Hey y'all! Its been a bit since i've posted in here, i apologize, i haven't had alot of time, and really haven't been as active with thinking of stuff to post here.

 

Of course, i had parent teacher conferences today, so i got out of school early, like mid day, and my parents where both working outside, my brother has parent teacher conferences a different day, so he is actually still at school even when i'm posting this, but anyways. I decided i'd record some MLP covers while i'm alone and so i did so!

 

I choose to do Celestia's ballad, just because it seemed like a nice song to do, and i dunno i just felt like it xD.

 

I recorded a bunch of drafts of it, and listened to each one, narrowing down which ones were best till i got to one that was the least terrible best.

 

So yeah, I don't have much else to say, Enjoy the song, and i'd like to hear what you think overall, be honest, because i know i am far far from being perfect. Especially seeing as i've never technically had official vocal lessons ;p.

 

I thought about putting instrumentals to this, and maybe even my Smile smile smile cover, or a new Smile Smile Smile cover, and Cover of this, and posting it on the forums and Pony.fm, but I think i may need to practice and Iron out things before i feel its good enough to be there.

 

So i guess for now its confined to my blog ;p.

 

Anyways without further delayed rambling, here is my cover of Celestia's Ballad!

Enjoy! if you enjoy hearing the sound of ruptured eardrums that is

 

I have a few ideas for blog entries, but i'm not entirely sure if i'll do them, I'll see though.

 

I guess thats all for now, see y'all later! And thanks for atleast checking the blog out!(Even if you don't read this :P. Or listen to the recording, or well um anything... xD.)

 

I'm gonna go play my newly obtained Luigi's mansion, on my (Mostly) newly obtained 3DS!

 

Hm.. maybe i should post thoughts or reviews on random stuff here... Decisions decisions decisions...

 

Then again i'm not really sure i'm a reviewy type person...

 

What? Oh i'm just thinking out loud... Wait your in my mind, which means i'm just thinking to myself...

 

Jezz, give me some privacy will ya? Show yourself to the door ya stalkers!

 

Hehe, kidding, later!

 

Edit: Sorry swick forgot about the alternate link, hopefully this works! If it doesn't i'll fix it when i get back, i'm about to leave for my dads for a few hours.

So majestic! :P But seriously, this is a huge improvement from your Smile cover. There's only a few things I have to be nitpicky about:

 

1. I suggest putting more emphasis on your consonants. Some of them were really, really faint. 

 

2. THAT ZZZZZZ SOUND YOU MAKE JUST MAKES ME WANT TO STAB MYSELF  You should try to cut down on the 'z' sound you make somehow. It's kinda distracting. :P

 

All in all, very nice. I'm pretty sure you hit all the notes this time, and I really like your voice. :D

Well, Swick basically has everything covered. This is certainly an improvement from your Smile cover, and you hit the notes very well. Very nice job here; just follow some of Swick's tips, and keep practicing.

Thanks haha, i find this song almost easier in some respects, its shorter which helps, idk ;p.

I'm not sure how much overall i actually improved but glad you think I improved atleast :).

 

And yeah, i do sometimes have very slurred and weird pronunciations of stuff especially while singing where i'm much more slurred. Even in speaking i sometimes have this issue.

 

as for the ZZZZZZZZZZ sound I hope it doesn't kill you that bad ;p. 

 

But idk, I'm not totally sure what exactly causes it, i think i know what you mean, its probaly slightly intensified by the recording and possibly the static, but I think i know what you mean, seems to come up more often in low notes, if i know what your talking about.

 

What its caused by exactly i'm not sure. It sorta sounds like my nose is vibrating or something, but i'm not sure, maybe air is escaping through there or something when it shouldn't, idk.

 

Maybe i'll try and search for solutions online, especially if it'll prevent a murder ;p.

 

And thanks haha, i think i hit most of them, i may have been off on a few, and i know i wasn't in tune the whole way, but I luckily atleast mostly got the ending note before i fell of it.

 

I appreciate the critiques aswell, always nice to hear since it helps me improve.

 

And thanks haha, glad you like my voice, even if i'm not super hip on it alot of times myself ;p.

Thanks, glad you think so :)

 

And yeah the notes feel a little less jumpy, in "Smile Smile Smile" theres alot of jumping around range, everything feels a little easier to get to here, plus its a shorter song so my voice isn't as tired by the end.

 

And thanks, i'll try to, aswelll as maybe look for some solutions to the ZZzzzzzzzzzz stuff. 

 

I'm hoping to do more for sure, possibly improving recordings of these, possibly adding instrumentals, and doing different MLP songs aswell.

 

Heck maybe i'll even do some non MLP stuff for the hay. :P.

 

I do enjoy singing regardless, even if I don't think i'm anything special at it ;p.

 

Its glad to hear y'all think i'm making progress, helps me not get discouraged.
