Nicky, you're young, you already had vocal issues (vocal rupture you said, or something like that..)and still continue to damage your voice. And first of all, you have no TALENT.. Sorry, don't take this as an offense! This means that you simply can't go and sing whatever you want and pretend to sound good without having no idea of pitch and thecnique.. Even for talented people it's essential to study hard and improving to became a real singer!! Considering the point you are at now, forget to sing difficult songs like those you posted. Forget to sound like James LaBrie and trying to fit his own style.. you can't even sing in the right pitch! Singing is NOT just screaming to reach high notes and jump around the room to look 'cool' ;)
Great n00b post. :clap:
Sorry Vivace, English is not my first language so can you explain better please?

This wasn't me, but it's a compliment. That is, you're initial posts to the board are excellent. I wish I could say the same about my initial posts. ;)
Oh sorry..I just noticed that :lol Thanks, anyway ;)

ITT I think we should all just post our own vocal covers of DT songs. I will go last
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A. G. Sertillanges

I regret my necrothreading, so I'll post a vocal cover of a DT song this weekend.

He bought himself a better microphone (wireless) and a vocal processor (with reverb), that's for sure. Not sure about the other part.

A wireless mic AND reverb? What more could you possible ask from a vocalist? I think you're just nitpicking, dude.

To the guy who did these covers (if he still reads this thread):

I would take classical vocal lessons. They'll help you out with some of the difficulties you've been having. If you learn that style it will help you sing other styles too.

:lol

This video is actually a wee bit better than his other videos. He actually hits the high notes (sometimes; the third act was particularly bad w.r.t. pitch), but as El Jonno pointed out, he can't control them. This isn't just a problem with his high notes: he even seems to struggle to hit the low notes at 1:00 for some reason. He just can't control his voice.

I am sick of everyone needlessly being harsh on him. What good does it do? How about some constructive criticism instead? How about we just stop needlessly bashing this person.




That being said. That was horrible. I'd suggest trying to learn guitar, bass, keys or drums if you want to be a musician.

It's OK to record the voice but why show yourself in front of the camera and act like exactly James LaBrie?

What I realized and was impressed by after I saw this video is that when you want to cover a DT song, you can choose either the studio version or a live one and there will be no difference. I hadn't paid too much attention to the music and I thought it was the studio version and then I heard a girl on 0:57 and was like:  :o

Edit: Total JLB look on 2:54.

Yes, the microphone is a sennheiser e945 en the vocal processor is an M-one XL.

Yes, the microphone is a sennheiser e945 en the vocal processor is an M-one XL.

Just fyi, the vocal effect is somewhat overwhelming. The rule for any effect is that you shouldn't consciously get drawn to it.

I think in this case the rule is supposed to be that reverb is putty for music.

Nicky, you're vocal timbre has improved since I last heard it, especially in the lower-mid register. I was actually pleasantly surprised.

However, you really need to work on your control and pitch. I don't know if you're still seeing a vocal coach or not, but regardless, you need to find someone who starts you off on the basics of pitch and control. I know that might seem like moving backwards, but I have a feeling you and/or your vocal coach pushed you into singing very difficult songs before you were ready.  It'll be boring, but you will thank yourself later.

The entire time I listened to this latest video, I kept thinking, "this kid would be halfway decent if he was hitting the right notes and holding them". So please consider my advice and use this as a challenge to strengthen your voice where it's weak.

Agreed. it's obviously very little vocal control here and there are still pitch problems. i would scrap the reverb or any vocal effects until you have completely solved your pitch and vocal control. Also, as stated before, it would be better to start on songs that are within your ability to sing with control and with pitch. It's never a good idea to jump from the highest platform until you are comfortable with all the levels up to that point.
