Will you critique my singing the Star Spangled Banner accapella?

WOW! A poet and a singer and a teacher. You have so many talents. Your rendition of our national anthem was unique and wonderful. I had tears in my eyes before you even finished.

Wow! Kinda refreshing because a lot of people who post their songs on here are terrible! You are very good though. There were just a few times when you were off pitch and went flat, but that was due to the fact that you did not have enough breath support. Mainly on high notes is when I noticed this, because you backed off a bit and they were not as strong.

Make sure you take a deep, low breath from your stomach and not just your lungs. This will feel like you are tightening your abs and will give you much more support, a fuller sound, and allow you to hold those notes longer and stay on pitch.

I thought the echo effect was kinda cool though! :)

I've gotta agree with everyone else here - you've got a beautiful voice, just gorgeous!! There are a few pitchy spots but overall, not enough to detract from the performance in my opinion. Finally, I'd really love to hear this unedited (no reverb or anything). I'm sure your natural voice is more beautiful than the computerized version!

You definitely have the vocal techniques down. I can tell that you are articulating and opening your mouth wide enough. I hear vibrato which is amazing! A few pitch problems, and that could be due to not focusing the vocal cords enough or maybe trying to push your voice to do things it isnt ready for. Overall great job. I would decrease the echo effect though just a little, you dont need it.

Youre better than me but i hope i was somewhat helpful. Here's mine if you wana return the favor.

Critique:

Time for some professional mentoring -

Not to worry about flats and sharps, that's

all easily worked out. But man, oh man,

don't hide your light under a bushel any longer,

dear beloved of God. Betwixt your verse and your

voice is a powerful ministry, GET OUT THERE

NOW, POLISH IT UP. Oh, sorry that's my

enthusiasm. Didn't mean to go from critique

to pushy......

Semp, I felt like I was being hugged the whole time.

Your love and heart really come through.

Your family is blessed with you.

Happy Jesus' Birthday to you.

You go boy.

Thanks for the Q :)

maybe two slightly flat notes, but hardly noticable. If it were me, I'd lose the phaser/chorus effect, and tone down the reverb.

Overall, pretty professional singing voice. Good enough for any national sporting event.

You can certainly belt out a song, and one of the most difficult to sing.

Dude, not only are you a POET, but you are Teddy P, Luther, V., Joe and a whole lot of dudes wrapped up in one. You are a definite singer, you've got it going on!!!! Loved it, it was a tribute plus!!! It brought tears to my eyes!!!! I left you a message for you to hear!!! LOVED IT!!! You should be singing your poetry!!!! You are one talented dude!!!!

Peace & Love :)

Wow! Not many would attempt that acapella, & even fewer could

pull it off.

Good job, Semper, good job.

You did good, but you will find an 11 second response of dead silence. for some reason my untested microphone circuit didn't work.
