Rediscovered a song I love yesterday whilst walking to class. iPod's are awesome.Nothing Fancy by Dave Barnes

I did the first 2 verses with the track and then did the 2nd verse at the end, a cappella, for a pitch check.

Thanks xx
You definitely can sing!
Everyone can. Try adding more compression in your voice though, your kind of using a breathy tone all the time. I think you should vary it up a little bit.
This vid should help you:

Also, try expanding your range there are lots of free videos in SSO that deal with this.
Or try going to the m http://singingsuccess.com/vocal-tips m - and view "Brett Manning Live".

An elementary school classic.....
So this is a round that we used to sing in elementary school, some of you might know it. I was bored one day in school and just decided to record it. I got a kick out of it and thought that some of you might too. Its only like a minute long but it kind of drags. Just listen to the whole thing though cause the real payoff is at the end. hahahaha Let me know what you thinkhttp://www.box.net/shared/03ni3d6ljy

Simple. Made me smile. Loved it.
amazing stuff! Haha... I've always wanted to learn to sing in harmonies

Cheers and Happy New Years,

Nice song man, I checked out some of your other singing as well and it sounds to me like you're not really imitating anyone which is a good thing, very important for this type of music 
I can definitely hear some pulling up of the chest there but I'm sure you know that too, keep at the program and good luck bro

So now what?
I am extremely connected now, but I want to make my mix (which I think I have) thicker. I want it to be able to sound exactly like chest. Not sounding like a "yelly" mix, just like I started talking. Where do I go from here?m http://www.box.net/shared/ynqxd8j53r m
I think you sounded connected already in your clip. Go for it! CD 6
But CD 5 introduces vowel narrowing and vibrato, I suppose its up to you...
Hopefully the more knowledgeable and advanced singers here (eg Napilopez) will post in this thread and tell you their assessment.

Okay, I've done CD6, I'm not done with it yet though (I'm gonna try it for a couple more weeks, just to make sure).

singers advantage
hey all. ive been using seths singers advantage program and was wandering if anyone else has been doing the aah sound to close the chords (rather than doing whiny nays)? i was wandering if anyone has had success with the aah, because im stuck. im not pronouncing it right therefore the rest of the exercises are suffering. could some1 please correct me and tell me how to do the exercise correctly thanks

^ Brett takes Hayley Williams through a nasal "ah" sound in the first part of that clip... I think its a matter of what works for you. Personally the aid of a consonant [n], using nay nay helps me before doing more open sounds. But you can see Brett also takes Hayley through a nasal "nee nee nee" perhaps to really work out the pharyngeals in that clip.
If I'm not mistaken MASTERING MIX has that same sound in the pharyngeal CD, and on the same CD are different vowels and consonant combinations like nee, nay, even neh. And the "ah" should be pronounced as in the French "ah" in the word Croissant.

best product to discover head voice?
Hi, I am a beginning to intermediate male singer, and still haven't discovered my head voice. I am having a very hard time doing this. What is the best product offered at this site that can help me find my head and mix? Also, are there any exercises or techniques that you guys know of to encourage my head voice to, well, head?Many thanks
Hi there.
Welcome.
If you feel you're in the early to mid stage of your development, go for the original SS system. That will give you exercises to work on everyday, including Head Voice and Mix stuff.
I'm about to search for an old post of mine that goes into some Head Voice info, for you. I'll post it asap.
Ciao,
Umar.

Basically SS connects all the registers first, and even provides clear definitions for them in the Q and A section...
And there is an exercise in CD 6 of the program that is exclusively for head voice, and even provides alternatives like adding the [g] consonant if you are disconnecting.

help on bridges and mixed voice :D
hey all, i just got SS a few weeks ago, and i want to be clear about all the basics before i continue, because i don't want to develop any bad habits that i might find hard to change later on In the link below i have recorded myself singing two simple scales.
In the first scale i have deliberately 'pulled up' (or i think i might have done) in chest voice from G3 - G4. I'm a little unsure about it, because even though i think i am pulling up my chest voice, it feels as if the resonance is coming from both my mouth and my nose. I have experimented doing the nay nay exercises with this type of singing in order to match the same tone demonstrated by the male singer, but i would really like to confirm whether it is pulling up chest or a mix with a lot of chest pressure so that i know whether it is harmful or not. In this voice i can, with some tension sing up to A4.
In the second scale i transition from chest into my perception of 'head voice' from G#3 - G#4. You will probably notice that as i'm going through my bridge, my voice suddenly diminishes in volume until i reach the highest note. Is this flipping into falsetto before returning to head voice, or am i using falsetto all the way? At th moment this the kind of singing that i'm using to do most of the scale exercises from SS. Using this voice i can sing up to E5 (E above male high C).
[link removed]
I know i have written quite a lot for my first post
but i really want to know the answer to these questions so that i can be sure that i'm doing the ss program the right way. I also know that you guys also get these questions a lot (sorry for repeating them 
), but i've been looking through the forums and i can't seem to find the specific info that i'm looking for.How can i strengthen my voice when i'm going through my bridge so that i don't flip into falsetto, and my volume doesn't decrease?
and~
How can i find a mix between my head and chest registers so that it sounds just like a continuation of my chest voice, like the male singer that demonstrates the exercises on SS?
I've been hearing answers like 'it takes time for your vocal cords to develop strength' and 'use more breath compression' (which i don't doubt are false), but how exactly do i split my resonance between my mouth and head, or add chest pressure to my head voice to make it sound richer and like a continuation of my chest voice?
i'd really love to be hitting those Bflats, B's and tenor C's in a voice that sounds as strong as my chest voice and not a wimpy head voice that is distinctly different from my chest voice. (I know i'm a little ambitious
opsSo i'd really appreciate any feedback, tips advice or replies. Thanks soooo much, this means a lot to me

Info on Singing Success.
Hey there,I tried to post a similar topic but I dont think its worked but if it has I apologize.
I recently got the Singing Success program and Im just wondering how long I stay on a cd for before I move onto the next cd? And im just wondering if theres anything in this pack that covers breathing?
Iv herd that SS is amazing and im looking forward to getting more into it.
And if I wanted to train my ear has anybody got any tips on how to do that?
Thanks ever so much,
Ginger'Snapz
Auralia is a testing or drilling program. It will play sound(s) and ask you to identify them... and then tell you whether you are right or wrong. It can't diagnose problems you're having or coach you, but it can show you how well you're doing in certain areas of your ear training.

Regarding breath control.... Yes. There are extensive lip trill and tongue trill exercises on the first technique disc (these continue as warm-ups on subsequent disc) that are all about breathing. I think this make it fun and simple to learn and it's performed over ascending scales so it's also improving pitch. The Singing Success approach on breathing is exclusive to these routines which is the same you're likely to encounter with a Speech Level Singing instructor as this has carried over from SLS to SS.
Classic training tends to put a lot of emphasis on breathing techniques (I've heard some instructors will spend months on breathing before any singing can begin)... that approach is different than SLS or SS.
