The terrible vocal talents of Zygen. Featuring a Smile Smile Smile cover!


Zygen

2,089 views

Hey y'all! So i figured i needed to post something to my blog, and i felt like the best idea was to post some recording of me singing Terribly "Smile smile smile" i did while i was home alone for a little.

 

I sung like a dozen times, but eventually settled on two different recordings, i couldn't pick between the two, because both have problems in different places, so i just decided i'd post both.

 

So, without further ado, i shall give you some of my terrible recordings!

 

https://soundcloud.com/zygen/smile-cover-1

This one was actually my first recording i did, so i wasn't as warmed up, however it also meant my voice wasn't as tired, so it got better as it goes on mostly. Still has a few mistakes, and quiet in the beginning, but yeah.

 

https://soundcloud.com/zygen/smile-cover-2

This one was like one of my later recordings, so i was more warmed up, however i also had my voice tired a little more, and i get tongue tied a few times, but overall its a little more confident and smoother, for the most part.

 

I couldn't pick which, so i decided to post both, because like i said, both have flaws in different places, and fixed flaws in other places, so i just picked both.

 

So if you want, tell me which you liked better, or which you listened to before you had to run away to save your eardrums

 

hope you enjoy! I have another idea i'm thinking of starting on this blog, so i'll see what happens with it. Stay tuned for more!

Thanks :).

I don't quite know what you're talking about when you say 

that it's terrible!

 

It's quite good!

Well, it could certainly use alot of improvements, but frankly my voice was getting to tired to fix alot of the issues, so i just went with some of what i had.

 

Plus for some reason after singing the song multiple times i still forget lyrics xD, which is why i twist my tongue sometimes on it.

 

But thanks :).

It's still better than i can do!

 

I couldn't remember lyrics even if my life depended on it!

Well, i use to sound pretty bleh, i think looking back before I started trying to improve my singing sucked alot more, so i guess i've improved a good bit, still a long long way to go.

 

After hearing the song millions of times after hearing it the first time, then singing the song a whole bunch for practice, and singing it a bunch to get a good recording its not to hard :P.

Dude you actually don't sound that bad. Nice!

 

You have a unique voice, and it has an interesting kind of a 'ring' to it.

 

Well done man. Well done.

 

Have a Pinkie Pie

Very well done

Yay a pinkie pie! I'm gonna love it, and feed it, and make cupcakes with it, and uh, laugh with it, and uh... yeah :P.

 

Hehe, thanks, i still feel like the ring is kinda missing in alot of places it should, and sometimes my voice kinda dies off, but thats mostly due to allergies or something making me occasionally somewhat congested.

 

I've got a lot of work to do, but i'm glad you enjoyed! :D, i'll try and get some more MLP song covers out sometime, maybe better versions of this sometime to :).

I'm scared to play this. I'm not sure if my parents will wake up and ask what was going on in my bedroom. I'll post my reaction to them later.

Wow, you're pretty good! The only things that bother me are:

  • You sound kind of unenthusiastic. Speak up a bit! :)
  • Your voice fades out a lot.
  • You were off on the notes a couple times
  • It might just be your style, but there is a 'zzz' sound in your voice that I'm personally not a fan of. Are you raising your larynx? That helps a lot when singing. :P Not that I'm good or anything.

Sorry if this seems like a lot, but I'm really just trying to help you improve. Criticism and practice are the best ways to get better at something. I hope to hear more in the future! :D

Yeah even though i was finally home alone, i still get kinda shy sometimes, kinda quiet overall.

 

By fade out do you mean like the note kinda dies from lack of air? Or i just get quiet?

 

Yeah, i missed a bunch of random notes, more so when i get higher up, its not i can't hit them, its just where they are sometimes can make me miss them, some are a little difficult jumps.

 

Forgive me for my ignorance, but what exactly is the Larynx? and how would i raise it anyways? I've never had any actual vocal training really, i've just been running off what little i found laying around a few quick searches, and off of what seems to make me better, and well lots of random humming and singing :P.

 

You don't have to be good at something frankly to correct it, just have to be knowledgeable about it, i suck at drawing, but i still critique people in the art section :P.

 

Naw don't worry, I agree, criticism and practice are certainly the best ways to improve! I welcome critique! I don't get much singing alone anyways!

 

So don't feel bad, i appreciate the deep analysis you gave to help :).

I meant your voice dies out from lack of air. If needed, you could do seperate recordings and combine them in Audacity. :P

 

The larynx is the "voice box." It's hard to explain, but you have to plug your nose and sing/talk something. Then, adjust your voice until you stop sounding like Squidward. That's what you want when you're singing. It sounds weird, but you should figure it out. It's difficult at first, but after a week you do it without even thinking.

Oh, yeah there isn't a ton of breathing or stopping in the song :P, i thought about doing that, but i felt like it wouldn't line up correctly.

 

Might try it some other time dunno. At the same time I might just challenge myself to breath better to get through it :P.

 

Oh, ok, i tried plugging my nose with my hand and tried it, it is a bit akward feeling, but if it'll improve my singing, i'm willing to try and commit it to habit :).

 

I'll also maybe see if I can get anymore explanation or info on it, just so I make sure i've clarified everything. 

 

Thanks for the tip :).

It wasn't bad, but you were a bit flat. You have a bit of a buzzing sound to your voice, and it would probably sound better if you didn't do the talking sections that pinkie does. Your voice is now echoing through my mind.

Yeah, especially so on some higher notes.

 

I thought about not doing them, but i dunno, it almost didn't feel complete, that said it takes some extra breath for sure :P.

 

Yeah, i think i know what you mean, i think thats what swick was mentioning earlier. i'll try and fix that some with his advice.

 

:P, my voice is echoing through your mind eh? Does that mean your reading this in my voice haha?

 

Hopefully my voice stops pestering you soon :D.

Sorry if this is a year late, but.....................................that wasn't bad at all.  In fact, you have an incredible voice, :D.   How would you like to have the opportunity of putting your voice in a fan film?

Really? Thanks! And no worries, better late than never xD.

 

I have some newer stuff on my other blog if you want to hear some more recent stuff, that is better.(Well, i'd hope so after a year ;p.)

 

And by putting my voice in a fan film do you mean singing in one? Or voice acting?

 

I'm not much of a voice actor, especially since i don't do it that often. Just saying if that's the case.

 

Otherwise, I'll have to look at the details, but i'd be happy to if you'd like me to, assuming things can work out.

 

The issue is, I can only do vocal recordings like this when I'm home alone, which is kind of spur of the moment many times, so I just kinda have to see about when I get the chance to sing in the first place. 

 

But depending on the details, i'd be more than happy to help if I can! I love singing afterall :D.
