keeping your tongue more in your mouth and less in your throat, your sound would be more vibrant. 15 year old are not supposed to sound 30. I see much potential.

[spiffyacey]

I wasn't aware I sounded that old!

This video is fairly old; recorded perhaps a year and a half ago (though not posted at that time).

As for tongue placement (that sounds awfully strange!), I can hear what you mean, but at that point my voice would be very 'breathy' and I'd place my tongue differently to create a less breathy sound.

Thankfully that's not a problem now XD Voice is still breathy but hey - it's still developing!

Thanks for the comment =) xxx

no offense but i don't like this...

it sounds like you're trying to sing with a deeper voice than you actually have...so yeah.

sorry :/

[spiffyacey]

You don't have to like it, and thanks for the comment, nice to know what everyone thinks.

I'm not trying to sing deeper than I can though; I know not to force my voice or attempt a 'manufactured' sound.

im sorry. i dont like it.wrong song 4 u

[halhug13]

you're a good singer, but you sing from your throat and it ends up sounding kind of nasally. so like mags9158 said, work on singing from your diaphragm. it will open up your voice and you will sound fantastic.

[sleepingbeauty2010]

Wow now I know what a second alto sounds like. I'm a first :)

[peacegirllover]

i think i know kaitlywilkins is talking about it sounds like you are going to low for your voice or your voice is too low for a female lead

[babykitty84]

wow your mean your just a saprano and she is probably an alto

[mags9158]

Love the song, and ur a good singer, but ur singing from ur throat. Practice ur breathing and sing from ur diagphram. Well done though.

[kaitlynwilkins]

i was not trying to be mean i can be a bit harsh sometimes wht do i know i am just going into 7th grade i just come from a one big family nd i guess i am used to high pitch voicese sry

[mtalululovesadam]

u sound a lot better on the higher notes! You are amazing. And I think u should try to feel a little more emotion but other than that...very nice job.

[000nour000]

'and i know ...' lift it! but you have a nice voice, ignore the haters - as a trained singer i can tell you that! anyone has a problem with her ... come to me
