I'd love some feedback on the vocals. What can I do to improve them?
I know my timing is a little off, and the guitar strings need changing.

Any feedback would be great.
Note the fancy key change in the song!

the link is "hxxp" i changed to http and it worked

the vocals are pretty weak, while they're on key for the most part youre more speaking than singing. they have a weird al tinge to them to be honest...

not bad though

in your vocals, be really careful about your pronunciations. very specific your "r's" you're putting too much r on it and it makes it sound country, make sure you're opening your mouth wide.

i think this song has been recorded a bit too low for you, bring it up a couple steps and you can use your singing voice as opposed to singing w/ your talking voice.

you also have a few rhythm skips in there that really throw the whole song off. try tapping your feet or playing to a metronome.

i'd really like to hear this or something else re recorded that is more in your vocal range. keep it up and keep posting. advice can only help

Thanks for the advice, you two.
The "yers" are on purpose, as that's how she says them in the song.

I'm going on vacation next week, and I'll have a better mic and recording setup, as well as a friend who plays bass/banjo/pretty much anything. I'll take your advice and record it a step or two up. That original was capo II, so I'll try IV or V or VI.

Thanks,

Tony
