-------------------------------------------------------------


Rules

How it Works:[list]
• This being the preliminary round, members who are interested send in a sample recording.
• Before the submission deadline has passed, the judges will determine the number of participants for the first official round. Out of the submissions, we will choose the best in order to fill those spots.
• Each round, based on community feedback and judges' opinions, a participant will be eliminated from the competition until only one is left, our CB Idol.

Submission Guidelines:

• Each submission should be at least 30 seconds long.
• Use only your own voice - no background vocals or harmony.
• Background music is allowed and recommended. If you don't know where to get accompaniment tracks for your songs, I suggest searching for a midi file - these can be easily found and are usually free.
• Submission must be your own and must be something that was not previously posted elsewhere.

While we're still just starting CBI2, any suggestions (themes, judging, or otherwise) can be sent to Libertie, Arjuna Capulong, or tic tac. Please send in your submissions by Saturday, May 5th. Good luck!

(By the way, to those who have asked about why my entries from CBI1 have disappeared, they've been rehosted. You can now find them here.)

Alright, here's my critique.

Jane- Ah don't push the pop voice. It sounds like you're singing through your nose and with small mouth. Drop your chin and jaw down for vowels. Keep your mouth open and don't push the sounds. It will come naturally with practice.

br34ker4lyfe - You have a beautiful rich tone to your voice! Be careful not to sing through your nose, especially on words like who. Think of blowing out a candle, that's what your mouth should look like on words like who and you. With some proper vocal training you could really get somewhere! Keep it up!

Anastasia- Ah don't make excuses ever! If you say something like that at an audition they'll ask you to leave right there. Watch words like you, truth and who. It sounds like you're saying ew. Drop your jaw to make it an ooo. Nice range though! At the end I can't understand a word you're saying. For future reference, when singing a capella never wait for where the music would be.

Danielle- I love your voice! Just watch the one part when your go low at the beginning, you're sinking into you're chest voice. Watch the last you, it came out like yew. Other than that great job!

Kim- You obviously have some sort of vocal training, you're vowels are perfect! Beautiful tone! The only thing I noticed is you're voice got a bit brassy at the end crescendo. Other than that nice!

Anastatia:
You have a great voice but the choice of the song was kinda eh.
Try selecting a slow song. You vocals would shine more =P

Hm, name a song and I'll try singing it.

Anastasia- Ah don't make excuses ever! If you say something like that at an audition they'll ask you to leave right there. Watch words like you, truth and who. It sounds like you're saying ew. Drop your jaw to make it an ooo. Nice range though! At the end I can't understand a word you're saying. For future reference, when singing a capella never wait for where the music would be.

You do realize I'm already a signed artist?














Lol just kidding. :)
Capella?
