Me Singing Helloween-Rise & Fall

Well, thanks for the advice and I know you guys are right. I want to try with a band, I just need to know where my life is heading first. I am certainly an ametur and need a better setting and more practice. However, right now this is the best I can do. I can do kareokee but I have no way of getting video of that. I will try another video later with a better song and bring the music closer to the camera. Also cut the antics out, which obviously didn't go off well (probably best to do a more serious song).

Apart from jumping at the mic at the start all I saw was a few flicks of the hair and not much else.

Well I did lower the microphone and mimed a midget metal vocalist then raised the mic and did a Lemmy impersonation (not planned but before that bit the mic stand had slid down slightly and when I raised it back up it was too high so I just improvised). Also I put my face up to the camera to emphasize the "couldn't get it up" bit. However, I guess it was only funny in my mind so I understand.

Just do a better song. "Rise and Fall" sucks.

do Dr. Stein!

I can do that, I think I can do the lyrics better and my timing won't be so off.

It has been said here before so I won't repeat anything mentioned but unfortunately I don't think the style you were singing there suits your voice.

You may have some vocal talent but I cannot hear it on that track. If you like death metal and are passionate about it maybe try out a more deeper / raspy tone.

As for power metal, sorry dude it's not there. Even without a band and without equipment - most of these guys can sing just as well it's a matter of whether you have a voice for it or not. But don't beat yourself up about it because not many have the right voice for power metal - not everyone is Bruce Dickinson or Eric Adams.

My voice is not made for power metal (or the European style) for sure. This was more or less just a trial run. I think my voice can work with a gothier metal style, prog metal, or whatever you would call the post Mountain King Savatage (and Circle II Circle) sound.

You get points for having the nerve to show your video... but like someone else said, try doing it in a band situation and see what happens. I also would rather hear you sing something without the corny accent... Try another song and band.

Seriously, I had NO idea that I was doing an accent unless your talking about the last "rise" "fall" which was just me mimicking the voice in the song.

Your accent sounds German, or Swedish or Finnish

I never would have thought you're from Texas
