Happy Valentines Day. Let’s get romantic. This is John Mayer’s version of Beyonce’s “XO”.
It’s been a week since recording this and it is plain to see the necessity to add voice exercise to my daily routine. Enjoy and hopefully we’ll see some progress in the next one.
Nice work Nick. I love that you’re bringing music into the life of your two little girls and leading by example. A fine example it is. You’ve got a steady groove and a voice that’s promising.
A tip I learned from Marc Martel who uses this in his pre-show warm-up, that might help you support your voice better and improve your air flow, is to get a drinking straw, put some water in a bottle and to vocalize some scales or arpeggios of whatever sounds you feel like through the straw so that the water bubbles. This strengthens the muscles that support breathing, and encourages you to use more of your lung capacity. If you want more detail let me know and I’ll send you a video he made.
Hi Nick, that was super cool, didn’t realize John covered Beyonce’s song. To be fair I am not that into John Mayer for some odd reason (just didn’t get there yet), but for as much as I know him I think your voice is very similar to his, you have this sort of thing in the back of your throat going that resembles his voice in my head.
Overall superb performance, really enjoyed it and thanks for the upload!
You already have a good voice, so you’ve got a great foundation to build on, and the right attitude about it, too. I’m betting that practice and use will polish your vocals very rapidly.
