click, and then play :)





Would you say I am a frightening american idol contestant, ok, normal, good, or exceptional?





If you could give me some tips too, that would be greeatt.


i think it skips a little, and its a home-recording, so remember i really don't sound quite like that.

Is my singing ok???
I'm a classically trained voice teacher and i hear some definite potential.


The first thing you have going for you is that you have near perfect intonation even while singing a capella.


That means you sing in tune without backgroung music to hear at the same time. Most people can't do that.


That was a hard song to sing in tune.


You should record it again in a higher key. You may not like your high voice as well as your lower register, but it's easier for listeners to enjoy when you are right in the middle of your range. That was pretty low for you. Sounds really good though. Soulful. Bluesy. I wouldn't do American Idol, cuz they do pop and in my opinion you are not gonna shine in the pop arena. Folk, blues, jazz, etc. would tend to be your strong areas.


Don't give up. Get some lessons, if you haven't already.
Reply:let me put it this way as kindly as possible. don't let Simon embarass you. i would love to be able to sing really good, but i can't either
Reply:You don't have a singing voice, but you can try acoustic type singing, since this song you sang would sound great for singing with acoustic.





You don't have a voice that stands out, so really, it's in the marketing.





TIPS





Create a gimmick for your image. Marketing is 90% of being successful. (How do you think Britney Spears became successful without singing talent? She's a dancer!)





You are more of a Norah Jones type, and you can go far, just stick to what you know because you are not a Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera.





You have enough talent to make something of yourself if you understand what it takes.
Reply:Your ok,you should pratice more and by the way it does skip.
Reply:Your way better than I am!





And I suck hardcore!





All I can say thats nice is if you were singing in the car with me driving it would'nt hurt my ears.

Reply:no u wouldnt make it
Reply:Ok well not to be rude, but no matter how much times you post this it will never get chu' any better, So! what chu' gotta do is get to a good singing teacher, and go to church and pray about it.
Reply:Yes, you would sound very well with accompanyment. You should try it. The more you sing, the better you will get. Sing a song with someone accompanying you and put it on here so we can hear it.
Reply:Even if you make it to the judges, there's not much of a chance that you will make it to Hollywood. Sorry. You should always give it a try though.
Reply:dont audition for american idol...i dont think you would ever make it to hollywood
