Rough recording I sang on my way home bc I wanted to record the placement I had just found while singing along to the OG song. Song is “be my daddy” by Lana Del Rey. (Unreleased).
I think this brings out my curls so much more! Both are air dried with rizzos curl cream
I feel dumb as a rock. How did I not know this before? Did you guys also already know? * I thought it was just a play on words like “yeah, you” but with dramatic pronunciation*
This recording I am actually singing with the original key and tempo. I know it sounds off when I I say “town” and “get out” I feel like I just run out of breath on those parts- it’s pretty fast paced!
Ignore my lisp i usually don’t have one don’t know what’s up with that lol
As per the request on my last post, another cover…. I feel like maybe I sound a little bit too babyish here but I was trying to emulate the same sound Lana used
This is my current hair and what I want to turn it into. Since it’s just one solid color, I figure it’s cheaper to do it at home. Since a lot of my hair is already very light- should I avoid high lift color? Any recommendations as to achieve that auburn are appreciated, as you can see my roots are a good bit darker than the rest of my hair.
I LOVE Yayo. Will sing this song day and night… late night drives listening to the AKA version are superior
I like this now but when I come back in a couple hours and listen again I know I’m gonna hate it, so this may get deleted like my other post lol. Let me know what you think
The name of this song is actually “Yayo” by Lana Del Rey, not the title lol. I think I finally found the placement I want for this song. I think before too much air was coming out of my nose- but let me know if you still hear too much air through the nose. Also, don’t mind the timing, was just playing around and trying to feel the notes.
I’m pretty sure I have GERD, but I don’t have health insurance, so going to the doctor is kind of difficult for me. Most of the time I have a bit of phlegm in my throat, but sometimes it is worse than others. When I have more phlegm than usual, it’s definitely hard to stay on pitch and direct airflow properly. Should I avoid singing entirely when the phlegm is more present than usual? I do drink a lot of water throughout the day, I’d say 80-100 ounces? If anyone also has GERD that causes phlegm/ post nasal drip- let me know if you have any tips for when it flairs up! I do have a steamer as well but I feel like it’s not super helpful.
I never post my louder singing like in this clip. I think I got a little pitchy at the very end but overall I just want to know if this sounds too strained. It felt fine when I was singing but I usually don’t sing like this bc I’m either singing in my closet or my car since I don’t have anywhere else to practice.
Okay so the last time I posted this cover the top comment was I need to work on breath support. If you saw the last post can you confirm that this is more breath support than the last recording? My vibrato is not so good today because of phlegm but I just want to know if this is more supported than the last video
This song does something different to me.. I literally can play it everyday and not get tired of it. I love the slightly jazzy quality to Lana’s voice, the simple guitar chords, just everything about it. I have already listened to all of Lana’s discography and I wanna say most of her unreleased discography (but there’s always new ones popping up). So probably if you have a song from a different artist it’s more likely that I haven’t heard it. (Yes I have heard “Raise me Up”, “Pin Up Galore”, and all of the Lizzy grant era songs that would be similar to Yayo. Let me know if yall have recs!
(They are in the same video) I’m just refining the tone I want for this song and need to know which direction I should go in. Was leaning more towards the second clip but I listen to myself too much and just go deaf to it.
Still working on the pitch here as this is a new song for me.
I can’t really hear the vocal effects that my mixer adds when I have background music added, only when there is no background music. If anyone knows what to adjust on my mixer to avoid this it would be appreciated! I want more reverb for this song since the OG has a lot of vocal effects. Feedback is also welcome on this. I probably need to start using some post processing app but it’s nice to hear the effects while singing it live.
I sing a lot of Lana Del Rey and tend to mimic her a lot just because that’s how I gauge if I have correct placement/ staying on pitch. My friend said I should venture into singing other artists but I find myself just mimicking the original singers placement as seen here in this Evanescence cover.
This is my creative title to try and get more feedback lol. I actually really like the way I sound here but it didn’t get as much engagement on tiktok as my other covers. Though, it is a really niche song so maybe that is playing a part also. I have note missed here and there but overall I think I did well with pitch
So the original song during this part is a LOT more breathy, but I want to sing it with a little more support like shown here ( if you’ve heard the original song you know it’s pretty breathy). Immediately I can hear issues with pitch, other than that, do yall hear any other issues? I think the pitchiness is just due to phlegm as I was having to clear my throat between takes. I really like the first “pretty when I cry” then it kinda just goes downhill from there. Please leave any tips & feedback!
