I already technically uploaded this on a thread, but I wanted to try it here on my blog and see which one people prefer.

 

(Thread here http://mlpforums.com/topic/108680-zygens-cover-attempts-and-thingys-thread/ )

 

So, I won't ramble on again (yay) so straight to the point, read the thread if you want to see some of my ramblings, otherwise here ya go!

This is one of two recordings I uploaded, I'm unsure which is my favorite, so try one, or both, and tell me what you think!(Warning, to much exposure to Zygen's singing may lead to unidentified side effects, listener discretion is advised.)

Enjoy! Atleast I hope you do

 

And feel free to tell me what you think! I know I need a lot of practice, so don't feel bad to let me know!

You're trying to hard man, you sound a bit tense, for some reason, but in anycase it makes me grin to hear your voice! :P

Yeah, I think that's a technique issue, it's difficult to get all the strain out of my throat. I'm gonna have to work on that.

I think that you're doing great! But since you asked for honest responses, I do have a few suggestions.

 

My first applies mostly to Cover 4, in which you sounded very enthusiastic and passionate, but seemed to stretch a few of the notes out longer than they needed to be. And yet it was very enjoyable and cheery nonetheless.

 

I think Cover 3 was the opposite. You hit all of the notes almost perfectly, but sounded as if you weren't enjoying it as much. (I'm not sure if this is true.) Just remember to have fun singing yourself or the audience might not feel as into it.

 

Overall I think that you have done a very good job, and please remember that I'm not like a voice expert or anything. XD

I can kinda hear that, and agree with you there. I think that's why I can't really decide which ones better, because they both have separate issues. 

 

For cover 4 I think I was more focused on the emotional aspect of the whole thing, and getting the feel of the song, more so than the technical aspect of hitting the notes. 

 

Cover 3 I think I was more focused on getting things technically correct, but maybe due to focusing on that more I wasn't focusing on the emotional impact as much.

 

I can agree though, after listening through some. 

 

I guess I just have to get good with remembering to not just focus on one aspect, but all aspects of singing, I kind of have that issue with doing a lot of things, where I can focus on one thing, but something else ends up suffering as a result. 

 

I guess I just need practice, hopefully it'll come with some practice and a few conscious reminders.

 

And thanks, I appreciate your analysis, really i do! It's very nice to hear that you took the time to note anything about one cover, not to mention both, so I thank you for it! 

 

You do not have to be a vocal expert to provide an analysis, heck, even though i've been practicing a little while, I am still far from knowing everything, and some things i may just simply not notice. 

 

So even if you can't say something like "Oh I think your E flat here was 10 cents sharp" ect ect, anything you feel like you want to say is still helpful. Even simply commenting on the emotionally impact, kinda like you did, because singing, and music in general, is very emotionally based, and if i'm not making you feel something, there's an issue ;p.

 

So long story short, thanks for the feedback :D.
