I am uploading them now one at a time.

Please note that none of the samples represent in any way shape or form the way the albums they came from do. Obviously I don't own the songwriting, publishing or copyrights to any of the originals. If these have to get taken down because of these issues, they will return in worse quality and shorter. I've tried not to step on any toes by keeping them as short as necessary.

Cool, let's hear...

Click on the link an you'll get a list.

Okay. It's just taking it's sweet ass time for the song to appear as being available.

I just listened to Forever. Dear god man, are you tone deaf?

I'm honestly not sure what to say.

Which track(s) you heard?

A few picked here and there. Dio, Rush, Dream Theater, Kreator, Ayreon.

And you can't form an opinion after all those tracks? I just heard "Forever" and knew the truth. Adveser is god.

I refer you to my previous comment, re not knowing what to say. "God" means many things, to many people...

I know, that's why I used that vague term

I should probably be more critical when I listen to something I recorded a few too many times. I did a few more of that track and my mind must have ignored how bad that take was. It was all one take. Horrendous looking back at it with a more critical ear, but there's far better in that batch.

Listened to Rainbow in the Dark, Hope and Forever. Forever was definitely the worst. Others were ok. Yeah.

Adveser man, get a new hobby.

Thanks guys for all the help. I think the mistake here is being too operatic, IE changing tones at the expense of pitch and voice consistency. On a lot of the tracks this works, but on the tracks it doesn't it sounds amatuerish and like I don't have any control. I need to stop putting the cart before the horse and just do these mono-tone and simply adjust the pitch (an nothing more) and make changes from there. I'm making the mistake of inducing a new tone where it isn't needed at times and I can't really make it believable. It's always my case. When it's on it's dead on and when it isn't it's a huge failure. I should be taking it as a good sign that I can get through a whole song with a consistent voice quality spanning quite a few octaves.

I mean, my point is you can't hit some notes sounding like a Baritone sax and some notes like a soprano sax. That doesn't work and I'm trying to make it work because I can do it when that's not the idea for the voice at all, regardless how difficult the technique is.

Wow, who strangled the cat?

Seriously though this was pretty bad, you are nowhere on par with..well, any of these singers really. You pretty much butchered all the songs i've listened to, i've not listened to all of these demos but after hearing several of them i have come to the conclusion that you are in fact a terrible singer, i'm sorry but that's them breaks, if you were on a talent show say American Idol, Simon would probably tear you a new one.

Sorry if i'm too harsh, but did you really listen to your own voice and think that you could sing as good as Daniel Heiman, Roy Khan, Dio and the like?

That is all...

To answer your post Necrodude, none of the songs I felt were the best got any play at all and if it wasn't obvious, I can change the tone of my voice in a way that I'm not sure many could do. This has been a major setback to be honest and becomes more of a liability the more I am able to turn that predisposition into more palatable singing styles.

I legitamately have the world's largest vocal range of over 8 octaves and seem to be far more concerned with matching the dozens over/under tones and vocal quality to the original singer than singing strictly in key. I consider all those things equally important to me. You all have a point that this would be much more easy to argue if a more contemporary version and much improved version of my singing were to surface.

I wanted to do something like this to see if I was going to be able to get away with drastically altering the vocal quality every note and syllable like only a seriously trained opera singer would be able to manage and frankly that is a ways off in the future and a long time ago in another life. I should go back to the basics of holding the same tone and breathing the different notes out. It seems that is what everyone wants to equate with quality singing, which frankly is flat out wrong, but the alternative is just insanely difficult at this time since I have worked backwards in that regard. It is the difference between extremely textured and nuianced Lifeson chords and a simple power chords. But if power chords are what is required, that will be easy to demonstrate. Then maybe later go for more nuiance.

I'm embrassaed to play these loud enough that people around me may hear. The Kreator one was hilarious.
