Hi all,
I've been playing guitar for a few years and have only recently decided to start trying to sing. I'm really into City and Colour at the minute, but all the vocals are sang at quite a high pitch, I'm not sure if I can pull it off heh.

Could you please give me your complete and utter honest feedback? I've been asked to sing and play at house parties before but have always been too scared to sing because I honestly have no idea how I sound. If I sound absolutely woeful then do tell me!!

Here's a link, it's just a short piece of a song:

Let me know if the link doesn't work for you. Please do be critical about what you hear!!

My opinion that was really good, you have nothing to worry about!

[MHRed]

Definitely good enough to whip out at housepartys mate!

[Mishmashmoo]

I'd be very proud if I were you. Don't be afraid to sing in public, I'm sure most people will be impressed

[Spairos]

I am sorry I have to say this, but you asked us to be completely honest.
You are very good at it.

[Wake1988]

Wow.. thanks for all the positive comments. I really.. REALLY didn't expect that.

Haha it was a City and Colour song I was singing! I guess that's a good sign :O.

The higher E you sing sounds a little flat to me.
However, it's a kinda high note in that register so it should sound better with practice.
Notbadtho.

I thought you played the guitar very well for your first ever time

For a first time that was pretty good! Singing while playing is hard so you've done well. Your voice is a little bit flat; but I suspect that's due to nerves more than anything. It's good though; make sure you realise that

[Leighcakes]

Sounds wicked.

[tamimi]

Your Es are a tad odd. I think it's your upper limit. Try singing in flat notes next time, you may find it more comfortable.

Aside from comfort, that was really good.

The guitar playing wasn't awfully intricate - Definitely could work on that but I assume you're more concerned about vocals than guitar so I'm not gonna go there.

Well done overall

[lcsurfer]

I think you sing a bit lower, instead of hitting the higher notes. but definitely a good start

[Aack]

I agree with a few people above - a tiny bit out of tune in some places, but on the whole it's not too shabby.

[karateworm]

I enjoyed it, very well done.

[You Failed]

Very pleasantly surprised! It was pretty good

Why would he be nervous in his room recording himself when he can just press delete and start again at any point


You said be honest - You sound a little whiney to me but fine for a party. You have a good voice I just think you need to practice.

[rj1990]

I think it's really good man, I will be honest. Got that coldplayish type sound to it and your voice is really good. I can't pick a big fault. Or even a small one. And did you write the song? try and finish it, it's got a good melody.
