Exercises and tips

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Very soon after I started posting videos. I got a request for help on singing from one of my initial subscribers. I put together a message for her which contained hints and tips that I had picked up over time. She got back to me, and asked me if I could make a video about it, because the information might come in handy for other wannabe singers.

Once I’d put together all the info, it led to me making 3 vids about it, because of the 10 minute limitation on Youtube. I tried to balance all the advice out into tips and exercises. All these would hopefully help to develop the vocals of those interested

Out of all of my videos. These ones have been seen the most. All together they’ve had over twenty three thousand viewings up to the date I posted this. They are currently getting several hundred views a day.

There have been a large number of comments already, and I’m glad to say that most of them have reported that they found them very helpful. If singing is something you are thinking about doing, then I hope that these videos can provide you with some useful tips.

Singing Travis

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Now to another band I admire for releasing a string of good songs. They are “Travis”.

“Sing” was the song that I did as my 10th Youtube vid.

It was a top ten hit in the UK for Travis in the summer of 2001. The fourth of 4 top 10 hits in a row.

One of the things that turned me on to Travis was the guitar sounds they used. Quite tinny in places, but they managed to balance it quite well with the bass.

On to my rendition. Check out my version of “Sing” below:

I have done one other Travis song on Youtube, so far, and plan to do a few more in time. That’s likely to be well into the future.

I’m sure I’ve got loads of others to go between :)
