I really find it difficult to forgive the blinkered and essentially bullying attitude of those school music teachers even today, to be honest.

10 - magical - a unique voice
9 - superb
8 - really good, obvious lead singer in a pro band
7 - good - like one of the best on the covers circuit
6 - alright - like most of the singers on the covers circuit
5 - not bad - hits most of the notes but forgettable
4 - needs some lessons/ practice
3 - king of the shower
2 - drunk singing / football chants
1 - clueless
0 - no
So, I reckon I'm a 5 on a bad day, 6 on a good.
So I'd say that if a 10 is exceptional talent and ability, then maybe you and I are similarly around the 4 mark for capability, but maybe slightly higher than that in terms of delivery if we stick within what we are good at? You're much better than me at hearing and hitting the harmonies below the melody (and have better technique), whereas I reckon I can get a bit higher, albeit with worse technique!
What do you reckon?
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYou have a higher range than me.
My "comfortable" range is indeed slightly lower than yours.
We both have relatively "normal" ranges - not particularly wide but not abnormally small
Given that, we can both pitch and hit a harmony line relatively easily, and realively accurately every time so, yes.
Revised scoring:
Range and dynamics: 4
Tone and pitch/delivery within range: 6
How does that sound @horse?
I can sing reasonably ok if I'm playing guitar at the same time. However, take the guitar away and any singing ability I may have goes completely out the window.
The bad is that it's awful.
The good is that I know.
If it's singing a lot of songs.
I can go for a full 10 on certain notes and I can direct my vocals in to a mic to sustain a note for a bridge in song. As well as use parts of my diaphragm to amplify but without training, that's all you can get back when I was a teenager...
In general my voice isn't deep... Today, I was 30 when I recorded these and I'm 30 now... I'm sticking to something very modest thought, like 1 or 2 (listening to me now) (2 being kind of generous)
I mean, like everything, practise is perfect, and this is not bad for my first ever run through from the top to the end, so... since this is my first ever take at trying to sing this thing...
I'm allowing it on YouTube as a learning tool, so, this sucks.. BUT...
As I say, practise makes perfect, should I practise, I I think/hope I can come back and do this better.
A sound only really appreciated by Leonard Cohen Fans on moggies and deep sea cetaceans.
A friend of mine who loves playing with production tried to get me to sing a track a while back and then spent days twidling through various plugins and autotune to try and make me interesting and in tune. Frankly it was as they say beyond economic repair.
When I got divorced 15 years ago now I was determined I would get better at singing so went and had an introductory with a local singing teacher very good she was but as she said 20 years of smoking a voice that at best sits around B2 and about an octave up on a good day she said even with a couple of years of discipline and practice it's just not a pleasant tone.

She was very nice about it ha ha
