Didn't really mean to be so late...
Life gets in the way at times....
Short but sweet, I can tell you have a real good range a little uncertain
about going for notes, a Secret well not really...Just pull back a bit from
the mic when your going for big notes...2 to 3 inches.. will do wonders...
As well you have a solid voice but when you go outside, your range it
changes everything, if you could stay inside it, there would so many, things
you could learn to do right there and would gain so much more control
in your presentation...
Keep it simple and feel good about YOUR natural dynamics... Be you... :-)

Peace...TG.

Off to a good start anyway. better mic for sure will help with sound quality. Izotope plugins work really good for giving tracks a really nice sound as well. Practice makes perfect, you got the singing part down for sure :D

Hey there, do you mind merging each instrument and vocal section with itself to create an audio track then copy and save it in a new song, do this for each section so that each section is its own mp3 send me each section of your song seperately so I can manipulate your song more easily piece by piece.

You can email me tracks or any questions at

Sounds like a nice little introduction! I'm not sure what capabilities Garageband has outside of recording, but if it comes with in tools like EQ or compression then they could help your voice sit better with this track and your other track. Also, you can disable downloads on your tracks if you don't want anyone to download them!

Hey Lyndsay,
singers are very welcome ,and your Voice is a great enrichment here at looperman,i agree with FR ,we need more Singers, maybe sometime we collab.
all the best,
DRO

First let me say welcome to Looperman. We can always use another great vocalist and I think you fit in that category nicely. You have nice control, great use of dynamics, and pretty spot on pitch. Probably the most impressive thing is you recorded this with a laptop mic.

One thing to remember when you buy a mic, most condensor mics require phantom power. Instead of buying a power source as well as a mic, you may want to research USB mics. Something like the MXL 990 USB Powered Condenser Microphone - $135 should work with your laptop just fine.

If you have access to a Guitar Center, Sweetwater, or other big store, go in and try out the different models and make sure the salesman knows what your setup is like....computer, software, etc. so you get the right mic for the job.

I think you have a bright future in singing. Do it yourself recording does require a bit of an investment as well as a learning curve, but there is an abundance of knowledge on this site that people are happy to share with you. Good luck.

Hi! You have potential to made some great tracks. Keep doing, BB. ;))

You Have a wonderful voice really. Don't worry this is just the beginning. Try recording your audio in some audio editing soft wares and correct it. Your voice is great. I love it. All the best for your great future :) Nice singing friend

it has great potential for an amazing liquid funk track in my opinion. or maybe more into the trip-hop direction.

what i can say for sure is that you should definitely follow this idea further and let it develop. i'd be more than happy to help in whatever way i can.
will be quite used to capacity soon i think, but i can usually make some time on the weekends.
looking forward to hearing more :)

wauw your voice !! it's really beautiful !! well you can email me at and i can explain the basic things but some of time are right your voice will sound perfect with a descent mic it doesn't nessecary have to be an 100 $ mic for 60$ it's also good you just need to know how to use it , most of the people are lacking with the skills so they buy expensive ones to record without mixing things LOL

email me and i will definetly explain it to ya

This is very nice beginning. You definitely have amazing voice, I can hear a lot of potential cause I'm still going on choir classes in music school, and though I'm not actually good singer, with time I learnt what good singer must have. I recommend you (just suggesting) to record acapella and upload it here. I think many artists will trying to make their music on it. I think you will hear how other people mix vocals and instrumental and that could be nice guide for you. Anyway, you have a lot of potential, I'll check your next tracks also and try to give you the most advices I can.

You asked me to listen and comment so here are my thoughts:

You've got a pretty decent voice, especially for pop music, though I guess it is a bit girly. I'd like to hear it backed by some fuller-bodied music to see how it blends in with bass and drums etc.

0:37 is a good held, wavering note.

0:46 vocal movement and tone.

Final held note to finish things off shows some power and tone.

The recording sounds pretty decent for a built-in laptop mic but make sure to get yourself a half decent mic. Not sure of prices (especially in the US, I live in England) but you'll probably want something costing around $150-$200. Maybe consider a Shure SM57 or 58. They're quite common mics. I have the SM57.

Also get a pop shield that is placed inbetween you and the mic. Do an online search to find out why they're useful.

Make sure you get your recording levels right so that your loudest singing doesn't overload the mic and introduce digital clipping (what is known as 'going into the red')as that's not a nice sound.

More another time, hope that helps a little for now.

Good voice, really good
You got something keep workin'
PEACE

Nice for a lil snippet, I'm sure you'll not be short of people who want to collab. We need more singers on this site so hello, welcome and well done.
FR

Hi there! I love your voice! You have some power behind it. I can definitely relate as far as the lack of 'professional' equipment as I also have garageband ha but that will all come in time. Looking forward to more :)

I really liked this song, you should check out some of my music and perhaps we could work on something, my stuff is outdated on here but I did just upload a more recent song. Great voice.

EFFFFFFFF yeah. fn love it right off. great tone texture thickness and chords. that is awesome. is a beat going to kick in?

oh yeah great vocal melody and such! get the autotune bleep out of it, cuz otherwise it is perfect and well crafted.

oh shit great hook !! damn can we work together? that'd be awesome!!!

Hey thanks so much for your comment on my latest track upload, I really appreciate it.

I think you are strong vocally, you have a sound to your voice that alot of musicians are using, especially in electro pop.

I think you have a good base for your song, I would try to put some reverb on the your current beat. Then echo the beat right at 0:21 seconds, remove the beat at 0:22 second to 0:25 seconds to give a dramatic pause and to allow the echo to be more prominent. Then, when the beat comes back in at 0:26 seconds add some a drum beat to add some depth to the song. If you would like I will download your song and give you an idea of where you could take this song.

I think that your voice would be complimented better with some reverb and echo effects rather then the autotune effect that you have used.

Hope this helps! Keep up the great work :)

I like what you did with my loop!
Good Job!

Good start.
Your first priority should be getting a good mic that you don't have to worry about overpowering.
I'm excited to see what you'll come up with!

Vocally very strong
And I like the tone of the keys
Looking forward to a more complete production
Nice start though
PEACE
