My Way (GMD)

This is an old original of mine I originally played with my old band Gotham....if someone can help me improve the recording of the acoustic guitar, feel free to give me advice.
I am new at this.

I meant a tad lower on the chorus*

Cheers!

@GutterDoll138 Got ya.

I am really starting to believe my problem is not so much my range, as much as the fact that I need to learn how to relax more and just let it out....I look too tense in my videos....

:-)

[GutterDoll138]

@vampiroangelico Ya. That's a factor. Tenseness messes with your breathing. Prime example; take a listen to my song video (the only one I have lol) and you'll see it. I was so shy that I almost butchered the song! LOL Just kidding. It could've been way better if I wasn't so tense/shy and breathed better! :)

...You know the only wish that I've had since I was a kid (still) is to sing. I wish so bad that I could make a great band and just express ourselves and touch people's lives! ::sighs:: :(

[vampiroangelico]

@GutterDoll138 Well I just need to keep practicing, I just need to not give up....Recently my self esteem went down the drain....

I'd be happy to be half as good as you are....

Wow G! Your voice has improved so much! :o)

The breathing is better and the strength shows better now. The lyrics are pretty. The only advice I have is, don't hit such a high note in the chorus. Okay, you're a Contralto right? Don't try going falsetto yet! A high note for you should be a Mezzo-Soprano. I think the chorus pitch peak should be in MS because the rest of the song is basically Contralto. I think that will do great for ya!

You're doing real good, my friend! Bravo! :o)

@GutterDoll138 Thank you sooo much for the compliments and advice!

It means so much to me! :-)

Well actually my vocal instructor thinks I'm a tenor....soprano and mezzo soprano are terms used for female voices. That falsetto note isn't very high for me, but I'd like to know it , if you think it is.....you have to consider there's a 3-voice harmony in that chorus, one of which is a fifth lower, one is a third higher than my main lead line.

@vampiroangelico ::blush:: aww man... Thank you so much.

What a nice thing to say. I really appreciate that, my friend.

You're a good man. Keep practicing, keep your head up and

[most importantly] keep your good heart. Your friend, Amy Lou

[GutterDoll138]

@vampiroangelico Generally, yes. However, there have been male singers I've known (who actually trained with me) who were Mezzo-Sopranos. lol

I definitely wouldn't say you're a Tenor; although you're a little close. I'd say you're more Contralto. Although there's a 3V harmony, they can be manipulated a note or so lower. I think for now, the notes you used are too high for your voice and level. You're doing much better and there's great breathing, but if you go a tad lower it sounds better. :)
