Viridian Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 *pokes all of TDN* I started a new channel on Youtube, which is meant purely for singing. I will be doing random songs, disney songs, land before time songs. You name it. A chance for me to show off and for you guys to hear my voice :) I can't upload more than 2 vids in a post, so there you go. You'll just have to visit my channel ^^ I started of with the song 'Hallelujah', which I just had to try after I heard my aunt, mom and cousin sing it. Feel free to listen to it (don't forget to thumb up & subscribe if you like! :D) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R9i2sIP8N4 The second song I uploaded to this channel was one I really like myself. I failed a bit at the beginning of the song, but the rest is decent to listen to :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_zQ_zJoqTM I would love to sing some more during the holidays. I will take requests too (limited) :) Requests so far: 1. FF VII - Eyes on Me 2. One Republic - Mercy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornflakes Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 :D Here's Maria Callas singing it: I can't locate an instrumental version for some reason, even though there are tons online. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 If you manage to find an instrumental, let me know :) Haha, I don't know how well my voice is at operas, but I'll try my best right, ;)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livvy Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 That's neat, Viridian! I should do that so I don't bore the poor watchers of HeyTDN. Unless... you wouldn't mind another voice on your channel? Here's an example: (Skip to 3:30 unless you want to watch me bumble through an introduction and talk about cats. Oh, and please look at something other than me. I look like an idiot through the entire thing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 ^I really want to sing that song, Livvy. You did really well :D I wouldn't mind doing a collab :king: I did another song :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_jzQSL3vOQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Wow Viridian, you actually have a lovely voice. Nice job on the music videos, keep up the good work! 0:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Oooh I so loved Angels! Haven't heard that song in forever and a half! If I may make a request as well, I would love to hear you sing 'Eyes on Me' from Final Fantasy VIII :laughingsmiley: I adore that song and game so it would be nice to see someone else sing it ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 ahhh I love Angels!!! Good job!! :D This thread reminds me that I have a few parodies to record...xD May I ask what you used for recording equipment? like microphone, program, etc. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I request this song because it's currently one of favourite songs. :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Lj4ECi4-g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks for the compliments and the requests, both of you. I'll put them on my list :D ahhh I love Angels!!! Good job!! :D This thread reminds me that I have a few parodies to record...xD May I ask what you used for recording equipment? like microphone, program, etc. :D I use a youtube downloader program (there are tons out there) to download an mp3 version of the music. Then I use Goldwave (free program) to record my voice. The microphone I use is built into my webcam (Logitech, about 3 or 4 years old) If there is something I *have* to edit out, I take multiquence. Then I put everything together in Sony Vegas, and render it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieJules Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I started of with the song 'Hallelujah', which I just had to try after I heard my aunt, mom and cousin sing it. Feel free to listen to it (don't forget to thumb up & subscribe if you like! When I read this I thought you were going to sing Hallelujah by Mendelson, lol. You sing very well :) Good luck singing Carmen, it can be one of the more challenging operas if you're not a trained mezzo soprano or soprano. Here is a video of Birgit Nilsson--one of the greatest Wagnerian Sopranos--that you might find helpful and humorous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paVQB8p7Dyw Oh, incase you where/are a Hey Arnold Fan this is funny and might be easier to memorize :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe9FMOAlXlE P.s. Livvy you video was very cute and I had to stop myself from singing along ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macadamia_gal Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 You're pretty talented ^.^ Not to come off as mean, seeing as I'm a newb and first impressions are in the making, but as far as constructive criticism goes, all I really have to say is that you'd struggle less with the high notes if you breathed more from your diaphragm and you'd sound a little stronger, which is important because we can't see confidence from your face, so as a viewer we need all of it from the singing. I struggle with the same thing. I'm an alto/mezzo, but I sing first soprano at my school, regardless of the fact that I can hardly sing high notes to save my life. Sorry, I go to an arts high school for musical theatre, I've become used to critiques :3 I couldn't help myself, but hopefully I've proved myself useful? Or you just think I'm a total jerk. Either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Don't worry! I'm pretty much as singing newb too, as I've never been trained or anything like that. I prefer constructive criticism over 'you suck!', really ;) And haha! Thanks for the advice, Angie! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macadamia_gal Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I meant newb as in on the forum, seeing as I didn't want to offend anyone (namely, you) by being a total stranger. I've been singing for over ten years, but with no real "training," unless acting/singing/dancing class, middle school chorus, and/or attending school for musical theatre counts. The middle hardly counts in comparison. And I agree, advice is much better than opinions with no reasoning behind them. Anything that helps another artist or myself to improve is welcome. I'm not really a believer in perfection, but I peronally like other people voicing their opinions in order to strive as close to that mark as possible.

AngieJules Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Your welcome Livvy. Sorry for replying so late. I think if you like to sing, and aren't planning on going professinal, it really doesn't matter whether you sound like Celine Dion/Maria Callas or whoever. Just be you and enjoy the ride ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 ^was that aimed at me? (Don't think Livvy replied on this topic twice.. ) And yeah, I will just sing for randomness :) I know I don't want to be a pro simply because I'm too shy to go on stage (or even show myself when singing, lol) Next video up! God Help The Outcasts, from Disney :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGQKmscHgTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macadamia_gal Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm planning on going pro. One doesn't attend high school for musical theatre if they don't plan on singing for a living. I've sang solo live in front of 3,000+ people before, so I'm not exactly stage fright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 That's pretty awesome. I wish you good luck on your conquest! :) My cousin wants to be a singer as well, she's going in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macadamia_gal Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 There really is no "right direction;" your success in the business depends entirely on the actions of opinions of other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
