title is sunshine, written some time last year. one of my best and most popular work in my early times of songwriting with my current band though it's quite cheezy haha

written in key of A, the melody for the refrain seems tricky, but nailed the chorus at the 5th of the key (E 4th octave for the tenor vocalist). more highlighted in the instrumental when i got it transposed +2 at B, where the notes of the solo are just based from chorus, thus making the 5th and the first note of the solo F#. enjoy!

few of my works are based on this principle too.

Alamak! It says the song is temporarily unavailable la mate. But the other tracks on your profile seem to work fine. Smile for Me has a nice ambient feel to it, nice.

crap. sorry about that bro, lemme check it again. but anyway if you can see the list of songs in our page, you should be able to play Sunshine directly.

the chorus of Smile For Me works just the same anyway composed in the key of Bb, the chorus starts off with F4.

I would love to add vibrator to my voice to it sounds beautiful.
Somehow i feel unnatural when i try it.

I guess is technique problem.
As i saw people doing it like the sound come out from diaphragm, but mine seems just vibrating my jaw only.

Hope we are talking about the same thing?

we have the same problem my vibrato isn't natural, it sounds mechanical.

yes it's the technique. i do mine from my throat, which isn't really the correct thing to do. i once joined this choir, the choir master told me that it should be done from the diaphragm. but i was too busy to continue with the choir to actually learn the technique. the lead vocalist of my band does it very well and very naturally.

and i want to learn this the correct way.

guise, any inputs on this?

i found this thread after surfing thru few pages in this this section. it is similar topic to this thread, http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2438629

I'm guilty of using my throat as well, although to be honest I really can't be bothered to learn a completely new technique - learning curve is a b*tch hehehe.

From what I've seen, there are at least 3 ways in which the human body can produce vocal vibrato. Mouth, throat, diaphragm. I picked up up throat style DIY - was trying to sing the intro to Highway Star and it suddenly came to me hehehe. I think all these require practice only, sure can do one. Only have to rajin la.

I use different type of vibrato depending on which part of my range I'm singing in.

i think there are a number of mainstream pop and rock singers are guilty of the same. a lot of those naturally talented vocalists had no formal training, picked up their own style, and whatever technique/s it is they picked up, it worked for them.

and ya, learning curve is a b*tch. a tough one my own vibrato took awhile for i learned how to do it.

Hey guys! I've read some posts in front and I noticed people mentioned Brett Manning.

I personally have had lessons from Brett Manning's associate, Jesse Nemitz.

I would have to say it pretty much wasted my RM 900. Two lessons. I'm that hardcore on singing lol. Eitherway, lucky me I didn't BUY the program. I downloaded it online lol. So many people uploading it onto the internet =\ A google search = done.

I don't mean to bash on Singing Success or rather it's source, Speech Level Singing which originated from Seth Riggs. Not only did it not give me range, tone or vibrato, it wasted my efforts and money and time. -.-" To be honest I was VERY disappointed having high hopes. However, it DID allow me to find my head voice.

Singing Success does have some incorrect technique. In singing, there are plenty of schools of singing. The main school that are the real deals, are those that originated from bel canto.

However, Singing Success' approach to singing DOES help some people. For me, it doesn't. Everyone is different . Though speech-level singing which focuses on bringing your head voice down to your chest voice and not building up your chest voice will really make you lose your upper-mid belting sound and you'll have more of a pop/light/RnB sound. Want a big sound? No way.

You say they have students like Hayley Williams? Hayley Williams had that voice before Singing Success.

A good example to people who lose their power through Speech level singing is Michael Jackson. Listen to MJ's early songs (when he was young) Then listen to his current ones. He did lose a LOT of power. It was sad :|. MJ took lessons from Seth Riggs, the original founder of SLS (speech-level singing)

I found Ken Tamplin after failing on Singing Success. It literally helped me a LOT. My range? I can go up to a A5 / B5. Properly connecting from Chest voice to head voice. I'm still learning to develop a mixed voice which gives the more Pop kind of sound.

I'm not advertising Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, but rather, I have been through the pain of about 6 months of wasting time every single day doing Singing Success and I don't think anyone should feel that way lol. If you're gonna invest on some singing program, do it at KTVA. It's really worth every single cent. It's a bit costly, I'd have to say. But worth it. 100% money back guarantee if it doesn't work for you.

I got the gold bundle which is like roughly RM 2k? @__@" But super worth it. Considering you get 3 free lessons with Ken Tamplin as well which cost like RM 590 each -.-"

Ken also has free webinars from time to time, heck, while typing this I'm in one LOL. He's talking about hyper glottal compression. So yeah.

Here's the website : http://kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
Forums : http://kentamplinvocalacademy.com/forum/
(I'm known as Kokonuhtz on the forums, am a Moderator there)

You can google Ken Tamplin and see all his albums, records etc etc. Youtube him and you can see him teaching other people. All the real deal.

Feel free to ask me questions! This is my review on KTVA btw :

Thanks for your time XD

Just to ask, who here love avenged sevenfold and can sing avenged sevenfold very well.
Love to jamming with great vocal.
Always poor vocalist spotted.

Nice thread. I cannot consider myself as a pro though as i do not have any formal voice lessons before. But i do sing on weddings, parties and bars. Since I love to sing I just practice daily, join chorale groups and guest on bands.

Practice. Vocalize. Practice.

You sing many types of song or certain types only?

sure love to jam with you someday

Hello! I do not have a specific genre. From R&B to alternative. From love songs to pop rock. Evanesence, Adele, The Jets, etc.

Hallo people!

I love to sing! A LOT. Singing is always the one thing that can get my mind clear off stuffs which have been bothering me.

I know nothing about those technical terms. I sing just because I love to sing. I've always longed for a chance to be able to perform with a live band, that is when I can feel the music flows through me. Awesome feeling.

Ever tried singing with some friends in a band? Or karaoke even? Good way to start.

Unfortunately, I don't have any friends who are into jamming. I do go for karaoke but it's just not the same as a live band. I went to a jazz live concert before, amazing! I really miss that kind of feeling.

Yeah, I get u. Singing for a crowd is really something else. Singing for a crowd that sings back along with u, that's even better hehehe.

Post in the Bandmates & Band seek subthread la, ask around for ppl who are looking for a vocalist or sumthing. If ur in the Klang Valley area, sure got a lot of takers one.

+1

we get this at times, even when they sing our own originals along with us. it's a really nice and rewarding feeling.
