Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright, my boyfriend is planning on becoming a singer (it's a type of art o3o) and he doesn't think that he can make it. People keep looking down upon him. So he recorded a sample of his singing not that long ago. I told him that he sounds great, but needs to work on controlling the tone of his voice 'n such. It's his dream to become a rock singer :3, and I don't want his dreams to be crushed. So what do you guys think??? Do you think he could make it if he practiced hard enough???

Warning to those of you that are about to click the link above. If you aren't a huge fan of rock or music in general, then please don't click the link. He has a high toned voice, and I only want fans of rock and music to listen to it. It's also hard to hear what it is that he is singing to (I'll have him record some more). But you can clearly hear his voice in the video.

I would of posted this outside of the guild, but you guys are MUCH better at critique than some other people out there.

So please, comments, suggestions for him??? :3

Okay. I agree with the previous poster, its actually pretty @_@

I did notice that he has the voice for singing.
Its just that he needs a better choice in songs and needs singing lessons (mostly on identifying notes and tones).

He chose a song that requires the singer to have a loud overwhelming voice, meaning he had to force his voice to reach that level. (You can hurt your vocal chords like that sad )
Also, he has to remember that recorded songs are edited, the singer usually doesn't force their voice like that. They sing it normally (in a way they can be loud without ruining their voice), then the voice is edited to sound louder.

If he wants to practice on his own, then get a song editing program and slow down the songs so he can hear the different notes/tones in the song.
Have him practice it like that over and over and later try it at normal speed remembering what he practiced.
