Excellent! That is a great song and one I've tried to sing many times with no success so I'm very jealous right now!!Laugh

It's that opening note..."born." Great job Adam.

You're a very good singer Smile

Some things I noticed:

0:53 "afraid": I'm unsure what sound you're going for here... If you wanna go more for the belty sound you should ground yourself more and give it more energy if that makes sense? Otherwise you need to close the vowel toward "ih". That should also fix the pitch here (you're a little flat).

1:23 "go": Maybe the vowel is too closed here and needs to open a bit more?

I might be wrong but it sounds like you are doing the exact same melody line and runs as Sam Cooke. I would like to hear you change it up some, surprise me! Also for this type of song I'd like the vocals to be more wild, bluesy,... a greater use of dynamics maybe?

Thank you so much guys. Sexy beast, I hear what you are talking about with the word afraid. I will close down more on the vowel.

I did, however, try to change up the melody of the way Sam sings it. I changed things mostly at the end though

@Sexy Beast: Just updated the link (you can use the same link to get the updated mp3). I fixed the issue you pointed out with the word afraid.

Let me know if you think it works better.
