Fans of Powermetal/Heavy Metal - Do you like the singer?

[Felix Neumann]

---UPDATE---


VERSE 2 (with higher notes) Aaaaaaaaaaarghhhh!!!


What do you think about the 2. Verse? I wanted an intensification in comparison with the 1. Verse. I hope successfull!





Hail to my dragonslaying brothers

First of all...I´m the singer! So I need your honest opinions about it!!

Is my singin´okay, or should I abort the dream of a Powermetal vocal carrier immediately?

Here we go:

My Powermetaaaaal voice


Greetings,

Felix Neumann

 

[The Crystal King]

Sounds really good!!

From what I can hear there, sounds really cool! You have a good tone and I would like to hear how you sound going higher, maybe in a faster song.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Waaaahhhhh Thank you man!!! I can go quite high with my voice. I´ve never dared to show someone my singing voice..I don´t had the balls. Maybe that´s why I can sing this tones..hahah again, Thank you very much for your time to listen to it, bro!

 

[Eddy]

Nothing to be ashamed of there Felix, sounds great! I'd also like to hear you singing higher notes.

Your voice reminds me of someone else's, but I just can't figure out who...

 

[Felix Neumann]

Thanks so much, man!! It´s very pleasent to read that, because I thought, I don´t have a good voice for stuff like this. I´m corious for opinions, maybe someone think, it´s totaly crap..I still try to drop my euphoria a bit. If I deceide to make the vocal performances for the next record, you´ll definitively hear also higher notes from me.

 

[Emdprodukt]

I told you my friend.... no need to worry!

 

[Ola Englund]

+1 on everyone else, you can get the work done yourself!

You sound really dark for a power metal singer You have to sing happily Good voice, but like I said before, I have to hear it on a "ride the dragon across the sky, take my hand and follow sign" kinda song.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Thank you, dudes It´s so good to read this.

I´ll try to add a weird, special element in my style. Don´t want to sound like another singer! For this song a nevermorish style would match perfectly, I think.

Any proposals/Ideas for different styles of singing? I also would be thankful for recording/mixing opinions!

You have to sing happily

Hahahaha I´ll try, dude....

 

[Ola Englund]

For this song a nevermorish style would match perfectly, I think.

It totally fits the song, I like to hump everything that sounds like nevermore!

 

[Skinny Viking]

Dude, not bad at all

Try adding just a little more throat in your voice and start a melodic doom metal project.

Thanks Ola I also LOVE Nevermore a lot...the music has an emotional element, wich I totaly dig!!

Throat...yeahh, sometimes I think, my voice could be a bit stronger. Can you learn this, or is this unlearnable? I also think about having vocal lessons..actually classical.

Thanks for your words, dude

 

[Skinny Viking]

Can you learn this, or is this unlearnable?

Thanks for your words, dude

Learn it? Don't know ... just get a little pissed off at something and then do your vocals, it'll work

There are not enough Candlemass/Solitude Aeturnus type bands ... you have a good voice for that kind of stuff. It has a "darker" quality to it that fits that type of music in my opinion

Haha yeah, I will try it. Being pissed is not the problem for me at this times I played with the thought, making a doomy project. If I would really deceide to perform the vocals for it, I´d have totaly freedom. In the last years I always was in search of singers...

Thanks again, man

 

[Skinny Viking]

Haha yeah, I will try it. Being pissed is not the problem for me at this times I played with the thought, making a doomy project. If I really would deceide to perform the vocals for it, I´d have totaly freedom, cause I could make all music alone. In the last years I always was in search of singers..since today I know, I could try it on my own. Nevertheless I will take some vocal lessons

Thanks again, man

I wish I had that option of just doing EVERYTHING sometimes. I can't sing, at least not as a lead vocalist. I manage well enough for backups and harmonies but the stuff I write demands a real singer and I'm just not it

If you care for a laugh you can hear my 1st attempt at lead vocals to one of our older tunes. Its from about 7 years ago I think but it was long before we got our current vocalist so I honestly can't wait for a chance to have him go in and redo the lead vocals to this

Holy shit Felix, sounds fantastic man! I feel on some of the notes you get a little too melodramatic/cheesy sounding (mostly the low notes, like "Will I ever reach the puhlace" ), but when you do "the place of million stones" (?), it sounds fantastic; really dude, keep it high IMO, but if you're gonna go low I'd suggest studying Matt Barlow, cuz he's the only singer who sings low that actually like (and yes, that includes Warrel Dane, I can't stand the guy's voice ). Anyway, that's all personal preference, the point is you nailed it with expressiveness and especially pitch, and goddamn you for being able to sing - I wish I could do it too, so that'd be one less person I'd have to deal with in a band! And of course you know all about that!

 

[Felix Neumann]

Damn...I wished, I had more time NOW to answer in detail..I have to leave immediately, but let me just say THANKS SO MUCH @Marcus & @Skinny Viking!! I´ll answer tomorow in detail!!

... Matt Barlow, cuz he's the only singer who sings low...

That's it, I think! At the beginning some things reminded me of Matt Barlow. Not to say that Felix sounds like him (don't get me wrong, Felix still has great voice IMHO), just that for some reason I was thinking of Barlow...

But there was something else too, I just can't put my finger on it...

 

[Black neon bob]

Felix, sounds great.. turn your voice up a bit on when you hit the low notes (like in the beginning).
