New Recording

[_Dr. Shades]

I've been working on a technique to be more in control of my vibratto, . . .

Wait a second. . . are you implying that vibratto is involuntary?

I'm not really into metal, but it would be interesting to hear the vocals you mentioned. If you've got a YouTube link, I'll listen. ;)

Sure thing...

Stream of Passion - Out In The Real World (Live), one of the songs they played on their Live In The Real Wold tour. Stream of Passion - Stream of passion, video from one of the tracks on their "Out In The Real World" album.

Ambeon - Cold Metal, not an actual video, but a good song of therirs. Ambeon is chilled symphonic dancy metally stuff with female vocals. Really good for chilling out to.

Nightwish - Ever Dream (Live), Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away (Led Zeppelin cover). Nightwish is just pure symphonic metal and Tarja Turunen is probably one of the most tallented vocalists in rock/metal period. To bad the rest of the band got pissy about her success as a solo musician. Tarja - My Winter Storm - Die Alive, this is her minus the dead weight. Yes, she wrote the music as well.

Yes, vibratto is involuntary. If you are singing correctly, you will have a natural vibratto based on the airflow moving from your diaphram and the space you are creating for the vocal chords to produce sound.

My vibratto is naturally on the slower side, so I have to consciously speed it up so that my tones sound even, and not flat or sharp. Everyone's vibratto is different. The trick is in being able to control it, and control it correctly, without putting improper pressure on the chords.

As usual, very nice Liz :)
...probably said it before, but I think you're very good at getting expression into your voice... You sound like you 'believe' what you're singing...

The odd pitching issue, but barely noticeable really. Overall, very good.

The recording wasn't really that bad - I didn't think. I guess it was a couple of mics in a cultural-hall type room? Maybe even one if you were close to the piano. Kinda sounds like it. It's not like it was meant to be a studio recording...

Huh, how 'bout that. I have never, ever had a vibratto, so I always figured people were doing it on purpose.

The reason you don't have a vibratto is because you are not singing with your full breath capacity. If I worked with you, we would find it. ;)

This is a piece I've been playing with.

"I'm Not That Girl" from "Wicked"

Sounds good, Liz. I'm impressed. We should have a Shady Acres talent show sometime soon.

Liz,

That was totally awesome ! My favorite out of all the ones you've posted. A slight bit of polish and it would be a professional recording.

Gaz, the new singer for Nightwish is ok, but she doesn't have anywhere near the vocal ability or musicianship of Tarja. It's like when Van Halen replaced Sammy with that douche from Mr. Big. Yeah, the rest of the band was still there, but it sounded like crap.
