This is a demo reel I just made and hopefully it sounds good. I'd like any comments and advice and if any parts are available in an animation I'd love to be a part of it. Thanks. I'll be posting my singing demo in a moment. That one's not so great cause of my throat but eh... the singing was also from an anime so that's why I sound eh.... bleh

Hey, those are pretty good! I didn't know the song but it sounded all in tune to me {thumb2} How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I'm turning 15 soon. I'm hoping for my mom to sign me up for some acting and singing lessons soon since I have no after school sports this season. What do you think? I have a very bad sore throat though and I'm glad it sounds decent :roll:

I'd like to hear you without the sore throat as it's hard to judge how good you are. Your voice sounds nice but no doubt it would be loads better if your throat wasn't bad {thumb2}

Thank you. Would you suggest some possible songs or lines for me to do? You can view the song I sang here. The singer has such a clear voice. I know I'm very bad when compared to her. But just so you know what the music originally sounds like.... and my voice over? What did you think of that?

Oh and for your music I really like it. You sing really well :D

You could practise scales to help the notes come easier. If you have a piano or keyboard, practise singing the notes in sequence from bottom C to top C (or from your most comfortable low note to your most comfortable high note!) To be honest, with my experience of singing lessons, they only help you if you want to sing classically. I used to sing Opera and it completely messed with my natural style of singing! Now when I want to warm up my voice, I just sing the scales a couple of times. It saves on money and does the job of waking my voice up as well as any singing teacher lol!

Oh well really I just want to sing. I don't want to sing opera but other then that I'll be fine to sing any other song. From like Hannah Montana (I'm not too fond of her just her music) to like My heart will go on by Celine Dion. I'll try that out maybe when I'm practicing piano but how do I know I song nice lol. My mom says I can't sing. She says I sing terrible :P

I like it-- I'm sure you'd sound even better when your throat is feeling better! Good luck getting a part!!!!

Thanks. I really hope whatever I have will go away soon. It's really not fun. I like have phlegm in my throat and can't get it out. It's disgusting

I think it would really benefit you if you could be trained by a teacher. Look for one with a more contemporary rather than classical approach, and this will get you started on some basics. You really shouldn't be singing with a sore throat, because you're putting tension on your vocal chords which not only damages them, but can result in the formation of nodules & polyps.
