Feedback on my video for my Ma

AutisticBuddy2023

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to listen to some of my singing? I'm doing a video for my Ma for her birthday but would appreciate some honest feedback first so I don't make a fool myself! 

I hope it's ok to put the link here. The video isn't for profit and there's nothing identifying in it, just some talking and singing and a picture of the blue sky.

My Ma is a big fan of Elvis and Fame and Fortune is her favourite song so that's the one I'm attempting.

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/kYBN2Nsjwd0

Please let me know what you think Slight smile 

If all good then I'll continue and try to make this perfect for my Ma's birthday come August.

Thanks very much guys.

    Thank you both for your support and encouragement. My Ma was delighted with my version of Fame and Fortune, and had a good birthday on the 2nd.

    I'm hoping to be more active here now as I was recently diagnosed with CFS and have a lot more time and I think it will be good for me being here amongst like minded people who understand.

    I'm not entirely sure. I think it's from one of movies but I don't know which.

    Thanks mate! Grinning 

    I'm lucky that my voice is naturally deep so it's fairly at home with an Elvis Presley tune, though nowhere near as good it's fair to say! 

    I like Michael Bublé. He's got an impressive voice and has quite a good range. I always think of him as a mix of Elvis and Sinatra. He has that deep soulful tone.

    Thanks for your reply and feedback.

  • I’m not familiar with the song (is it from the movie Fame?) but you clearly hold a good tune and are an impressive mimic of Elvis’ style. Coincidentally I was watching the Late Late show last night and Michael Buble was on there, and -showing his influences, what he’s taken from each artist- did a pitch perfect Elvis and said that the trick was a ‘quick vibrato’ (I think I get what he means) combined with not letting any vowel linger too long (he demonstrated the opposite in his Frank Sinatra). Anyway, I think you show the same knack for that kind of understanding of technique and mimicry and I’m sure you ma will love it.
