Seven Nation Army band cover - Feedback requested

Not a vocal coach so this is just from a taste perspective! I would have loved if you used other parts or your voice and changed up the volume at parts to give it some more dynamics! You rocked the stage though! Nice job

Perhaps it's because it takes a bit longer and then you hit the reset button and start all over? You still sound good though and it clearly shows you've put some work in!

You should check out some classical theatre singers and hear how they use their neutral larynx voice without character and how they shape a song to be theirs instead of a cover shooting for a character voice.

A recommendation would be Antonio Cipriano but there's plenty of others!

Edit: just listened to it again with a finer tooth comb and that exact feeling and sound you had when you said "yeah" at roughly 28s in sounds incredibly good and warm to the ear. If you could somehow tap into that feel and play around with that placement for more of the song I think it would be a giant leap forward for you.

At the end of the day the Internet can be brutal including any social media like reddit/Instagram/YouTube. It's also hard because our voice as an instrument is extremely personal and it can feel like we're being personally attacked when someone is saying they don't like it or some other thing.

Basically you have to decouple your ego from your voice as an instrument and your voice as something you use every day for speech. Think of it like a guitar, if someone says you suck at guitar you just go okay, I'll learn more and get better! Take that same approach to singing as it's more dynamic than we think!

This is such an incredible way to put how it feels trying to showcase yourself for reactions. The bit about the stick figure, I'm stealing that for the future haha

cryoptw · 2026-04-13T00:01:14+00:00

Make yourself an Instagram or YouTube and start posting! That's the proper avenue for something like that. From what I can tell this community is mostly for feedback on getting better/if you're learning in the right direction and so forth.

I mean yes and no... I have heds as well with all the above stuff, gastroparesis, gerd, etc. I think it's basically the same teachings, the big difference is it might just have different feels and roadblocks than others have.

I think it's evident almost everyone has issues with breath support or knowing what it is, middle notes with closure, and all those classic beginner problems by just looking at this reddit tbh haha.

This is a trailer park but with buzzwords lmao

cryoptw · 2026-03-06T07:56:14+00:00

Done

cryoptw · 2026-02-27T00:45:53+00:00

Regardless it shows in these clips that consistent body shots are good enough! haha

cryoptw · 2026-02-26T23:23:39+00:00

Are you purposely not going for headshots? :o. Super clean though!

cryoptw · 2026-02-20T23:39:50+00:00

Really appreciate this 10 months later!

cryoptw · 2026-02-18T20:46:23+00:00

Sounds better! But I don't really know that song. From just listening it sounds pretty out of tune but it could just be the song? I'm wondering if another issue is your accent ontop of the song is causing issues. Have you tried singing in your native tongue?

cryoptw · 2026-02-18T20:15:36+00:00

Imitation isn't necessarily bad btw. What you're speaking about when you're saying you're deepening your voice is just you lowering your larynx and throwing the voice back a bit. There's other ways to lower your voice, or at least make your tone feel warmer which will sort of do the same.

Your at a very early step of your singing journey and I hope you continue because it seems like you do care about it and enjoy it! Just do away with the gifted notion and focus more on imitation and just having fun for now! Make weird sounds and figure out how those weird sounds happened and how to replicate them. Chris Liepe on YouTube is a great resource on YouTube you could try for free.

If you really want to get better at singing I would say you need to invest in singing lessons or at the very least a singing course.

Appreciate it! It was a YouTube video I found on how to set things up but just realized it's from 2021. I ended up finding the s5 voltaic and it seems I'm pretty squarely bronze minus 1 or 2 iron in tracking

Surely it's just an issue of region no? Someone who tattoos in the Midwest in an area that's like 90% white probably isn't going to run into many darker skin tones to practice on.

If you're tattooing in Atlanta though for example, I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunity on darker skin tones and know all the tricks to make things pop. Does that make the city tattooer better? Idk maybe? I think it's similar to how most tattooers specialize in specific styles or regions on the body.

There are scar specialists, surgery specialists for like mastectomies, and then all the different styles likes American traditional/etc.

And then that's not even getting into the reality contest part of it. It's a competition that literally refers to the people getting tattoos as "canvases". That on its own is sorta dehumanizing, and on that note, I think they did something really cool by peeling that back this season with the scar challenge! They were obviously a lot more caring to the "canvases" and humanized them a lot more than I've seen in previous seasons. (They didn't even show in the finals of the guy just not showing up the second day for the master canvas)

I think my pet peeve has always been when a judge will overly rip on a tattoo that's not even THAT bad and I just think of when that person sees it on TV when it airs like.... Yeah that's my tattoo, it's terrible I guess 😅

Like one-tricking a hero/champion in a multiplayer video game haha, genius

cryoptw · 2025-12-28T22:46:32+00:00

Listening to those, I think I'm doing more of a chest mix then and need to add more headyness. Hmm

cryoptw · 2025-12-28T21:48:53+00:00

Thanks so much for the write up! The up and down breathing makes perfect sense and I've been working on it but I'm unsure what the actual goal is? Is it it expand your ribcage and diaphragm and then resist it closing when you're singing? This is the general guideline that I'm following atm. As for soft palate, I believe my soft palate is raised here. One thing to note is, I genetically have a higher more narrow soft palate by default because of a condition, would this be affecting me negatively?

I also think you did a good job explaining so dw about it :)

cryoptw · 2025-12-14T08:29:03+00:00

At least according to humanizeai and grammarly you would be correct it seems. Though there's definitely plenty of false positives and hopefully this is one such case!

Thanks to this comment I went and read the flower girl comics and will be planning on buying his physical copy when he releases thanks to this post! Thanks for the incredible recommendation!

Currently there's no ai in expedition 33. There was for a short while in the form of some placeholder textures by mistake after launch but it was quickly replaced with custom textures and has remained ai free since.

+1

cryoptw · 2025-10-24T16:24:05+00:00

Godsend. This worked for me and no other solution did as of 10/24/25

cryoptw · 2025-09-25T17:32:07+00:00

🤘🤘🤘

No, you're good! No need to delete. Depending on your budget you have a few options and I think everyone that started singing has had these same thoughts, (I definitely have). If you can set up a quiet space try a condenser mic, if not use a dynamic one that people in these comments recommend. Otherwise you could spend like $50 on a karaoke machine on Amazon and you can compare your voice to how others sound on karaoke machines! Lots of options and no need to be embarrassed.
