Hi, I've finally gotten myself a myspace to "promote my music." I'm starting a new chapter as a singer, as I'm going into a studio soon to hopefully record.

I've been singing for about 1½ year, and I just turned 16. I've had no lessons whatsoever, and since i'm studying, I have no time for practicing at the moment =/
I sing about 1 hour a week due to my schedule.. On holidays, I would normally sing 1-2 hours a day! simply because I love it.

But enough about me, please comment?

Edit: "Ripped Apart" is my own song, and the rest is covers.

You have a lot of potential dude
Keep up the good work
I like 'the end of this chapter' by sonata arctica on that 4 sample track
Tony Rules m/

Thanks alot man! That means a lot coming from you, especially since I listened to your version of Gethsemane. I've always loved Steve Balsamos version, and your version might even be better!

And your falsetto(?) screams gets a 5-star rating. Man i wish I could learn to do that.

Why on EARTH would you do that? You have a computer at home, right? And a sound card? You can make studio-quality recordings with little more than that and a guitar FX pedal and a music sequencing program like Acid. This setup will save you a LOT of time and money, which you can focus towards promoting the music, practicing, and gigging. Full-blown studio sessions are a thing of the past, IMO.

I disagree , I don't believe anything beats a full blown studio recording done by professionals who have much better equipment and if your going to a good one will have someone there to listen in to exact details and how to edit and mix and have you sound that goes beyond what even an extremely good singer can hear.

However at 16 I would recommend doing it yourself unless you already got a record deal or something.

probably because he's not a professional producer... that is what makes a world a difference

Yeahyou can't compare home-recordings to studio-recordings. 2 different worlds!
I wouldn't say that I've got a record deal, but a friend who's a pretty successful musician here in sweden owns a studio and wants me to record a demo.

So that'll be an experience!

Hey Man, I like your voice. The grit on "ripped" was cool. Your clean tone is great too. Maybe check your pitches a little bit (I have to keep checkin mine too:)). Try the pitch wheel exercise in Jaime's book. Keep writing original stuff and keep gearing yourself to record in the studio. Cheers.
