Again, another hard ass Freddie song that i attempted to sing, while i need to improve very much ,
i think it turned out alright :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q71fblDv-oM
A step up, although you still need loads of work. Your voice is still lacking in full body. Thankfully nearly no sheep phrasing to be found, although plenty of flats here and there however. Couldn't help but notice a bad punch edit point at 0:36 as well.
I'll give it a 3 out of 5, mainly for effort.
Thanks! Yea i know about the lack of full body thing but i don't know how much that is due to my mic, frequencies etc but ill figure that out! But ive only been singing for almost three years
so it's still alright considering that. I think i have the range in the end.
The chorus is really great. The other parts need working on, but you've improved one hell of a lot from what I remember from your last cover.
You also sing from your nose. It sounds nasally, but it's ok. I have the same problem, and it's not easy to get rid of. It takes lots of practice. You need to think about breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Do not breathe from your mouth when you sing. Sing from your mouth, not your nose.
I know it sounds stupid, but these are all just tips I use for myself.
Keep going!
Inu: I agree. But also again with the microphone thing, its like when i just sing out , not into the mic , my voice sounds full but when i sing into the mic it only captures the High part of my voice and not the whole thing if that makes sense? That makes it sound very light.. I don't know if its the mic or if i need to play with freqeuncies, it's hard cause you have to know what ur doing when ur doing it all by ur self.
Mad: Thank you! I think i know what you mean about the breathing stuff and im gonna try what u said and see if it works. Did that work for you? One thing ive learned is to not think too much
when im singing, for example if there is a huge high note coming up, to just "do it" instead of thinking "damn, this note will be high" , that helped me hitting those notes.
"its like when i just sing out , not into the mic , my voice sounds full" << Are we talking in an aural sense where you're hearing yourself as you perceive it?
Like when i hear myself and even whebvothers hear it, it sounds way more full but when it gets recorded it only captures the high part of my voice it seems like.but i dont know how much of that is due to the frequencies that one can adjust, cause that can heavily affect the sound of the voice,even so it sounds more nasaly or more open.
Thank you Mouse! Yea i need ALOOOOT of practice, im at the begining stages still. I need to build my voice much stronger and only then can it sound good. Yes those notes are quite high but you should not give up on trying to hit them man. It's all about practicing and wanting to hit them. Sure you also must have some range too. What do you sing Mouse? What do you practice to?
Well, I try to sing some of Queen and some of Michael Jackson (no, not trying to impersonate him). But really just messing around a bit. Not sure if that can be called a practise :D For me it's hard though, because I've hardly sung in my life and I don't think I have a talent.
Mouse: In my oppinion, those are the two best artists to sing after cause i think Freddie is the best and Michael is not too far behind him. Well i hadn't sung in my life either just three years ago. Can you hit notes? If yes? Then you can work at it.

I don't think so. I usually just crack badly and tone is really shitty. And it doesn't really sound like singing but more like screaming xD I can show a couple of bits but it won't be a pleasant listen :D Quality is shit because of this cheap mic I have. Pretty sure I won't be a singer. Some bits might be too gritty, I don't know. https://soundcloud.com/mjjlatvia/prepare-your-earholes
That didnt sound all that bad. You should just keep practicing and you will get better. Think its just about getting the knowledge on how to control your voice and when you figured that out (by testing out various ways for yourself) it will sound better. If you think its fun then you must continue on singing no matter what anyone says.
Well everybody that hears their own voice at the begining hates it, i think mainly cause it sounds a bit different than what your used to been hearing all your life in your head. But i think that as soon as you get used to hearing it as it sounds on recordings, you won't get bothered with it anymore. Also again, EQ-ing (a thing im figuring out myself right now) affects the sound of ur voice hugely.

For me it is quite a struggle to go high. I mean when I do it is really strained and almost cracks (if it hasn't cracked already). Because I try to go as high as I can, but even that is quite low considering how you for example hit those high notes. I also have a bit of problem adding slight vibrato when I go high (except for falcetto).
With EQ you mean post-processing equalization?
Yea it was a struggle for me to but i kept practicing it and now its much easier (still quite hard though) but at least better than before when it seemed impossible. It's like a muscle and its possible to train it stronger.
Yea i mean post equalisation in the recording program.
