Hi guys,
I finally decided to put myself out there and post a cover that I sang. I know its a little cheesy (editing, etc), but that's what I was going for. I wouldn't take it too seriously. Any singers out there who can give me some tips? I have been a vocalist for about three years and have taken lessons for a few months now.

Thanks,
A10

I love it! You have a great future!

I'm taking singing lessons, butt i still have a long way to your level!

Yesterday all of a sudden old Gale looked like he had something very good, something sharp as a tack, to say to me. He sat up more in his chair and sort of moved
around. It was not a false alarm, it seems.

I sing. But only until someone tells me to stop.

I air-sing, air-guitar and air-drum. I'm one-man air-band.

In the perfect world, you would have all believed I was that guy. But that damn "Youtube" button. I spent like a half hour and still couldn't get rid of the link to the original video. Bah.

As you can see, Pavarotti was my vocal coach for a few years.

I suppose you meant "but"...

You look the part though, judging from your avatar.

Pay attention in English class. Read English fiction for inspiration (but never what everybody else is reading). Find a band. Write songs. Rehearse, but be careful with your vocal chords. Take lessons. You'll be storming the charts in no time.

Also, don't expect to be singing like this right away...

And we are noone to blame. You should be careful with the things you let inside your ears...
