Only my second performance for any sort of audience, so plenty of room for improvement.

Please feel free to offer feedback on one or two things you think I should focus on to improve for the next song.

Thank you!

This is very different from the original (I’m an aged Swifty!) and it’s very good. Your voice is a bit lost in the mix sometimes so perhaps a better mic position and some more variation to the strum pattern. Very enjoyable.

Hi Phil, I don’t play the electric guitar and I’m not able to offer much advice. My impressions are the following:

  • you keep good timing
  • your voice is very enjoyable too, but should be a bit louder
    It was overall an enjoyable listening. Well done on the song and on recording and sharing it!

Hi Phil. Good on you for posting your second recording.
I think some variation in the strumming pattern would improve things and give the song more dynamics. Your current pattern is creating a situation where the melody of the song is a bit lost.

Hi Phil,

I hear a lot of potential since you keep a steady flow and you have knack for the intervals

try
-practicing standing up

  • using a pick for this strumming for a tighter rhythm
  • capo on fret 1 or 2 (standing up will -certainly- make it easier to sing! It will improve pitch stability as well)

I’ve got the feeling there is even more “performance energy” in there wanting to come out.
Why not try to call upon it and channel it? :wink:
There is still a slight “doubt” that keeps you from singing like you really mean it…While me can see you enjoy it!

Explore singing it standing up without guitar, 1 or 2 semitones higher. feet slightly apart, shoulders straight BUT relaxed (let your shoulders hang relaxed though)

You know what,;
Check out this Live Club, i think it will have some valuable nuggets for you.

I just FEEL you would like to get on stage, to get better, believe in yourself, give it all, etc! It must be some kind of instinct

If that makes any sense to you, check some of my other Live Clubs (check “past events” and my name as filter) (or drop me a mail)
