  1. Hello meryA. I too am Turkish, so hosgeldin :) It is admirable to sing in four different languages. I'm sure you will find loads of people here who are both great at songwriting and willing to help. 

  2. From what I understand, there is a limit to the pitch you can sing strongly at before the 'head voice' kicks in. I don't know if you can increase that limit over time, but at this point, I'm struggling with just the transition. I'm practicing singing Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley, and it involves large pitch shifts over and over in the chorus. I am finding it very difficult. My voice sometimes squeaks as it tries to shift from the chest voice (I might be using the wrong terminology here) to head voice. Can you give me advice and tips as to how I can better achieve this transition? Are there any particular exercise that might target this skill? Also, is my knowledge on the subject incorrect or incomplete? I've always wondered if you can force yourself to sing at high pitches without shifting to the head voice.

  3. Hiya,

     

    My name is Mert Gunes. I'm 19 and a student in Manchester, UK. I've been playing the guitar for a while now and started singing too a few years ago. I found songstuff in hope of entering an environment that will motivate me to spend my time on music. I've written two songs of which one, Snowy Morning, I intend to share to start off. Other than that, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone here.

     

    Peace!

  4. Hey sfara,

     

    I love the song Nude. I used to listen to it on repeat all day for a while. Having said that, I really like your cover of it. The best part of your singing is the style. It was great to listen to a different interpretation of this song. The part at 3:37 is especially nice and, although contrasting to the way Thom sings it, successfully conveys the powerful feeling of the song.

     

    Going back to the beginning of the song, I think that you need to improve on hitting the right notes. Sometimes it deviates off.  For example the "and" in "And feel..." at 1:20 and the "any" in "Don't get any..." at the beginning are a little off. This is not really a big issue but it just needs a little more practice. Another improvement would be to sustain the words more at the verse. For example sustain "be" and "missing" in "there'll be something missing" a little longer. This would sound nicer.

     

    Still, overall this is great. I enjoyed listening to you with your nice style and subtle accent.
