Wow thanks for the honest review Owen! You really know how to go in depth.

Ok first things first, I made a few big mistakes before even hitting the record button. 1. I had headphones in listening to the track while recording and I think I had the music up WAY too high, which also affected my pitch perception. 2. I did not practice it phrase by phrase, like Phil mentioned and every new verse/chorus sounded like it caught me by surprise ( which is probably pretty audible too) before recording it. What you're hearing is my VERY first time singing that song. Its stupid to just think you can do anything without a bit of training and I guess I just got cocky here because I was feeling good by the time the workout ended. I really would've done better if I had just practiced the damn thing until I could sing it with my eyes closed. (well maybe not literally hahaha) I was honestly just seeing how this would go and I was curious on how I would sound doing someone like Elton. Well I guess for now its back the to yellow brick road for me.

I'm also used to singing songs that are either in full chest or have more of a gentle head voice sound. When it came to having a mixed sound, ESPECIALLY a lighter mix, that still has to have some degree of chest resonance in it, its a constant tug-of-war for me and you could hear that I was holding back at certain parts of the song (actually for most of the song that was the case) way too much and it sounded like I was struggling. NOT an easy one, that's for sure, and I underestimated this song.

As far as fatigue goes, I did sing for a little more than an hour in choir, but that was earlier in the day 12:30-1:45 P.M. I also did some Math for about an hour and a half after a late lunch (Rational expressions can go to hell ) and then I only took a little 30 min break after I finally got home before I started the KTVA workout. I worked on that for about an hour and a half on just chest stretching exercises (and to some degree, mixed voice workout because I was staying in my chest resonance until the very last note in the scale.) I then had dinner and another few hours went by and I was inspired by watching a lesson Ken was teaching and it was covering "Mixed voice application in the style of Mickey Thomas". I guess I was a bit tired by this point because it was around 8:30 a few hours after my workout ended, but at the same time, I was more pumped than fatigued physically because I felt inspired by watching the lesson.

Anyways thanks again for any other feedback, I really appreciate it. I'll just have to put more effort into practicing something rather than just expecting to get it right in one go (Gee what a notion)
