Nice Guitars

The solos where great. You need to work a little more on your voice. It needs more strenght. You have a very nice voice and if you work a little more on your style I now you could get even better results as you are now. I think the lyrics needs a little more strenght, specially on the chorus. But It was a very nice song.

Listen to kamelot. Roy Khan has a low voice like yours but he has more control and balance. Check it so you get what Im talking about.

Thanks for the honest review. You are 100% correct in your analysis of my vocals. A good analogy would be your spelling. You have great insight and honesty in your reviews but you lack the fundamental element of proper spelling. (And this even SHOWS any words that get misspelled!!!) LOL! I am way kidding, man! Really, I think that my vocals lack power for 2 reasons: 1. I don't sing from my diaphragm like I should cause doing that forces you to "belt it out..." (Hmmm... I wonder if that's where that term came from...?)
Reason #2 I believe is psychological. When I recorded the vocals on nearly all of these cuts, there was always someone within hearing distance and that really inhibits me way more than it should. I know that when the headphones are on, all anyone can hear is my voice and that just freaks me the fk out! I would literally have to be on a deserted island, hundreds of miles from anyone to be 100% un-inhibited to be able to sing with all of my might, heart and soul (and balls, of course). Or maybe in an iso. booth with someone that sings worse than me running the board...lol
Now, don't get me wrong, I still would not be able to really "sing well" ...that's just not going to happen, but I would be able to use what ability I do have to it's full potential. It's all in my head and that sucks.
