hay khv i have a little music project called "Nitelites" and the rough version of my first recorded song is finally out. Here it is: [video=youtube;5fonhUoLJ08]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fonhUoLJ08[/video]
Well.....that was...interesting? I thought it was kinda cute, though. I could go on a huge critique tangent, but you didn't ask for it, so...yeah.
it's only a rough version so go for it? in the final version then i can make changes and stuff, so i'd like the critique.
Well, sure thing. The vocals weren't really that on par with the song in some parts. It's like your vocals slip up and aren't that in touch with the song. There's also the nasal thing; the vocals sound nasal and not so clear because of it. I'd really like to see what you with the song, but you really need to work on your vocal performance. Also, the guitar hiss is really noticeable, thought I suspect that this won't be a problem in the final version. On a personal note, layering vocals isn't something I like when you're in an acoustic setup, or with very few instruments. Unless you're harmonizing, of course.
I liked it very much. ^_^ You way want to up the volume a bit on the final, though. It was a little bit hard to hear.
Beware of Chev, he has pooped on like 60% of my iTunes library. :c But anyway, I think my major problem is that your singing is a bit monotone. Vary it up a bit, use some passion in your voice. You don't necessarily have to be a "good" singer to do this, you just have to feel it. Look up the song "Amy in the White Coat" by Bright Eyes. Conor Oberst is by no means a good singer, in fact I'm pretty convinced that he couldn't sing very well at all when that song was recorded (but he's improved!), but part of what makes it so interesting and evocative is that he feels the song, you know?
Sometimes, when Im bored and it's 12 am, I make up lyrics and it's funny because the words come out like that. It's freaking funny because I don't even try. Just come up with words.
I'm not an excellent singer but also I kind of had a cold that week and my voice is not cooperating as of late. I don't want it to seem like I keep making excuses or anything, but I can sing much better than the demo. I'm glad you guys brought the subject up, though, because I will definitely work on that in the final version. Thanks everywunn (:
I haven't seen the need to, poop on more poop still equals poop. Yeah, I went there. Still, much as I hate to admit it, the country song thingy Misty recommended ain't half bad.
You know who else has pooped? Two girls. Can you guess who they are? I'll give you a hint, they shared a cup.
