hello my first OM post!! **call me** !!!!!

[soft]

actually, it is more of a personal standard thing.

for example, i dont know much about guitar stuff. so when people say this guitar is good or bad, i just look at the guitar and say, "ya, it is nice" or "i prefer it in pink".

for those who want to comment, go ahead. if you want to input technical stuff, better still. again, different people got different knowledge and thus the comments.

remember to do so in a polite manner. that's all i ask of yyyoooouuuu......

I am not being mean or what, but I do believe in honest opinion.

First and foremost, I dont know what you are singing about. Your diction is not clear and you tend to mumble

Secondly, your pitches are all over the place.

I hope that you take it in a positive light. Some may say that this is a "reality check". Which ever way you may want to see this, at the end of the day, you can still make improvement. That is what matters. In maybe ten years time or so, one day if you do become a big star (which I believe you can) , you may look back and see these constructive criticisms as your turning point.

:goodman:


my goodness, petrina it's okay! im a vocalist too.you know what, you actually do have a nice voice, but you really are over doing it on the technique. dont slur your words so much, and that twinge you do with your voice
*- twinge
colour me your co*lour, baby

it really doesnt sound nice, and honestly that's the most unpleasant part of the song. if you want to continue voxing, get rid of all the slurs and tweaks you do with your voice and just sing the notes. the technique comes with feeling, dont force out awful twinges like that.

because i really hate to see someone who can sing in tune waste her voice just because her technique is godawful.

WORK ON IT, PETRINA, PLEASE! :smt023

 

[petrina_123]

well thank you everyone,i hope you did understand when i said earlier that i didnt agree with certain comments. The reason for that was the way they said it that make me not take them seriously,it was a bit harsh but im not hurt or anything. I will work on what you guys said and take the constructive criticisms to mind,thanks for some of the encouraging posts.
I agree that sometimes things should not be "sugar-coated" but you dont need to go over the edge either because when you do that people tend to think you just want to piss them off more than anything else.

Honesly thank you to anyone who took the time to listen or post,and yes I will post in OM again in the near future...

petrina, chill. You gotta remember its words without tone of voice... its too easy to mis-interpret, too easy to mis-understand.

Tell you what, if you have difficulty finding someone to do a backing track, i can do one for you. Just... make it an easy song.

@petrina - it took guts to record without any music. 1st OM?

pitching and breathing are strengths u really need to work on. a good vocal coach 'could' help you out.

if u plan to make music on a passionate level, start playing an instrument to enhance your pitching sense. you should learn to time your breathing, in between phrases, so that your voice delivery (velocity) is stable throughout.

usually young singers 'run out of air', due to badly timed breathing or they are just unaware of the technic, which in-turn invites bad/flat notes. good luck.

 

[Grinder]

absolute rubbish. NEVER sing again.

 

[killinghall]

Well, Grinder, that's the type of comment we should all avoid, because it doesn't really help anyone at all.

In my opinion, Petrina has taken too much of an emulative approach to the song, perhaps concentrating a bit more on how the song was actually sung and vocally styled.

Perhaps FOR A START, you should just sing it the way your head tells you too.

Also a no-no for a newbie to sing without a backing track because it just throws you off balance in so many aspects. Timing is one. Pitching is another. These were inexistent. And they're probably the most crucial aspects in delivering a song well. If the idea was try to do a form of acapella, then there is some serious poor deviation here.

EDIT: Just realised who Grinder was, the fella who posted here:

Petrina, you can ignore his online persona. He doesn't seem to come in here to bother with helping nowadays - post to slam then never returns to clarify anything else, even on kind invitation to continue a discussion.

Can you & I say trolling?
